I envision a future in which everything is cracked and we can all play whatever with super low latency because we live in a big sphere city in outer space.

Belief is when a claim comes from a source I trust. In some cases, it’s a source I’m choosing to trust.

Like, my nephew is staying with me. He’s had meth issues in the past. His alternative is a shelter. He claims that he has a seizure disorder, and that puts me in a difficult spot because he says it gets worse on the street and also in shelters.

That’s pretty believable, but there’s a part of me that’s aware it could be a manipulation, this whole claim. I haven’t asked for evidence, despite the feeling of doubt.

This is a belief of mine. I am choosing to believe his claim.

If he were to show me authenticatable hospital paperwork documenting the seizure disorder, then it would be knowledge. Then I would know.

This is an example of the difference between the two in my own life right now. It’s a belief because to a certain degree I’m taking his word for it.

Incidentally this is the same way I think the word works in religion. People believe in God because they choose to. I feel like I know God exists, because I’ve encountered it during mushroom trips. But others, who haven’t had those direct contact experiences, believe.

It takes a lot of juice to keep those simulated brains thinking the same 2-second thought loop over and over

I dunno. Looking back the things I regret are the times I didn’t try.

Well, so many people complain about starvation that I just figured there’d be some celebration of our increase in caloric yields per acre.

Yes, we do need other fertilizers to get more nutrients into the food, but it doesn’t hurt to have more basic carbohydrates available.

Good thing higher temperatures mean more water in the atmosphere then.

Nor does cold stress. Why again do we only grow crops in the summer?

CO2 increase causes an increase in crop yield.

“Is there food there?”

They mentioned a “starting city”.

My advice for OP would be to treat the dog as if it’s someone they’re responsible for, and plan their life around the dog instead of the other way around.

Whether it’s moving or vacation, the question of the dog should have been handled first, not last.

There you go little buddy. All the oxygen you can breathe!

Actually only their candidate is. “They” are not

My mom molested me when I was a child. Not always a man, and fuck that bitch for trying to pretend it’s so.

Didn’t seem critical to the core narrative. The tapir was fully sober and in heat so I don’t really see how it relates.

I was able to shorten the original 4,204-character article to this 140-character summary:

X took over @America and gave the guy @America123_12 instead. Twitter terms allow this. The tag was registered in 2010, inactive since 2020.

If you don’t mind my asking, what’s your level of IT expertise?

Have you administered servers, used ansible, etc?

According to the article, there is a question of gross negligence, which circumstance could have the effect of nullifying the contractual limitation of liability.

Among Boies’ wide range of high-profile clients are Theranos, Harvey Weinstein, victims of Jeffrey Epstein, and Al Gore in Bush v. Gore around the results of the 2000 presidential election. He also led the government’s antitrust case against Microsoft in the 1990s.

damn

And you evaluate the parts you don’t like, asking “is this somehow serving the parts I do like?”

The job is meaningful if it allows your family to have a house.

But if there’s another job that maybe sucks less but pays just as much, then maybe your current job isn’t so meaningful. It’s just meaningless pain.

By doing this evaluation you get benefit on both sides of that outcome:

• When something does serve the parts you like, it’s easier to bear
• When something doesn’t serve the parts you like, it’s good to know so you can work on swapping it out with something that does
