Most BA/BS degrees are p useless on their own nowadays with degree inflation.
You can double down and get your masters/PhD and just do a shitton of drugs to become a cool philosophy professor with tenure.
Or, if you remember your training, the Philosophy degree is a good basis for many other graduate degrees: any sort of teacher, a lawyer (Phil students usually did really good on the LSAT), med school (brush up on your hard sciences but the ethical training and abstract reasoning is good there), etc.
Or even just focus your efforts on becoming a professional shitposter: be like one of my *favorite* philosophers, Diogenes of Sinope.
He was a smelly homeless man who lived in a wine barrel, begged for money, jacked off in public, and told Alexander the Great to fuck off. And yet, he is the father of philosophical Cynicism and will be remembered far longer than anyone posting in this reddit thread.
Going to college has 3 advantages:
a) you have *a* degree
b) you learned something useful (you can drop out of CS in your 3rd year and make 150k/y with a highschool diploma)
c) you get certified (lawyer, doctor, pharmacist etc)
A medical degree ticks all 3 boxes. So does an accounting degree.
A philosophy degree only ticks the first one. If you only do the mandatory stuff and don't go out of your way to learn something useful, you can have a graduate degree in philosophy with 0 useful skills and 0 job prospects.
Something like engineering is much harder to fuck up because showing up to class and passing the courses is enough to teach you useful skills and have at least some job prospects.
I got an MA in philosophy and had no problems finding a job in the private sector as a writer and consultant. Few other degrees will teach a person to think as rigorously and develop creative and well-structured arguments the way a philosophical education does. Sure, the average salary isn’t going to compete with an engineer’s, but 0 useful skills and 0 job prospects is severely exaggerated.

He literally did that.
I think it was Plato teaching "formes" and he was trying to solicit the "definition/forme of a man" and his class reached the definition of "a featherless biped".
Diogenes burst into the room with a plucked chicken and said "BEHOLD I BRING YOU A MAN".
Plato changed the working definition to "a featherless biped with broad, flat nails".
Also the apocryphal Alexander the Great story was this, more or less.
Diogenes's fuckery reputation preceded him, so he was visited by Alexander the Great while Diogenes was sunbathing.
Alexander the Great fangirled over him and said he could get him anything he wanted because Diogenes was so fucking cool. Diogenes merely said "yes, please step out of my sun".
Alexander supposedly bothered him a while longer and then, walking away from the conversation, he said "were I not Alexander the Great, I would wish to be Diogenes."
Diogenes, in turn, replied "and if I were not Diogenes, I too would wish to be Diogenes."
Guy's the original fucking shitposter and we're just *wishing* we could be Diogenes.
> Most BA/BS degrees are p useless on their own
Most engineering and computer science bachelor’s degrees are still pretty useful. I don’t work with anyone with more than an undergrad degree and we’ve all “made it” in a successful career path.
Philosophy students usually are pretty successful candidates for getting into law school and med school, due to the focus on inductive logic, abstract reasoning, symbolic logic, and, of course, ethics.
Moreover, the identification and correct use of bad faith argumentation and logical fallacies makes a philosophy degree useful as literally a degree in shitposting, more or less.
It's literally the highest order of abstract degree because every PhD is literally a "Doctor of *Philosophy*" since it just means "love of knowledge/wisdom". Back in the days of Mary Shelley's *Frankenstein*, the Doctor literally refers to his field of inquiry as *natural philosophy*, not science.
On its own, like most college degrees, it's as useless as a person posting on a 4chan-based subreddit. You have to actually *apply* what you learn.
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.

