Other fields as well, such as books: the aim isn't to publish good books, just as many as possible to say "look at how much I'm producing!"

It's very hard for the models to understand it, since they don't understand anything and never will

Also it's bullshit

I love a good conspiracy, but it's depressing to know that one is true and that it was entirely centred around wanting to abuse women and children

"Here's why women don't like you. Do this thing"

*Does thing*
It didn't work, what gives

"Try this *more extreme* thing" etc

Fair enough, everyone's different

I think that's why looksmaxxing/pua/manosphere in general is so appealing to young men - it's an easy answer, and because it's wrong it becomes a cycle that perpetuates.

Growing up I was always given the advice "just be yourself", but if you hate yourself that's not helpful advice

You need to learn to like yourself, which is really hard

They, unfortunately, have all the routes covered as potential recruitment

Thing is, going that route it's easy to fall into looksmaxxing, which is another far right pipeline

If they are delisted, does that just mean that they can't be bought, or can they also not be downloaded?

Not only that, but their complaints also show that they don't understand how those things work in real life, let alone in the fictional universe

I've just finished Cocoon

That was incredible. Some of the puzzles at the end made me feel like my brain was melting

I have no idea what was going on

Finally finished the body which took absolutely ages.

Since the pressure is off, I'll embellish the sleeves more than I originally intended

I'm not sure of the history - I hadn't heard it until my wife said it, so it might be a Scottish thing

It's an idiom to say "what you just said is irrelevant"

I never understood the (thankfully short lived) trend of using "earnestness" as a negative, because believing in stuff is lame I suppose?

It's always 30 years. It's basically people pushing 40 (like myself) and wistfully reminiscing about when they didn't have adult responsibility

For self hosting, I would wonder about liability - if it's managed by a third party, and it lets someone in, it's their fault. If you host it and it lets someone in, it's your fault?

- discontent, frustration at not understanding something helps drive them to push our understanding of the universe

Art is someone trying to communicate with others - being content and connected means no more art

On the one hand, enlightenment would be awesome
On the other, individuals with varying passions and beliefs is what beautiful

Scientific advancement would utterly stagnate if researchers were just content all the time

Despite being an introverted misanthrope, Plur1bus is making me appreciate existing in a society filled with people regardless of whether I dislike them or not

As someone with a penchant for Buddhist phenomenology, I feel conflicted.

Imho, such fines should be a large proportion of the money gained from the crime - make it so that crime doesn't pay

The "key in car" detector keeps not detecting my keys, so I personally would rather be able to have the old method
