I assumed that’s what /j meant, was I wrong? I assume way too much

But the shareholders already reinvested so much in the shitty office spaces for their excessive tax write-offs! /j

That’s enough lemmy today😮‍💨

Should be close to 100 trillion by the end of the decade at this rate

What? It’s just a bunch of scripts, nobody actually does that

I have been taking the wrong approach with beginners telling them gentoo is the endgame, but I have seen the light and can only say thank you for showing me the way

Install gentoo

Was really hoping for a finale for some reason…

But then I’ll miss it … That thing I’m actually looking for … Wait I’m fookin 40 and already looked for decades now😞

If you point me toward the wiki, I’ll read it, but am curious how you learned

Need a wheelbarrow for those

I see enjoyment (jouissance) as a built-in surplus that pushes past satisfaction into something often painful or compulsive. Ideology hides this excess by promising straightforward fulfillment, but that promise produces the very leftover enjoyment it denies. The subject thinks it wants a clear goal, while an unconscious drive seeks the surplus; culture can redirect this surplus (sublimation) or it returns as symptoms (addiction, shame). So enjoyment isn’t just pleasure — it’s the extra push that both sustains desire and disrupts meaning.

You saying no such thing is a misunderstanding. Žižek links this surplus to the paradox that prohibiting pleasure produces a new form of enjoyment — the pleasure of prohibition. The ban sets up a forbidden object that becomes more desirable; the surplus (jouissance) then migrates into transgression or guilt, so prohibition itself generates the very enjoyment it aims to stop.

I’m curious to know specifically how this was experienced as offending

Are you familiar with ‘jouissance’?

The drive continues past satisfaction into compulsion.

Pleasure is mixed with pain, shame, or guilt during/after the act.

It’s symbolic. Eating can act like a shortcut for dealing with other feelings or wants — it fills a need that words or thinking don’t fix.

you don’t believe in any of the supernatural stuff

Correct. It feels beyond a little silly to pretend there is any kind of entity in control or overlooking the unfolding of events that is reality or what we mean by reality. I will admit, the ‘god in process’ theories are fun and maybe insightful to some degree but nothing worth putting faith in just yet.

are just about the better teachings of Jesus? Aka a Jefferson bible take?

I’ve heard of this, but I just now researched it. Seems interesting, but it is certainly not what I’m speaking to at all afaict

And yet they persist, so it’s almost like it’s not quite that simple either, eh? Funny how the devil stays in the details, no matter which side you lean

Am a Christian atheist ftr–just feels bad to see so many accept convenient lies over the honest truths of a worthwhile series of stories (wether they factually happened is of little to no value in the pursuit of truth, no?)

There are more than a few disrespectful answers here, but if any of these ppl talked to someone who honestly believed, they’d be more inclined to tell you to investigate the new covenant

I can understand being hopeful for something greater taking it’s place post-collapse, but why wish a downfall for an entire team of humans that feel pain just as much as you and I?

I somehow added an i there and was a little too excited to comment ‘Yes, who doesn’t love trains!?!?’

Just thought I’d let you know that I’ll let you know when I have an update…none right now, but I wanted to update you that you have no updates at this time
