Aha yes, in America it's often referred to as "Keeping up with the Joneses" I'm curious about your phrasing, however. In your view, is a middle class approach to life a life that simply conforms to the predictions of mim

One of the most interesting things you can ask in a store with high-end clothing is "Which of your items are most likely to last a hundred years?" There's a special joy that arises between you and the shopkeeper as the veil o

Have you encountered mimetic theory? It's worth a read if you haven't yet. To boil it down: we measure ourselves by the people around us, and the more homogenous the peer group, the greater the pressure on each individual. We&#x27

Please don't hate yourself. Do you think the lie-flat seats bring joy? Do you know the plane's destination? In this example, I'd rather be the guy who skipped the airport and went fishing. If anything, you have a head start o

I think by NPC the parent meant a total lack of agency/mobility, perhaps comparable to feudal serfdom. Sure, you have a means of sustaining yourself, but if any job you can take or business you can create all involve a kickback to a mo

Remember, this footage was created using silent-era film equipment over a hundred years ago. Much of the footage used in the film is borderline unwatchable without the post-processing used: hand-crank cameras meant wildly variable framerate

I own an old guitar primer book that includes one of these flexi-discs, with the edges clearly cut with scissors a long time ago. Still haven't tried it yet, but maybe I'll pop it in tonight.

Thank you. One way I look at it is, imagine working for somebody who pays you in political campaign donations to causes of your choice, then takes the rest of the money you've made for them and doubles that contribution for the other s

If employees want to influence a company's political stance, then they've already lost, because employees are not shareholders. It's not their call to make. They would have a leg to stand on if they were part of a worker&#x27

My jaw dropped when I read `ad libitum`. The single biggest impact that restricting the number of meals had for me was to decrease my appetite and increase my resilience to a baseline level of hunger. Telling chronically overweight/obe
