Why get a tattoo of a spine, on your spine, and not make it align?

I prefer the generic ones that say “Thank You”

The main threat of AI is that it’s software. At least when robots displaced factory jobs, they introduced robot design, manufacturing, and maintenance jobs. But software is infinitely scalable. You don’t have to program every new instance of a software, it’s just copy paste. Sure there’s tailoring, debugging, and developing new models, but the number of jobs displaced is orders of magnitude higher than jobs created, and rollout is relatively quick and easy. Once a software is mature enough, it can displace an entire industry basically overnight.

This just looks like a curved didgeridoo, am I missing the saxophone part? I don’t see a reed, or valves, or any brass. Curving an instrument isn’t a characteristically saxophone thing, it’s just a cumbersome instrument thing.

So? Why is this person’s relationship any of your business? Some people are into that.

It had my interest when he started thinking of ways to manipulate wizard currency exchange rates, but it hooked me when he met Ron and decided that no one who thought Quidditch was interesting was worth talking to.

Some would say that mindset is cruel and inhumane.

Me either. If you like the HP universe but were frustrated with some of the stupidity, it’s quite cathartic.

I still remember the sudden look of realization when I told a fellow shy nerd at the NerdCon rave “We’re already shirtless and covered in body paint, we might as well dance”.

Re-listening to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It came up in conversation a week ago and since I’ve read it before I can do other things while it plays in the background. Ravenclaw Harry is just so much more compelling than the original.

every time there is an issue discussed it tends to be: women, minorites, whatever have a problem, men are the problem.

This can’t be overstated. There are a lot of loud misandrists posing as feminists, broadly painting men as The Problem just for being men. Speaking up is automatically condemned as condescension, sitting comfortably is encroaching on women’s space, striking up conversation is harassment, glancing at someone in the gym is sexual assault, a drunk hookup is rape.

Of course, there are problematic men who are guilty of these accusations, but the majority are normal people being baselessly lumped in with actual offenders for no other reason than being male. Women get unwavering support for just being women, men get trashed for just being men. That by itself is demoralizing.

Then you combine that with the fact that a large percentage of women want an assertive “manly” man. The boys who err on the side of respectfulness watch the aggressive dudebros succeed sexually and romantically where they fail.

If respect loses to toxic masculinity so often, then it’s only reasonable to think that maybe the guys pushing toxic masculinity know what they’re talking about. And if they’re going to be demonized for being men anyway, they might as well live up to the condemnation and at least get something out of it.

Edit: let me specify, I don’t find Tate compelling, I’m only speaking of the mental state that would bring young men into his influence.

Pickles. Used to hate em, now I will eat dangerous quantities in one sitting.

Same thing I’m doing now: living my life without concern for my cultural relevance.

You didn’t?

Not me, we. Stop trying to weasel out of your mess.

Which is different from you how exactly? All I see are failures.

Does this count as a variant of cubism?
