I don’t think hands are good at peeling potatoes. Maybe if you sharpen your nails?

No cake frosting in the jungle.

Isn’t that basically what he pitches? To be angry at the system that has, in their minds and from their perspectives, been wronging them? Even though of course people like Trump are a tumour in the system.

At current pace we most likely will. But it won’t be cheap, both in terms of resources and lives. But it’s unlikely to end human civilisation.

Keep in mind that being a climate doomer and giving in to hopelessness is pretty much playing in the hands of the ones causing it.

Twitcher: I’m gonna be handing out ps5s

Random person: and my axe

It’s about the same reason why Vulcans got attached to us. They’re a curious species. They didn’t necessarily expect gain other than to satisfy their curiosity. They’d probably have respected lab rats about as much as they respected humans.

But I generally disagree with the OP above you. As far as observations go, the universe seems like a rather lonely place. I don’t think a lot of science fiction is far off. Either from a civilisation looking to make friends or slaves. Both are sensible plots. The uselessness of humanity portrayed in that post seems incorrect and highly pessimistic. Evidence of that is easy enough to find just by looking at the rest of our solar system. We may be far from perfect but for something like us and all other life on earth to be born out of such chaos seems to beat the odds and so far we have no evidence of otherwise.

With that said, I don’t think humans will ever reach a state of perfection. I don’t think our universe allows that. Maybe outside our universe.

Are the elders invading again?

The Dragon Ball franchise was mostly a snorefest. Endless fillers. Extremely slow plot progress. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug isn’t it. Even DBZ, which was cherry picked here. And that extends to pretty much everything on that list. As much as I like some of them, I would never be able to sit down and give them my full attention for all their episodes. FMA mayyybe being the exception here.

You probably dodged a bullet there. This sounds a lot like someone who is already in a relationship or at the very least has a similarly strong reason to move on. Did they invite you over or was it always about them coming over?

Only time really works for me. This will be extra tough on you because the first month of a relationship is peak honeymoon phase. We rarely see any negatives. The other person is essentially perfect in our eyes during that period. And that’s the memory and expectations you’re left with. In truth though, you have at best only met the tip of the iceberg. You’re not craving a person but rather the ideal your mind has built for them.

Reddit was a lot more about getting in early than anything else.

That’s not to say other things didn’t matter but how often did we see newer replies get to the top?

Doing this has gotten me off most spam call lists.

Invented in the 50s, Fortran = FORmula Translating language. It was basically created to solve this sort of problem.

It’s pretty much how it started for me. It can work extremely well if your job can tie it in. But at that point expect it to stop being a hobby.

The alternative forms of government have done it much faster. I wonder if we will get the balance right eventually. I thought Nordic states had a good thing going but seeing Sweden’s right shift lately I’d guess not.

In most programming I have done, we treat the users as the dumb mofos. In Java, the programmers are treated as the dumb mofos. As a dumb mofo, I have a great dislike toward Java’s standard development ecosystems.

Since death isn’t the same as sleep, I’d assume so.

I didn’t interprete perfect health as immortality in this case. Just a long life until I died of a very old age.

Much rather dual boot or use a VM.

Perfect health is a no brainer. Not just the longer life but also live free from all the problems that come with health issues.

The second, not so much. Talent sounds good but can potentially make a very boring life. Telekinesis sounds good too but I think I’d still go with the time pause as that’s effectively a 50% life increase. Imagine a day where you can devote 12 hours to work and chores and another 12 to social and personal? You then have perfect health which means you can achieve peak performance in pretty much any sport.

Are you saying we should put dibs on Sahara property?
