Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

It's only a paradox if you're a mentally handicapped bigot. It makes perfect sense to everyone else.
It's formally designated as a paradox because of the way it is originally worded. Those who you mention will abuse it to make it non-logical andnnon-sensic; those who understand realize it is formally a paradox but to all practical matters it is a contract, as we have expressed here.
Who's in charge of formally designating paradoxes?
A paradox doesn't need a body of certification.
It's far from a formal system, but here's a video I like that this thread reminded me of: "the five kinds of paradox"
Or you could be like the teacher in the post, who loves the concept but never happened to think of it...
Nah, I don't need to think about it. It's an astoundingly easy concept to grasp. And it's not a paradox unless you're a pedantic knob. In a civilized society, you don't tolerate outright hatred. Very very very simple. I don't care if Nazis and bigots and transphobes don't understand, because I don't respect them.
