this is why i made the topic:

if you have two metaphysical theories, and they share the same universe as a referent, then I don't see how metaphysical theories can really ever explain a world separate from another theory, since all of the facts are coming from the same concrete referent.

I think you might be a neokantian but not sure what youre meaning by some of these words

Here's a fun question for everyone

let's say the results are fuzzy and we don't quite know who won come january

is it better to keep the incumbent in, or bring the new person in? Let's try and remove ourselves from this election and talk in the abstract so hopefully partisanship goes away here cuz its a somewhat interesting question.

obv either way its a bad situation. but what do you think is the best action to take. Remember, we don't know who is in power in this situation and its all hypothetical.

i definitely think at least one parent needs to stay home with a kid just based on experience

with two its nearly impossible to have two incomes. really tugs at my wife too. I tell her all the time all she has to do is score a job that makes more dough than me and we can switch instantly (after a bit of a hunt she could probably find one with a comparable salary) but then she starts panicking about being away from the kids because she wants to be near them all the time.

its a complex struggle that the modern woman has to endure if a large portion of their identity is tied up in their career.

That said I think I'd personally be more likely to keep a participation super bowl ring than say a 1st place trophy from a regional youth baseball team

Idk, the prestige differential seems more important than the personal contribution though I suppose you could get a trophy as a bad individual player too

I talk a lot of shit rog0. I'd probably love my superbowl ring for a while, then decide I'd rather have a new guitar and sell it. But not before I showed everyone my superbowl ring and lied about how I caught a pass in the 4th quarter

rog0 have you ever won an award that wasn't a participation trophy? I think there is a difference between winning the lombardi trophy, and getting a superbowl ring as the water boy

yeah I guess its the same exact thing

There are two sides of the coin here

If little jimmy never got a participation trophy, he may not have had the confidence to keep going, keep training, and work hard to become the greatest at whatever it was he got the trophy for

but

Little fucking timmy over here gets participation trophys, and it inflates his ego, he doesn't put in the work, doesn't train, keeps getting torphys, and now has an inflated sense of self-worth. He works at a grocery store as a bagger thinking everyday that if he were fired, the business would likely go under.

My thing is John Oliver is a white man. He's the kind of person that ICE does not impact. I think it would have been worse if the joke had been said to a minority. What you should really be mad about is the fact that Kimmel has probably said more about ICE than some of your local/state representatives in the last week.

True but I think Oliver once had African ancestry and honestly do the calculus and don't be so tone deaf about things like this.

Okay been home for a while. I'm starting to feel the soreness with the local wearing off.

I waited about 20 minutes for the doctor to come in, which is great when you're already a little anxious.

I was not put under. The worst part were the shots to numb. Whole thing took about 10 minutes I think. I got the no scalpel procedure.

How'd that snip sound haha...did you see the pieces they took out?

Plan B and plan C

Gets you two things - more confidence to negotiate at your current job, and a good sense of what your paycheck should be worth (if you can get offers for $X and you are making $X - $Y at the moment, then you may be being underpaid)
