Sure but at what energy cost? Compared to a human brain it would be incredibly energy inefficient.

Sure, but the bacteria they’d be used to from back then would probably be fairly different from the bacteria we’re used to today.

I mean for what its worth emotional intelligence (recognizing everyone hates you and just wants your money) is a whole different thing. That said, I’m pretty sure he’s just an idiot in general too. Maybe smarter than the average person, but certainly not three standard deviations smarter.

Actually the larger parks near me (the only places that have enough trees to qualify as something close to a forest) do cost money (american city metro area)

“Someone once said that love is the best medicine. He was wrong, though; its crack.” Source Unknown

Good to see a caring take about BPD out in the wild 🙂 People see it at some evil, terrible thing, but with therapy its gone into remission for me and is quite a lot more manageable! Yea, having that loving community around you makes a huge difference in quality of life. Takes some time and effort to build and find the right people, but boy is it worth it.

Outside of the states I assume? In the states the left-most lane is the passing lane.

Yes, exactly! Social theory of disability or whatever.

The whole idea that autism = bad isn’t necessarily right or that simple anyways. I find that being on the spectrum is honestly an advantage for the type of work I do.

I mean Trump obviously is, its not exactly hard to see from how he talks and acts. You can also see from his tax records how he has managed to consistently lose money over decades as one of the worst businessmen ever. When you have that much money you can make more by just hiring a financial planner to invest it in the market for you. Instead he managed to lose money investing in a casino? Thats honestly kind of impressively dumb.

Elon might be smarter than the average person, but that isn’t saying much when over half the US cannot read at a sixth grade level. He certainly isn’t the genius that people make him out to be.

I mean they’re not mutually exclusive though. They can be both morons and evil.

Interesting, was it always that way for you? I feel like for me with books printed on paper I’m actually a lot less picky but for e-readers (or any text on a screen really) the kerning, text size, etc. matters a lot more. The impact is definitely more pronounced for regular screens than e-ink though. Text size I find has the biggest impact on readability on screens for me in general.

Yea for sure, but the cost-benefit is usually (hopefully) pretty skewed. Like even redistributing wealth from billionaires comes at a ‘cost’ to the billionaires, but the downside is their bank account number is smaller (which, who cares). I know you’re not disagreeing btw, just adding to the discussion.

Google used to have something like this where you ‘paid as you went’ by outbidding other advertisers for ad slots on websites. Only worked for google ads, though, and being a google product it was killed eventually…

Isn’t UPenn actually just Ivy League?

I mean, sure, but it is still nice to have some external validation now and again you know?

Out of curiosity, what didn’t you like about God of War 2018?

You seem to have all of the comprehension and logical reasoning ability of a middle schooler.

I mean “atheism” is still a dirty word in politics, thousands of years after the prejudice against that started. Apples to oranges, sure, but just goes to show how long it takes for public opinion to shift sometimes.

Sometimes I have a battle of a poop, and in those times I need to be free of clothing to do my best work.
