Dawg, someone find this man and throw eggs at him.

If you’re curious about the guy, he’s worth reading. His Letters and Papers from Prison and Ethics are the two dealing with all of this. Ethics is unfinished, because he was moved from a standard prison to a concentration camp before they eventually executed him.

Not many, but my hope is that anyone interested enough does a little research.

Bonhoeffer’s pacifism is a complicated matter. He believed in nonviolence, but also participated in a plot to kill Hitler.

To summarize him a little…. Sometimes we need to abandon our principles to care for others. My goodness is less important than the wellbeing of those who are oppressed.

I tell people that I’m a pacifist in the same way that Bonhoeffer was.

He does stupidly well with the ladies. Kavorka for days.

I teach philosophy at a community college.

I have learned from my students that their high schools didn’t ever require them to read a whole book or write much of anything. They also didn’t teach them some essential computer skills.

Strangest of all, it is apparently a common practice to award a base grade of 50% on all assignments, even for missing work.

So, my introductory philosophy class, which I have designed to be very easy (you likely get an A for showing up, talking, and turning things in on time) ends up being more difficult than anything they’ve ever done in school so far because I’m asking them to read 10 or so pages a week and write around 500 words a week.

Mr. Burton is a treasure.

For some reason I find this look to be more attractive than most of Troi’s outfits in TNG.

She always looks beautiful, and all that, but Marina Sirtis could have killed it in a western.

I regularly see 2 on my commute. I wouldn’t exactly notice that I have a similar commute to other people, but a Cybertruck sticks out.

1 of them has been painted a matte black that looks like a chalkboard (good luck to them when the road salt comes out) and the other is the regular finish.

Either way, I’m always thinking about just how fucking dorky the things look compared to everything else on the highway.

And it’s not like they’re using it for anything cool. They’re both just stuck in the same traffic as the rest of us.

I went through 4 years of high school without ever taking a shit at school for this very reason.

In academia (my line of work) they’re required to have positions posted and open for a certain amount of time, interview a certain number of applicants, etc.

In theory, it’s for equal opportunity and finding the best person for the job.

In practice, it’s a waste of time, money, and hope.

We are deeply honored to have received your application (which we did not bother to read).

We’re sorry we didn’t hire you, but also never contact us again.

Yeah. Nestle is responsible for the deaths of several million infants (that’s not an exaggeration) and owns slaves.

Like, I’m no fan of Nintendo’s stance on a lot of things, but they’re not the Devil.

I truly love that the writers set Dukat up for a redemption arc, but that he chose to become worse instead.

People always talk about Riker and the ladies, but Worf also did pretty darn well.

You can buy something like this here in the US.

The roll is smaller, and they market it as being made for camping (takes up less space in the pack, etc). It also, of course, costs more because of this, since modern camping gear loves to price gouge.

If you’re going to pack TP though, just spool what you need around something smaller in diameter (like a skewer). Or if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves instead, those are free.

Kayfabe is the wrestling term for always staying “in character.”
