The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[waif]

Just read Les Justes (The Just Ones) by Albert Camus for my political theory course. Came across this quote:

"Imagine God without the prisons. What solitude!"

Thought it was interesting.
Intended to get drunk tonight, but people flaked. Hate that. Probably won't get drunk next weekend because Skyrim comes out Friday and that's pretty much the end of me interacting with people for the next month or so.

What else do you have to read for that class? I'm taking it as well, currently on some of John Locke's work.

How, in any way, was what I posted insulting to any non-whores?

It wasn't. But whores are real women too, and should not be looked down on just because of their profession.

Gonna go party with Mitch Harris (of Napalm Death etc) later... Had no idea he lived in Vegas

"profession"

 

[Mort Divine]

Despite me feeling it should be legal, it is not a profession.

Become a drummer. Then finding a band is easy as shit. It's like saying you're a girl on WoW.

Pretty much.

I know like 2 drummers. My brother was picking up the drums quite quickly, but then he stopped playing and decided to join the marines. I can keep rhythm, but I have less of an intrest in learning the drums than I probably should.

We've read Plato, Sophocles, Seiyes, Wolff, Thoreau, Locke, Rousseau, Kagan, Machiavelli, Sartre, and now Camus. Later we'll be reading Franz Fanon, Ghandi, and MLK.

The overall focus of the class is on the moral basis of political authority, and on what constitutes a legitimate exercise of power, if anything. So far I'm really enjoying it, but right now I'm reading about 100 pages from Normative Ethics by Kagan and it's some fucking dense stuff. Makes a lot of sense, just very slow going.

This winter should determine if I have SAD or not.
So far so good

That class sounds awesome, Joe.

Lucky. I gots none.

I have a question for the forum that may make me come off as a bit spoiled/immature, but I have to ask it regardless. How do you deal with having a full-time job? Doing the same thing for many hours straight just wrecks me, even if it's something I enjoy. I was hoping I could get some tips for coping with a long work day seeing as for the next couple months I plan on having a full-time job.

 

[Pessimism]

Get two part time jobs, problem solved.

 

[Vimana]

Hm. Good idea.

 

[Pessimism]

It's actually a pretty terrible idea.

Yeah, it's pretty clutch. I'm enjoying most of my classes this year. All except the mandatory French as a Second Language course, which is bollocks.

I can save you some time. There is none.

I knew you'd say that. But what is your view on theories like Rousseau's social contract?
