The person who downvoted you for listening to someone else talk is a hilarious reminder of what kinds of mindsets are out there

“Objective worth” is a bit of an oxymoron, because worth is up to your value judgment.

If you’re questioning the “evolutionary imperative” that organisms want to pass on genes - one fairly human trait is that a lot of us can consciously diverge from that instinct, either fulfilling that need by passing on our legacies socially rather than genetically, or just not looking to pass anything on at all.

Something we have in common with other mammals is we prioritize whatever experience is in front of us. Anyone who’s directly affected by catastrophes and strife will have different beliefs than people who aren’t.

So if objective worth has no neat answer, what’s left?

I’d say it’s interesting to have so many different subjective experiences in one world, with a language-based society able to communicate and share many more varied experiences than most animals. Interesting isn’t inherently good or bad, but if nothing was good nor bad then nothing would be interesting.

So yea. Human life is entertaining. We’ve got that going for us!

P.S. If you’ve ever lived in a city whose infrastructure is strained by overpopulation, you don’t necessarily view declining/shifting populations as a bad thing.

Yep I’ve been witnessing it for years and I still have no idea how to wrap my head around what is happening

When your life is that short, you don’t perceive “short” the way humans do anyway

You can’t ask, because the OP is just part 1 of an ad

What a creative way to write “demoing”

Did you know making fun can be friendly and fun

Peppy!

A player rez being countered in the final big bad fight sounds like a dramatic scene to me. I’d hope the DM would ham it up when it happens.

I mean the super rich generally did a lot of things on their way there. The wake up call is usually around the things they do and people they exploit, not equating the difference to dumb luck.

Hoo-wee you’re gonna be extra disappointed about that particular demographic then

Boy are you gonna be disappointed to learn who’s on the internet then

Perhaps because it’s not

Same problem. No other ways to verify, just my FULLY CORRECT PASSWORD, so Google has decided I’ll never get to access my old account again.

I posted about it on the Google forum and was told by a self important community person that it is my fault for not logging back into that account to set up backups.

Happy to switch off Gmail now, but it won’t get my old emails with bygone friends and family back.

My fault for expecting my password to get me into my account. Fuck Google man.

This is my guess too

I made one that said START once

It’s so MADDENING

This is less a design choice and more the reality of package-based architecture, but - menus that I have to wait before interacting.

I spent most of my life being able to enter clicks and hotkeys as fast as I want, because they would queue up and the app would resolve them in order. Now I can’t type too fast after pressing the Windows Start button, because the start menu needs time to load before it can handle KEYPRESSES. Tapping Windows key followed by “Discord” will search for “iscord” or something if I type full speed.

It feels like every modern app is optimized for a slow person browsing one-handed on a phone.

Nametag that says “GitHub CoPilot” and if anyone asks you to “help them with their code” answer like you’re Clippy from MS Word

hashed out

heheh
