Still on Gargantua and & Pantagruel. I'm thinking tho that after I finish the book of it that I'm on now, I'll spread out each book so I read like one a month instead of one every few days, I'm still enjoying it a lot, but it is definitely starting to feel a lot less fresh than it was in the very first book and there's some other stuff that I just really want to start reading already.

This is a comfy feel. I could never take up smoking tobacco as a regular hobby but every few years I'll treat myself to a cheeky clove cigarette. I've had some /comfy/ winter nights puffing on a djarum black. I generally just smoke weed, but there is something neat about the clear headed tobacco rush.

How long have you two been apart? Makeup sex is usually hot but can be a risk depending on the woman. Don't get back together though.

It's a bit of a long story, but I'll try to tell it. We were together for 7 years. We decided to end things together since we were drifting apart. So we broke up about a year and a half ago. We managed to stay friends since we had a group of mutual friends. We still had sex sometimes but that has now ended. Then we kind of lost touch due to COVID, but would sometimes check in on each other.

Fast forward to last week, a mutual friend of ours tells me that her ex-boyfriend which was also a part of our friend group was violent in their relationship which leads me to opening a discussion with my ex if she felt that I wronged her in some major way in our relationship. She thanked me for opening the discussion and said I was brave in doing it. So we'll be discussing that some time later in december.

I'm not in love with her anymore, but she use to be such a big part of my life so I still wish all the best for her. I'm not going for any makeup-sex here, and we're not getting back together.

Well I understand that Aristotle posits various virtues and that the good men live by the virtues, but I’m confused as to whether he believes in an objective good (similar to the form of the good). He says that men become good through virtuous actions and habituation of those actions, but he also explains in one part of Ethics that in any given situation where there is not an immediately obvious moral resolution, whatever a virtuous man does will necessarily be the correct moral choice. Does he think that there is objective good or does he think that there are only virtues which can reflect good character?

>>16960886
It might help to contrast his virtue ethics with the action ethics of Kant and Mill. Mill and Kant would say that in each scenario there is a possible most ethical action, although sometimes the individual might not be able to see it properly. Whereas Aristotle would say that it is the virtue that matters most in those scenarios. Since a virtuous individual would through his virtue alone be able to find the most ethical action. So I think he'd believe in the existence of objective good, but only that the virtue would be able to find it. Might be wrong though haha.

holiday movies, kdrama "start-up", and some youtube playlists of videos that teach me things iwant to learn (nonfiction/business book summaries). I find 90% of the nonfiction/business books written in the last 20 years can be accurately summarized in a 15 min youtube video, so i've been doing that and implementing it in my life and it's been a much more efficient way to learn and improve my life.

want to rebuild my relationship with my family. my relationship is good, but their relationships with each other are not good, so my brother and i are working on bringing the family closer. we are both having children soon and we grew up with almost no other family, meanwhile many of our friends have big families with cousins who are lifelong strong friends with each other and we always envied that, and we want that for our kids. this all happened in the last few days, and ive been reading Anna Karenina last few months, so now Anna Karenina is hitting so much harder, it's my favorite book ever and im not done with it yet.

you do realize that marijauna and christianity are relatively mutually exclusive?
whenever He speaks on wine it applies to all drugs, so if it causes you to forget the Law or transgress against such, then you ought not
and if you can make a case even still, which you perhaps could, then you should know what he speaks in proverbs 31, that wine and strong drink are for him who is ready to perish and are in anguish, that they may forget their poverty and remember not their misery
