Brother, that’s pretty hard stuff from my perspective.
Come to Oregon. Buy some mushroom gummies. Stare at the lake and the trees for a couple hours.
My sister recently got a cancer diagnosis. I flew her out here for that exact purpose. Did her a world of good. - Comment on Being honest - same answer for me 3 hours ago:
I hate all the plastic I waste. And I aint super hygienic about it, re-use em a couple times.
But I love those things.
I have 2 dental implants. Flossing is not optional.
And implants are about $5,000 + 1 year of your life. Its an investment you don’t want to re-do.
I’m not some dental saint here, I lost those teeth originally through poor care. I brush once or twice daily, but I floss after every meal. - Comment on Unified Theory of American Reality 3 hours ago:
Look, that all sounds very nice for civilized people. But childhood itself is a creation of civilization. Childhood didn’t exist until we had the leisure to allow it. And now civilization has progressed to the point where children don’t really ever have to grow up or assume care of themselves and others. Ya see em sleeping in tents on the corner. Still 12. No bills, no cares. Can you spare a dollar?

My point was more about what you need to do in response, rather than the exact level of lack of maturity you are facing. I think modeling the moron as if they were a child gives good predictive power and suggests management strategies one may employ.

Meh. A bottle of 2.5 valiums is great for me when I visit Mexico, but where I live marijuana and mushrooms are available in government licensed stores. No scrip. Just walk in and buy what you want. We got drugs in Oregon.

I think its good that you had to read something you didn’t agree with in school. Look what its done for you.
Get over high school. Soon enough, you won’t remember Ms. Brown’s name.
- Comment on Unified Theory of American Reality 14 hours ago:
Ya, that struck me as real truth. It’s a nice summary, gets quickly to the root of the problem. If you are facing yet another moron, this elucidates what’s going. People do not aspire to mature beyond 5th grade anymore. Adjust your strategies accordingly.

No. That is not at all correct!
To start with, we have 8 fingers. Have you noticed? Count them. 8.
And, they are known as ‘digits’. That’s a clue for us.
And finally, there are 8 binary digits in an IPv4 octet.Humans evolved with 8 fingers so that we would have 8 digits to do binary math on our knuckles. That’s what I do with mine, anyway. (I’m studying for the CCNA.)

- Comment on #freepenisman 5 days ago:
Well, no. It’s not an army. I guess I’ve met a few of them. They hang at the Palo Verde Tavern in Tempe. Buncha paint fume addled wackos. ‘Artists’.
- Comment on #freepenisman 5 days ago:
I graduated high school in Tempe AZ. There’s a bar I always visit when I go back called the Palo Verde Tavern. It’s a speakeasy in this modern age, barely legal. It’s infested with graffiti artists. At times, the paint fumes out back are so bad that I won’t even smoke dope there. Psycho art freaks with spray cans.
Anyway, Penis Man is one of those guys. I’ve seen his thing on the wall. I don’t remember shit other than that phrase.
- Comment on A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they have real life plot armour 2 weeks ago:
Ya, I guess. That’s a reasonable description, but what I see there is people first playing with some basic ideas about how the world works.
You have to manipulate and work with those ideas in order to really internalize what they mean. That can come out a little clumsy at first.Some familiarity with the literature doesn’t hurt either. So, take this comment about being the only one in the universe. Later on, this person may read about Boltzman Brains, and they will come to understand that this idea has been thoroughly chewed up already a hundred years ago, and of course Rene Descarte laid the groundwork well before that. Oh, and St Thomas Aquinas well before that. Ya, this whole ‘the universe might not really exist’ thing has been well discussed.
I think this is all an exploration process where people try out ideas and see how they work. In the case of solipsism, its attractive at first because it can’t be proven wrong. And then after you play with it enough, you realize its a dead end. Concluding that nothing is real gains you nothing. There’s no advantage to the perspective, and its as futile as itself concludes the universe is.

I usually do 10 squats. Would I get half a ticket?
- Comment on JavaScript broke the web (and called it progress) - Jono Alderson 2 months ago:
To be fair, there are a lot of inane articles saying this exact same thing about javascript. If its true, its ancient history, and I’m tired of it. I learned javascript when it was a babe, and watched many other platforms fall by the wayside. I’m not defending anything about it, but javascript works. Still.

I guess you can’t go with my solution. Hell, if it gets any longer, I may actually need a haircut, but I haven’t had one in 5 years.

And no. But my father was an electrician at a solar plant. Does that count?
