Shunnnn. Shun the nonbeliever.

Off topic, but this gives me a craving to play Stranded Deep. Fun game.

Me too, pay $175 for a yearly subscription and read it at dinner everyday. My kids read the comics, and my wife does the crosswords. I’ve found tons of interesting things about local news, even some obits, that I never would have found online. Well worth the cost.

All great advice. Do this, and good luck!

“This ain’t a scene, it’s an arms race” by Fallout Boy. Been stuck in my head for a week now.

Naw, come on, now I want to hear it.

And maybe that is the case, but even so, I can’t comprehend that happening given the advancement in the last 100 years. Such an unknown. (Honestly, I think I’d be cool with printed announcements in the town square.)

You just know they were standing there thinking “this is incredible technology. I can’t imagine how it can get more advanced than this”. Makes me think all the time how we can’t even begin to comprehend what the next 100 years looks like.

2026 is underway!

On the comments for that one, it said “Ho-gazm” is what they think.

Ask them to look at their credit card bills or grocery receipts from January 2024 and January 2026. Just compare. If they’re better off, super, vote however you want. If literally everything in their life is apples to apples more expensive in 2 years’ time, like double, let the numbers do the explaining.

Smarter Everyday has only gotten better and better as he has grown in notoriety. Fantastic content, and not beholden to sponsors.

Ah yes, name calling. What a mature way to handle the situation.

You understand that there are a lot of people alive before the internet existed, right? And if this person is relating a story from their childhood, and they’re anywhere over like 35 years old, us old people couldn’t just “go on the internet”.

I miss listening to EITM. Great show, made me laugh everyday. This probably wouldn’t have, but that show is a DMV classic.

Ok, but wait. Why would there be no traffic? I know that near the middle/end of ep 2 she says how many millions died during the “transition”. And we have seen sparse roads like when she’s driving the scooter to the airport to fly the plane. But what keeps nagging at me is that stuff still needs to happen. People still need to go to the power plant to make power to allow the chef to cook your food and power your mansion. Someone still needs to mine fossil fuels for you to put in your bikes. Someone still needs to plow the roads in the snow and patch the potholes and make the vehicles that do those things and the clothes you wear and… even if it’s a hive mind, and happy people, someone still needs to keep the lights on the and the sewers working and all that creates traffic. Even if everyone knows how to do everything, there is still transit and shipping. I dunno. I like the idyllic Italian coast setup, don’t get me wrong, but I have been tossing around the rest of that for a while also.

Just seems like there is such universal interest in ‘releasing’ them that something should have leaked by now. You hear the argument about the moon landing or other conspiracy theories that it would take so many people colluding to hide the truth it would be impossible not to leak, how many people have access to “the files”, and if there is a vote to release them, who just pushes the button or whatever to make that happen? (And in no way am I suggesting they are not real and only a conspiracy theory, just giving an analogy)

Or the market…

Isn’t this what the tarot card said from the Washington DC sniper? Lived there during that time and remember something along those lines.

My son takes this and we had no idea it was recalled. Thank you for sharing this article.
