But then the government would have less money. What could be more important than the govt having more money?

No, it betrays that they're, at best, equally guilty of sitting on a pro-union baseline themselves.

Group tennis classes work for me, I enjoy them greatly. Do whatever you want if you're not doing it to meet women.

Not a no-no at all as far as I know. It was explicitly recommended in The Mind Illuminated. It just needs to be an alarm that you'll hear when it's done so you don't have to devote any attention to it, you just focus on meditating until it goes off.

I know, that it's a well known quote is essentially my point. They frame their personal politics as some well-earned enlightenment, far from the ignorant anti-union baseline, while quoting a Nobel prize winning author whose works most people are forced to read as teenagers.

What percentage of your life have you been being inculcated with the idea that your political opponents believe themselves to be temporarily embarrassed millionaires?

Wow, I was just researching go caches like a week ago and read your previous summary of the state of the world. Didn't realize this had been posted. Excellent timing.

This seems a bit of pearl clutchery itself.

I've gained a ton though random wanderings on the internet and wikipedia and so on but it's really not the same as reading one in depth work a person put 500+ hours of their life into.

He did Joe Rogan's show a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udlMSe5-zP8

I've heard a lot of good about this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FBFNL0

Not everywhere in Mexico or everywhere cheap is polluted. I don't even think most Americans know that Mexico City has a lot of pollution. That's definitely not the reason.

I'm pretty confident it is the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it. Check back in 50-200 years I guess.

That swerve doesn't apply to the US's actual unswerving protection of freedom of expression, it was ratified with the following reservation (the first among others):

> (1) That Article 20 does not authorize or require legislation or other action by the United States that would restrict the right of free speech and association protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States.

Wow, protection from ddos attacks and from unsavory opinions? What more could one ask for?

Sorry, I was being sarcastic and I think we're in agreement. I think it's pretty sad that the OP suggested it should be regulated (but I also suspect they only said that because they run a business and can't really say anything political). It's clear from the replies however that many people agree with what he said though.

Yeah, I also wouldn't want my kids to grow up in a world where someone could exchange knowledge for money without a license, but this is ridiculous.

i find it hard to believe that people think it's as simple as gamers just plain hating women for no reason, but it seems to be repeated all the time

I use a bunch of plugins and I've never had trouble remembering the defaults in the odd case I'm unable to use my own config.

I don't get why the top comment on all vim threads is always recommending using poor defaults your whole life so you can avoid learning to configure it or avoid a second of confusion when you're ssh'd somewhere.

Maybe everyone else besides me spends all their time ssh'd into random servers.

"lol" was my first thought as well, and I suspect many peoples, despite the down votes.

Much better they just not be able to afford to move to the city at all.

How does building more of it ever make it more attractive as an investment?

I don't understand how you could not see the value in having concepts like comonotonic stored in your brain instead of in Google.

I don't get how this perspective is always the top comment in every Anki thread: memorizing foreign language words is incredible and this tool is phenomenal, but why would you ever want to memorize any other information?

Why be slow when you can be fast?

The solution is lowering the salary of jobs in the field until people stop applying. It's already solved.

we all just join hands and free money and time rain down upon us, how is that not universally good?

Yeah, it's definitely a thing.

Here's an interesting post about it maybe being due to extremely high "openness" caused by psychs: https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/04/28/why-were-early-psyched...

I suspect this is much more common than anyone realizes: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/06/06/hppd-and-the-specter-o...

I opened this comment section just to see if there would be an alternative I could try on Linux. Going to look into figma when I home.

the cost of power is chronically underestimated

I'm pretty sure using these amnesia type drugs is the standard for endoscopies and colonoscopies (versed aka midazolam). You can find horror stories about them online. You can have those procedures done with just propofol or without any sedation but I'm pretty sure they give you versed by default.

I'm sure you can find horror stories for propofol and other drugs, but I'm vastly more uncomfortable with the idea behind intentionally inducing amnesia.
