So the unemployment office sent more payments than they should which somehow created a debt to them.

It sounds like you got accidentally sent more money than you were supposed to get and so they want the difference.

I mean...sounds logical to me. Not sure if i'm understanding the issue here. Are you saying that you're not gainfully employed yet and can't pay it back yet? Then i sympathize. But otherwise it sounds like you're justifying yourself on the logic of no-backsies.

Solipsism

(/ˈsɒlɪpsɪzəm/ (About this soundlisten);

from Latin solus, meaning 'alone', and ipse, meaning 'self')[1] is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.

this is false since im suggesting to you that your mind and existence only exist while im just a fragment of your mind

mmm.. nah .. purely nuts if you ask me.

Eternal recurrence is different.
Nietzsche says:


The greatest weight.-- What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!"
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?

I'm not sure if it's what you're talking about but the interface I used to register for a recent cat scan appointment didn't make any sense.

Is there a specific episode you found enlightening or do you tend to watch them all?

I tend to zero in on specific topics that interest me.

Apparently he was on the Daily Show, which is another show I never really watched much of.

Again, I'm not huge on political shows. Lately I do listen to a lot of political podcasts, but a lot of that is more about me just being disgusted with Trump and needing to hear smart people talk about how horrible he is. It's cathartic and informative (though again, biased so you gotta take what such people say with a grain of thought).

Like the Jon Oliver video I posted here, at one point he talks about the exchange between the white guy holding a Confederate flag and a black man I think Oliver's take was a little off the mark.

Not all white people in the South were slaveholders, in fact, most weren't. And the cost of a slave was a big part of that. However, now that I think about it, the Confederate Flag guy kinda admitted in saying that that his family probably WOULD have bought slaves if they COULD afford them, so actually maybe Oliver is right there, though he didn't make his point very clear.

Regardless, no one is right all the time, and everyone tends to cite the facts that support their view and ignore the stuff that doesn't. It's how these things go so you gotta keep your head on a swivel and use your best judgement.

I don't because it seems too over the top for me and I generally do not like to watch political shows in my spare time.

I have watched a little john oliver recently. He has specific topics he takes on and he is pretty smart on it (though biased of course) but his point of view is very helpful at times. I enjoyed this video a lot:

I also liked a more recent one he did on Vote By Mail

Maybe I should check out Patriot Act.

It is kinda weird we got two holes to get rida waste, innit?

pardon me for bringing this dirty question to attention - doesn't noses,ears n mouths create some kind of excrement as well? like wax, boogers n barf?

True. But that waste is more to do with gunk from the holes themselves...dregs of the mucus and such that naturally builds up there from those organs doin' what they're doin'.

But even so, you're right, why so many holes with so much exretion coming out of EVERY single one.

Also, consider that reptiles and birds have one hole that they use both for getting down and for excreting.

Also weird, why men use the same organ they use for getting down that they use for secreting, but women DON'T (unless you count the butt, lol)?

What's going on here?????

It's the government, clearly.
