Separately I am curious how you are thinking of the pleasurable anger (pleasurable simpliciter/more pleasurable than painful but both exist alongside each other/pleasures and pains sum to the positive/whatever)

Anyway isn't getting kicked in the shins a hedonically valenced experience? And I'm prepared to be convinced that indignation and awe are nonhedonic evaluative emotions (certainly I think nonhedonic evaluative judgments are possible)

But "content" just means "valence of evaluation" here, right? So of course "hedonically neutral anger" is "valenced": it's evaluative!

Find Chalmers's responses confusing bc he just says "I would consider that valenced" but you're asking about varieties of valence and don't seem to be denying that hedonically neutral anger is affective (you call it passionate!). But then you also contrast "valence" and "content"

there is no subtext to this question, which pertains solely to the propriety of asking to eating a stranger's unwanted food, which as even I know would be a terrible way to attempt to ingratiate oneself to a cutie

oh it's far too late

I feel that I would do the same down to thinking about it long after

the former. but that matters not to the likes of me

Obviously, it would be somewhat unusual to volunteer to take it in their stead. But how unusual? Absolutely unthinkable? Or merely strikingly eccentric?

I was actually thinking a bit about "Attempt at Exhausting &c" last night!

the law is real until it gets to SCOTUS at which point it becomes fake, which doesn't bother the six reactionaries at the top but does undermine literally everyone else in the profession

‪RT @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social‬
this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

I guess the better other-medium comparison is: is this as A Fistful of Dollars is to Yojimbo (exact same movie w/ different setting) or is it as any of several Nosferatus is to the others?

@simonandschuster.bsky.social how do you explain this

we regret the noun/verb number agreement issues in this post

(or if not a fairy tale an earlier era of writing when "now I'm going to my version of this well known story" was more common.) one is reminded a bit of Mostly Other People Do the Killing's "Kind of Blue".