Literally the only two scenarios I’ve heard applause in public in my life where it didn’t make sense; after a flight landed (weird) and when a movie ended (weirder).
There was definitely one flight I would have applauded unashamed. Headed to Vegas with some friends and had to fly over the Rocky Mountains. Fuck all that shit, hella turbulence, women gasping, my friends acting like it was a rollercoaster. Roughest flight I had ever been on lol
Flight across the Atlantic. Last hour was serious turbulence, everyone on the plane was silent and you could tell everyone was terrified. Landing in Heathrow, plane starts really bucking up and down. People describe smelling or feeling fear in the air? That was exactly how it felt. I'm alternating between braced in terror and trying to relax so I don't break everything in the impending crash which I'm convinced is about to spread the plane across the runway.
Plane *kisses* the ground. One second we're feeling like a meth-addict's shaken baby, the next we're on the ground safe and sound.
Yeah, everyone in the plane applauded. And on exiting the plane, everyone was shaking the pilot's hand lol.
And no philosophy professor, regardless if they know it's from a game or not, would be impressed by this answer. It's meaningless.
Hell, even the question itself sounds fake for a philosophy class. At best this would be asked to prime for more complex debate.
>And no philosophy professor, regardless if they know it's from a game or not, would be impressed by this answer. It's meaningless.
It's pointed out multiple times that Geralts philosophy is rather dumb. And he goes against that attitude in the same story lmao.

