Thanks for reminding me of this. For those not aware, in 2016 Spez secretly edited users’ reddit comments. It’s fascinating that he survived as CEO after that given that it shows an absolutely breathtaking failure of judgment and self-control.
Figs fresh off the tree.
A Nokia 3330 if I remember correctly.
Most people I know hate it, but I absolutely love the feeling of a fly crawling on my arms or legs. It gives me this wonderful comfortable tingling sensation and I can’t get enough of it.
Even if AI did make psychology redundant in a couple of years (which I’d bet my favourite blanket it won’t), what are the alternatives? If AI can take over a field that is focused more than most others on human interaction, personal privacy, thoughts, feelings, and individual perceptions, then it can take over almost any other field before that. So you might as well go for it while you can.
A bit morbid, but there’s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths. Features stuff like:
Sergio Millán, 59, was alone in his apartment in Torreforta, Tarragona, Spain, when an explosion in a petrochemical plant 3 kilometres (2 mi) away launched a one-ton iron plate into the apartment above him, causing the ceiling to collapse, killing him.
or
Vladimir Likhonos, 25, a student of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute from Konotop, was killed when his chewing gum exploded. Likhonos had a habit of dipping his chewing gum in citric acid to increase the gum’s sour taste. On his work table police found about 100 grams (3.5 oz) of unidentified explosive powder which he used for chemistry studies at home. It resembled citric acid, and it is thought that he confused the two, having accidentally coated his gum in the explosive powder before chewing it. The explosive was found to be four times stronger than TNT, and the explosion was possibly triggered either by reacting with Likhonos’s saliva, or the pressure exerted by him chewing on the gum and explosive powder.
No idea, a capybara maybe?
I get almost all literature for my papers from libgen and scihub. I even have access to a lot or journals through my uni’s VPN, but it’s just much simpler and quicker to use the open seas.
My justification is that a) scientific journal publishers are evil and a scourge on humankind, and b) on average, I only need like 1% of the info in such literature, so I would never buy it anyway, which means that me pirating it doesn’t affect sales in any way.
I have no idea what this is about but I love the meme template.
Yes. (I’m a protestant Christian.)
I mean I live in Berlin…
I sing in an amateur choir led by a professional singer, and his voice is the purest, warmest, cleanest sound you can imagine. I melt every time he sings a solo or demonstrates part of a song to us.
I see, that sucks. But maybe it’s worth trying opening up again with certain people. Not everybody is like that.
Why don’t you tell people?
Good choice. For all the flaws the film might have, it perfectly accomplishes what it sets out to do: it genuinely fucking scares you.
How much does that cost?
