I wanted to buy $100 of bitcoin in HS and couldn’t figure out how. Would have been like $60,000,000 :ccc

I’ve only read the two, but I remember being skeeved out when I read it and feeling very validated when I read Galatea.

So it’s acceptable for Elselvier et al to milk academics blind? At the minimum, authors should not be charged.

I think Richard Powers is a sex weirdo who comes up with elaborate novel structures to contain his tulpa gf’s in. I was really put off by the woman in the last short story who goes from bimbo to sexy ghost. That felt prototypical for how he sees women. He also admits to stalking and creeping on one of his grad students in his autofiction Galatea 2.2. The short stories were beautiful but the novel itself felt poorly executed with a lot of cut plot threads.

Alright but look at how much they pay the authors. What other business pays ZERO dollars for their core product?

sounds nice. very fragrant

such an awful thing doesn’t need to be made to high standrads.

please do everything you can to sink that island into the sea. this is henois.

Ultimate B-egg-el: everything bagel, garden veggie cream cheese, slice of sharp cheddar cheese, pickled beets, sprouts, arugula, it’s friday would you like a fried egg, vinagrette.

It seems like a lot of things you want to do on your phone are unnecessary. Why not just use the banking websites in your browser at home? Why not just keep a paper calendar?

Well you see the president is elected democratically unlike in Germany where the Nazis were never…oh…

This is like the last 2008 style meme produced

He should command Joe to end military aid. Like literally put the main in a crisis of faith idk.

big if true.

I think the callous language used to describe people’s wishes here is incorrect and gross, but I don’t wholly disagree. It doesn’t seem contradictory to envision restorative justice for anti-social violence and repression of our class enemies by any means necessary. What else can class struggle entail? Mao reminds us “revolution is not a dinner party. It is a violent process by which one class overthrows another.” Violence is not to be treated lightly.

What to do with severely mentally ill but structurely-powerless reactionaries is a difficult edge case. I think relatively humane life imprisonment is the best option.

Strongly encourage you to find work in a conservation corps or similar organization if they exist in your country and you are able to do manual labor. You would be on a crew of 6-15 people usually living out at a field site for 1-2 weeks at a time, cooking and living and working together to improve the natural environment or recreation infrastructure. Hard rewarding work, good peaceful downtime. Great chance to read a lot of books too since you will be away from computers and modernity.

Eventually looks are going to be the least important component of attraction. It will continue to be about emotionality and familiarity. Young adults are going to feel less and less relatable and therefore less and less attractive.

If its subtitled, I’ll be okayish. I can partially read Spanish and French.
