I love that Boeing is a verb now

It's still 1,600 years, with full human lifespans contained in them. It doesn't matter how many other years there are, a year is still a year, and 1,600 contains 60-70 or so generations.

Anyone can zoom out to make things seem relatively smaller, but that doesn't change the scale of anything for the people living in it.

You pretty much couldn't with that much money

By the Greek standards of the time, or how I imagine them, he'd be a bad craftsman for not having control over his creation....

Wait, I heard this story before

what penguin had its butthole measured?

I never said that. I was responding to your comment that they could barely hit the ocean.

everyone mocks until success. we were laughing at their last attempts and doing rockets and then they hit their goals and we all freaked out for a week.

The moon!

A lot of the author's writing really strikes a chord with me on this. I'm reading the descriptions and am like, yep. Saw that. Lived that.

Now that I'm out of it, still think about my parents and family that are still in it, regularly say and do this same kind of stuff, and it's entirely foreign to me. And I used to believe it more than them.

So one thing about the note taking (from an ex-Christian), something that is very common is the fake prophesy or telling you details of your life that you think the person shouldn't know. I guarantee you they're using these notes as a way to say that God told them something about you. I'm saying this because I've been in churches that did that

Edit: many say they don't encourage it, but it doesn't matter if someone gets "saved"

Really interesting overall, but the article is more like a tweet. I'd have liked to have read HOW it's being used and gotten some more detail on it.

How did that quote go? Something like "never believe that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth."

I also want to point out the effort vs output difference. A 100 -> 100% output requires more than 10% input increase in effort, so your pay should be more than that

Nah, get a second job until they fire you

The implication is that to get promoted, you have to kill your mentor and take their job

I agree. I feel like the original held up well. I'd rather see the story continue

oh man, NGNL was bad with that. Not Monogatari bad, but wow

She's not interesting, though XD

Oh look, they're charging him in Miami, where, as it's been said, "they would convict Santa Claus for helping Cubans."

This is really cool. They even have recordings of people they interviewed(?) so you can hear the languages. I'm going to give this a thorough read when I'm not in a noisy place.
