intensely_human,

Oh really? Have you ever eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

intensely_human,

Well it’s some setting. I recently made the switch and now I’m hearing random songs I haven’t heard in years. It’s actually sampling my whole collection as far as I can tell.

intensely_human,

You can definitely make a truly random shuffle that doesn’t play the same song twice within a gap of ten songs.

You just make a list of all the song IDs that aren’t in the last ten played, and grab an item at a random index.

Randomness is a texture not a shape. Dice are random despite only being able to present six outcomes.

intensely_human,

“rule” might be the right verb here

intensely_human,

Hamas is holding hostages and Israel’s deciding to kill those hostages.

intensely_human,

My smartphone is mega useful to me:

  • Step tracking. I can see trends in how much physical activity I’m getting
  • Alarm clock
  • Reminders and lists. I use features like “Remind me at 7 pm that I need to do X” many times per day
  • Google maps and especially transit directions are incredible. Being able to download offline maps is great too for when I’m traveling
  • Ultra high resolution camera in my pocket
  • Google’s been great for the last 20 years. Now GPT-4 is my go-to when I have a quejaron about anything
  • Being able to call people is handy

intensely_human,

We’re all about the transparency over here in the States. We believe in the free flow of information.

intensely_human,

Yeah but airlines don’t exist to lose people’s luggage. Doesn’t really fit this question. Companies do, indeed, exist to make money.

intensely_human,

Can you link to an example of this excusing?

intensely_human,

Cite the statute then

intensely_human,

Do these term sheets specify the timeframe in which the profit is to be judged? A company could lose money for a few years on paper investing into some new business venture, then yield lots of profit in the last year.

intensely_human,

It’s not so much an argument as a definition.

What’s the actual question you’re trying to answer?

intensely_human,

This. You have to be a fucking monster to think a missing person shouldn’t be found.

intensely_human,

What you need is an inclusive place

intensely_human,

Why would I read what you wrote when my one and only downvote appeared at the same time as your comment? If you want to talk, be polite.

intensely_human,

As we sit in a capitalist society surrounded by incredible technology zero people could afford ten years ago.

Yeah capitalism. Always ruining everything 🙄

intensely_human,

Also I’m 40

intensely_human,

As my first zen teacher once so eloquently put it, “The past and the future Do. Not. Exist.”

intensely_human,

That’s not true

intensely_human,

Also like, we’re the proof of that.

People from 1,000 years ago would not believe we could be suffering at all, given our level of wealth.

intensely_human,

Incidentally, I think this phenomenon of appreciating the present by looking through the lens of a future where it’s lost, is the basis of the band name The Grateful Dead.

intensely_human,

Stripped to the bone

intensely_human,

Are canals at sea level, and now diked off to be dry? Or would they have had locks back when this ship was sailing?

intensely_human,

So uh … how does a ship sink on land? Was the sea level higher then? Is the ship between low and high tide lines? Was there a tsunami?
