I don’t get why all these questions and challenges are necessary - it was just a minor editorial criticism and then a reply to somebody claiming to know what the writer was thinking. Have it any way you guys want.

Interesting. To me feeling overfed is not a good feeling. The few times I’ve said, “Tonight I’m gonna have a real FEAST!” I’ve always felt terrible later. All-you-can-eat places are a waste of money for me.

Somehow that reminded me of the birthday party my daughter organized for her husband. The theme was that he was running for President. She made campaign buttons with his face on them and the slogan, “Win or Lose, We Still Got Booze!”

That’s really what I was thinking - that the graph probably wouldn’t change much if you remapped it to personal connections because the pattern of personal connections is probably what drives it in the first place. Hence my favorite musical era is when my connections peaked around age 30. Although tbh most of what I liked then and still do is what you would call “popular gunk” - never did care much for dismissing popularity as low quality. They often go together, but unpopularity and low quality also do.

I’ll just cross this off my list of pressing world problems then. Let’s see… here it is on page 1129.

Just to save you a click and a minute… they’re talking about certain games on the Luna cloud service. NOT your Kindle library or anything else.

It’s the sludge part that really throws a wrench into it for me.

Even if this would work with no complications from increasing atmospheric pressure, electrolyzing 0.5% of the ocean with present-day technology would take more than 200,000 years. So yeah, that’s plenty of time to invent new tech to reduce the time, but say some miracle invention reduced it immediately by 2 orders of magnitude, it would still take more than 2000 years.

I can’t even eat an entire Whopper, or typical adult-size burger. I don’t how anybody puts away a second one.

No, I could tell one person didn’t write the comment they were making a pronouncement about because the two comments had different usernames. I did assume it wasn’t one peson using two accounts, so my bad.

Notice the graph peaks in the teens. I think our love of music has a lot to do with the fun and social life of that era. I was an introverted high school nerd and barely remember the music from that time, then in my late 20s got into doing theatre - suddenly had a thriving social life full of parties, dating etc, and the music of that era is by far my favorite.

That made about as much sense to me as when Wesley saves the ship by reversing the polarity of the navigational deflector array.

Frankly I think having to work outside in rain or snow trumps having a clueless 19-yo assistant manager criticize how you cleaned the guac bucket lol.
- Comment on Damn straight! 1 day ago:
Because comments have usernames on them.
- Comment on Damn straight! 1 day ago:
That’s a very broad generalization. Lots of people need to prove their prosperity with giant houses, and other people just want a house that has the room they need and isn’t hard to clean. There are people who need designer label clothes and gold chains and people who are very happy with thrift shop aloha shirts. I don’t think ostentation is wired in at all, it’s more of a personality quirk some people have more than others, like their resistance to advertising or how spicy they like their food. It’s a combination of genes, culture and habit.

Oddly not tho. Surprisingly I also see this very clear assumption coming from people who are very anti-billionaire.
- Comment on Damn straight! 2 days ago:
Not sure how can say anything was intentional without being the writer, but ok.
- Comment on Damn straight! 2 days ago:
Yeah it’s weird when people by default assume you would resent anybody getting something you don’t have, or getting it with less effort than it took you - because they would resent this and they assume your mind must work the same way theirs does.

Might want to edit your first line, where it really sounds like you resent him getting paid almost as much as you.

When I was a MS employee for a couple years I saw Ballmer in person at a quarterly division meeting, and I have to admit his enthusiasm was contagious. He was like a kid at a Pokemon convention. Never sw him sweat like that tho.

Given that we accepted the switch from being “personnel” to being “human resources”, headlights seem like a fairly small detail.

I remember doing this too. It was an important lesson to question my first impressions of things. I think it’s why I’m instinctively irritated by today’s dismissive culture, that prioritizes swiping left/right based on minimal information so we can keep scrolling.
