  • What fact has made your life better?

    Jump

  • Not a single fact, but reading about science and history makes me feel better about the state of the world whenever I'm feeling anxious.

  • What's a strange food combination you love?

    Jump

  • Applesauce and white bread. Potato chips and ketchup.

  • And all goods and services require some amount of humans putting in work in order for them to be provided. Nothing is truly 100% automated yet.

  • But labor is a necessity to survive, and always has been. We need the production of goods and services. Of course the distribution of wealth and goods is also an issue, but somebody (or something) has to produce the things we use.

  • Not yet, but it's an interesting thought experiment if nothing else. Someday, thanks to advances in robotics and computers, human labor will become largely obsolete. So the question is how do we structure our society when that happens?

  • Obey the beard

    Jump

  • This is like the worst picture of Rainn from this episode. Loved him as Harry Mudd.

  • How Much Have You Lost?

    Jump

  • But if you believe that other people believe something has value, then you also believe it has value. You wouldn't accept money for something if you believed it had no value.

  • Are we being taught to love the panopticon?

    Jump

  • You can have conversations IRL that nobody will monitor or have any record of. I swear, people these days have forgotten how to exist in the real world.

  • Are we being taught to love the panopticon?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't call moderated internet communities a panopticon. You can opt out at any time, which is pretty antithetical to the definition of a panopticon.

    Do dogs sense it when you misgender them?

    Jump

  • No, dogs have no concept of gender identity.

  • Nope

  • What is it with tuxedos and wrestling or boxing?

    Jump

  • Because humans are social animals, and these sorts of customs are signals to each other that we're all willing to abide by the social rules our societies follow.

  • Any tips to start eating fish?

    Jump

  • If you found salmon bland, then "fishy" tasting fish probably won't be a problem for you. Cod is a very mild and delicious fish and it's what I would have recommended.

    If fishiness isn't going to bother you then you can probably cook it any way you want. Oven roasted or pan seared would be good bets. If you wanted something to make it delicious and not mask the taste too much, fried fish in a simple batter can't be beat imo.

  • How do you plan to cool down your apartment this summer?

  • Air conditioner

  • I got the YouTube premium family plan a long time ago. Been worth every penny for the amount of YouTube we watch.

    I know it's an unpopular opinion, but if there was one streaming service I was gonna pay for it'd be YT premium. You can pirate everything else pretty easily.

  • What's a time when you felt like you woke up and the universe had just changed?

    Jump

  • 9/11. It was the only time in my life I saw newspapers publish extra editions.

    For those too young, extra edition as in "extra, extra, read all about it," when a news story is so big that the newspapers publish a whole nother edition later in the day.

  • Judge disses Star Trek icon Data’s poetry while ruling AI can’t author works

    Jump

  • Data's poem was written by real people trying to sound like a machine.

    ChatGPT's poems are written by a machine trying to sound like real people.

    While I think "Ode to Spot" is actually a good poem, it's kind of a valid point to make since the TNG writers were purposely trying to make a bad one.
