everyone saw the Alec Baldwin thing right

2018-11-02 20:31:15 UTC  

Baldwin then followed the man to the Muni-meter and punched him, police said. The driver was taken to Lenox Hill hospital.

2018-11-02 20:31:23 UTC  

this is the funniest part

2018-11-02 20:31:23 UTC  

Both cars involved in the dispute got parking tickets for not paying the meter.

2018-11-02 20:31:30 UTC  

however their must also be a drive, or a motive, to find happiness in the action you took

2018-11-02 20:31:49 UTC  

eating 1 bit of cake wont ruin you though

2018-11-02 20:31:53 UTC  

@Dr.Wol i like it when people ask these question because it shows you they want to learn more or talk about it to make more sense of things

2018-11-02 20:32:00 UTC  

@Dr.Wol so thinking long term prevents you from acting on mindless whims

2018-11-02 20:32:20 UTC  

you guys are fun 💟

2018-11-02 20:32:27 UTC  

i am very jetlagged ngl

2018-11-02 20:32:29 UTC  

you also cant reason anything with the philosophical ideas im preaching

2018-11-02 20:32:50 UTC  

And you are right Otto, discipline isn't the all-end-all

But it creates a good ground for having stability, and you can build on a stable foundation

2018-11-02 20:32:53 UTC  

wol thats where moderation comes into play, drinking one beer wont make me an alcoholic but downing half a bottle of whisky each weekend because of lack of self-control and discipline very much could

2018-11-02 20:33:08 UTC  

also, ttv, you surely followed the culture of the west for a while

2018-11-02 20:33:20 UTC  

also what do you mean discipline

2018-11-02 20:33:30 UTC  

discipline is simply the understanding of self-control and the ability to avoid long term unhappinesses

2018-11-02 20:33:35 UTC  

can you honestly say, people can't reason anything? after everything we've seen the last 2 years? 😉

2018-11-02 20:33:44 UTC  

@Yugure you can do that with ideas

2018-11-02 20:33:56 UTC  

which is the only way to do that actually

2018-11-02 20:34:08 UTC  

Definition of discipline (Entry 1 of 2)
1a : control gained by enforcing obedience or order

2018-11-02 20:34:11 UTC  

western gobernment, but in regards to child rearing i wish we could sap some of that eastern discipline 👅

2018-11-02 20:34:17 UTC  

b : orderly or prescribed conduct or pattern of behavior
c : SELF-CONTROL

2018-11-02 20:34:33 UTC  

Eastern Discipline? like the middle-east? 😉

2018-11-02 20:34:40 UTC  

@Ottobon they do for lack of philosophy

2018-11-02 20:34:41 UTC  

kill people who don't listen?

2018-11-02 20:34:57 UTC  

thats what mental tools such as discipline, self control, etc. are, ideas. they are mental trainings and ideas we use to help make decisions in life

2018-11-02 20:35:08 UTC  

like how tf all my asian friends parents force their kids to do 3 hours of side homework each night, as a whitey white boy i dono how one establishes that much control without makign their kids psychos

2018-11-02 20:35:13 UTC  

but they often do

2018-11-02 20:35:29 UTC  

but my other question remains, does anyone have a source for the article claiming nate silver said the fivethirtyeight predictions had a 40% chance of being wrong?

2018-11-02 20:35:31 UTC  

@Ottobon you know the japs are unhappy people and have high suicide rates

2018-11-02 20:35:33 UTC  

You would be right on "people can reason anything" @Existence is identity if the world was rational, but the world is irrational

2018-11-02 20:35:46 UTC  

ya i know that there are other asians besides native japanese lmaO

2018-11-02 20:35:47 UTC  

people cant*

2018-11-02 20:35:55 UTC  

well you say they can't

2018-11-02 20:35:58 UTC  

i say they can 😄

2018-11-02 20:36:08 UTC  

@Ottobon yes they are the same

2018-11-02 20:36:09 UTC  

im talking about asian americans with first gen parents, most 1st genners are like this though asian or not but you see it more there

2018-11-02 20:36:17 UTC  

people justify the use of Gulags right now in communist circles

2018-11-02 20:36:30 UTC

2018-11-02 20:36:36 UTC
