Poor people that question their circumstances or don’t follow the rules are dangerous for rich people. America has systematically reduced the wealth of millions of African-Americans and rather than vilifying “reparations” everyone should be fighting for equality and justice. Of course the current trend is to subject anyone below a certain wealth threshold to ever-tighter conditions to keep them from ever gaining or building reasonable wealth.

I really didn’t expect Season 2 of Dangers In My Heart to be better than Season 1, because Season 1 was pretty solid. Season 2 has been amazing. It’s probably one of the more down to earth rom-coms I’ve seen, the first season really pushed the clueless MC but this season shows Kyotaro at least understands that his feelings are probably reciprocated.

There’s much more value outside of the screen than inside the screen. The internet is finally becoming less an escape from reality and more just an extension of reality. This feels very anecdotal, I wonder how much of this perspective just comes with age.

When Momo says “haaa?” like a delinquent, I knew I had to watch this.

I’d love to be able to take this guy to the future, maybe 200 years from now. Then show him the barren wasteland that is where his home once was and tell him this is what happens when you underestimate your impact on the climate. Might not cause you problems now but your progeny will live in filth.

Does the AI processing have to be performed locally or constantly active?

The way the disc works the center is the South Pole and the North Pole is actually a huge ice wall, it’s all very logical and easily validated by scientific evidence obviously

Just the other day I was able to demonstrate how gravity works by spinning a disc covered in toothpaste very fast, all the toothpaste stayed on the disc

Toxic behavior has a double-edged consequence. It both tends to make the person responsible feel like they act that way naturally, and it also makes people respond to them as if they act that way naturally, it becomes a feedback loop. So much of the perpetual cycle is subconscious.

Sometimes it takes a hell of a lot of patience and a step back to say, “you aren’t toxic but your behavior certainly is.” It’s moments like those where maybe, hopefully they can realize that behavior is something for which they need to seek proper help.

That’s like comparing a road-model Subaru to a rally-model Subaru, they are obviously built for far different purposes

Thank you, I agree. I have enough brain cells to type this comment and believe that I’m self-aware.

The fact that Shuggie was 15 when he tracked the bass on this can’t be overstated enough, his performance is remarkably clean. I would have never guessed he was so young all the times I listened to Peaches En Regalia.

This album was what sold me on Frank Zappa. His quirky writing is quirky now but in 1969 it was damn near extraterrestrial. It blends such unique sounds and traverses a vast number of genres (a term which Zappa himself would have called pious and marketing lingo for “we have no idea how to actually describe music”).

It’s safe to say Russia and China have actually helped contribute to a lot of the issues in the last decade by holding a lot of soft power online. The US government can’t stop an enemy that blends in with their sovereign users, advertisers, and content creators.
