You’re not allowed to benefit from things unless you fully understand how they work, obviously. Better get rid your fridge unless you know that heat exchange cycle by heart!

Bingo. I work with clothing and people like to complain about the generics, but if you get something above the absolute cheapest shirt we offer (go figure, it’s what most people go for), you’ll end up with something pretty nice.
MAGA doesn’t care about quality. Like, at all. All of the customers I’ve gotten that are clearly on that side of the fence all want it cheap and fast. Who cares if it looks or feels good as long as you tick the box. They wouldn’t know taste if it threw up in their mouth.

Well, that’s why they say “On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.” They share our internet. Cats wouldn’t dare be caught on the same internet as dogs. Think of the optics!

Neat! I have really strong vision, but know how to force them out of focus. It’s weird not being able to blur my vision when I’m doing this.

I mean, that’s the conflict of the movie. If everyone around you is always kissing your ass, you’ll never know you need to wash it. It’s the crux of the movie. Sounds great on the surface but he wants to know he’s actually loved. Not just because it’s scripted to love him.
If everyone around me was being paid to like me all the time, I’d never be sure if I was a good person. No one would ever correct me or tell me I need to do better.

I can’t wait for the end game where all the other players are throwing hundreds of game pieces at you and you deflect them with a clove of garlic.

Yep. I think if they didn’t respawn or respawned way less I might have really enjoyed that game.

- Comment on Why do we humans love music so? 4 weeks ago:
I think when we capture nature in a hyper-realistic way, the takeaway is control. We get to choose exactly what is included and what is not. It’s also about admiring the process that goes into it. We’re able to comprehend the work that went into making that possible. It also means that you get to stop time in the piece. You’re seeing that very specific part of reality that artist wanted you to see.
- Comment on Why do we humans love music so? 4 weeks ago:
I think all experience of art, enjoyable for us or not, is something the brain adheres to because it is unlike nature. Nature tries to all blend together in a very loose way. We categorize many things like animals, land, the stars… but it all is really just one thing. Art is the ability to purposefully change that continuity with intent. To see something sitting there, doing nothing, and you feel the desire to arrange it in some way.
Music is no different. We realized sound was one of our senses and most of nature’s songs are chaotic, outside the rare particularly talented bird.
We’ve found ways to harness sound into whatever we found is most pleasing. And it seems what it pleasing is different from one person to the next, but also shares ground through the instruments we use.
I imagine when we first started rhythmically hitting sticks on rocks, it wasn’t long before we had an arrangement of our favorite sticks and rocks to hit together. And we just kept getting more creative from there.

- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 5 weeks ago:
I guess I have to put my foot in my mouth over a comment I made a month or so back. I had said an XBOX handheld would sell out against the Steam Deck simply due to brand recognition.
This was of course before I thought they’d be dumb enough to make a console twice as expensive aimed at the mass market. If this was targeted at the same price as the Deck, they might have had a chance.
I don’t know anyone that would consider one of these now.
- Comment on Financially rewarding and you will always have a job 5 weeks ago:
There’s other hand-craft trades that don’t involve sewage. If you get into the commercial space, there’s a good chance you’d deal with it a lot less if at all since they would need a specialist for biohazards.
