Yes and no. As with most things, it’s more complicated than that. While it’s true that not many philosophers would claim to be “pure” nihilists, instead opting to qualify their position, there are nihilists who do have a very doomer outlook so to speak.

This is why in the article you linked, nihilism is qualified as “optimistic”. This kind of nihilism is often associated with Nietzsche and later as your article mentioned, Sartre. Though I’m not sure Sartre would say he was a nihilist; Sartre was a huge figure for the existentialists. However, the two movements have a lot in common and one could argue that optimistic nihilism and existentialism are close enough to be considered the same thing. I am aware of some scholars who consider, for example, Nietzsche to be an early existentialist. It must be noted, however, that the optimistic qualification is of utmost importance. Nihilism says flatly that there is no meaning, existentialism says that we are able to decide what is meaningful.

Anyway, this is all to say that Nihilism (with a capital N) is a pretty pessimistic and “doomer” idea to have. Nietzsche himself argued that the solution to nihilism was to destroy all interpretations of the world so that we can start from zero and hopefully realize some actual meaning. Perhaps my understanding of doomer is wrong, but from where I’m standing, nihilism and doomerism are pretty much the same thing. Different flavours of nihilism will produce different conclusions about this connection.

I think everyone should probably read The Second Amendment: A Biography by Michael Waldman

Gratuitous can be used to mean the same thing, but English speakers also use gratis

Yeah I regrettably* bought a year’s subscription to Peacock and was also pleasantly surprised that my PiHole just blocked all the ads.

*This was when they were offering a year for 20 USD. They had advertised world cup streaming but neglected to mention that all the commentary was in Spanish with no English option. I ended up just streaming a Swiss TV channel because it was at least in a language I can understand.

The other day I was reading some GitHub issues involving an issue I was also having and the maintainer of the project was directing people to their discord server to talk about and hopefully resolve the issue. On top of that, they came back to the GitHub issue and just posted that after some discussion (on Discord) the issue had been resolved. Totally useless to me and anybody else who might be searching for that thing.

ProtonVPN?

Pivpn was discontinued just a heads up. I switched to just plain wireguard when I heard the news.

To be fair, no one has

Idk why you’re downvoted for this. I’d also like to see split tabs in firefox. I do research/writing for a living and having both open in one window would be nice.

True, but as I understand it, this is sorta surprising because he has been more supportive of the LGBT community than his predecessors and subordinates

But no p2p on free. Honestly, OP, for this one you may just have to drop some cash on a reputable VPN

It’s the opposite… It will run on about anything

Can’t you download those pictures locally? It would be good practice anyway to not rely on Facebook of all places to host your beloved photos indefinitely

Get your head out of the gutter. There is a difference between file and philia, the former being something managed by this program and the latter being Greek for “love”. Further, the phil- prefix/suffix is used in many words which don’t mean what you seem to associate it with. Take philosophy for example—the love of wisdom.

What’s wrong with it?
