Kant really said "Damn Platonism is kinda neat but what if it were German?"

Nothing about the world demands a particular way of talking about it.

UPitt History and Philosophy of Science had one job

I don't have any emotions but I'm neither happy nor sad about it.

Having emotions is cringe.

I'd ask Prantl's to stop making donuts that are like 700 calories a pop but that would be out of character.

For Lent I’m giving up my mental health.

.... Yeah basically

I think about this comic a lot. Make it 27 years old - I do have a 3 inch thick book titled "World War II in Photographs."

Sometimes I dream that I'm laying in bed in the exact position I'm in. I check my alarm clock and it's 3 hours after what I will realize it is when I wake up.

I'm actually quite like this: I annoy myself and my political views are largely organized around that idea.

Every passenger seat in an airplane should have two buttons which let you increase or decrease the throttle by .01%.

Okay on further reflection I would accept a visceral relationship drama starring Camie and Fixer and using the Tosche Station set they made for Book of Boba Fett. (One of the few good things about BoBF was the insane effort gone into replicating a set that only appeared in a deleted scene.)

First thing: It's probably illegal for stupid reasons but release the despecialized OT in 4k. Second thing: Incredibly (Unnecessarily) high quality 3D scans of the original film props and miniatures. Third thing: release Andor Season 2 and then kill all future story content.

After emailing the manufacturer of this model for clarification, I am pleased to report that this spitfire is hairy.

Adding a single principle to utilitarianism ("ok, but no galaxy brain stuff, alright?") and thereby perfecting moral philosophy

Having a "Philosophy makes you better at rationalizing your own actions and therefore only serves to make those who know it better at being cruel" kind of day.
