Damn Windrunners

So refreshing seeing those words actually used in a public setting. Suicide instead of "self unaliving", rape instead of "grape", etc. Maybe I really am chronically online

They are more akin to Gestapo while MAGA as a whole is KKK, but we shouldn't nitpick

Yup, and the arguments are so weirdly self centered, too. "I went through so much when I started college, what would I talk about with someone in HIGH SCHOOL?" (19-17 gap) Dude, you started smoking pot and went to a few frat parties, it's not that deep. Also are these people just always discussing life experiences for some reason? No shared interests, hobby groups, common acquaintances?

Reddit would be outraged about an 18 yo dating a 16 yo, though. Some people have really weird and unrealistic views on this

Wasn't this guy one of those "zizian" nutjobs?

Ziz believes there are two kinds of core, "good" and "nongood". "Nongood" cores are the most common (about 95% of the population). A "nongood" core is one that only grants full agency when dealing with issues of self survival or protecting offspring. This is enforced by a filter that only unlocks full agency when it detects those objects in a situation. Sometimes this filter breaks, producing a "good" core. Because people have two cores, there are three basic alignments: "nongood", "single good", and "double good". "Single good" is about 5% of the population, having one broken core which allows limited altruistic agency. Ziz seems to believe the probability of cores breaking is independent. That means the "double good" alignment only occurs in one fourth of one percent of people. This is important because double goods are the only people who can have full altruistic agency in Ziz's worldview. In this model "core" cannot be changed and you're stuck with the morality you have. This is important to consider in later sections where we talk about what Ziz tells people about their cores.

Fair enough. I was considering France and England, too. What are your thoughts on those?

I appreciate your input, but honestly, coming from Brazil, even with those cons I can't help but wish those were my problems...

As a masters candidate I am actively looking for options in Europe in the finance field, and Germany would be my prefered country to live in. But it's hard for them to compete with ETH Zurich and Ecole Polytechnique which both have better prestige, student reviews and are close by, not even mentioning Imperial and Oxford which are great too. I was looking into TU Munich and got scared by all the negativity from students in the Reddit sub

Idk, to me Kagi stood out by being US-based, non-environmental and for profit. It's just true that it fills all the boxes

Forgot about BGG! That one is amazing, too

I just stumble upon them using Kagi search and phind.com
