It'll save you nearly $50 a month. So even if the customer service is exactly the same, you get to keep another $600 each year.

I switched to my local provider from Xfinity about three months ago, and my internet speeds are twice as fast for the same money.

Nah, this is funny.

The people that downvoted you need to fucking chill. I'm Native, so I am allowed to make a judgment call on that.

The entire thing is far more disturbing if you unsquint your eyes and actually look at what you're seeing.

The real measure of whether or not an idea is true, at least in personal view, is how well does it hold up to your internal concept of ideal self?

We do not possess a source of universal truth. Sure, there's math and elaborate painstaking work done by scientists to identify what is true to the best of our knowing, but none of that is a "universal" truth.

After all, 1 + 1 = 2 only works when both of the 1s are the same things.

1 apple plus 1 orange does not equal 2 apples, you know?

Going back to the main point, if your version of your ideal self prefers for other people to be happy so that you can live in a world with as many happy people as possible, then ideally, leftist concepts and trans rights would be a truth for you.

What would matter to you about the lives and sexualities of other people is: are they happy?

If they are, great!

If they aren't, treat them as they want to be treated in that situation.

I assume that that is something akin to your ideal version of you.

If it is not, I'm not properly equipped to identify for you what is truth.

But I will say this: if you think that trans people or gay people are deviants or messed in the head, what does it matter to you?

If the entire nation of bumfuckistan started having gay sex from 8.30 to 5, Monday through Friday, what does that matter to you?

How are you affected by the actions of other people that you never interact with, that you never encounter, and that you never see?

Even if it is the most degenerate, horrible thing that can ever happen, it's between two consenting adults.

They're not going to hold you down and make you watch. You won't even ever know it's happening.

So why would you even give the first fucking thought about it?

For me, it's more of the Wilhelm scream.

Oof is not really the appropriate title.

The title should be whatever response you would make when somebody detonates a nuclear warhead directly inside of your soul.

If I was her, I would put my phone down and walk outside of my house into the woods and never return.

Also, with Linux, do you really need the whole potato?

Give me the internet and about 2 hours

I feel like you are on the route to a good concept, but you haven't quite made it there yet.

I believe over the next seven to ten years you will continue to refine this concept until it is actually a good concept and something that you can share proudly with people, But right now it's not well thought out enough, or cohesive enough to stand on its own.

The brain does not fill up with information. It has more than enough storage for a 120 year human lifespan.

Rather, people tend to rely on their previously acquired information because there's no novelty attached to refining your previously acquired information, and by default, human minds are novelty-seeking devices.

Another thing is that there's the possibility that the use of psychedelics can restore the novelty effect, Which would not erase previously acquired information, but rather put a new tint on them.

I imagine that we as a society would be much happier if we had a process where we could do something like that on a regular basis, every five to seven years or so just to reset our minds inside of a structured ceremonial system, Just to help prevent us from becoming too bored, our neurons too tarnished, our minds too inured with ennui, to enjoy life.

Geez, is your mom my stepmom?

To the ~~3~~ ~~4~~ ~~5~~ 6 people so far that have downvoted this post: your mom's a hoe.

 
 

Their jokes about assigning gender to babies and to being transgender, dressing in drag, like all of it was a send-up.

Sure, they did punch down if you were a person who were in those groups, but the fact that it was large enough social event to be relevant enough to be a comedy skit on a television show or a movie seen by millions implies that there were some serious things going on back then that they could see and wanted to address.

What the hell was going on that put all of those things in their mind?

 

I'm sure we've got the technology somewhere. We just need like a giant fucking tree to suck the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and to desalinate the oceans. Something that's the size of an island all by itself.

I don't care if it's 100 billion trees woven together with some science fuckery, but we need an Yggsrasil if we want to fix the planet.

Think about it. A giant tree out in the middle of the ocean that sucks up all of our carbon dioxide and turns it into more trees and that sucks the salts and minerals and plastics out of the ocean and incorporates those into itself until it grows as tall as 100 billion trees woven together with dark science can possibly grow.

Sure, it'll cost I don't know several billion dollars to make this happen a trillion I don't fucking know, but if we had that the world would get better.

 

Like I get the push more air through your mouth and get louder but my voice never breaks. I just get louder and louder and louder until I can't get louder anymore.

One time a friend of mine was a half a block away in the wrong direction and I screamed their name and they jumped because they said it sounded like I was right behind them talking in my normal voice just very loudly.

But then I listen to singers and they get that raw raspy edge to their voice and my voice doesn't do that.

How do you do that?

 

Here's the rules:

1: Post something you have never done that you think many people do. 2: Read the other posts, if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it. 3: If you believe the person is lying, call them out on it in a reply. 4: If you are called out, give the full story. 4a: If you see a thread containing the full story, boost the person you think is right and truthful.

Person who has the most upvotes when the thread dies wins.

 

CAUTION SLOW

 

Don't get me wrong, there are problems with it, both in the process that modern AI uses as well as the sources that it draws from, however, as of right now ai is just a tool like auto-tune or photoshop.

Even though it will change the media formats that it is attached to, it will not supplant them within the next 5 to 10 years, it will simply transform them.

 

Fuckin magnets man

 

We'll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?