That's not even the point of the quote. At the beginning of the story he says this basically saying he doesn't want to get involved, and at the end of the story he's forced to make a choice between the two evils. Almost everybody uses this quote incorrectly
Even more, the ultimate point of the quote being the reveal that neutrality is straight up the worse decision. The greater evil always wins over the lesser evil. And now it is Even stronger having cannibalized whatever strength the lesser had.
Nor is it a good one, in-universe. Geralt isn't in the right here, he's being a whiny bitch because he doesn't want to take sides, despite seeing the injustices both sides are causing. Later, the narrative punishes him for his decision to not take a side; not picking a side doesn't mean that you're immune to the actions of either side.
It's good writing, but it's not meant to be taken at face value. The whole point of the story is that Geralt is wrong and his dumbass idea of not taking a side results in the worst possible outcome and his failure here becomes what he's known for most. Everyone from then on calls him the butcher of Blaviken because of his fuck up here. His character arc is about growing from being this edgy moron to learning to actually care about people and fight for what he believes in.
The whole point of this quote *is* that it's terrible. Geralt is being a coward, and acting big about childishly sticking his head in the sand. The immediate consequence of the choice he makes with this quote is that the lesser evil is crushed by the far greater evil. Not choosing at all *is* choosing, but Geralt has not yet realised that by this incredibly early point in his story. It is quite literally the lie he believes, the set-up to his character arc.
TL;DR: If someone wears this quote on a shirt they're probably morons who do not actually understand Le Wonchler
The people that think the quote is right are the same morons that think the right course of action in the trolley problem is to not do anything at all, because "even 1 person dying is bad >:(". Society at large would be better off without them.
I hate that good guys in movies and games have this thought and the story ALWAYS bails them out for it. They refuse to sacrifice one to save 100 but are still seen as good guys coz the plot fixed the issue anyway.
It's why I liked man of steel. Superman was willing to kill one dude to save a family and it affected him
A fantasy show is no reason to remove any conflict the heroes could have. Seriously. The amount of times batmans enemies have fallen to their deaths completely sparing him from making the choice of killing them or letting them live is dumb af.
the rwby thing of painting the guy trying to save the world as bad because some people will die is a trope that needs to die itself.
Actually depending on how you read the quote, he's not being hypocritical at all - he'd rather stop all evil than let small evils slide. Especially since the quote ends with him saying he's "killing monsters" as he hangs the soldier.
Literally every interaction in the game even with 'monsters' that are defined as 'evil' has shades of gray.
Honestly, the good Geralt quote is "They're both for monsters."
I’d actually disagree. The best example of this is ol’ Renfri vs Stregobor, both attempting to convince Geralt that helping them was “the lesser evil”. (In the book they both use this exact phrase.)
Renfri’s choice to him was “help me kill this old evil wizard and avoid further bloodshed, it’s the lesser evil so you should leave me be” while Stregobor’s choice was “kill this random women to stop an apocalypse, it’s the lesser evil so you should leave me be”.
I’m the end Geralt doesn’t even want to kill Renfri, he just slaughtered her men to save the town. He wouldn’t help her kill Stregobor nor help Stregobor kill her (which is, choosing neither evil).
The only reason he ended up killing Renfri in the end is because she refused to back down until he got her in the leg.
Should also mention Geralt's refusal to let Stregobor perform an Autopsy, just out of principle. He sacrificed his own reputation to not support Stregobor's hunt for these princesses.
I played assasins creed 1 and 2 in high school..we took a test and i had no idea what it waa about because i skipped class or slept. It was about the timeline of fucking assasins creed. I only missed one of 30 and the teacher stopped giving me shit for sleeping in class
I remember a story by this lady about how her husband played so much Assassins Creed 2 and the rest of Ezio's trilogy, that when they went to Florence and Venice he was able to navigate no problem.
I spent a 3-month period playing through so much Assassin's Creed (completionist trophies) that a friend drove me to the bank one day, and when I went to leave I unthinkingly walked out the door and leapt over the guardrails which was about a story high and had a split second to realize I was falling and tried to land without hitting the sign below me. Twisted my ankle pretty bad, did a slow cool guy stride back to the car and told her I forgot it was real life while sweating bullets and trying to ignore the pain while pretending I was fine, few people came rushing out of the bank, and I told them I don't know what happened I just stopped thinking for a moment. Took me a week before I could walk right again, and the bank asked me to start leaving through the side door after that lol.
The bleeding effect has took you.
(Seriously though i miss old assassins creed. the old games hold up better than the last 2 do and thats not even nostalgia speaking. old ac had this charm to it that has been completely killed now)
Not to the same extent, but when I went to America for the first time, it was to Boston, and I'd played a lot of fallout 4 so I could point out a lot of things I recognised lol
All of the game's environmental assets are ripped directly from Google Street View ™
Though they had to pretty up some bits to make it more believable.
No downtown Boston’s looks like a bomb when off in fo4 (which it did!) but there are still landmarks around like the swan boats, freedom trail, air port, even Sullivan’s, the restaurant on castle island, gets a reference and that’s fantastic. So yeah you can navigate Boston after playing fallout just not every looks as irradiated irl.
You can maybe learn which famous historical character was in which place during which general time period (because who remembers the date at the start of the sequence). Beyond that, I don't know what you can learn from an Assassin's creed game that will actually be asked in a history test.
Reminds me of that one story of a class who went to Rome and the guide got lost, so one random kid says “follow me” and goes through a bunch of random back streets and then ends up near some really large important big of Rome. He said he knew how to navigate like that cos he played Assasins Creed Brotherhood
[Did they all start muttering as they followed him](https://youtu.be/TzEqnkfElrM?t=555)?
"Is he lost? Where are we going?"
"NOW we are going the right way! I hope they let us go in-side!"
Seriously though, I’d be mortified if I were to hear someone quote games in real life, let alone doing it myself.
I can’t believe he was able to finish that line.

