Though those aren’t really proven real: From that same Wikipedia article:

Although widely used, they are by no means a necessary feature of QFT, but rather are mathematical conveniences — as demonstrated by lattice field theory, which avoids using the concept altogether.[citation needed]

I mean aren’t you saying: “Something can happen without a cause if we just ignore the cause.”

I read ops question as about reality, not hypothetical universes that contain a hand that moves a without an arm or brain attached.

First off, thanks for answering. I’m a bit obsessed with this kinda stuff.

I mean, there’s all kinds of ethical philosophy out there. I don’t really deviate too far from it.

So vaguely western ethics? I mean some ethics frameworks are quite incompatible.

In practice, there’s a lot that most people can agree on without too much thought, too.

This is a theme I see. It’s fair to not think through it, especially when it feels obvious.

For example, the classical case study for how being agreeable can work against doing the right thing is how ordinary and nice a lot of Nazis were, when not being ordered into atrocities.

This is consistent with the above statements. I sorta agree, but obviously I have a different worldview.

So my best guess given all that is that doing a bad thing from your perspective is: Doing something you consciously know will bring harm to others.

Which I think requires:

• Free will / Independence / a distinction between internal and external.

Does that sound right?

What does it mean to do a bad thing? (I don’t belive in good/bad people, so I’m curious on how you construct that worldview)

You could define self differently. Buddhism has some fun takes on it.

No. We make choices, we think, but those choices come frome somewhere. And all of the roots are beyond our control. There is no room for free will, it is a magical reduction of why we do things. We don’t say a ball has free will when it is kicked down a hill. I can’t separate myself from the ball in any meaningful way.

Best I can offer is Hannah Montana linux

I haven’t found him tastless in a long while. He seems to just be vibing living his own life at this point.

I think you’re projecting the deliberate choice part. It think a lot of folks can get reasonably caught up in their own lives and not look into things too deep. It’s effort to overhaul your information intake. Lots of folks have very little effort left over after work, and Its is reasonable to assume nothing has convinced them that their news is bad.

I think its easier than ever to get the info, but that still doesn’t mean its easy enough that everyone and their mom automatically knows what they should be paying attention to.

Making these things about personal failings feels very unproductive. There is a lot to focus on in life. It seems better to try and make the subject approachable and comfortable.

Yeah I’m amd and vaapi works for me

Thanks for saying the name of the org. Much easier to join up that way.

Yeah I like sh.itjust.works. It seems to be a pretty balanced. North American instance.

Might wanna block universal monk. It makes the experience smoother.

That’s awesome. I have a lot of conservative family and none of them are hateful to people in front of them. They are generally very caring and kind.

From my perspective they are told to fear groups to the point of hating them. Its not rooted in any of their experiences, not originally. So, just like you, given concrete evidence they change.

I really like this. Humans are generally kind.

I’m a bit of an anarchist so I disagree on principal lol, but I do agree that that would help Linux usurp windows.

My fear is that it would just then become windows within a decade or less. Getting big and institutional may work out. I’ve just seen a lot of cases go sour.

To me the beauty of Linux is that it is less connected to large impersonal capitalistic structures. That’s why it feels different from Windows.

I agree Ubuntu is the easy choice. You can totally find a desktop you don’t have to baby sit, but Ubuntu has the marketing to help you find them and feel safe.

I’ve had no issues with fedora, I’ve been running it for about a year.

Disclaimer: people are complicated. I sorta have to project to answer and I dont know exactly what causes your jealousy.

I used to get a lot more jealous. I used to think that I was the right partner for someone and that they were making a mistake by being with someone else. I kinda justified it with this half baked empathy that wanted the girl to be happy, but didn’t accept her as an intelligent person that can navigate and choose a partner for herself.

My jealousy was rooted in a bit of a superiority complex. I needed to accept that there are a lot of good people out there just trying to find a partner. That I’m not better than them.

I think it is fine to have feelings for a girl, its also fine to be disappointed when they don’t reciprocate. No need to try and not feel those feelings. I think it is a big ask to try and control our romantic attraction, but we can manage how we respond to it.

Though again, what if I’m wrong and maybe this stems from an attachment issue yk? I’m over here projecting. Hope this helps anyways.

I get why you would feel like a bad person. You stole and that’s easily considered wrong. Feeling bad about that is natural.

I think you are allowed room for mistakes. And if something is a habit it is good to be kind to yourself. Cleaning up a long held bad habit can take longer than we expect.

My advice is that sometimes we realize we want to live differently, and that’s awesome. You obviously want to give back and be kind to people. You are also very young and impulse control is a bitch. It doesn’t finish developing till late 20s.

You’ll make more mistakes in the future. You’ll realize you’ve hurt people and that’s okay, that’s life. Just keep adjusting and don’t be too hard on yourself.
