Absurd? Maybe, but I’d hate a life without any absurdity.

The onboarding to driving a car is pretty tough, but people stick it out because the product has clear use once you get there.

This comment is itself a beautiful example of postmodernism. Well, at least my incredibly naive idea of what postmodernism is. I do it that way, intentionally.

That’s super interesting! Where was this place? Any examples of the sequences?

This hasn’t been my observation at all. Ratios of “pudginess” seemed similar to the general population to me.

Sure, I know lots of them and literally none struggle with sex addiction or guilt as you suggest.

When I read “beautiful people” I understood it in the sense of the underlying beauty of the fact that we are somehow sentient beings in a universe of chaos and entropy.

Today some tradies were putting up scaffolding next door to me while I was working at home. They were playing this amazing reggae tune, followed by a playlist of similarly great stuff I’d never heard before. At lunch I went for a walk, and

I don’t see why you’d need to consider race at all in this scenario? You find intelligence genes in some people, give them to others. Anything to do with race would seem to be an unnecessary extra step.

I think it’s so you can fit the cents symbol at the end e.g. $6.75c - but this isn’t really used anymore so the dollar sign at the front is a bit of a historical anomaly at this point.

Which part of the “big industries” would you target first, in order to make a bigger impact than the 2% that air travel represents?

Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

I agree 100%. Marriage works for some, but we shouldn’t assume it works for all. People should be encouraged to seek the model that works for them best. That said, if you have a relationship that works, it’s definitely worth putting time in

Like for example if everyone on earth dropped a single penny every day? Then yes, I’d argue you would want to take a look at that.

The problem with this point of view is that each contributor to climate change, by itself, is not especially significant. So if we dismiss each individually as being insignificant, we end up doing nothing about any of them. That’s my percep

Interesting, because one of my pet peeves from going to early 90s gigs was hearing those tinny (to my ears) approximations of acoustic pianos etc. I would have much rather had a freaky synth sound than that! Of course later on, people start

To be fair, Auckland is a massively car-centric city and I would imagine it’s on a par with most US cities in that sense.

I’ve found instagram to be a good format for comics, and in theory following some good comics would be similar to reading the regular comics page. And yet, I haven’t followed any regular comics. Is it lack of discoverability? Maybe there’s

I’m an aspiring author and wanted to put something out there, but found that every platform seemed to have a different way of getting your raw text into its particular editor… are you planning on an easy way to bring things in from more bas
