... and they were roomates.
In a historical way
Even as early as the greeks they realized what 4chan knows now.
Men make better women than women.
Lol.
If Socrates saw the pedophilia of the rich maybe he'd feel more at home?
My cousin is a trans woman and does better makeup (that eyeliner, damn) than me and it isn't fair. 'Boutta get radicalised up in here.
Trans women aren't men.
Well, yeah haha. She's definitely a better woman than me. :)
The Greeks invented sex,
but the Romans introduced it to women.
A guy came from the future, using time travel technology, and the achievement he touts is simply going to the moon?
What would you tout?
Shin Ramyun instant noodles
The stir fry ones are badass!
Nintendo 64
What's that stuff that can seal water out?
Timetravel
Man, every time one of the comics from this creator gets posted, I have to fight the urge to edit it down. They're good, just overly verbose.
Like this one only needs Panel 1, 3, 5, and the last one for the same message/punchline. Could probably trim further by somehow combining 3 and 5.
I don't get it. Did Socrates discuss gender identity in his works?
I don't get why you think this is about gender identity. But, fighting for truth is fighting for trans rights.
Lol
It's about how the Greeks were super gay. Lots'a gay sex. Hell, the word "Lesbian" is derived from the Greek island of Lesbos.
Dude fucked a lot of dudes.
Socrates was undoubtedly a great thinker and hugely impactful, but the Greeks did not invent science. The scientific method was not explicitly formulated until Ibn al-Haytham published The Book of Optics in 1027 CE, and I'd argue that in the absence of the scientific method, most of the Greek philosophers were basically just arguing in an attempt to sway the audience as opposed to experimenting to find "truth.". The Greeks were one of the first groups to emphasize empiricism, but that a very different thing.
Saying that all of Western thought is based on a single Greek philosopher minimizes the contributions of anyone outside that tradition and I think we can do better than that.
It’s a joke, it’s not meant to be serious philosophical commentary.
That said, I find your comment a bit funny because Socrates’ dialectical method was largely a result of his objection to sophistry. Note that he rarely makes a statement himself, merely challenges those who use oratory techniques to support their claims to know the truth
Xanthippe was likely 40 years his junior... His... second wife.
