yeah I think the way I always read that question was in the hundred duck sized horses vs one horse-sized duck sense. The average woman passes by, say, in public, hundreds of men per day in a city, right? I read that question (and the implication) that they’d prefer from a safety standpoint if each one of them was a bear, which is more of a video game premise than a situation anyone would survive.

If Concord’s launch was a rocket, it would have bored a hole into the launch pad because the thrusters were backward, and I don’t think anyone would have called it a “launch” in any conventional sense.
So how can it be a comeback if it never even came?

The type of place where people describe themselves as spiritual but not religious.
- Comment on Is Disney Bad at Star Wars? An Analysis 2 months ago:
As long as they keep shoving more stories somewhere in between some otherwise inconsequential aspect of the original trilogy it will just keep grinding to nothing. They’ll make an entire movie following the production of an intergalactic cheese pizza so you can understand why the lieutenant commander in the background shot of a scene in episode 4 farted. Tell some fucking new stories already.

Yeah it felt like the Bible and the white/yellow pages used the thinnest paper I’d ever seen
- Comment on Interactive Entertainment 2 months ago:
No, you don’t. The brand is run by a (gasp) clueless billionaire who thinks it’s cute to overplay this. So stores are filled with stupid signs that say stuff like “Aisle” or “Food” and the net effect of it is kind of dystopian and miserable (but, in a mocking way). Enjoy your generic “Slop”, “Poor”.

Oh I thought the sign was going to say “we have to sacrifice everything we believe in for the incredibly narrow issues going on in a single state because of the Electoral College, that’s how democracy works you dumbfuck” but my eyes are getting bad

Turns out it was just someone who didn’t know how to change the setting.

could a record like this be used as a presence detector? Like if there was any observer who collapsed the wave function then we’d get the collapsed lines in the log, otherwise it would have indicated no observers? (obviously even what the hell is an ‘observer’ anyway?)
- Comment on What the fuck happened to YouTube!? 4 months ago:
That and all the people who say shit like “But I have to watch the ads to support the creators”, like there wasn’t 70 years of TV advertisements preceding this generation. I know I’m talking to a kid when someone says that. No one thought they were stealing from Burt Reynolds if they didn’t buy a Chrysler or tampons. It’s absurd.

FWIW, that father may have grown up with a father just like you. He just made different choices. Just like you can see that those are different choices. You could and probably will make different choices too, it’s the only way we ever change. It’s not by retroactively having perfect circumstances. It’s by choosing to be better each day moving forward.
Also, as a 40+ year old myself it’s always important to take a clear stock of the ways you’re similar to your parents (I find more every day) and also the myriad ways you are your own individual.

they used to talk about ‘the $100 computer’, but I think they were envisioning a laptop or a netbook, no one thought it would be a mobile phone
