From the people I met at school and worked with since then, the really talented folks who want to make video games _really_ want to make video games. This leads to a fairly natural goal of wanting to set up their own game shops rather than

For some definitions of attention, yes, but not necessarily historically massive amounts of physical contact and (non -neurotic) care. Think of the images from the world over of indigenous women going about their days largely with their you

I think once the idea of heteronormativity had percolated through all of society as a well understood concept, it would no longer be as pressing a concern. These concepts tend to be in vogue specifically because they are salient. It is int

Nobody in this thread said that taking it to dance all night is abuse; dance can be amazingly cathartic. I've known people who did it nearly daily for long stretches, and others who would only take it once a month and take Prozac after

That one was still (co-)written by Hayao, and the writing / story composition is definitely what makes that film so strong.

Here's an analogy: the year is 1950. I bought a car and a radio is built in. But I didn't pay the extra radio fee, so a wire is intentionally left out and the radio does not work. But the car is mine--I could choose to scrap it

They go on missions, very frequently outside of America, as a standard part of their early adult life. Learning the local language is pretty much a requirement.

Sure it is. Nothing in the word "lightweight" implies stellar graphics. If anything, it implies that heavy and nonessential things (like cutting-edge graphics) are totally out of scope.

Writing a convincing email is one of the more time-consuming parts of a spearphishing attack. Any competent cybercriminal would have their own script that finds a closest-available match to the actual CEO's email and use that. If the

Yes, but that comes at the expense of the biodiversity that existed before the California Aqueduct did. The Central Valley was once a massive seasonal wetland that supported millions if not billions of migratory waterfowl, to say nothing o

That's interesting--it's certainly plausible, even probable, sense that good diet is necessary but not sufficient to ensure that the microbiome is in a personally-optimal state. Please give a citation if you can!

I've seen the movie and enjoyed it but probably some of its depth was lost on me. What stays with you from the breakdown your teacher gave?

An oddly prescient (though much less nuanced) version of a similar concept is in Rollerball (1975): https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/720ad4a5-5a51-4b97-b521-2a1d1fa...

Yeah, that was also a massive red flag once I got to it, but I wanted to give a more considered critique.

Thanks for sharing that reference. I started out being intrigued, but he totally lost me with some pretty unsubstantiated absolutist statements, e.g. "anyone smart and independent-minded will have views on race and sex well outside th

It's boundary-pushing. They're unmanned and ambient, yet are clearly a provocation and give China an information advantage over where it would be without the balloons, and in a geopolitical sense it asserts Chinese ascendency. At

@dang have you had a chance to review the dupe flag? This was on the top of the front page then got flagged, and given the subject matter it smells of intentional obfuscation.

I think this argument presupposes that biological life had found some healthy, deathless equilibrium; it's hard to imagine what that would look like, since we what we have is a system where death is a vital part of all that we see--it

Or, "illegal immigrant" is a sometimes-used dysphemism for "undocumented immigrant". I'm not aware of any other class of people who break a law who are called "illegal" as a result; it's a rather deh

I'm not a practitioner of Wim Hof's methods, but what was implemented in the paper is definitely not Wim Hof breathing. The paper describes 30x breaths with the inhale twice as long as the exhale, and a 15 second hold on the final

One of the stranger things coming out of the collapse of FTX is that it wasn't _all_ a scam; if SBF and co they had simply let FTX function without giving special privileges to Alameda, it would have been a pretty non-scammy crypto exc
