Can you call yourself a coward simply because the courage of others seems to you out of proportion to the triviality of the occasion? Thus wisdom creates cowards. And thus you miss Opportunity while spending your life on the lookout for it.

I'm interested in the point you make about being taught it was about original sin, can you expand a bit on that? Asking because to me it has always been a book about the evil of power and its triviality (how it can arise in every society)

“Triviality is evil — triviality, that is, in the form of consciousness and mind that adapts itself to the world as it is, that obeys the principle of inertia. And this principle of inertia truly is what is radically evil.”

Like I sort of have to make the inference that this is an absolute triviality; if this were a well-known public community it would be named, and if a meaningful number of people were involved you’d expect a line like “dozens/hundreds/thousands of users voted against the bot in an informal poll”

A last, long, cool formality at dawn on the morning of a day that should never have come. Our lips pressing. A triviality. Or a tear. Somewhere. Or a smile. Our lapse of a #memory dreaming to return, and no, it doesn’t really matter if none of that ever really happened somewhere, does it?

Without doubt the best thing that will happen today. The sheer power even when discoursing on a triviality.

It feels gross to share and promote our show… it’s about nothing. It’s hard to encourage triviality when a lot of people are really struggling. Yet, we made it, we have a release schedule, so if you want to hear about horses and to listen to our new game, we’ve got you.
We will prevail, y’all.

smtv vengeance - realizing my big issues with smtv are more about the triviality of dampeners and the build-a-demon fusion systems. like the old story, the new storyline seems to be leading to an interesting conclusion but burns out at the start of the third act. definitely an improvement but eh

People need to relax. At worst this ad deserves...passionate indifference. Weird the level of triviality that earns outrage these days.

Maybe because I’ve been reading this recently, but I’m rubbed the wrong way by any implication that the pencil is a triviality you could easily do without, or limit yourself to two.

The point which matters is we seem to not care what words mean, it is unserious and reflects a growing triviality. A skulker makes you weep with frustration, wing flicking groups of Dunnocks do not, Radde's Warblers and others do.

I love the huge disconnect between the triviality of the subject of Wikipedia's bubble gum entry and the extremely technical description of its mechanical properties. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_...
![The linear viscoelastic (LVE) property can be probed on pre-shaped gum cuds through a small isothermal strain deformation (i.e., below yield strain) under small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS).[3] Here the critical yield strain is defined as the modulus deviating about 10% from its initial value. Under it, gum cuds show elastic deformation that follows power-law behavior as a critical gel in the linear regime; otherwise, exhibiting nonlinear responses with increasing shear stress (plasticity). Normally, this yield strain is less than 1%.[3]
Regarding plastic deformation, the nonlinear viscoelasticity can be explored through shear creep experiments (relaxation time) and the start-up of steady shear stress-controlled uniaxial/biaxial extension. The former demonstrates that fractional recovery, defined as the ratio between measured strain after deformation and recovered strain without adding shear stress, for chewing gums under moderate shear stress (~ 1000 Pa) is between 25% and 40%.[3] This](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7vmqlqtvqkkmuegzp7efeptu/bafkreic4p75hvagw6q6lssydm7b2pqr3fboneiwklcak47vj7xs73lw4dy@jpeg)
