Another piece of the puzzle to add to what you've said, is the feeling of helplessness/hopelessness that can get locked in at a young age. When I was growing up, there were a lot of kids that didn't view their future with any

Can I recommend some of the ninja machines? I have the dual brew one which supports kcups but the machine itself doesn’t give a hoot if you use branded kcups or reusable cups. And it can brew regular coffee as well. The one thing I like abo

There’s also Phasmophobia, a ghost-hunting game that supports VR. You can play with people without them needing a VR headset. It’s also one of those types of games that’s completely different in VR than regular desktop. Without VR, it’s a f

Back in the olden days when you got a crisp bill and saved it specifically in case you needed to get something from a vending machine later on. Those were good days! I don't think I've carried cash for many years now. Was kind of

I had lunch with a crow once in downtown Austin at one of those outside eating tables. I sat down with some pizza and saw the crow standing by, likely waiting for me to finish and throw away whatever I didn't eat. I figured it'd b

Food will be automated. A lot of it is automated even today. Robots that will till the soil, manage nutrients, plant the seeds, water the plants, and pick the crops. It’ll even be done without pesticides, as robots with vision and plant det

IMO it’s impossible with the idea that survival=work. It’s evident here, with people desperately fighting against AI art because it’ll take away people’s jobs. It’s not even just that, though. It’s also the belief that AI art takes away fro

I hear more sadness in your words that are stuck on the idea of having to compete. The idea is to escape that and make exploiting people not an option. If you feel evil and competition for survival is what defines humans, that’s truly sad.

What’re you doing on the internet? No other living thing on this planet spends time on the internet. Or maybe we shouldn’t be copying things from nature just because. Also kinda curious how you deal with people that have disabilities and ca

Humans have existed for close to 200,000 years. Who we ‘are’ is nothing close to what we have today. What humans actually are is an invasive species capable of subjugating nature to fit its needs. I want to just push that further and subjug

The ideal situation is that nobody pays for it. Picture a scenario where the vast majority of resource gathering, manufacturing, and production are all automated. Programmers are out of a job, factory workers are out of a job, miners are ou

What role exactly is it going to take? The role we currently have, where the vast majority of people do work not because they particularly enjoy it but because they’re forced to in order to survive? That’s really what we’re protecting here?

They have SBF’s own idiot mouth as evidence when he claimed, multiple times, that Alameda was created first, got its bank account, and FTX used that Alameda bank account when FTX was created. He alludes to it here: https://youtu.

Spotify's biggest issue for me has been their insistence on a terrible Desktop UI. It used to be that Spotify allowed you to resize column widths but they removed it ages ago. Like around 2013-2015. And it's a feature that's

It’s really not a big deal! It might work itself out over time but you can get one of those ear wax cleaning kits. In my uneducated experience, the formulation they come with doesn’t help a whole ton, but the key part is the rubber bulb you

I stopped using q-tips because after like 20-something years of using q-tips safely, it took one bad left-handed cleaning job to hurt my ear. I think I mostly got lucky. I went in too far with my non-dominant hand and caused some sharp pain
