Influential figures make their own precursors.

strsplit might be a good start.

Look up regular expressions in R. It has a lot of text processing power.

What's the dilemma?

Strange. Will remember to avoid that route in the future.

Fair enough! It looked a lot like .docx -> pdf.

I was thinking about how you wrote things. Unless you have a tiny word limit, you could spend more time demonstrating your understanding. Why do your ...

Aye. It's good to be able to speak both languages, sometimes as a matter of historical contingency or innate affinity something can be much easier in ...

I don't agree with the lacking belief definition of atheism. If something lacks belief in god, it is an atheist. Rocks lack belief in god, they lack a...

Would be nice if you incorporated the age groups from the data directly with a normal random effect, also an age group / shooting site interaction is ...

Robert looks like 'Robert from Margot's perspective', I can imagine a parallel story where Robert's struggles against the weight of tropes and expecta...

Nah, I don't mod people I like. All your suspicions of an admin illuminati are confirmed.

Text speak is like 'u' instead of 'you'; writing stuff like 'i want' instead of 'I want'. Formatting is like breaking up your posts into paragraphs co...

I deleted the post because it was written in very bad English. The content was fine, but put a bit more effort into writing it. No text speak, better ...

It's not really the discourse of the university if it's primarily a means of engaging in a hobby is it. Unless you're gonna go to the extent that all ...

I actually didn't think of bumming. Thank you for the insertion.

Should make an onion article. 'Children Flee Cinema After Seeing Trailer for Remastering of Watership Down'.

Work gets busier, no headspace left to read. Still working through Debt by David Graeber.

The best gifts your partner gives you are ones which are deeply unpleasant to receive. When they're on the side of the best version of you rather than...

I think there's a lot of easy points to score adversarially vs any of the big three psychoanalysts. Jung was mystical and unrigorous; may as well be a...

Freud and Lacan aren't the most evidence oriented thinkers either. I don't see good reasons to favour one (Freud, Lacan, Jung) over another other than...

Could say the same about Jung. Why one rather than the other when they're salt and pepper?

That's just because Jung is your shadow.

Don't know what you mean. Is it intended as a joke or as a criticism or both?

I don't think it was his viewpoints that actually got him banned. Sure, they were pretty tiresome a lot of the time, but this is a philosophy forum. M...

@"frank" Frank: I realise that you decided to avoid mentioning T because you wanted to avoid a shit-storm. Nevertheless it makes sense that T responde...

Remembered one my mother told me when I was a teenager: If you can't be good be careful, if you can't be careful tie a knot in it.

You'd probably get more insight by asking the person who said it, rather than inviting us to talk about it.

Thanks! You never actually offended me by the way. Not that it felt particularly safe to engage with you in that way, but I didn't feel particularly a...

Well I'm glad going into the role of the bully was helpful. The brutality of my delivery was probably game like, a facsimile of approaching such thing...

I think the fungibility of being a character in a script, commensuration with scripts, and being a script in its own right is something pretty unique ...

I think this makes some sense. At least, the sense I made of it was trying to play about with the analogy of shelf and script to see if it compares we...

I was of the impression that the priming of interpreting responses as scripts was the thing which set the self recursive meta-scaffolding off to begin...

@"TimeLine" This sounds pretty familiar. I had a friend (guy) who sexually assaulted another friend (girl), there were a lot of witnesses, but the guy...

Yeah, the way I used weakness in the previous posts is probably a retrojection. A better summary might be that targets are contemptible. Or perhaps th...

Hm. I suppose this is part of blaming the victim for how they're treated. Responsibility's absolved from me because they deserve it, or are somehow as...

We can decide what things are, in some sense, but that doesn't mean reality has to care about the decision. This is the old separation between thought...

More succinctly, what is irreconcilable can be bracketed, or used as inspiration for mutual growth and development of intimacy. The latter strategy is...

If agreeing to disagree becomes the middle ground mutually and easily, it's definitely a way of dealing with the conflict that preserves both people w...

I tried to write a parody erotic fanfic of a forbidden romance between a Shoggoth and a Night Gaunt at one point. It was quite difficult to make the i...

I don't think this is always the solution. If it can be the solution, generally the stakes are very low. Like professional tolerance of coworkers, or ...

I don't see anything to disagree with. It doesn't really address the points of difference between ribbing and long term abuse or bullying, or being ch...

I think this is a function of your stance towards the thread more than anything. It is a very unusual thread, a nauseating psychological hall of mirro...

I imagine we're making much the same point in different vocabularies. You're emphasising the adaptability of roles, I'm emphasising the adaptability o...

I'm not sure that having reflexively assumed roles is usually a good thing in relationships. If both people know what's going on and are OK with it, s...

Do you think humour is necessarily part of mutual amusement and play? I'm not sure this is right, it seems broader to me. Mockery and rebuking are hum...

I'm down with that, so long as the roles are kept as transitory states which are adopted and not permanent mental archetypes. Someone can be an 'adult...

The games make sense without much of the theoretical background. Adult/child don't have to be interpreted as features of the psyche with a rich struct...

You're not going to find a cure for depression in a book. You're not really going to find a cure for depression anywhere except in practicing better c...

Eh. I imagine using philosophy to find things out about stuff is precisely what Laruelle intends by a transcendental stance towards philosophy. Treat ...