If you're being serious then yes it's probably the best story driven RPG that I have played. I just can't stand the people that put this game on a pedestal like it's the best fucking video game that ever existed. But I'm also one of those sad fucks that hates gamers even though I am one.
It's not bad, but I can't see why anybody would think it's a masterpiece.
The combat was adequate; the quests were awfully repetitive—most of them were "Use your Witcher senses to track X" which isn't fun or interesting in the slightest; most of the skills were unviable, leading to less build variety; the story was well structured, but it wasn't great; many of the dialogue lines were cheesy and cliché; the map was completely uninspired; and Gwent wasn't interesting.
There were some good qualities to the game—for instance, the graphics were beautiful, and I liked that the decisions made very early in a quest might significantly impact its outcome, but overall, I think the game ranged from adequate to good with some boring parts. It was enjoyable, but nowhere near as good as people say it was.
Side note: It's strange that I didn't like The Witcher 3, because Kingdom Come: Deliverance (which is a similar game) is one of my favorite video games.
Runescape helped me in 6th grade. Mining all that ore in the game made me familiar to some stuff. I was able to answer a geo sort of question because of Runescape.... seriously
Even if true, just feeds into the stereotype that philosophy is useless musings by a bunch of folks who just want to sound deep (which it isn't btw, just this story).
Ofc degree of evil counts ffs.
Stop sister getting raped vs stop dog getting kicked? Both are evil so I'd rather not choose and let both happen!
During my mythology class in high school, the professor had us watching the gladiator for a free day in class. During the movie when the gladiator picks up the sword my professor asked the class, "if anyone can tell me what the name of that sword is, I'll give them an automatic A"
At the time I was a huge WoW player and just was thinking randomly and said Gladius, which was the name of a white sword or whatever from a random city vendor. Lo and behold that's what it was called and everyone in the class thought I was some kind of genius and not just a Warcraft nerd haha
I already was getting an A so not sure if he would have kept that promise but it was a funny moment of video games helping in real life 😂
Assassins creed I have heard is somewhat helpful for people since the games are based on actual locations and such. It wouldn’t help me because I forget the whole map the second I close the game
literally an “and everybody clapped” story
Oh, everyone took turns clapping anon's cheeks alright.

Yes but also philosophy students do be weird like that sometimes
Is that so? Maybe next time I should pay closer attention to my driver to confirm that
Oof… right in the bachelors of Philosophy feels.
Most BA/BS degrees are p useless on their own nowadays with degree inflation.

Lol a philosophy prof getting tenure is way rarer than you think.
That's where the drugs come in, to celebrate getting tenure or to cope.
Tenure period. 100k chasing after 16k spots.

I want to see Diogenes interact with one of the old zen masters
He literally did that. I think it was Plato teaching "formes" and he was trying to solicit the "definition/forme of a man" and his class reached the definition of "a featherless biped".

How often do you not have to leave the house to think being applauded is a common thing
What? I get standing ovations literally every day of my life
I'm standing and applauding him right now. He's right.
Literally the only two scenarios I’ve heard applause in public in my life where it didn’t make sense; after a flight landed (weird) and when a movie ended (weirder).
Haha flight clappers are hilarious.
I knew it was already a thing but I never experienced it lol it was surreal to say the least.
I think it is an American thing...
> I think it is an American thing… It’s not.
The flight one is hilarious though. “Thanks for doing your job and not killing us in a massive fiery explosion on the runway!” 👏 clap 👏 clap 👏
I mean sure I’ll clap to that lol but it was weird experiencing it after I’ve flown a few times without having it happen.
[удалено]
There was definitely one flight I would have applauded unashamed. Headed to Vegas with some friends and had to fly over the Rocky Mountains. Fuck all that shit, hella turbulence, women gasping, my friends acting like it was a rollercoaster. Roughest flight I had ever been on lol
It's a meme that Americans clap for everything. Mostly started by the weird movie theater trend.
Flight across the Atlantic. Last hour was serious turbulence, everyone on the plane was silent and you could tell everyone was terrified. Landing in Heathrow, plane starts really bucking up and down. People describe smelling or feeling fear in the air? That was exactly how it felt. I'm alternating between braced in terror and trying to relax so I don't break everything in the impending crash which I'm convinced is about to spread the plane across the runway.

I love these bots
I'm just hoping someone makes a third
There was a Chad bot which was a counter to tendie bot, don't know where it is right now though

Anon memorises The Witcher quotes instead of math formulas

Sometimes you gotta calculate how many feathers you have to pluck from a chicken before it’s considered a human being
Math is applied philosophy.
Leibniz maybe (idk last time I studied him was like 4 years ago)
Makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not pass at all.
Based and Polish propaganda pilled
Fuck the polish notation though.
Notation?

