Dictators are always afraid of their own people.

I love when they reveal that she’s studying nuclear physics.

You don’t choose coin life. Coin life chooses you.

I literally just learned about the glymphatic system earlier today. Apparently it’s only been known for the last couple decades, so it hasn’t been studied all that much compared to other brain topics. This video talks about how it flushes out waste products through our cerebrospinal fluid, and ways to make this work better. Main things are exercise and hydration, but there’s lots of other interesting info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBA8_c6HLR0

He should have shown up on Buffy - Leonard and Spike would have gotten along great!

I know everybody hates AI but to me it’s weird to treat artificially generated nudity differently from if somebody painted a naked body with a real person’s face on it - which I assume would be legally protected freedom of expression.

Sounds to me like you just haven’t had enough practice, given that you aren’t interested in driving and haven’t don it much. If you can find people to drive you around or don’t mind taking buses and paying for Uber etc, not driving will probably be no more than a minor inconvenience - depending on where you live and how easy it is to get around without a car. Could influence your decisions about where to live and where to work, and having appointments could occasionally suck, but again it depends on your environment.

But they do know because they found the trail of slime.

When ads get in the way I simply don’t watch the videos. It’s not like anybody ever really needs to watch any particular video.

Buffy has entered the chat.

Side note: I’ve been told that recruiters for investment firms like candidates who play MtG because it encourages lateral thinking.

If the monkey traded the oranges to other monkeys for other treats, or for something intangible like status or privacy, the zookeepers would think it was a cool and smart monkey, but they would think the other monkeys who took the extra oranges in trade and let them rot were less intelligent.

But you could do lots of useful things with a billion pokemon cards - either bartering them for goods and services or converting them to money first, effectively “spending” the cards on useful things.

But practicality isn’t the issue when people see someone hoarding incredible amounts of something - it’s the abnormality of devoting yourself to accumulating vastly more than what we interpret as anywhere near normal. We treat hobby objects that way but not money.

In the Post-Scarcity Era every guy will get a trophy wife!

If somebody says it costs $5000/mo, how could they say it in a different way that you would define as “transparent” - do you want receipts?

Makes me think of Will Smith in Men in Black - “She got that whole Queen of the Damned thing going…”

Challenge was accepted.

I would love it if he and Dave Thomas reunited for more Great White North. They could be old dudes with Gen Z grandkids.

I know right? He turns 99 later this month! I hope I look that good.

Am I crazy or does that sound like an immortal entity with world-ending powers?
