Seems like a pretty reasonable semantic shift to me.

We have will, it just isn't perfectly free. Our consciousness emerges out of a confluence of intersecting forces, and itself has the ability to influence the flows around it. But to pretend it's removed from those flows and forces, or exists in some vacuum, is nonsensical, as is pretending that there isn't some essence behind the signifier "self".

perfection

Wait can you just leave the space between studs empty then?

Paywalled and not worth the 5 seconds it would take to bypass it, but did they at least mention the safe alternative: soaking?

I just don't like them as signifiers in general, personally. They're shorthand for something but what that something is isn't clear to the listener nor even the speaker.

It's not something I'd nitpick in general, and the examples you gave are harmless. But at best they're not very imaginitive or interesting descriptors, and at worst they're thought-limiting and tend to perpetuate dominant norms.

First they came for the White Nationalists

And I did not speak out

Because it was based

Then they came for the pro-Whites

And I did not speak out

Because it was based

Then they came for the pro-Western Culturists

And I did not speak out

Because it was based

Then they came for the anti-Marxists

And I did not speak out

Because it was based

Then they came for the Christians

And I did not speak out

Because it was based

Then they came for the Whites

And I did not speak out

Because it was based

Then I still did not speak out

Because there was no one left

to come after me

This is great! bookmarked, thanks!
