Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Given what he's done, it's appalling that it is higher than 1%. 000
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 09/10/2026And of course, he's not the real problem. If it were only him, Congress would have impeached him. But they haven't because they support everything he's doing. 010
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They'd still rather have him than any Democrat. They'd still choose him over Kamala. 020
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 09/10/2026None of it matters in the long term if these idiots are just gonna vote for more Republicans. Every time you ask a dipshit who "regrets their vote" if knowing what they know now would they have voted for Kamala instead, they say "no, she would have been worse". 001

Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Liberals should just start pretending not to know who Biden is like how every Republican pundit pretends not to know who won the 2020 election or who was president in 2020. "What about Biden?" "Who's Biden?" He might as well not have existed for all the good it did to stop Trump. 000
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 07/10/2026But were there a god for whom making more happy people was trivially easy, and if more happy people existing were a moral good, I would then say that that god would be obligated to make as many happy people as possible. 000
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I see supererogatory things as things one still should do, but for which there is negative utility in deeming obligatory, but only because time, resources, and will are limited. 100
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 07/10/2026As a moral anti-realist, I acknowledge that morals are just intersubjective preferences, I think there's still utility in categorizing a preference for the existence of more happy people as a preference rather than a moral good. 100

Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 06/10/2026But of course ruining the world a la climate change, even if it didn't affect any current generation, is patently immortal as it will necessarily have an adverse affect on people who will surely exist in the future as no such collective decision not to procreate has or will likely be made. 000
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 06/10/2026So, a collective decision to cease reproduction would have also come with some kind of measures taken to ensure the last generation does not live out their days terribly as supply chains crumble and there is no one left to take care of them in their old age. 110
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 06/10/2026And if everyone decided not to have children, there would be no moral harm to all the people who would have come into existence had the human species not died out. However, there could be moral harm to this collective decision to the last generation of people who might have shit lives as a result. 110
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I don't think there's any moral utility in causing a being to exist. Moral consideration only extends to people who already exist or who will necessarily exist and be affected by your actions. So, no one is obligated to have children. 220

Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 26/09/2026"Knowledge" is just a rough isomorphism of structures in the cells of the brain to something else outside the brain. 120
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Eh, I'm done with epistemology. Epistemologists need to be forced to take information theory and computer science classes. They're always talking about "knowledge" as though we aren't the amalgamation of heuristic neural networks that we are. 110
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It's what's left of science and reason after you remove everything useful. 120
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 25/09/2026What's left in philo is just all the nonsense without any practical applications. They're all just a bunch of dualists and platonists arguing about metaphysics and ontology convincing themselves that one day they'll logic God into existence. Philo is now the field equivalent of the god of the gaps. 230
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 25/09/2026You're not wrong. Philosophy used to encompass every scientific and logical field. But as people got more serious and learned more actual stuff, those fields like math, biology, physics, chemistry, and even logic broke off into their own separate fields. 220

Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 15/09/2026But getting the audience is not their primary concern.

Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 04/09/2026If the situation doesn't warrant killing the person, then it doesn't warrant using a gun at all. Something else should be used instead like man-catchers, riot shields, tasers, or some other less lethal means. Guns are for killing and nothing else. 1110
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 04/09/2026No, it's not a thing for good reason. It's very difficult to hit someone's limb while they are moving. If you aim for a limb, you're more likely to miss. Shooting a limb doesn't even guarantee you don't kill them. And you should never be shooting at someone you don't intend to kill. 290
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Aiming for limbs isn't a thing. It's highly unreliable. But there are certainly other tools that could be used besides gun. 3370
Shufflepants @shufflepants.bsky.social · 01/09/2026This was always their position. This is why they have always been against contraception, sex education, and abortion. They didn't believe abstinence only sex Ed worked. They pushed it specifically because it doesn't work. 031
