Which is cute, because "tass" in Swedish means "paw".

"See that man with the fisheyes, Sansa...? If the enemy takes the city he is responsible for cutting our heads off rather than let us be kidnapped. First he will play a series of dank licks on his Yuke."

Not really, it was a description of selflessness, mercy. Judging by your tone I'm not sure you can relate.

Kierkegaard has a charitable view of people, as is the basic position of humanism and existentialism. Jesus said "I bring the sword". Ie he gives people the choice to either love the other or get out of the way. You can't have the cake and eat it too, you can't help your friends and family while still retaining a confirmation-starved ego and putting yourself up as No.1.

I found him in 2005 (age 26), I took a philosophy 101 to get enough scores to get into uni, changed my life. His mercy is the best mercy. Made me a humanist on the spot.

Reply to comment by foul_ol_ron in Norway raises military alert level after suspicious drone sightings by quellerand
Political analysts made clear years ago that Putin's reason for swinging the sabre is to silence domestic opposition, in the simplistic trick Goebbels codified already in the early '30s: "Enact martial law, start a war, and anyone who opposes you will be called 'unpatriotic, and lose their voice.'"
Putin couldn't care less if he takes all of the Ukraine with no further loss in manpower. He's already achieved the goal of "nobody even breathe a word of dissent now" mood in the Duma. Litterally, an article commented six months ago how quiet every session is today, just Putin rambling a bit, some experts say some rehearsed stuff, and then the session is ended, no body sticking their necks out from the other side of the isle, just content to still be allowed in there.

Reply to TIL the price of textbooks increases by an average of 12% with each new edition by ExperienceKCC
As many books move into digital territory this just becomes more and more absurd.

Thanks for the summary. Yes, a whole lot of nuance is needed to get a proper view of history.

Reply to AI Can Offer Insight Into Who Responds to Antidepressants. A new algorithm predicts response to Sertraline with 83 percent accuracy. by Sariel007
I was given Sertraline and after five months of good progress my dose was upped, and a month later I had a euphoric lapse. For two months my mind broke and the walls between reality and fantasy all but vanished.
I voluntarily committed myself, and after a month of evaluation and care I was informed I had gotten a bipolar diagnosis. Today, two years later, I'm still not myself again.
So yeah, I would have liked the test OP talks about.

Reply to comment by Ringo_1956 in Being off work sick or injured linked to higher risk of suicide by BlitzOrion
I've been on sick leave for three years due to injuries, every year the compensation gets reduced, I survive (barely) on $1060/month atm. The depression is real. The anxiety is realer. Currently seeing group therapy to stop relying on putting my hands under a hot water faucet to stop the grinding recurring negative thoughts.
