I remember those, it was a subverted ‘How to’ channel. Maybe hacks in the name?

Treasure Planet and Atlantis are two of the best. They go well together too.
- Comment on Let's hear it, little lemmings. 6 days ago:
Didn’t Ramanujan write to a Cambridge professor? His English would be great. Colonial India—a lot of elites would’ve had knowledge of English.

Literally a Renaissance man.

Interesting that he said that, given how much he dunks on philosophers.

Fair point. Probably not very separate to begin with, but definitely so now.

Seconding the bread for sure. German bread (especially rye) is a real treat, and most larger supermarkets have bakeries in them.

I’m also from the Midwest and I lived in Munich for a year. It’s a lovely place. The groceries were cheaper and fresher/better quality, the food was great, public transit was incredibly useful (I’m not sure how it fares in/to Grunwald, but the transit in Munich is quite extensive). At least near the city, most neighborhoods are fairly walkable and have nice neighborhood shops, cafes, etc.
If you’ve been to Aldi in the US at all, definitely check out a German Aldi. It’s next level and amazing. Fresh sliced bread, falafel, mango lassi… I miss it.

Truth to the legends… there’s a reason two separate religious codes banned consumption of pork.
- Comment on If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs? 2 weeks ago:
Yup. Everyone turns to 1984 as the dystopia of our time, but it’s really Brave New World, and it’s always been. Even Huxley said as much in a letter to George Orwell, lol.
- Comment on If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs? 3 weeks ago:
Exactly. Everything needs to be peak consumerism, or else their model of “line on the graph infinitely goes up” shatters. It’s a Brave New World dystopia.
- Comment on THIS is always the correct response 3 weeks ago:
Don’t have to move on platonically, though. More friends is always nice.

A Plague Tale really is a master work by Olivier Deriviere. Take a listen here.

The Snufkin profile picture paired with that comment really makes this absurdly hilarious for me.

Also adding a data point for Optery. I’m sure the other services are comparable, though. Most have free trials.

I will share and highly recommend this resource: CCI’s Self Help Resources. There are various pages for different types of dilemmas, and most of them take you to self-directed workbooks you can fill out yourself. They’re not only informative, but they also guide you through your thinking about these issues and how to deal with them and grow from them.

Lysistrata, then.
