I’m of Asian descent. I was raised in a white community and don’t know much about Asian culture. I am ethnically Asian, but if you were to try to infer things about me through an Asian cultural lens you would largely be incorrect. American

I’m probably autistic. That is, pretty noticeably hitting all of the checkboxes on the typical aspie profile but not quite to an extent that anybody who isn’t explicitly looking for such things wouldn’t write off as being eclectic; dare I s

I went to a private mid tier university. I was on a mostly full ride mind you. imo the reason to go to such a place is the lifestyle. The opportunity to make some friends as an adult while you still have a hefty amount of time for leisure;

If you’re ok with just dying when life is no longer pleasant it’s not that bad.

I don’t know anyone under the age of 30 with a dedicated machine to play the discs. Maybe some of the game consoles can do this. But seeing shelves of movies and shows on a rack feels super outdated to me. A lot of these things feel like st

> That one-quarter of Medicare spending in the United States occurs in the last year of life is commonly interpreted as waste. This is the issue this paragraph is dedicated to refuting. But this thread is not about this issue. So it’s la

I find it really irritating when people imply that a lack of belief in spiritual nonsense demands that they must think of things, like death, in a particular way. You die, you’re gone, and that’s fine. It does not need to be spectacular. Im

I feel you’re wrong on two directions. Sure, most people who die weren’t obviously on end of life. But those people tend not to be the ones with high end of life costs. The high cost is due to their circumstances, not the label. Second, the

The vast majority of cases are mild, yes. This doesn’t change the fact that Ionnadis’ predictions of the severity of the pandemic were off by a factor of x100. Here is a pretty good recap of his blundering walk through covid https:/&

I think this is not worth engaging in any further. I don’t respect your perspectives. I’ll leave it at that.

If anyone’s curious that isn’t actually true. Piglet is derived from pig by assigning the suffix of -let to imply it’s smaller. https://www.etymonline.com/word/piglet

By posting that you have discriminated against my religious beliefs. So you’re just as bad as an offender. So it’s really a moot point.

Professor ioannidis forecasted 10,000 deaths in the US as a mid range guess of what to expect. He’s not exactly a good appeal to authority.

I would prefer the government was completely indifferent to religious beliefs. Because any belief can be construed as religious if you’re willing to take the position that religion is stupid and you don’t care about optics. So yeah, I would

In my experience you can almost always do much better buying a full computer on a good sale than buying components and building it yourself.

Style is entirely subjective and impossible to define. Van Gogh had a style. Are we going to say that we would want a society where only Van Gogh is allowed to make Impressionist paintings? Who decides if your painting is similar enough to

Epic Games gives a free game every single week and has done so for the past couple years at least. Many of these are fairly big titles. Around Christmas they have done a free game every day. They’re very pro indie dev on the unreal side. I

ISS Vanguard! The UX of the game is wonderful given how ambitious it is. I wanted to like Gloomhaven but it’s terrible setup time and complexity made that impossible. ISS Vanguard is the best giant coop thing. Digital gloomhaven is good.

Sure, it’s a scam. But the pegs are easily observed to be holding at the moment. There is no doubt about this. One’s beliefs need not detract from basic reading comprehension.

You’re still wrong though. Do these companies likely have reserves to back their coins? No. Are the pegs currently holding just fine? Yes. Will the pegs fall at some point in the future? Maybe? Hopefully? But this statement is irrelevant to
