Time to lift
When my kid’s your age I’ll be 52, which is practically middle aged by modern standards… If you eat your veggies.
There’s no question about it.
I’m not here to split hairs, we’re both talking about the same problem. I’m still happy for them finding a way out.
Privileged. British by birth.
That said my wise card is still my daily driver.
Hahaha yeah
Not bad! It’s a dictatorship, but aside from that I hear it’s quite a good standard of living. And I hear the food scene is immense.
It’s never been more true, the old saying that freedom ain’t free.
I’ve become an immigrant in the UK a few years ago when I had the good luck to convince myself all of this would happen sooner or later. Kept my citizenship so far because I wanted to vote against him this time. What’s your story?
Have literally sent work emails from the back of a cab on a highway with roundabouts. I may have a serious problem.
Spending money to make money 🤑
That’s entirely clear, at those levels. Absent some kind of chaos theory hypothesis, you’d need billions of dollars in motion to motivate that kind of action.
I still often wonder to what extent the tail is wagging the dog. If enough money is riding on an outcome, does money go towards ensuring that outcome?
Clarification: I would welcome it in this case, but I am interested in hearing from anyone who knows about betting markets generally affecting outcomes.
So there’s a frightening little maniac who constantly annoys you in elaborate ways and always wants to play.
Brethren, that’s just having a kid with hyperactive ADHD.
The toy doesn’t die and form an unbreakable death clench on me like my real dog would have. Easy to clean, 3 out of 5 stars.
Isn’t it astonishing that the Theia impact really happened, and we giggling gnats have the wherewithal to understand and prove it several billions of years hence?
Yuuup. Ten times out of ten it’s a republican politician who needs to “think of the children” a lot less.
It might be auditory processing disorder. The second more than one person is talking (and books count) I begin to crave death.
Yes well, even though I was raised by artists and have given over a large portion of my life’s energy to creative pursuits, nobody actually told me that art is the study of choice (and everything started clicking into place) until about a year ago and I’ve been riding that high ever since.
Same way that if you’re going to write, you’ve got to read a lot. My favourite metaphor for creativity is a conversation, and the most interesting “statements” in any creative conversation come from a highly relevant observation based on everything said so far, not from someone who blurts out a complete non-sequitur. A brilliant random comment can add worthwhile variety to a conversation, but they’re not the moments that feel like something insightful has been discovered - I hope that hangs together, mostly.
Yacht Club does feel like one of those people who, when they speak up you always want to listen. I don’t do much mobile gaming, but I went out of my way to play a bit of Pocket Dungeon. It put me in mind of mobile games from way back before everything was an addictive by design skinner box, but it also managed to be something I could pick up and put down with very little friction. It’s kinda perfect, and if I was going to play more mobile games I could do worse than going back.
I’ve stopped worrying about great filter theory. We’re not going to get that far.
