honestly so confusing

You could use a credit union.

Reminds me of It's a Wonderful Life.

"Humor" is right.

good point

I think everyone's just getting sick of rich kids

so much poop in the grass though

clicked for art found weird animal people

how micro is micro? how big is this thing?

I think I read something like this in a Schopenhauer book on Free Will: if you admit of a precognition (or subconscious) can't you, by the same reasoning, say that the subconscious has a sub-subconscious, etc?

> if you never have heard of terms like "efference copy" it will be interesting food for thought about what consciousness might be

Can you expand on this? I think I kind of understand where you're going with this: consciousness might be an efference copy of our actions? (so our actions don't "surprise" us? rather than consciousness creating actions?)

Thanks for the thoughtful response. Gave me a lot to think about. You're right about the current school system being contrived.

Like you say though, there's no real alternative. I wish there was something else with widespread adoption.

Lots to think about here.

send them to school so they can be with their peers, I implore you

is the internet bad for me? should I just quit it? kind of sounds like "intrusive thought"

> What's most disturbing is the realization that a measurable percentage of humans are just f*cked up.

yeah I think that's the theme of David Lynch movies

> It also suggests that the apocalyptic movies may not be so far off when they suggest that humanity will revert to open barbarism if we're faced with a catastrophy large enough.

I think that's disproven - I saw a study where they looked at peoples' behaviour during the WWII London bombings and it was mostly characterized by Mutual Aid

oh no what if the fishermen kill the birds

nothing makes sense anymore

I remembered Reuters doing an expose on this about five years ago so I couldn't empathize at all with the opening of this Vice article.

This might actually be a better article. Shows some examples of how the bodies are set up to be blown up:

Wonder how many people would sign their bodies up for military testing if they made the distinction.

Do they ask people already in the military if they want to donate their bodies for military testing?

Thanks for validating my hatred of those IKEA paintings lol. Close-up zebras, black and white picture of Amsterdam with a red bicycle...

plz restrict all ads

what?

yeah, article sounds like my experience trying to rent in Kits a few years ago.

how do you know its not worth the effort if you've never had it?

how patronizing

you'll get out of your rut, OP. it's normal to not like your job.

Yeah, it sure is ugly!

Same! the google maps m! is just too good for me not to use DDG. (does Google have an equivalent?)

Just when I thought I'd read it all:

> many observers were sure Tau could have done better if he had not been chased nearly a mile off course by wild dogs.

Do all black midi songs sound like anime music?

"That time I stood in a film set for 30 mins then someone kindly asked me to leave which I did"

007 over here... hahaha

yeah, even if you're in awe of the technology it's a pretty crappy movie with a bad score.