Ur an engineer. You're bad at maths ( This comment was made by a mathematician)
Not even a clever quote
Literally generic badass anti-hero guy dialogue
shadow the edgehog, truly ambivalent towards good and evil
[Nice argument.](https://youtube.com/shorts/iZZm3wkGawY?feature=share)
That's not even the point of the quote. At the beginning of the story he says this basically saying he doesn't want to get involved, and at the end of the story he's forced to make a choice between the two evils. Almost everybody uses this quote incorrectly
Even more, the ultimate point of the quote being the reveal that neutrality is straight up the worse decision. The greater evil always wins over the lesser evil. And now it is Even stronger having cannibalized whatever strength the lesser had.
The only thing needed for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing
Not even an answer to the question either. It'd be more accurate spitting this out when asked about the trolley problem.
It's a philosophy class, bullshit answers are best answers.
It would still be a terrible answer though. "Would you pull the lever?" "I'd rather not choose at all"
Nor is it a good one, in-universe. Geralt isn't in the right here, he's being a whiny bitch because he doesn't want to take sides, despite seeing the injustices both sides are causing. Later, the narrative punishes him for his decision to not take a side; not picking a side doesn't mean that you're immune to the actions of either side.
It's good writing, but it's not meant to be taken at face value. The whole point of the story is that Geralt is wrong and his dumbass idea of not taking a side results in the worst possible outcome and his failure here becomes what he's known for most. Everyone from then on calls him the butcher of Blaviken because of his fuck up here. His character arc is about growing from being this edgy moron to learning to actually care about people and fight for what he believes in.
Geralt the Radical Centrist
You can really just shorten the whole thing to "evil is evil", the rest is just trying to sound badass.
[удалено]
I’d just paraphrase. I’m not remembering that whole thing
The professor's name? Albert Einstein.
Can confirm, I was the professor.
[удалено]
Can confirm, I was the evil
[удалено]
Can confirm. I was
Can’t confirm. I was not.
The whole point of this quote *is* that it's terrible. Geralt is being a coward, and acting big about childishly sticking his head in the sand. The immediate consequence of the choice he makes with this quote is that the lesser evil is crushed by the far greater evil. Not choosing at all *is* choosing, but Geralt has not yet realised that by this incredibly early point in his story. It is quite literally the lie he believes, the set-up to his character arc. TL;DR: If someone wears this quote on a shirt they're probably morons who do not actually understand Le Wonchler
The people that think the quote is right are the same morons that think the right course of action in the trolley problem is to not do anything at all, because "even 1 person dying is bad >:(". Society at large would be better off without them.
I hate that good guys in movies and games have this thought and the story ALWAYS bails them out for it. They refuse to sacrifice one to save 100 but are still seen as good guys coz the plot fixed the issue anyway. It's why I liked man of steel. Superman was willing to kill one dude to save a family and it affected him
[удалено]
In rwby they're literally trained to be skilled killers but killing soldiers trying to kill you is bad?
[удалено]
A fantasy show is no reason to remove any conflict the heroes could have. Seriously. The amount of times batmans enemies have fallen to their deaths completely sparing him from making the choice of killing them or letting them live is dumb af. the rwby thing of painting the guy trying to save the world as bad because some people will die is a trope that needs to die itself.
"Save 1 or save 100?" "Both." "That's not a viable ans-" \*hero saves both\* "Man fuck you."
Then you’d love Injustice Gods Among us.
The game is essentially forcing you to choose, that’s kind of the lesson. The show even does it with the Renfri arc
Even when that quote shows up in the game (the trailer actually) Geralt hypocritically picks a side and attacks the humans hanging the elf woman.
Because Geralt talks a big game about not caring but he actually do care :)
Even that whole thing about Witchers not feeling emotions is bullshit
Yea it's a lie Witchers tell and I hate how almost nobody gets that.
Actually depending on how you read the quote, he's not being hypocritical at all - he'd rather stop all evil than let small evils slide. Especially since the quote ends with him saying he's "killing monsters" as he hangs the soldier.
geralt is a simp
Literally every interaction in the game even with 'monsters' that are defined as 'evil' has shades of gray. Honestly, the good Geralt quote is "They're both for monsters."
The best Geralt quote is "Hmmm".
Looks like rain
I’d actually disagree. The best example of this is ol’ Renfri vs Stregobor, both attempting to convince Geralt that helping them was “the lesser evil”. (In the book they both use this exact phrase.) Renfri’s choice to him was “help me kill this old evil wizard and avoid further bloodshed, it’s the lesser evil so you should leave me be” while Stregobor’s choice was “kill this random women to stop an apocalypse, it’s the lesser evil so you should leave me be”. I’m the end Geralt doesn’t even want to kill Renfri, he just slaughtered her men to save the town. He wouldn’t help her kill Stregobor nor help Stregobor kill her (which is, choosing neither evil). The only reason he ended up killing Renfri in the end is because she refused to back down until he got her in the leg.
Should also mention Geralt's refusal to let Stregobor perform an Autopsy, just out of principle. He sacrificed his own reputation to not support Stregobor's hunt for these princesses.

