Thanks for the credit!

Somehow they seem to think that one small cigarette butt is so insignificant that it doesn’t matter despite the fact that they can see these small cigarette butts literally everywhere.

Anxiety / stress. Usually it relates to finances either directly or indirectly. I have enough savings to survive few years with zero income but having recently transitioned from employee to being self-employed, there’s quite a bit uncertainty about future. I’m not losing any significant amounts of money currently but I’m barely able to save anything either which makes me quite uncomfortable as someone who for the past 10 years has lived well below their means.

It’s around 20 years old, if not older. What’s interesting to me is that when I bought it, I hadn’t done any research - I just walked up to the Leatherman display at the store, fiddled with all of them, and the Wave was the one I liked best. Only 15 years later did I find out it’s one of their best selling models.

The only feature from the newer models I wish it had is one handed operation for the pliers where you can just flick it open like a pocket knife.

Mine is 17 years old but last year I upgraded the last original parts in it (MB, CPU & RAM) so now only the case is original and I don’t think it counts as the same PC anymore.

Our body!

I’ve always assumed that the average user here is around 30 years old.

Let me guess; Knipex?

• Kitchen knives. No reason to replace them with others that would do the exact same thing.
• Cast iron skillets. Indestructable, will easily outlive me.
• Shemagh scarf. Oldest piece of clothing I have. I’ve had it for almost 20 years.
• Bushcraft knife. Indestructable, does everything it needs to and nothing else. No need to upgrade.
• Leatherman Wave. There are newer and better ones out there but it has sentimental value to me and 99% of the time when I need a multitool it’s either the pliers or screwdriver that I’m after.
• Yeti thermos mug. Can’t possibly imagine what new feature a mug could have that would make me want to upgrade.

Either of two things:

Nothing. However, I don’t think most people quite grasp the meaning of that. Kind of how they think that before the big bang there was just empty space. No, empty space is not nothing. There’s no empty space, there’s no time, there’s nothing. By definition it cannot be experienced. Experience simply ends. It’s as if nothing ever happened. The universe could just as well have never existed.

The more optimistic theory is that consciousness is in a way immortal. You can only experience being, not not-being. It’s kind of how when you go under general anesthesia and then wake up it’s quite unlike sleeping. When you’ve slept you have the sense of time having passed in between. With general anesthesia this is not the case. One moment you feel sleepy and then you wake up in another room. From your subjective experience you never lost consciousness to begin with. Whose to say that something similar doesn’t happen with death. Instead of experience ending it just moves elsewhere. It’s a pretty difficult concept to explain but it’s somewhat similar to the idea of quantum immortality.

No they don’t, you only notice the ones that do. It’s called toupee fallacy.

is there anyway I could be more disruptive to the business model?

By not using the platform. You think you’re being clever but all you’re doing is making them more money.

I forced myself to watch it because everyone said it was so good - it wasn’t. It just never got any better. There was good scenes in it but as a whole it was boring as hell.

I watch like one or two movies a year and very few TV series. I’ve been watching Dexter - Original Sin now, the previous one I watched was Dexter - New Blood and few years back I watched the first season of The Last of Us but I didn’t like it so I never continued with the season two. Before that I watched the Chernobyl mini series and before that Game of Thrones. Suffice to say that you can pretty much name any modern TV serie and I haven’t seen it. I’ve never had Netflix or any other streaming service subscription.

I also don’t listen to radio or have Spotify so I have no clue what the popular songs currently are and ChatGPT is the only app on my phone that’s somewhat new. No games, no social media - nothing. I do occasionally play DayZ on my PC but that’s a 10 year old game as well. I might very well be the most ignorant person when it comes to popular culture that you’ll meet all year.

It’s fake, originally posted by Intel.

Seems like the kind of post I’d expect your average showerthought-enjoyer to not mind seeing on their feed.

EDIT: I’m up for philosophical thoughts community though

I’m glad you atleast got home.

Probably in the ice bath

In my view stupidity is about how one thinks, not what they know.

Few of my customer’s homes have been improved a bit. Mine not so much.
