I’m considering getting a clock for my kitchen

I have no clock in my apartment. To find out what time it is, I need to fire up one of my computers and look. Sometimes it’s the kindle

“eyesed” in the eyes of the literal

So this makes me wonder if one could force a move into a higher dimension by somehow constraining a set of connected distances in this way.

Sort of like protein folding as a way to bootstrap a dimensional jump.

Another idea is an asking system that compiles answers from the web while also posting the question here. Gives the benefit of immediate answers while also populating the fediverse.

As a libertarian I appreciate their government’s not razing all that shit, and just letting people do what they need to do.

A friend of mine is homeless in SF. His mental health has dropped significantly ever since the city forcibly moved him from the spot where he was camping to a shelter. He says he was doing much better in the tent than in the shelter.

Then we’d have a centrally-planned economy I guess. I don’t really see how a free market would work without advertising.

Isn’t anything non-committal from your source of income a red flag?

Or start your own. I mean this entire thread is just reeking of obvious demand for a very easy to administer mutual fund

In other words, is an integral part of our society that we’ve all collectively invested a lot of money into, for a lot of benefit.

Almost as if the cars have value beyond a status symbol or signal of political allegiance.

Basically just defining addendums here

If society needs to all get along then it has already failed.

Depends on what’s outside my home.

Thus far in life I’ve only been able to afford living in cities, so the blinds stay closed 24/7

That’s why they calling “paying” attention. Like money, attention is a limited resource.

Which rights are being taken away?

I’m all for paternity leave, but there is a conflict between taking time off to take care of your newborn, and taking time off to breathe.

Newborns aren’t exactly a vacation.

I don’t feel rage when I watch the news, even when I see stories I don’t like.

Have an AI summarize it for you?

I guess that’s why they call them singers?

Ethics is more complicated than you think it is.

There is absolutely no reason that the set of rules you learned first would be the actual set of rules that governs people.

As you have learned, being non-aggressive is not sufficient strategy to avoid others’ aggression.

There’s no reason to think it would be, except that it was in kindergarten when large authority giants would easily overpower any aggressor, and would by policy do so on behalf of the nonagressive ones.

Don’t confuse kindergarten rules for global culture. Huge mistake.

Actual culture evolved from nature, and in nature in order to protect yourself you must retaliate when attacked. Every organism has weapons. Every organism.

Meditate on that. Why would every organism use some of its previous energy budget building weapons? Why would evolution select for that 100% of the time?
