What is the recent news

I think a community like this is better served by dbzer0 (the instance I am from). Might want to pack up and move there, if possible. Lemmy.world skews very neoliberalish.

He'll figure it out. I have faith in him.

Actually since darkness contains no information darkness can move at any speed

I think your issue is that the Culture's economy is so often depicted from the perspective of humans. I have two guinea pigs, and from their perspective they are living in a post-scarcity world. Same for the humans of the culture. Their economy isnt really visible from a human scale.

Either way, Ian M Banks isn't really interested in the economics of his setting and spends much more effort detailing the politics of how such a setting works socially, which i should point out doesn't need a post-scarcity economy to create. I'm not sure if you noticed this, but the culture punishes criminals primarily through shunning. (Sure, there's also the slap drones, but I'm fairly certain that slap drones are a humane alternative to shunning.) The theory is that their laws are lax enough that the only real crimes left require actual malice to commit, and shunning serves two purposes:

1. Social isolation is the most painful punishment for nearly all humans, which makes it a strong deterrent.
2. You cant commit violence or theft if you aren't allowed near others, so those who don't care about having friends or family also get prevented from committing more crimes.
3. It looks completely bloodless, since the subject doesn't physically suffer, and if it turns out they didn't do it you can just stop shunning them.

I also use Zorin. I feel validated

Mine: Kids are pretty great, actually. They are smarter than you think and can make sense of a lot of stuff you wouldnt expect them to. You should treat their thoughts and feelings with the same respect that you would give an adult.

If I could get a group together to play Promethean: the Created, that would be awesome

Zorin comes with the Nvidia drivers if you want them

Something i don't see mentioned anywhere is that mysic videos typically are recorded at 1/3 of the normal speed. So the original files will be three times as long as you think would be necessary.

How do you feel about 5040

6 points. I have never used a floppy disc, used a Walkman, blasted my music in public by any means, sent a fax, recorded music from radio to cassette, or used dial-up.

Here's the thing. Most women I've met aren't superficial. If you were to gather a bunch of girls and get them to rank each other by attractiveness, you'd effectively get them ranked by extroversion. Also, a bunch of the stereotypical manly things make for bad partners.

I think a lot of the signals you are sending will be recieved as Dad Material. This means you will only attract girls that want to settle down and who imagine a future where you and a little mini version of them are having the best princess tea parties. I see this as a blessing, but this also means you will attract the crazy ones who want you to impregnate them immediately right now.

I am pretty similar to how you described yourself. Four years ago, i also was in a similar rut, although i had dated several girls at that point. Three years ago, I met a girl that was literally everything I wanted in a partner and more. A year and a half ago, I proposed to her, and this year we are going to get married. As far as I know, literally everyone who meets me tells her she's got the most amazing partner and that she's so lucky to have such a caring, polite sweetheart as her future husband. The only person who doesn't like me is her Karen of a mom, because I think she envisioned her perfect little girl marrying a rocket surgeon or something. I think this is similar to how you'll end up.

Also, if I'm reading you right, you sound like either a teen or a new adult, since you're still figuring yourself out. As an adult, I never had a hard time getting a partner; I suspect you won't either. Just keep working on yourself.

This guy looks like the dude from Programmers Are Human Too

They are vicious little crackheads with chainsaws for mouths.

Fuck those ruby-throated hummingbirds. Birds shouldn't need chainsaws for mouths.

I had to go through the five stages of grief to fully process your explanation. Thanks for explaining.

Wtf is this
