Yeah, you don’t have to be gay just to be able to admire art.

Well are you? I don’t see any proof you’re trying to deny it.

That really clashes with the reality of how truck bros actually park. Or does it…?

There are multiple housing problems and they’re all probably way more complicated than anyone wants to acknowledge. The highest priority “housing problem” right now imo is that there are people who don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.

In order to solve that problem you need

1. Safe housing to provide to those people
2. A system for assigning those people to the housing.

Building/acquiring housing costs money. If the government isn’t doing its job and spending money to solve this problem we need to

1. Hold them accountable through voting
2. Take matters into our own hands as a community and attempt to contribute to a local solution in whatever capacity we’re able to contribute (donations, volunteering, organizing). Once we have legitimate trustworthy organizations that are doing a good job solving the problem then we can hopefully proceed by driving more support for them.

Creating a system to assign individuals to housing is probably the more “difficult” part because there needs to be some sort of consensus on the mechanics of prioritization. I personally think we should prioritize housing for individuals and families with children, but after that I don’t know who we should serve next.

Specifically the most acid trippy chapter of the Bible that describes the end of the world.

That’s super cool, I’ve wanted to do something similar like this but never have had the opportunity.

People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone’s name if they’re being abusive.

Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it’d be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?

Hot take: All criteria used to classify ideas and objects into distinct categories can eventually break down. The only reason to pursue the creation of classification systems is to facilitate communication. If we get to a point where we start throwing chairs at each other I’d argue were no longer willing to communicate, and so arguing about whether something is “this” or “that” is no longer a priority. The priority should become attending to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals in the absence of labels.

I don’t let what other people do ruin my happiness. If I’m happy with the work I’m doing and the amount I’m getting paid then I really don’t care what other people do.

Good luck ever defining “good”.

Holy crap two fun back and forths leads to a book recommendation, today has been a great day. Thank you!

The curve could definitely be S shaped, but it’s hard to say.

I think that I would be really unhappy/bored in a world where I got to experience “everything” I wanted to do. In fact, just the idea of not having to make any trade offs/compromises is incredibly paralyzing to think about right now lol

If the clones don’t allow me to live forever, eventually dying would be the most interesting thing for me to do because it would be the only “new” thing left to experience in my lifetime.

Being able to clone myself and sync with my clones is something I’ve thought about since I was a kid.

I don’t think increasing the number of clones would ever allow me to satisfy all my wishes. The number of things I want to do increases with the number of experiences I have in a non-linear way. If I want to be satisfied I need to be willing to accept all of my wishes will never be fulfilled.

To answer your question specifically: 0 clones

No. Peace of mind comes from trusting, not from knowing.

Yeah. I think there is a pretty big difference in the dynamic between a person who owns and directly manages rental properties and a corporate land lord that exists purely to extract as much money as possible from a tenant.
