Roblox wants the future of communication to be via Roblox?

Were you the only one who knew how to press the input button on the remote to switch devices?

A second peace plan in as many months designed to legitimize a landgrab by an imperialist power

They’re not in the new Epstein Ballroom, they’re in the student loan servers (they’re nice and cool like tunnels)

I was on snap in college and I had to resubmit the paperwork to apply every 3 months. What I got would change every time I refiled. I feel like it had a lot to do with which caseworker I got. Sometimes the paperwork would come in the mail past the deadline for the interview and I would have to restart the process.

I hate how it deals with lines in chart grids where it looks like different lines are bolded depending on your zoom level

How long has it been on 99.9%? Still a chance you just need to wait for someone to turn on their computer?

If I can’t get an audiobook specifically I usually mark it as a request in the Libby app and hope the library will purchase some licenses. Does your library offer similar services?

To answer your original question though I don’t generally buy stuff I’ve failed to torrent. I intermittently search for it again unless I forget about it though.

I’ve lived near a… crack distribution service and can confirm that nice BMWs were not rare visitors.

Will do:)

got it. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

When you say blend it do you mean in a blender or just mix them?

The typical therapist advice about focusing only on the things you can personally change does not work well on macro issues. Issues that were created by lots of people working together like climate change require a bunch of people working together to fix. A bunch of people who don’t individually have the power to make any significant impact.

Moral philosophers get bogged down trying to figure out how to do a calculus that would reasonably obligate each individual to join the cause via our normal feelings of responsibility but these generally feel unintuitive and lack the kind of motivating responsibility most people feel towards things they had more control in creating or causing. I like Pinkert’s early work to help get my head around issues of collective responsibility and individual motivation.

Fact is that a whole lot of people need to take a leap of commitment to solve collective problems because if everyone acts rationally (in terms of their proportional responsibility to the problem and capacity to fix it) there is not nearly enough capacity to make a dent in issues like environmental pollution.

On the level of day to day life it depends on how you’re applying the advice but I personally don’t find it comforting to be told there’s nothing I can do to intervene—in this case too I feel better trying -something- and failing frequently vs forcing myself to be zen about my friend turning to drugs or my boss being a jerk all the time because my rational brain says my efforts won’t make a difference anyway.

Uh oh I think you’ve gone and added a new dystopia that we’ll need to incorporate:( I’d read it though, solid premise

Okay but hear me out, how would we craft a world that combined all of the dystopias science fiction warned us against if we left out mass surveillance?

He is wearing the shirt, pulls his head inside like a turtle, and sprays the axe deodorant spray inside (presumably from the bottom opening).

And whimsical crockery

In 2020 Freakonomics did a dive into the effectiveness of adverts. Link below (transcripts too). There are sources listed and such. My tl;dr based on memory is that ads in general are not very cost effective for most companies. Ads are very cost effective for companies that sell ads though.

Full agree

The communist manifesto was written for a different historical moment but so much of it is still spot on.

I mean come on, it opens basically like “Everyone in the current status quo has already painted communism as their biggest most powerful enemy, may as well unite and make it become that.”

Feels pretty topical given that multiple countries are thinking about naming antifa, which isn’t an organization, a terrorist group.

Shoot, I’m too poor for this. I’ll have to tape up some ads on mine
