@UncleIroh Indeed. Most people don't think to ask why something is done a certain way or bother to investigate if it always was. The current year is always assumed to be the best (or at least better than prior years in all ways).
It doesn't help that most people's philosophical repertoire is as expansive as a series of platitudes and truisms.
@TimeSpent That is one upset cat!
@Justicar That looks terrible.
@Shlomo Accurate.
@UncleIroh @Kagekokoro @Stahesh It's difficult to pin it to a few things, but I'm certain the weight of guilt placed upon them by the victors of WWII did not help.
@sickburnbro It's hard to say how long it will take for prices to rise further, but it's a good reason to stock up like everyone should have been doing this whole time.
@MrpoopyButhole Long live the king!
@MrpoopyButhole It's basically tradition at this point that I use the default modified in some way. Maybe I'll change it in the future.
@ButtWorldsMan @MrpoopyButhole Have we been listening to TFM so long that we know his stories like grandchildren?
@UncleIroh I'm happy to see someone use IFF correctly.
@UncleIroh
Given these countries' behaviors, it seems they do not feel compelled to act with haste, which makes sense. They do not seem to emotionally expect or need the "touchdown", "knockout punch" victory.
Even if Russia and Iran know that nuclear war is on the horizon, since time is on their side, why would they not continue to bleed the Regime? What have they to gain by striking now?
@UncleIroh I agree!
Every tool should be available for analysis, especially if it could give you an insight into how someone else thinks. Understanding the other person's worldview provides a great deal of information.
Part of knowing thy enemy is knowing their ontological foundation and their personal cosmology.
@Shadowman311 They're classified as whatever the government(s) need them to be so as to make them more vulnerable to their coercion.
@VooDooMedic She's a thot; that is universal to all ethnic groups' females.
@PapaPole Windows: Notepad++ is the easiest. Sublime should also have it.
@PapaPole Depending on the text editor that does exist. You can also write scripts for things like camel and snake cases.
@ButtWorldsMan It seems we have had a difficult time learning this lesson.
It helped me understand why the operation of government bureaucracy is as it is and why in some ways it must be the way it is.
There is no solution to "fix" bureaucracy as it is merely a method of management. There are only means to limit the potential for corruption and arbitrary rule within it.
To everyone who happens to read this post, I highly recommend listening to the free audio book or reading the print version of Ludwig von Mises, "Bureaucracy".
(Links where PDF and audiobook can be sourced for free: https://mises.org/library/book/bureaucracy)
It gives amazing insight into the incentive differences between the profit and bureaucratic methods of management.
