I agree, coke makes you an annoying motormouth with no filter. If kiddie shit is what comes out then that’s just what was inside to begin with.
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 23 hours ago:
I think actually relaxing is productive, taking the time to be at your best possible performance is time well spent.
I just think that many modern activities are counterproductive to both rest and productivity.
Like doom scrolling is big-time counterproductive because it blocks rest by frustrating you but also doesn’t actually yield anything of benefit.

I’ve literally seen people just walk out with a cart full of shit. Employees chasing and yelling but nothing comes of it.
Depends on where you are but where I’m at they don’t go after anyone for this.
It’s sad because everything is getting locked up or they just close locations.

Never has been free, the only difference is that there’s more junk to spend your time on now.
It’s always been up to you if you want to spend time productively or not.

It’s an old show, at a certain point the plot stops being a spoiler and enters public discourse.
House could have been re-aired in its entirety and still be off the air for 4 years since it stopped airing.

Yeah it really sucks because they used to have people putting together the playlists and then I could just go into the playlist of songs I like and find other songs that are similar but different. There was enough drift on it but I could find new music easily.
Now the algorithm just keeps trying to redirect me the songs I already like/know. It’s a much tighter bubble than just sticking with a genre or even sub genre.
- Comment on Anon thinks it's over 6 days ago:
Spotify is playing AI music? Or just the music recommendation algo?
I feel like Spotify went downhill when they fired all the playlist makers, it’s so ass for finding new music because the algo tries to keep you in a bubble.

I refuse to consider anything AI generated to be legitimate art.
There’s nothing intentional about it, you simply give a prompt to a machine and it matches the pattern. That isn’t art just like how doing madlibs isn’t the same as writing literature.
A person using AI tools can be ok as long as it’s a human doing the overall composition.
Like using AI to make samples to use in a song is fine, using AI to generate the entire song isn’t.

People who unironically think this should go clean some leaves themselves and see how long they stick with the rake.
It’s always so much easier to tell other people how to do their job.

“There will be no difference in air pressure”
This isn’t really true, the atmosphere just got much lighter since O2 is a bit more than 21% of the mass of our atmosphere.

There’s a reason music piracy is still niche compared to games or movies/tv.
Spotify is still a good deal to me. I’ll gladly pay $12 a month to not have to go through the hassle of torrenting and organizing music.

Most people who stay in academia do so because they couldn’t hack it in the real world.
That’s why they get so squirrelly when you ask about work experience, they either don’t have any or they blew it super hard and had to return to the academia bubble.

I find that people high up in academics tend to lose touch with reality.
I remember in college one professor ranting and raving about how students worry about grades too much and that we should all focus on actually retaining the material.
It’s like yeah that’s a pretty thought but 70% of the class was there on scholarship so if we don’t make the grade we don’t finish and have a mountain of debt.
On a separate occasion the dean of engineering wasted 2 full lectures of ethics class ranting about how we should give to the alumni association and how “it’s a privilege to be here so we need to pay it back.”
There were over 100 people in that room who were in at least $60k of debt to the school and we still had another semester left before graduation.
These people have brains the size of planets but couldn’t comprehend in the slightest how reality gets in the way of their pretty little egalitarian ideals.

Yeah I was thinking of it like black people going to trump, not like racists being set in their ways and finding “their guy.”
So I misunderstood/misread the original statement
- Comment on Slightly Unfair 1 week ago:
“Dude, the difference is the scale… back then they could hint at it, if they overdid it, that was a career ending mistake”
That’s really more like a 15 year window because I remember the 90’s and early 00’s and by today’s standards, people were racist as shit and it was considered acceptable.
Literally watch any comedy from that time and you’ll quickly learn how different the discourse was.
In the past 5 or so years it’s swung back super hard, I’ll give you that, but PC culture as you’re describing it had barely started in the 90’s and really only got off the ground in a way you would recognize in the mid-late 00’s.

Here’s a bbc article about how the lawsuit was dismissed

It includes a picture of his “invention.”
Here’s an archive link of a Washington times opinion piece after the 3rd attempt at frivolous suits failed.
Clockboy was a straight up scam
- Comment on Slightly Unfair 2 weeks ago:
Clockboy was the biggest crock of shit.
The kids dad put the thing together and prompted the kid to get in trouble with it for lawsuit bait and to boost his political career.
It wasn’t even impressive he literally just took the guts out of a RadioShack digital clock and taped it inside a pencil box.
It was 100% low effort bait, it was literally a timer sticking out of a briefcase shaped pencil box that’s obviously supposed to look like a bomb.
He didn’t even get in trouble for having it, he got in trouble for repeatedly pulling it out to disrupt class.
The family got a ton of free shit then a year later tried to sue the city for 15 million and some conservative talk show hosts, all dismissed.
They then accepted a scholarship to a school in Qatar and moved there in 2015.
This is such a good example of the dumbass culture war shit that drove people to trump.

- Comment on It's depressing, man 2 weeks ago:
I feel like it’s pretty common for kids to see the actions of adults and think they’re all stupid until they themselves become adults and finally see what motivated those actions in the first place.
The few adults I’ve run into who maintained the whole “everyone else is such a moron” both overestimated their own intelligence by an order of magnitude and were cripplingly narcissistic.

Blackjack is probably your game because it’s simple and I’ve seen minimum hands as low as $3.
Just don’t do what I did and convince yourself that you’re good at it because you did well in New Vegas.

Different slopes.
On top you kill one person per whole number increment. 0 -> 1 kills one person
On bottom you kill infinity people per whole number increment. 0 -> 1 kills infinity people
You can basically think of it like the entirety of the top rail happens for each step of the bottom rail.
