Not the guy you asked but maybe try to find the root of your habit. When I'm continuously doing something I want to stop, I find there's a reason. Like for me, I drink more often than I mean to because I'm bored and feeling like my life has no meaning, but alcohol helps me relax and enjoy the little day to day things. So then that gives me a path forward: find things I'm more passionate about, do more fulfilling things instead of going straight to video games and tv, go back to therapy, etc.
So maybe your drinking is because you're just bored, maybe you have an underlying issue like depression or anxiety, maybe you're medicating your stress or avoiding addressing something. Idk it's up to you.
But remember that you typically do things for a reason, and you're not alone in struggling with this issue. It's a lot of us man
Reminds me of my local Rally's switching to an "automated drive thru assistant." The jank thing doesn't even respond when you talk to it, just reminds you every 60 seconds that it's ready when you are. First time I went I drove off. Went a second time thinking it might have been a fluke and I'd get actual human service. Nope. Guess I'll be finding a new burger place for my hangovers
Yeah even if this is a new new account of the same user, we could do without the why haven't they been banned yet. I think we can all agree it takes time for the admins to notice these things - and they're volunteers anyway. They need some leeway
Hoping that one makes the transition myself. I would also love to see r/AcademicBiblical make the move. It was a great collection of resources and academic-level discussion of ancient judeo-christian religion. I mod three communities right now, and c/BiblicalStudies at !biblicalstudies@lemmy.world is the only one I made with the hopes of one day handing it off completely to someone with more expertise than me. Doesn't have to be the reddit mods (I disagree with that idea), just someone better suited for that rigorous of a community
Fair enough, Last Crusade was the original ending for the series. And you make a lot of other good points.
Personally, I like how KotCS brings back and resolves Indy's relationship with Marion. To me, that's a very important resolution. But, that could just be me and my eternal crush on Marion haha! So I can see how others would disagree
Humanity's existed for hundreds of thousands of years without any kind of permanent medium, and we still do. It's only in the very recent history of extreme archival that we've come to think that information should last forever.
Houses, cities, peoples, cultures, public works, countries, knowledge, technologies, languages - all that we are is ephemeral, and we'll continue on
Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy the twitter-takes? Don't get me wrong, I actually agree with most of the takes. It's just that it all feels like they're trying to one-up each other with the cleverest gotcha and it makes me roll my eyes. Maybe I'm just not the target audience for a twitter/mastodon style community
How about you use the most basic social etiquette available and be at least not a total asshole.
And how about I take this chance to remind everyone that we can all block the users we don't want to interact with. And that maintaining a block list is a great way to ensure a decent online experience
you seem to be requiring these characters to be in a constant state of objectification to receive the label
I'm not. It's about context. To treat objectification as some binary completely misses the point of objectification in the first place. As a facet of social philosophy, the idea has merit due to its context within culture and within the context of the media itself. Even if I agreed that a single sexual scene is objectifying (I don't) it would merely be in a semantic sense when (in the example of Thor) throughout the entire movie he is a multifaceted character who is clearly treated with respect by the creators.
Agency and subjectivity, in concerns to objectification, are so important because they're the whole point. When we assume the incredibly reductive definition of objectification as merely being acknowledged or treated as a sexual being we rob others of their ability to choose to embrace their sexuality. Thereby that definition of objectification is in itself objectifying.
Are you objectifying your partner by checking them out when they're unclothed? Are you objectifying your partner by having sex with them? Most likely not. How do I know? Because, presumably, your partner is exercising enthusiastic consent - they are exercising their subjectivity and agency within context of a healthy and respectful relationship.
To suggest a single scene fits a semantic definition of objectification ‐ as someone who had to study this stuff in university - completely misses the point of why objectification matters
Edit: you also seem to be relying on your past experience with this term for your understanding of it. I would advise against that. Many many many groups of people completely miss the point or misrepresent objectification
In agreement with your broader point but a different approach: to say that we should die out as a species due to climate change is over-simplifying, imo. Yes, there are hardships ahead and we truly need to look at ourselves as a species and ask what needs to change for the sake of ethics and others. However, we have been in dire situations before, albeit with less foreknowledge. Would someone living in, say, 1840 have wished that humanity had died out in the bronze age collapse, when the near-entirety of known civilization collapsed due to climate change?
When considering the entire species we can't take such a short term view. Yes, hard times are ahead. Yes, we will get through it. I say if one is inclined not to have kids, he should not have kids. But if one is inclined to do so, he should do so
