Humans are adaptable. We live at the poles. We live in the deserts. I’ve enjoyed time in the Arctic and the Sahara.

I get what you’re saying, but people also spend most of their lives in a 68-72 F / 19-21 C degree bubble. That trains the body only to accept homeostasis. Of course, three hours at 110 F one rooftop can be rough, but it’s also a lot worse of that’s 40 degrees away from what you spend 99% of your time at.

Less AC. Be outside more. Cold showers and mid-day workouts.

That’s not how scams go…

Done it a few times at multiple scales. The challenges are mostly how to deal with crap you think you need and then don’t.

First, shed as much as you possibly can. Then shed more. If you genuinely can’t move all your stuff yourself, then suddenly you have added layers of logistics and expenses.

Second, I agree with finding a sublet or AirBnB for a landing place. The worst mistake I ever made was renting a place sight unseen. The only places that desperate for tenants are one’s that will make it hard to leave. 3 months in a shithole while you learn the right neighborhood and find a good place is with it long term.

Good luck!

But you can just refill those yourself. The biggest problem with HP printers is that it times out cartridges, even if there’s ink left.

Did Kush just get swindled in a classic land scam?

Bro! I swear, I got this island and I’ll sell it to you for cheap. Only $200 million!

Y’all, the greatest joy in my media universe is the 24/7 MST3K channel that’s on one of these things. Guaranteed laugh within 2 minutes. I don’t need to select the episode. I don’t want each episode in a row. I want random.

I had a dream last night that people started to sell sunblock in ketchup packets sized packets.

Then I tricked a school track meet into worshiping Satan.

8/10, the dream could have had more flying.

our hardware is still far behind.

My friend. “Our”? What part did you help with? Are you self-hosting it?

Your AI Afterlife version of you will be trapped in a Google/Grok/Microsoft Heaven365 box. It’s not you. It’s whatever the default the Epstein Class decide to give you, plus the minimal legally required amount of personality to justify an “afterlife subscription.” When your children call you to show you their first Grandbaby, you’ll spend most of the call telling them about the refreshing taste of Pepsi and how glad you are to now have unlimited access to other name brand items in Heaven365.

If it’s not dystopian to you, then you’re just not thinking about it hard enough.

I think it’s because it has a happy ending, relatively speaking.

Personally, I saw it as far more dystopian, people killing themselves so that an AI version of then runs cycles to fulfill patterns established while alive? Ugh. Sounds like hell in a bottle to me.

Right, but to me, that’s why it’s a romance with a horror ending. It’s not forever. Nothing is real other than their love, and even their experience is questionable in tens of is the silicon version of them really them?

forever

What server farm is forever?

The series Upload is like taking the idea and giving it its own universe. It’s good, but I’ll ruin the black mirror episode.

That’s one of the best episodes by far. Honestly, stop while you’re ahead.

Homegirl, full respect here. I don’t know you, but I want you to love life. This just seems like a lot of caffeine and a lot of sleep and no result. Which, to me, indicates something not OK.

I respect that you want to manage this yourself. Get specialist perspective, please. Maybe going the other way is the solution. Less might be more. Or maybe try that out and see if getting down to 100mg a day as one cup of coffee is better.

This is not OK. My Sister in Christ, please seek a medical professional.

You get it.

Seriously. Only let 1 of 6 browsers I use keep any history.

So, religious texts are basically just some kind of “mind virus”? But just not the kind one should be “woke” about?

Likely both. The fuel has to come from somewhere. An established refinery or distributor has to be involved. You can’t just sell gas from a lemonade pitcher, stations are highly regulated as well.

My guess would be some donor and some oil industry VP of Bafoonery came up with a plan to force prices lower in a couple states with important seats coming up in the midterms. Just for the good vibes. The lower price forces everyone else to drop to at-cost sales. And the legal top cover you get Miller, T-Shiz, and Bessent.
