We appreciate your presence!

You're effectively demanding unilateral disarmament.

This is in no way too much to ask for after such visceral political violence. If someone blew AOC's head off there's a zero percent chance I'd post some sneering crap about how I'm "not mourning" her death.

What you're saying here doesn't make much sense. The blue-haired kids just happened to ignorantly stumble into an assembly hosted on campus, after classes are over, watch their friends get demolished, and then step up to the mic and do the same thing?

The reality is that these were fervent believers, ready to be angry and combative, who probably did plenty of research beforehand. The clips that made it to TikTok were probably the lower performers, but they were performers nonetheless. Characterizing these discussions as an intellectual giant beating up on stupid children isn't accurate.

No. Stupidly, I saved it in the Economists' systems and nowhere else. I also don't have even a screenshot locally. I've sent an email and will see if they respond.

The Economist has, un-fucking-believably, deleted their article on it and scrubbed it from search engines. Probably to support their crappy hand-wringing retro on Kirk they shat out.

It may not have been an overwhelming majority, but the percentage of Democrats who believe assassinations are justified is insanely high.

I remember very clearly how critically panned it was and how much I loved it. Need to re-watch.

I vastly prefer having closets. Shelves and Wardrobes "penetrate" into your living space in a uniquely explicit way. As the walls around the room go from predictable edges to a jagged collection of furniture, the percieved space is eliminated not just by the footprint of each item but also the area around it.

People own many ugly things that deserve to be hidden. My camping gear shouldn't be exhibited in my room or even really on a shelf. The closet is the best space for these things.

I didn't realize I had a tendency to make such posts

They're tasteful enough (more so than Exotica, at least) and I think it's weirder to pretend like beautiful women don't exist.

Can I ask the purpose of building that dataset?

Since 2018 have you been using an app like strava?

Great point re: price discrimination.

There may be a split market, one marketed as AI-driven and dominated by AI, and the other marketed as AI-free and dominated by AI

I think this is insightful. A la lab grown meat - there's always going to be a set of people that pay a massive premium for "the real thing".

And yet still, physical prostitution/sugar babying and stripping seem so worth it compared to dropping a couple hundred per month on digital slop. Yes, there are societal norms at play that artificially reduce the price, but it's also fascinating that the male sex drive values quantity so much over quality.

I find 480p porn to be unwatchable, and really only tolerate 720p if it's something special.

Sure, people are doing "new stuff" but camera technology and bandwidth capabilities alone have led to a pretty good treadmill. I haven't tried VR porn but a friend that has gave it rave reviews, so that's another full cycle there.

Personally, I think I'm going to limit my use of my Oculus to BeatSaber, I just can't picture myself wearing a heavy headset with an exposed dong. It's too dystopian.

Another takeaway: US is ~60% of OF spending, when we're generally 30% of global spending power. So one of the right's memes, namely that a bunch of Indians and Africans are driving sexual degeneracy, doesn't apply here at least. It's driven by Americans.

I can't believe Sophie Rain pulled down $80m. She's hot, but (IMO) only a 9/10, and a bunch of lame softcore cannot possibly be worth that for any number of people.

I consume porn, unfortunately, and so the whales on OF with multiple subscriptions blow my mind. How can these people consume so much? And why are they paying for it? For people with mental disabilities who can "believe" these sorts of parasocial relationships, I can understand. But for anyone with a normal level of EQ and general cognition, it just doesn't compute to me.

Hope this guy being removed as president is a secondary outcome. He's a price gouger and too cheap to get some ice when his corpse fridge is busted? What a piece of shit.

I'll mention that the people I know who raise chickens often complain about the challenges and costs. I wouldn't do it.

For decoration/wallpaper, one thing my parents did was cut out Calvin and Hobbes strips and use them as wallpaper. It was awesome. So: Be creative about what "wallpaper" means.

Building secret compartments in the house of a sort could be cool. Vaults in the drywall, for instance?

I love the concept of building forts etc. as well, huge part of my childhood.

John Wick is a well known franchise. Perhaps not quite mass market.

Dune?

I understand there's a culture of letting your kids do whatever they want. I see it every day. It doesn't make it right and more importantly doesn't transfer responsibility to someone else.

I don't find this convincing at all. The parents failing here are elder millennials with a smattering of young gen Xers: digital natives. They're being lazy and stupid, and they should know better after being on the Internet at similar ages as their kids.

Bro come on. At some point a parent has to take responsibility here. Why would anyone let their kids just hop onto these websites without doing basic due diligence or educating them on the reality of predators?

If a platform provides robust parental controls then they've done enough, full stop. The baton of responsibility is passed.

I think the numbers have always been gamed. CPI and inflation in particular. It's hilarious that the US talks so much shit about the lack of transparency in China when it's a half step better here at best.

There are independent analysts who do a decent job of telling a more realistic story. Someone has value for reality - consider the Harris campaign's internal polling algorithms who knew she'd lost weeks in advance. Mainstream polls have been just worthless propaganda for more than a decade but the real thing is somewhere.

It's frustrating though. Knowing we have the technical ability to tell the truth, but choose not to. Having to expend the extra effort to find where it's hidden or synthesize it against the dishonesty in the official system.

I felt this a couple months ago. Ozempic, self-driving cars, LLMs, humanoid robots, and Mars-capable spaceships all in the past 3 years. We're in a new era, no getting around it.

Simplistic, but my atheistic interpretation was always just this as well.

I had two playlists. One I've shared previously, which is roughly my "Best of: All Time" list truncated down to 100 tracks.

"Funny" Anecdote about SW - they have (had?) one of the most sociopathic and dysfunctional IT departments I've ever worked with. One of two clients my firm has ever fired.

I realized I didn't see your first paragraph. If you are interested in bikepacking I highly recommend taking the plunge on a 3-night route or something. It is still very hard - I would train at least a month or two beforehand - but a route that's rated a 5 or so on that site is doable with grit. Finding even a single friend to join you will make it a lot more fun.

Anything in particular blocking you or giving you second thoughts?
