Maybe I should re-translate this and replace each "man" with "woman" and each "his" with "her".

"Woman has achieved great things!"

I think it slaps even harder that way!

Why must people write using Man instead of Humanity? His instead of Our?

I get that it's "just language" but it's a bit annoying. That's all.

Sry, missed the /s.

I figured if you were as crazy as OP about "optimizing" then sitting doing nothing would surely be anathema.

Similar to doing nothing being valuable, sometimes doing something "optimally", just isn't worth it -- how do you enjoy cooking a meal you've never cooked before of You're trying to hyper optimally meal prep for the week?

The reinforced hill in Japan is fascinating. For stability during earthquakes?

Doing absolutely nothing is not optimal

Technically you can skip to the end of the game in the opening scene, so I guess you can ignore all of it. Very weird credits!

I was trying to find all the answers. Afaik, you had some way of knowing how many puzzles were remaining? Eh, both great games. Myst and Riven definitely have more of the "if you can't solve this you're stuck" vibe, I'd agree.

I'll check it out, thanks!

What does the optimization make time for? What is the goal? Maximum accumulation of resources? Health? Happiness? If I save ten minutes by meal prepping, do I have to optimize _those_ ten minutes?

Now define a soul! /s

May I ask for the Toyota Scion XB manual from 2005/2006? Scion always seems to be left out of make/model lists :(

If you press a plus button four times, then you have to press back four times to leave the site.

> The Witness understands that huge challenge is completely fine, so long as it's isolated to a specific virtual space, such as a given panel and room

What about all of the puzzles that use the environment? There are all sorts of challenges that use the island/features. Really enjoyed that game. Good sense of progression and learning without teaching.

But what if it is a court, not a male or female person?

Still maybe better to say "Court in Philippines..."

Didn't Samsung and Apple have a tiff over the shape of the phone? "Rectangle with rounded corners"

Well, as someone living in the United States, I live with the saddening understanding that our military spending indicates that we're willing to immiserate large swaths of the world's population for increasingly diminishing returns.

It's authoritarian enough that I have no choice but to support our military decisions through the taxes I pay.

Yes! Because you can remove your deposits from the bank and they also have to pay you interest on that balance. Your mortgage is an asset to the bank for the opposite reasons.

Alpha beta unlimited revised Arabian nights 4th edition ice age mirage etc etc. I'm sure that's all wrong but I used to know it by heart. I keep my cards in old motherboard boxes !

I prefer living through an earthquake than not!

Because they are one and the same?

Nope. Real person, sorry! Yes i make a new account every time I lose my ddg session. Not llm spam. Just a very opinionated human/dog

This happens to me almost every night before falling asleep. I like to think I'm actually just composing what I'm hearing in my head! It almost always takes on a genre like bluegrass or orchestral or electronic. Very cool I enjoy self-made illusions!

"healthy" in that "you won't die" -- not necessarily "healthy" as in "ideal for maintaining peak health". That's probably a bad comparison... But I'm not sure that you can count out the importance of the intestinal microbiome. It's not just vitamins or metals--one can be deficient in beneficial bacteria as well. These bacteria are why we can "throw anything" at our intestines. That's true until the good bacteria have nothing left to sustain them and die off.

It seems like you're angrily describing an ideal that you would be ecstatic to achieve, but have no confidence you could ever reach. Just the fact that you _know_ what is hypocrisy (e.g. imported avocados) is a move in the right direction. Without a sense of the ideal, how could you be pragmatic? I think there will always be a vanguard of humanity that is willing to push towards the ideal -- that drags the rest of us pragmatists kicking and screaming into the future.

"Political winds change" like a US backed coup in 2009 that put the guy in power who made these laws? What international institution protects against that? Are countries bound by law if it was made by an illegitimate government?
