  • What is the point of this framing?

    I didn't watch the video admittedly I read the summary, but is it really a dark secret that a major operation like a lung transplant has complications?

    Why present this as a conspiracy to prey on lung recipients?

    There certainly is something gross with the organ donor system. That people should be aware of, but its not clear if that's the concern of the video.

  • Price point is fine for a "new" laptop.

    Unfortunately, most of us obsessed with repairable laptops are also okay with refurbed at like a tenth the price.

    Sure, a framework is more repairable than a thinkpad. But the point is to reduce ewaste. I can more easily reduce ewaste by buying this repairable enough laptop from eBay for $200-$400 vs $1200 without ram or ssd

  • I swap PCs regularly and I hate how long it takes to install windows.

    Also windows borked a games drive once and I never forgave it.

    Then I learned all the privacy stuff.

  • Genuine question: why do you want to be a Co-owner and not just start a server?

    It seems you're aware of what goes into it normally. Except technical aspects. Is that all?

  • Tom Bombadill was an insane add to the story.

    "Yeah I thought it would be interesting to have a guy who could just end the story but he loves his girlfriend too much."

  • So long as Daniel is paid from Mullvad, Mullvad financially supports the far right by proxy.

  • I'm a fan of academic and Pop-academic sources.

    Pop Academic is usually the much easier to read version of a proper academic quality book. I'm a fan of Bart D. Erhman and a lot of his books are pop academia, but they reference his academic works.

    The process I was taught for this kind of source finding is 1) Search for a broader topic 2) Find a well referenced book on the broader topic 3) Read book reviews of the book to determine if it has the content you want 4) Read the book or skim the book looking for mention of the idea you want to know more about 5) Check the relevant sources of that section.

    If there are no sources listed (or they don't exist because they're hallucinations), its probably not a good book for information.

  • Alright you got me here. 3 redbulls today, even sugar free, kinda fucked me up.

    But importantly I met my arbitrary corporate deadlines! No I won't be recognized for my sacrifice! Why did I do this to myself?

  • Gingers are Lorax-kin

  • I'm not living to eat.

    I guess that's fair. That's probably our biggest difference since I enjoy the whole cooking process. Tweaking seasonings as the process continues to make something complex and delicious.

    But if that was never interesting then I guess it wasn't a big loss.

  • A Plato ass move

    Context: Plato's conception of gods was that they couldn't lie because they were actually necessarily good.and things that were wholly good have no reason to decieve. They don't even shape shift!

    In the Republic, Plato says we should rewrite myths so that this truth was pushed and not the slander of poets. Further we should restrict what poets can write in his ideal republic (though this is more of a metaphor for how to live a good life than a literal outline of his ideal republic, its still kinda shitty of him and I'm not really sure if there's a better interpenetration).

  • I once knew a guy who was overweight and had his face fucked up in an ATV accident who was constantly cheating on his various girlfriends.

    Looks really don't matter.

  • To consider debasement of currency as bad I must first respect the concept of cash capital.

    Therefore, Diogenes is based.

  • Cats are the best

    Jump
  • I love my cats, but I'd rather my neighborhood have birds.

  • IF you got wide feet, Lems and Zero do pretty good. Lems I know goes to 15, but I'm just a 12

  • If Plato is accurate then I don't know if he didn't talk out of his ass.
