Genital augmentation and the word "stubsack" in the same sentence is an awkward cocktail.

There's a difference in having a personality that gets easily bored of luxury and believing conflict is what inherently gives life a meaning. Maus puts it: "Suffering doesn't make people better, it just makes them suffer"

If someone's life is so damn easy and hedonistic they're actually getting bored of it, there are good ways and bad ways of introducing adversity and getting out of your comfort zone. The negation of being a slave to the hedonic treadmill[1] is not an eternal war for domination.

I was in an FTTP orgy once. It was kinda disappointing. I was the only one who even brought an ONT.

Here's a card for the CAH thing @self posted

Yea kinda like during a famine the best course of action is for everyone to hoard and binge on as much food as possible. That will force the crops to become more bountiful.

FAANG? What is this, 2021? Lol Netflix.

Well if you drop Netflix from the acronym it kinda becomes a slur.

I'm just happy "MANGA" didn't catch on. Japanese comics don't deserve to ve associated with giant tech corps.

I agree, except with the first sentence.

1. I don't think a computer program has passed the Turing test without interpreting the rules in a very lax way and heavily stacking the deck in the bot's favor.
2. I'd be impressed if a machine does something hard even if the machine is specifically designed to do that. Something like proving the Riemann hypothesis or actually passing an honest version of Turing test.
