Hey can we get a big titty goth over here to talk to Agent641?

Meet people where they are.

The final conclusion of the books is far more satisfying than the show ending. Other than that, I completely agree.

Is it a fractal?

I work at a large well established company. I get so many legitimate emails from outside our domain that I am required to click on. Performance reviews, company surveys, corporate training…

Then they wonder why people click fishing links. Bugs the crap out of me. I’m not going to remember the exact domain of the survey company we use, what are you crazy?

This is great advice, but doesn’t work for everyone. I’ve found the snowflake method gives me more motivation.

It works by identifying the core element of the story and expanding with ever more detail. I prefer this method because if you get an idea in your head you can start writing about the most exciting things first. Flush out cool ideas first and it encourages iterative working so even if your first couple passes are garbage (as they will be) you get to refine them as you mull things over in your head.

I think he was supposed to be ejected in that pose?

You missed the jo…

Me too

“Making the impossible merely inadvisable” - poetry!

It’s even more bleak than that. Politically, the bargaining power of the masses is from the labor they contribute. As soon as the need of human labor is gone, there is absolutely no reason for those with power to heed the will of the populus. You can say open revolt, but if we’re talking a situation where any significant portion of the military is automated, uprisings are no longer a concern.

Are those figures revenue or profit?

I loved mushrooms and acid, salvia was terrible. It’s super short and super intense. You may think “well it’s just 5 minutes” but it will not feel like 5 min. If you’re looking to expand your mind, mushrooms and acid are great. If you want to slice your brain in half and put the two halves in two separate dimensions with no personal introspection to speak of, try salvia.

He looks like Creedy from V for Vendetta.

Noob here, what does revanced do?

That’s a noble goal. This is basically the biggest argument against collectivism. If you don’t have even a framework for addressing it I doubt you will get much support for your ideas.

And let’s say 95% of people act civilly, but 5% of the population is extremely greedy. How do you limit the greedy from drinking all the ale and not contributing to the community?

Can you explain your non- currency economy for those of us without that much imagination?

Does trade still exist?

If so what is the medium of exchange?

How is value evaluated?

No one would work fast food or retail, but that might be ok.

I’m very confused about your comment.

a) Is it not okay to use ‘big boy’ words? Do you disagree with the statement or just with the diction?

b) The second point you make has nothing to do with my comment. I’d have thought you accidentally responded to the wrong comment except for you pointing out ‘insular’. Why are these things relevant to the discussion?
