  • How do you people read books?

    Jump

  • I only was using it as a category!

    A few people are great friends of mine!! I like all people equally.

  • Ooh haven't taken a bath in years! Pray the book isn't too interesting otherwise you'll prune into old age.

    Thanks for the input! If I may ask, where exactly do you do your academic reading? On your desk? And how do you make time/ritual for it?

  • Thank you for the answers! Sounds like great experience and a nice chance to actually give back.

    Hope it goes well 😇 Appreciate all your efforts.

  • Nice work being involved!

    Few questions if you may:

    1. Did you find yourself needing to build a lot of social capital for this role? How much does the job require favors and such?
    2. What are the time commitments like? Can you and any helpers you have do this while having full time jobs?
    3. Do you need to give speeches and facilitate?
    4. Can you give some general idea of what fires one may put out?

  • It's probably because of the English. Don't get too close to them.

  • Trillionaire Elon Musk's Destruction of USAID Takes Food Aid From Millions Facing Deadly Hunger

    Jump

  • Which to me just doesn't make sense.

    The man is hungry for attention and respect. His money would have bought him that and then some.

    It was right there. Don't buy a super yacht and you'd effectively buy good will and get to one up all the rich elite club members, even if it doesn't work. And all that free marketing to help the numbers go up.

    I dunno. Maybe money at that level just rewires the brain.

    Ouch.

    But thank you? a. For considering my attempt at formatting and absurdity with clankers. I would argue that to be human is to accept the absurdity of it all. But I guess it is getting tricky..

    Out of curiosity, I did ask some llms my baby throwing question:

    • perplexity just straight up said no. Unethical question.
    • Chatgpt treated it like a physics problem. All while asking me about technique...
    • deepseek gave a balanced reply. Followed by "Do not attempt". Which I thought was fair.

    b. For at least entertaining my notion I understand that it's all subjective.. that's why I was trying to define a scale, or at least a comparison.

    c. You did help me get closer to an answer. If I take a loose definition of Trust as being my ability to predict its behaviour [and its ability to not harm me] (which I think is fair but arguable..), I would trust a rock more than an adult (and somehow even a baby more than an adult). In my hypothetical world, a trusted consenting adult would help me throwing them thus increasing the overall distance. So the positive correlation is more fitting in most cases (at least in that assumption).

    I fully acknowledge the absurdity and the stupid premise. I thought this was nostupidquestions.

    {Edited to try fix formatting.. Ugh can't. It stays. Thank you for bearing with me! Hope you have a nice day.}

  • Can I trust things)/people as far as I can throw them?

    Jump

  • I hear you and yep, since throwing ability is limited, trust is in short supply.

    Which is why I wanted to consider that throwing ability can vary and therefore the amount of trust. And what can I extrapolate from this scale!

    Nice work though!

    Jump

  • Yay! There are dozens of us (probably more since I guess it has leaped out of cult status)

    Oh oh and I'm also open to recommendations if there's some other movie that you feel is similar and worthy.

    Thank you and hope you have a nice time!

  • The world if christian lived by christian values

    Jump

  • You might enjoy a movie called "The man from earth"

  • It really does

    Jump

  • Dang, hope you're ok.

    Shit does suck but you will be surprised at your agency, looking back, however small.

    I pray you mean self deletion in a digital or a metaphysical context. In which case, would recommend. Everyone needs a level of ego death to thrive. If struggling, then there are books you can read, activities to experience, drugs you can take and interesting people you can meet (therapy is great for ego death) to help shake your framing of reality.

    Sending you good wishes stranger. And my fav quote recently.

  • That image and your description helped a ton. So there isn't a magic zone but more of a threshold after which things get easier to maintain.

    Really should start playing Kerbal Space Program as someone before pointed out. You seem to have a great conceptual model of this. Thank you for engaging 🙂
