You forgot to use "—"

IIRC there was a study where people with strong opinions talked to an Al and the process changed their minds.

Bottom is probably Newton. The guy was a machine.

Is there a list of Libraries I can register online with if I don't necessarily live near them? Would like to expand my reach in libby.

Nemesis Games (Expanse Series) had bicycles. Not the strongest book in the series but Amos and Peaches learned how well bikes worked when the shit hit the fans. Very thoughtful authors.

Who would ever want to sneeze faster? 😄

My wife does this too, both of us have the reflex, I just happen to not enjoy sneezing?

Timeless movie!

Imagine something more valuable than your life. Every moment you think of a loved one being well you feel joy. When they are hurt you feel a physical pain in your chest. You would do anything for them. The world is no longer about you.

Looking from the outside that sounds like a very vulnerable and unattractive situation to be in. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.

(Disclaimer: It's still possible to hold unconditional love and betray that love in a self centric way, I have, but the above is how I would describe the 'feeling' of it)

Juffo-Wup is the power of life... hot warmth in the cold Void. It flows through all things, binding them together, making them one. You are Non-Juffo-Wup, you cannot understand.

Great read, thanks!

Probably looking for stories and here I gave some advice. Will sit down now and get some popcorn.

This is a very generic question but I think I know where you're coming from.

A lot of people react to things rather than consider what effect they want. Look at what you're doing, and ask yourself if you think this will get you the change or response you want.

i.e. Sometimes yelling, or flipping someone off at road rage can feel good, but it doesn't get that driver to reconsider their poor driving. Give them a shameful finger wag and you've got them thinking...

Pause and reflect on what you expect your behavior to accomplish.

So you're saying you agree?

Walmart is absolutely a result of capitalism, those intricate supply chains are in place to make money. Maybe we could do it without a common way to track needs for a while, but would it adapt? Would the alternative resist corruption better? The invention of Money almost seems an inevitable consequence from one perspective.

I don't think this answers the original question, but it's an interesting side topic.
