Well maybe they’ve gotten enough nice points they can turn them in for one sex?

- Comment on Why Furiosa Is Not The Best Mad Max Movie Explained In George R. R. Martin's Review 2 weeks ago:
Here is my reply from a few weeks ago after I had watched the movie:
Watched it over the weekend and was rather underwhelmed. It felt “cheap” compared to Fury Road. The CGI was quite terrible in comparison, especially when they showed some scenes from the last movie during credits. It’s just so obvious they paid less detail to the effects and it seemed like a significant decrease in their use of practical effects. Add to that some of the effects were just plain bad. AND worse of all
Tap for spoiler
They skipped the final fight scene completely!
Also there was just too much talking. Fury Road was great because the world building was done without extra dialog. Furiosa just felt like any other Hollywood film with nothing special at all.

The budget was higher than Fury Road? Why did the whole movie look so cheap then?

I’ve been following them for a while now and hope they can make it into production. Their focus on efficiency and repairability is quite exciting!

That just makes it sound like grad students are excellent targets for corporate influence.

I mean maybe that just means you were bad at naming which is the hardest part! When I’m sober I spend a lot of thought on naming things, and when it gets skipped over while drunk I’m just like wtf did I write?

If you can’t understand it, is it high quality?

In my experience I can write more code after a few drinks. However I usually find that the code is of low quality when I check it the next day…

- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 1 month ago:
More than we can consume right now. We used to think this about oil as well. Humans will seek to reach this limit as quickly as possible. It will certainly create new technologies. However I don’t think it will solve scarcity problems for everyone since many of those issues are not resources or technology but politics. We choose to deprive certain humans of their basic needs.
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 1 month ago:
I’m not certain near infinite energy will solve scarcity. Humans will simply use up all the available energy anyways until we eventually run out of whatever previously “infinite “ resource we’re using. We’re very good at this type of optimization.

I mean there’s a large category of conversation that can lead to further flirtation without being considered initial flirtation. That’s the whole point, escalating socially acceptable requests.
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 1 month ago:
I mean that’s the whole point of flirting. You establish a rapport and read the social cues to see if there’s reciprocation. Smiles, eye contact, etc. The problem of course, is misreading.

That’s a lot of dirty parking lots you’re walking through… even the cleanest surfaces outside have way more dust and grime than inside.

Being upright and the ability to sweat through our skin. Most quadrupeds can only exhaust heat through panting, and their diaphragms compress when running so they can’t pant as effectively.
- Comment on Is it possible to make my data worthless? 8 months ago:
There’s definitely less valuable demographics but I doubt it would be completely worthless, you’d just be cheaper to advertise to.
I mean it might make it seem like you’re more valuable and then never buy anything, some companies would be paying more to show you ads but get less return, so you’d be costing them more money.

And if you’re the type that does not handle criticism well, don’t expect honest answers. So you should first determine if you are ok at handling criticism.
