Obligatory Jim Carrey quote:

Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realise how peaceful and calm it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.

Mining on a planet/moon in Star Citizen. Very chill, you get some beautiful views and monkey brain can see balance go up.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and chatter in the place of exercise.

I’d recommend reading Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do by Michael Sandell.

Also I haven’t read it myself yet but it sounds like The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris would probably be of interest to you as well.

The design is very human

I too have just returned after completing this task.

Great recommendation. We Lost the Sea - Departure Songs is one of my all time favourite post rock albums as well.

Haha, right, “float”… so that’s what the kids are calling it these da- HOLY SHIT

If an argument is in public it’s fair game.

I believe unnecessary censorship has become a cheap way to increase engagement

Oh my god he just ran in

Wait, so if I only worked four days a week I’d have the energy to work five days a week?

I would be worried about maintainability as well if the person has no or very limited engineering experience. The first cut implementation of something is in my experience the easiest and most fun part!

If I see someone in the right turning lane with their right indicator on, I assume they are about to turn right.

If I see someone in the right turning lane but they have their left indicator on, I assume they want to leave the turning lane.

If I see someone in the right turning lane without their indicator on, I assume they are probably going to turn right but they may have made a mistake or changed their mind, so I’m more cautious if I’m passing or try to leave room for them to get out if appropriate. This is the most annoying situation for me because I have less information to guess what they might do next.

Sorry, I’m probably missing something because I don’t see how that would help if the government is not open to feedback. As a concrete example let’s say you strongly oppose the anti secession law from 2005 and believes it should be abolished or reworked entirely. Is there an avenue for working towards bringing about such a radical policy change within the government as a citizen?

It’s good that those resources exist. What if it’s a policy that the government is not open to feedback on?

As a citizen, what’s the most effective way for you to bring about change on a government policy you don’t agree with?