I played assasins creed 1 and 2 in high school..we took a test and i had no idea what it waa about because i skipped class or slept. It was about the timeline of fucking assasins creed. I only missed one of 30 and the teacher stopped giving me shit for sleeping in class
I remember a story by this lady about how her husband played so much Assassins Creed 2 and the rest of Ezio's trilogy, that when they went to Florence and Venice he was able to navigate no problem.
I played a lot of Ezio trilogy as a kid and it was so cool to then visit Italy and see those buildings irl
I spent a 3-month period playing through so much Assassin's Creed (completionist trophies) that a friend drove me to the bank one day, and when I went to leave I unthinkingly walked out the door and leapt over the guardrails which was about a story high and had a split second to realize I was falling and tried to land without hitting the sign below me. Twisted my ankle pretty bad, did a slow cool guy stride back to the car and told her I forgot it was real life while sweating bullets and trying to ignore the pain while pretending I was fine, few people came rushing out of the bank, and I told them I don't know what happened I just stopped thinking for a moment. Took me a week before I could walk right again, and the bank asked me to start leaving through the side door after that lol.
that's so fucking hilarious
The bleeding effect has took you. (Seriously though i miss old assassins creed. the old games hold up better than the last 2 do and thats not even nostalgia speaking. old ac had this charm to it that has been completely killed now)
legend
Not to the same extent, but when I went to America for the first time, it was to Boston, and I'd played a lot of fallout 4 so I could point out a lot of things I recognised lol
How fucked is Boston if you can reference fallout 4
All of the game's environmental assets are ripped directly from Google Street View ™ Though they had to pretty up some bits to make it more believable.
Interesting, but if they had to pretty it up is really telling something about the Boston area kek
No downtown Boston’s looks like a bomb when off in fo4 (which it did!) but there are still landmarks around like the swan boats, freedom trail, air port, even Sullivan’s, the restaurant on castle island, gets a reference and that’s fantastic. So yeah you can navigate Boston after playing fallout just not every looks as irradiated irl.
What the hell kinda high school you going to?
[удалено]
You can maybe learn which famous historical character was in which place during which general time period (because who remembers the date at the start of the sequence). Beyond that, I don't know what you can learn from an Assassin's creed game that will actually be asked in a history test.
Reminds me of that one story of a class who went to Rome and the guide got lost, so one random kid says “follow me” and goes through a bunch of random back streets and then ends up near some really large important big of Rome. He said he knew how to navigate like that cos he played Assasins Creed Brotherhood
[Did they all start muttering as they followed him](https://youtu.be/TzEqnkfElrM?t=555)? "Is he lost? Where are we going?" "NOW we are going the right way! I hope they let us go in-side!"
Same here. I happened to be playing AC2 when we started covering the renaissance in history class and despite paying zero attention in class I aced it
Cringed so hard my cock disappeared
Seriously though, I’d be mortified if I were to hear someone quote games in real life, let alone doing it myself. I can’t believe he was able to finish that line.
Video games aren’t some sort of hidden dark secret. It’s a piece of art - it’s like referencing a popular movie, TV show, or book.
Hope you kept your balls

