Sometimes the post content sucks but the discussion is decent.

Is it Corozal Free Zone? Why is it that I can only find photos that look like they’re from the 90s?

Why do I kind of want to go there?

“Free economic zone” raises my hackles. Is this a technical geopolitical term or is it really just gonna be the Corporation Wars zone?

EDIT: I think I was kind of thinking of “Free trade zones” which this is not. So who knows what they’re talking about.

Got drunk and joined Facebook.

RIP in peace

[…] leave em to hang and they’re good as new the next day.

No, sir!

The genitals are one of the cleanest things on your body, by far…

I don’t know if I’d go that far. It’s not very open to the air (bacterial and fungal dream) and the anus is like right there. After a long sweaty day, shit migrates.

But I don’t get the fear when using a towel immediately after a shower.

But I do think (actually fear), we’ll soon get AI-translated e-books where you can select the language at checkout.

Hey, that might be one of the few things LLMs are properly suited for.

I mean, it very likely is depression.

Was it dismissed?

An FBI investigation isn’t a court case. No charges have been made (that I’ve heard of). They’re trying to identify the person who runs the service first, then go from there. These things take time.

Looks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_classification

This isn’t meant for your house. From TFA:

A hotel in Osaka bought the first machine and is preparing to offer the service to hotel guests, the spokeswoman said.

Other customers include Yamada Denki, a major consumer electronics retail chain in Japan, which hopes the machine will draw people to visit its outlets, she said.

“Because part of the appeal of this machine is rarity, we plan to produce only about 50 units,” Ms Maekura said.

Sounds like confirmation bias and that same old assumption that only poors don’t just drive a car everywhere.

Then start with the cities. Make them more human, more livable. They have the largest population and would have the most impact, anyway.

Nothing has to be a blanket solution and aiming for a goal doesn’t mean the goal is fixed or has to be reached immediately.

Don’t forget the rising costs of living, forcing more people onto the street, creating more pedestrian-vehicle collisions generally.

I’m sorry, do you seriously think the rise in pedestrian collisions is attributable to the homeless? And do you think they literally live in the street or something?

I don’t want to be treated like a child. I just want people to be responsible for their own actions.

Can’t say I’m proud of my reaction, but it is what it is.

1. It makes the person look uncanny, which is naturally unsettling
2. I can’t empathize with the decision to surgically change your body for whatever reason. So we’re less likely to relate to each other.

It’s also really not that high on the scale of seriousness. It’s like the same weight as if I saw you wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey or something.

Seems unlikely.

In my family, all the men would watch football and get drunk while all the women were in the kitchen cooking the feast.

Even as a young boy I thought that was pretty gross.
