Fingers crossed hoping this was always the plan

What’s the opposite of a helper?

Read up on Discordianism. Fight the horrors with silliness.

Is that why Jews say “la chyme” before they drink, since it’s going into their stomach?

The low 000s are all generally pretty meta subjects, how we interact with and organize knowledge in general. Journalism and library science deal with reporting and classifying information, computers and programming deal with processing generic data, unexplained phenomena deals with things that can’t be assigned to a specific subject by their very nature.

Witchcraft, Feng Shui, and Tarot are all generally found in 133 (Parapsychology and Occultism), although I could imagine particularly high-level books to be sorted into 003 (Systems), since they are supposed to be comprehensive systems.

Books about computer hardware would be next to electronics. Computer science is where it is because it’s a more abstract topic about general information processing. If anything, I’d argue that fundamental mathematics belongs in the 000s with it.

At least you save money on shoes

To be fair, it’s one 24-hr shift all year. 24-on/8,741-off isn’t a bad schedule.

You can become a multi-millionaire through honest hard work and responsibility. There are plenty of multi-millionaires who live the lifestyle you describe.

You can’t really become a billionaire that way. You become a billionaire by being a greedy, manipulative narcissist, obsessed with wealth and power. That’s who you see doing this shit.

I occasionally apologize for being white when I roll up my pants legs in direct sunlight, but I don’t think that’s what he’s talking about.

Hadn’t read that one before. Fun.

Strange to see an Unsong reference in the wild

The barrier to entry would’ve been way higher on the “understanding computers” front than “critical thinking”. I feel like that might’ve made the tech-bro trend worse in the long run.

Which still side steps the inevitability of social media.

The 1990s?

I like this. What if we just start redacting him from everything?

Huh, TIL

I mean, maybe that’s just your algorithm? All the AI music I’ve seen has been goofy novelty stuff like Obscure Vinyl, which I sought out intentionally and doesn’t affect my other listening. They haven’t pushed anything I didn’t look for.

What do you mean “music slop”? I’ve found tons of great music through Spotify recommendations.

The majority of the cool music I’ve found has been through carefully curating a playlist, and then going to Playlist Radio.

Snail shells aren’t chitinous.

Crab shells are chitinous.

Hermit crabs are only partly chitinous, and the shells they use are not chitinous.

Hope that helps