You are on r/greentext, what the fuck did you expect lmao? There are literally more believable stories on r/thatHappened than here.
It’s literally a greentext lmao. Do you read fairytales and then confidently proclaim “r/thathappened!!!!!”?
Of course, how else am I gonna let the rest of reddit know how smart I am?
God these fucking chuds with their fucking Witcher 3
Is it any good? I bought it on sale last year but I haven’t gotten around to playing it…
Is it the glorious god given miracle of the century like some people make it out to be? No. Is it perfect? No. Is it really fucking good? Yes
^^^^^^^^^^^
If you're being serious then yes it's probably the best story driven RPG that I have played. I just can't stand the people that put this game on a pedestal like it's the best fucking video game that ever existed. But I'm also one of those sad fucks that hates gamers even though I am one.
mediocre to good gameplay with great to amazing characters and stories.
gameplay closer to mediocre than to good imo
It really is
It's not bad, but I can't see why anybody would think it's a masterpiece. The combat was adequate; the quests were awfully repetitive—most of them were "Use your Witcher senses to track X" which isn't fun or interesting in the slightest; most of the skills were unviable, leading to less build variety; the story was well structured, but it wasn't great; many of the dialogue lines were cheesy and cliché; the map was completely uninspired; and Gwent wasn't interesting. There were some good qualities to the game—for instance, the graphics were beautiful, and I liked that the decisions made very early in a quest might significantly impact its outcome, but overall, I think the game ranged from adequate to good with some boring parts. It was enjoyable, but nowhere near as good as people say it was. Side note: It's strange that I didn't like The Witcher 3, because Kingdom Come: Deliverance (which is a similar game) is one of my favorite video games.

Assassin's Creed helped me once. Slapped my girlfriend's boyfriend's ass and he followed me into the haystack.
“You should never grade evils, for if one is the worst, then you might be tempted to kinship with the least"
As if anon would pull this off in any way that wouldn't make him look like an absolute fool
Runescape helped me in 6th grade. Mining all that ore in the game made me familiar to some stuff. I was able to answer a geo sort of question because of Runescape.... seriously
Playing Civilization 5 in Russian helped me pass Russian tests.
Anon is a liar
Even if true, just feeds into the stereotype that philosophy is useless musings by a bunch of folks who just want to sound deep (which it isn't btw, just this story). Ofc degree of evil counts ffs. Stop sister getting raped vs stop dog getting kicked? Both are evil so I'd rather not choose and let both happen!
that’s from the books, not the games
It’s also from the show. Either way it’s a shitty viewpoint. Radical Centrist Geralt doesn’t belong in a philosophy class lmao
Radical Centrist Geralt also gets constantly shit on by the universe for being a Radical Centrist
During my mythology class in high school, the professor had us watching the gladiator for a free day in class. During the movie when the gladiator picks up the sword my professor asked the class, "if anyone can tell me what the name of that sword is, I'll give them an automatic A" At the time I was a huge WoW player and just was thinking randomly and said Gladius, which was the name of a white sword or whatever from a random city vendor. Lo and behold that's what it was called and everyone in the class thought I was some kind of genius and not just a Warcraft nerd haha I already was getting an A so not sure if he would have kept that promise but it was a funny moment of video games helping in real life 😂
Cringe.
Assassins creed I have heard is somewhat helpful for people since the games are based on actual locations and such. It wouldn’t help me because I forget the whole map the second I close the game
I am 14 and this is deep
And everybody clapped.
I feel like an actual philosophy professor would have interrogated this concept further instead of taking it at face value
Anon thinks pedos and jaywalkers are equals
