Check out the story of John Chau. He spent a year planning and preparing to be the first missionary to visit the North Sentinelese, a virtually uncontacted people. During his first couple (illegal) attempts, they shot arrows at him. He visited again and they killed him.
How I Built This is a good one. It’s an NPR podcast where they interview successful entrepreneurs and inventors about how they started their companies, what they would have done differently, etc.
Knives, the cutting implement? Not The Knife, the Swedish electronic band?
Thank you for the explanation. I felt very out of the loop on this whole thread. I’ll look into pihole.
Sharks have existed on earth longer than trees have.
This made me laugh out loud on the office toilet.
I’ve been using Tidal for a couple years and I don’t miss Spotify ever. Same price, higher quality, and they don’t pollute my screen with endless recommendations.
Man, it’s so disappointing that this joke, or some variation of it, is the top comment on so many news threads. What do you think you’re contributing?
Huh. This hasn’t been my experience. I notice some hive-mindedness and meme responses, but in general I feel like high-quality comments are more visible here. I also put a lot more effort into my comments than I ever did on Reddit.
Is there any way to confirm this? Or are there examples of artists who made a significant amount of money from NFTs? I understand its potential benefit for artists, but I mostly remember already-rich corporations (e.g. UFC) using them as another way to extract money from consumers.
Are you asking if it’s so depressing that it becomes uplifting? Not exactly what I meant. The message of the movie is that we’re all in this together. Of course we should be doing everything possible to minimize climate change, but when shit hits the fan, you can either hoard money, guns and food, or you can be present with the people who really matter.
I live in a city that was (rightfully) torn apart after George Floyd was murdered. I suddenly became afraid of my neighbors. Who could I trust? How would I protect my family? Would I be forced to choose between protecting my parents and protecting my partner and my dogs? How would I protect my food and valuables? Would I have to get a gun?
That last question snapped me out of my delusion. I refuse to be controlled by fear. When things get bad, I will not be someone who slams the door on my neighbors. I won’t fucking shoot someone because they need food and I have food. I will share what I have and we’ll work together.
Honestly, it makes me feel more at peace about our likely demise. I rewatch it when I’m feeling especially pessimistic.
I donate frequently also. It pains me that people poke fun at Wikimedia or Jimmy Wales for their constant fundraising. It’s such a ubiquitous tool, it’s a miracle that it’s free.
From Wikipedia:
From 2011 to 2018, Carruth was in a relationship with Amy Seimetz. The couple became engaged in 2013. Seimetz obtained temporary restraining orders against Carruth in 2018 and 2020 and a permanent restraining order in 2020, citing years of domestic and emotional abuse and harassment. Carruth has denied these allegations.
On January 13, 2022, Carruth was arrested at the home of another ex-girlfriend on allegations of domestic assault and vandalism. He was released four days later on a $50,000 bond.
Unless you finish it in the oven, you won’t get the Vital Crispies.
Not sure if the phrase is used elsewhere, but on the Citations Needed podcast they call this the “normative-descriptive switch.” Basically instead of making a counter argument, you just describe a norm. Example:
A: I think airlines should be punished for losing luggage.
B: It’s common for airlines to lose people’s luggage.
It’s so simple and stupid, but I rarely see it called out.
You don’t know the circumstances under which she had kids. I understand your point that they didn’t ask to be born, but if that’s the case are they just going to be bitter freeloaders to punish her?
2017 Leaf here. It’s my first EV and I can’t see myself going back. The fact that I never have to put gas in it hasn’t gotten old. I should note that 2017 is ancient in EV years so the range is pretty bad. I can only rely on this as my primary vehicle because my partner has a gas car.
Yes, definitely. I’m more willing to share my honest opinion. For me, the fear of downvotes was real. I also sorted Reddit posts by Hot, and I rarely felt motivated to connect on a post that already had 1000 comments.
A friend who worked at Meta said pretty concisely, “You get rewarded for coming up with something new, not improving something old.”
