How much does that cost?

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.

Yup, that’s me, too.

An interesting read, no doubt, but I still disagree with

Is this something we actually have to worry about?

Maybe.

The “threat” here would entail no negative emotions, no human (or other) suffering, just… nothing. Plus, it sounds like if the universe were indeed unstable/meta-stable, there’s nothing we could change about it anyway. So of all the things I can worry about, I feel this deserves the least amount of worry.

I’m closing in on 40 and life satisfaction has been rising consistently over the past couple of years. I think the peak is still ahead.

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.

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.

…in a tank, or in a prison cell? Or in a café drinking ^polonium tea?

Love those books but aren’t they more like, 90s?

Of the ones I visit at least somewhat regularly, Twitter has always seemed the worst for me. Every thread (at least on political topics) is just a stream of toxicity and misinformation.

I use this userscript with Tampermonkey for a layout that’s closer to old.reddit. (Script not mine.)

Reddit and promising better features “soon”, name a more iconic duo. Part of the reason everybody uses RES and 3rd party apps is that for the past decade, Reddit kept promising UX improvements and rarely delivered.
