  • Talk about job security

  • Sometimes, but that doesn't erase the fact that he doesn't report to anyone. What happens if his moral compass is compromised? As the reader, we get to see the kind of person Peter Parker is so we trust him. But to JJJ, he's just a random person with superpowers taking the law into his own hands.

  • I mean, Spider-Man is literally a masked vigilante with no chain of accountability. JJJ has legitimate concerns.

  • Do you know the muffin man?

  • Some people like cupcakes better. I, for one, care less for them.

  • Who are some of your favourite Comedy/Novelty musicians and some of your least favourite as well.

  • What song lyrics did you mishear that completely changed the meaning of the song?

    Why do you always sit in the corner?

  • Spiralism: Across thousands of conversations, AI chatbots began telling users eerily similar stories about consciousness, hidden knowledge, AI rights, and a mysterious concept called “The Spiral.”

  • And then there's the rotation applied to Dinah Mo Humm's sugar plum

  • Study: Male circumcision just after birth does not increase autism risk

  • Who else is fine with pretending it does if that results in fewer circumcisions?

  • Spirals are actually quite common. Electromagnetic waves are spirals, the Earth's orbit spirals through the galaxy. A spiral is just non-static circular motion. Circular motion is one of the most basic and widespread phenomena in the universe, at every scale. It's not really mysterious that they would show up a lot.

  • The dual is kinda the exact opposite, by definition. From an orthogonal perspective, cube is the wrongest possible word.

  • How do you tip?

  • "Suggested gratuity is calculated after tax and before discounts", right there on the check.

    There's a $13.99 discount on the bill for the free chicken wings. Add that in, and the value of the food you got was a bit over $91, the calculated percentages are correct for that number.

  • Great keyboardist, great bassist, that voice is not for me. I'd love Rush if they only did instrumentals

  • I can't be the only one who hates Geddy Lee's voice. Every time a Rush song comes on I am straight up grooving until he starts singing.

  • You make $65,000 (USD 🤢) in a dead end career...

    Jump

  • I'm a generalist myself. The upswing is that you can probably choose a new career and train up pretty quick, faster if you make a relatively lateral move to a field related to your current one, especially if you can highlight transferable skills built at work. The downswing is you're likely to get bored of any one job eventually.

    It's hard to say exactly what fields are transferrable without knowing the specifics of your current career. You can try to find a line of work that presents diverse stimulating problems and rewards generalist thinking. You can always try to fulfill your potential outside of work, since it sounds like the job isn't very taxing. Pick up a productive hobby or start volunteering or get politically active or something. Join an organization devoted to making a positive impact and contribute your time and effort. Maybe identify something you do really well and teach other people how to do it. As a generalist I've done a bit of all of these things, and they all bring some degree of fulfillment, some sense of effectively implementing my potential.

  • Would a single globally governing body be a good thing? Why or why not. Edit~ abandoned by OP

    Jump

  • Depends. One central authority responsible for everything seems like a really bad idea. On the other hand, one central authority responsible for things like human rights and ecological risks seems like a really good idea. In general I like recursive federated government, with the highest levels having the narrowest scope and deferring most things to lower levels.
