This is the story of non-free software. Software was mostly given and traded openly until good 'ol Bill Gates en.wikipedia.org/…/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists

kool_newt,

Great idea! It’s up to us to preserve culture, we can’t leave it to those only motivated by profit otherwise cultural history will be lost when it becomes unprofitable.

And since we’re not coordinating, I’d better make sure I preserve the bits of culture important to me.

kool_newt,

Many of these are self-selecting neighborhoods though, these are not the result of oppressive policies.

kool_newt,

Sounds get amplified, my neighbor joked I was running a factory etc, it was just me, mostly barefoot, sometimes vacuuming.

kool_newt,

So, people can’t walk around their own apartment? If I pay rent, I expect to be able to walk around my apartment as much as I want, even wearing shoes, this is not unreasonable. This is a building code problem, not your neighbors being assholes.

There’s a huge difference between walking in one’s own apartment and throwing raging parties and stuff like that.

kool_newt,

Asking is of course fine.

kool_newt,

It really isn’t that hard to be tolerant of someone wanting to move about their own home.

kool_newt,

Money is a hell of a drug.

kool_newt,

Leave your ID with the bag of deuce to ensure your return.

kool_newt,

I got some shit trees at the dispensary, I thought that was bad.

kool_newt,

Poop is quite good at spreading disease though, which is also natural. A sustainable animal population leaving poop is different than a hiking trail that adds quite a bit to the load of poop the environment has to handle.

I wonder if there are some good practical reasons though. Like if they were to do this with real towels it could potentially be heavy and dangerous. If a bunch of towels did fall, it would be significant work to put them back, and now they’d be dirty from the floor the public has been walking all over.

Also, the fluorescent lights fade stuff pretty quick so if they didn’t cycle inventory fast enough you’d see fading, and they’d fade at different rates due to being exposed for different lengths of time and look weird.

kool_newt,

Fuck towel authoritarians!

kool_newt,

Ah ya, I could see that.

they would have done better with just a gigantic poster of ferris bueller in a towel.

You are a marketing genius!

But also, I think it’s just a trend in the U.S. For a while there, and kinda still, warehouse stores are in style; I think because of the reputation for good deals from places like Costco and Ikea, I think other companies thought if they pretend to be a bit of a warehouse people will think they’re getting low prices because money was saved on decor. 'Muricans are easy to fool this way.

kool_newt,

I wonder if some orcas were trained to do this by some country and then released and it spread. Militaries do weird shit.

kool_newt,

Definitely drives a Tesla

kool_newt,

Ya huh? We’ve evolved from dork to douche?

Can anyone else feel sensations in their brain?

Last time I checked there aren’t nerve endings in our brain, so it should be impossible to feel sensations in my brain. However, at random times during my life, like seeing the plot twist in Fight Club for example, I’ve felt feelings in my brain. I just felt it again now while doing some intense introspection, and I just...

kool_newt,

You need to wash your hair.

But it’s only December!

Sometimes my hair hurts

In 2005, Curve25519 was first released by Daniel J. Bernstein.[5] (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519)

DJB? Nice! Always been a fan.

kool_newt,

since there’s never a time when the curtain is pulled back on it

In antiquity maybe, but in modern times with access to information – Adulthood, that’s when one should have the mental faculties to understand that organized religion is a scam.

It’s one thing to believe that there may be more than science can currently demonstrate or worlds we can’t access, it’s another to believe the stories organized religions are based on.
