Hey physics guys. So atoms in metal share electrons. I hear that's like a plasma (floaty electrons, conductive) So is metal a solid plasma?

Ya I was thinking that. I assume that the source is something of quality. I mean what's the point otherwise? It isn't like they're selling it.

Luckily us parrot enthusiasts can get stuff in lossless flac. Sometimes even recorded from vinyl. The straight market is frankly for stockholmized suckers.

Spam is definitely bad for society. So if 1 piece of spam is bad then a billion spams is 1B times as bad. That's a big factor. Probably getting near axemurderer levels of social damage. Think about it in terms of years-of-life removed

Clearly we need a kisrhombille-tessellation based fleuron building system.

Sector editor! (Or back in the day, looking at the source code because we ran uncompiled stuff in Basic and whatever and that was pretty cool)

Your ideas about the world are drawn from what you see. Maybe you see something they didn't see. Maybe they see something you didn't see.

The ancients thought that space was filled with giant balls of glowing gas. What fools they were.

I dunno man. Every generation thinks they have the answers and that their ancestors were fools.

Powerbill tripled, food doubled, taxes steadily increasing. Scrabbling for dollars. My attention is consumed. None to spare for "existential crises". Is it a conspiracy?

Anonymously flagged. That isn't orwellian at all.

You ever try visual-ray cloudbusting? I've tried it (with concentration-meditation augmentation). Seems to work.

I suspect that there are several "big deals" in our society that are trivialized because it's normal, common, approved of by authority, etc.

When you buy your kid a smartphone you are literally inviting a squad of marketing PhDs to stalk him 24-7.

Could you get him a dumber phone? Maybe one of those minimalist e-ink phones. They're nice.

Why is the phone always automatically higher priority than the guy you're talking to? Seems messed up. What's the psychology with that? Is it a FOMO thing? Should we feel insulted?

Many sites ask me (just after the cookies) if they can "send me notifications". I always opt to block of course. However every place I shop at takes the sales conversation as an invite to a marketing conversation. That's 90%

There is also bodily vigor to consider. When you are strong you are resistant. When you are weak you are susceptible. The difference can be huge. It's a good argument for clean living, regular exercise etc.

If everybody agrees then it's probably wrong. If a well-dressed person states it loudly and confidently over the tv/internet/etc, it's probably a lie.

I see what you did there. Reflect. A mirror. Is it knowledge (gleaned from the world) or just a reflection? Well if you're looking straight at it then it's pretty obvious whether it's a mirror or not. But add a couple of filt

They ask you to create an account. The options are "Sign up" and "I'll sign up later". How about that distasteful mindfuckery. Seeing it a lot.

Find an empty building. You and your friends move in. Keep it clean. Plant gardens. Squat like pros. Post regular reports on social media. Any establishment forces that try to kick you out would look really bad. Court of public opinion woul

Because a small group of wealthy individuals own pretty much everything and charge everybody else as much rent as possible. That was always the plan. That's the name of the game. I think it's called "late stage capitalism&quo

If there is nigh-unanimous agreement. Asserting the same narrative, arguing the same arguments. Well that's suspicious. That's a sign of something.

School or prison? Have you seen that? A series of pictures. Click a button. Is it a prison or is it a school? Hard to tell. Funny stuff. https://www.maristane.com/school-or-prison/
