What is the Nietzschean answer to rape?

This mfer is just learning Japanese and hundreds of people lose their shit. What gives?

My girlfriend made me watch it. It's the only cinema I've watched in the past year, but she insisted that I watch it.

Why do these people exist

I don’t really like blacks, but the only girls who have ever gone out of their way to talk with me have been black girls. Maybe I should just give in and get a black waifu

Why don't all atheistic/existential/absurdist philosophers and thinkers devolve into nick land antihumanism. I feel like they're just being dishonest with themselves or admitting that they are being dishonest with themselves about the nature of reality.

What does 'tangency' mean

Please recommend me some cutting edge recently published philosophy books.

Sometimes I shudder to think about what porcine beast is wasting away on the other side of these screens...
I'm sorry things didn't go quite so well for you.

Why does everyone insist that arguing semantics has no meaning? Words in society have incredible amounts of power, regardless of what concept they refer to. It seems to me properly defining a word is an ethical issue.

Henry Ford claims to hate Jews but he helped the Bolsheviks stabilize their newly created state. Merchants not even once

>co-operate with American capitalists to ensure the state doesn't collapse
The only thing it made me realise was that communism was not only a sham, but Lenin was creating a new nationality which bases itself not on common blood but on interchangeable material position

I have lost all hope for my current job and the latest interview I have is one I'm quite hopeful about. It feels kind of embarrassing to talk to a company that wants me to work there. If I get the job they are going to be so crushed by my disgusting beta autistness.

I'm looking forward to the mid-point of tomorrow and then the end of the workday so that we're in the weekday home stretch.

I wrote a DUDE /biz/ diatribe, which was praised.

I hope I manage to give up the junk food tomorrow.

I don't love women anymore

I don't believe in God, but I don't find the reddit-tier "we're just matter and when you die it's infinite nothingness" thing either. I believe there must be alternatives to either worldview, one that rejects physicalist reductionism but does not argue in favor of a first cause either.
I've read What the Buddha Taught, and I thought it had some interesting ideas, but I have no intention of becoming a Buddhist.

Are there any atheist thinkers who are also not materialists? Any books on this, preferably not scripture?
