Came here to say exactly this. Mindscape is great, with lots of interesting guests and topics. And new episodes come fairly frequently, 1-2 a month i think

Where are those 99$ coming from? Who is actually paying this money? Because it seems like so far everybody is losing money with no reversal of this trend in sight

> But is it really much better in reality? Aren't we getting more and more distanced either way? Yes, and yes. We are getting more distanced, but clearly the online/digital interactions are amplifying this in an extreme way. Li

Wow that is a one scary intense trailer. Hard to believe we are not witnessing some kind of serious psychopathology right there

Same. I am also trying to unfuck my brain using pen and paper each day. Got a nice Lamy fountain pen and a notebook I like and I try to write as much as I can each day. Even if most of it is trivial, I still think it’s beneficial because it

One of IJ’s most important topics is the critique of the empty destructive postmodern cynicism that you are referring to. Wallace was in fact trying his best to do more than just reflect. One of IJ’s main and most likeable characters, Mario

There is an algorithm to the HM feed and there are definitely recommendations. We are both posting in this thread because it has made it to the main page because people upvoted it. That’s the algorithm/recommendation system.

There are free open source tools that convert osm data into 3D models, for example https://osm2world.org/ . Also you could use freely available national 3d point cloud data, at least for some areas. both are $0 options. btw

Please do post the tutorial. Also, your RTS looks great, I will definitely check it out!

That’s fair. I just fear the justice system or whatever it should be to decide what the “truth” is might not be up to the task or not that interested in truth anymore. Like for example there’s this one person that everybody in the world kno

> let reality teach me what it required This resonates with me. I think it takes balls to leave the comfort zone and test our assumptions against the real world, to get actual feedback, good or bad. I think now it’s easier than ever to j

One example to illustrate: when talking about dying, Americans would kick the bucket, Poles would kick the calendar, French would break the pipe, Germans would drop the spoon, and the Spanish would pull the leather. But they all would be re

Asking THE sex trafficker pimp extraordinaire about the contact data of a “redhead”… I guess you CAN read this whole interaction as benevolent if you squint hard enough to the point that the nature of this guy’s transactions with people bec

The mouse seems like the most obvious choice for mobility. Other than that: pens? Or maybe lock the phone inside for a distraction free environment

But is mobility really what they were going for? I’m not sure, because they also purposefully increased the size and weight by adding the frunk

To me, Mankind Divided felt amputated. Like the story was just ramping up and then suddenly here’s the final boss fight out of the blue, thanks for playing! I feel like they intended to do much more but run out of money or time

Amazing game, but I was really shocked when it was suddenly over, at what felt like not even 50% of what I expected the duration/story to be. But truly amazing visuals, ambience and world building in general.

Great, now Claude will sound even more generic. It’s not only annoying - it’s also dumb. We are all correct to push back on this load-bearing issue

Yes, or the question is how much of both are you really engaged with and will remember at all. And then if you do, maybe the information was crap and not worthy of your attention anyway. I think anything really worth doing is worth doing at

This is how I did it: this is about two things: mornings and evenings and both need attention. Set a new wake up time. Deduct 7 hours from it. Deduct one more for buffer. This tells you when you need to be in bed with lights out and trying

My point is this: all these photos show smiling happy people and great historical moments such as the first man in space. But the every day life for the most part was very different. I am not arguing that these scenes never happened, I’m ju

I’m not sure about the pinnacle, but for me plumbing definitely makes it to the list of the top 100 most important human achievements, at least as far as sanitation, health and quality of life goes

You’d be surprised how many people there are in the West who picture USSR as some kind of a magical world run by elves and fairies. Left-leaning French academics is one such group worth calling out directly. Their (partly justified) hatred

More like: USSR propaganda in 100 photographs. One “man in space” vs millions of people devoid of plumbing and basic products, all living in a repressive orwellian society. The aftermath is still tangible: former satellite states are even a

Just “voting” is not sufficient. In fact, voting for the “wrong” people got us here. This guy won because people voted for him. Twice! How about: please always vote for the person who seems the least likely to fuck up the present and the fu
