Determinist

...i have no idea what that means

Hmm:

#

Aquinas (1225 or '27-1274)

# All life has a purpose

# Meeting this purpose allows one to be happy.

# Happiness is to be found in the love of God.

# God's grace providing entrance into heaven creates the highest form of human happiness.

# Short of heaven, a person can achieve a more limited form of happiness through a life of virtue and friendship.

# Morality is not determined by the arbitrary will of God.

# Morality is derived from human nature and the activities that are objectively suited to it.

# The difference between right and wrong can be appreciated through the use of reason and reflection.

# Religious reflection may supplement the use of reason and reflection to determine right from wrong.

# Societies must enact laws to ensure the correct application of moral reasoning.

# Human nature is good because God made it good.

#

Augustine (354-430)

# Happiness is a union of the soul with God after one has died

# Bodily pleasures are relatively inferior to spiritual pleasures.

# Philosophical reasoning is not the path to wisdom and happiness.

# A love of God and faith in Jesus is the only path to happiness.

# God is the one to allow people to practice the love of God.

# One must love God in order to fulfill moral law.

# People are inherently evil; only the grace of God (or is it merit to be saved?) can save them.

I dont believe all this bull****

Stoicism

# The common capacity to reason allows all humans to achieve virtue and wisdom.

# The external circumstances of a person's life are irrelevant.

# One can achieve virtue by becoming indifferent to external differences.

# Passions must be rejected all together in deciding what is good and what is bad.

# Reason alone must be used in deciding what is good and what is bad.

# The common ability of humans to reason is why ethical relativism should be rejected.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies
    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
