I love this, but Im always confused in these kinds of analogies what the reward / punishment system really equates to... Also reminds me of Ted Chiang warning us that we will torture innumerable AI entities long before we start having

Heck yeah we are. Also wherever your house is and whenever it was built theres a 100% chance it was built on a bugs house and theres definitely a haunted mass grave of insects under and around it.

Wow, the amazon links for the mangas still work and some sections have been updated to include reference to the live action netflix monstrosity (which I sincerely enjoyed). Way to go Emily!

> I don’t think women’s rights should be up for discussion just because some men don’t get laid Excellent quote re incel culture. This is a great piece of writing. It provoked a possibly-random thought. I cant afford to own a home in San

That's a really good question. Is 9/11 a good historical analogy for millennials? Is there something better to relate this to?

You should still probably snag a couple of melon fraps just in case though.

This is a tragic disappointment a lot of (if not most (if not an overwhelming majority (if not literally all))) artists experience at some point early or late in their professional careers. I taught art for a long time and I would always tr

Good share, I had the same feeling visiting Taiwan and then coming back to California. But yeah when I was in LA and had to start going to therapy because the neighbors in our orwellian apartment building were making so much noise I was hav

I agree in part but it doesn't take much design-wise to make them blend in smoothly from what I'm seeing. At least when theres a lot of trees around maybe? Anyway the real postmodern hellscape kinda seems like its the homelessness

When I first moved to Sacramento from LA I saw multiple attempts to build high density housing projects seemingly get delayed by neighbors occupying admittedly beautiful and restrained early-20th century single family homes. Most notably so

I asked bing for you(r friend) and it was generally encouraging. Apprenticeships take four years, you need a HS diploma etc etc. It had a good insight about joining a union as a first step to help find an apprenticeship though. I think I he
