To be fair, the same can be said about most forms of entertainment.

You don’t even need any indoctrination. Just compensate them better than everyone else and they’ll give their life for you. That’s the power of money.

My workouts are organized such that on any day, the order of the exercises is also their importance. So if there’s ever a need to cut things short, I still do the same workout but I’ll cut it short somewhere in the middle.

If I know what I’m losing a whole workout somewhere, then there’s one of two things I can do. If my body is well recovered, then on the last workout before the break, I’ll bring the intensity way up with lots of myo-reps and drop sets and increase the number of sets. If I’m in need of recovery, then I don’t do anything special and just treat those days as a deload.

The question you should be asking is what you’re trying to achieve with each element of your workout and how important it is for you. For example, what do you get out of stair climbing that you don’t from running-walking or stretching? If there isn’t anything specific, it may well be that it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you do something. Consider also what your body might need recovery from. For example, does running hurt your joints? If so, then maybe use that opportunity to take a break from it.

You’re supposed to connect them to your cochlea. The eardrums don’t respond correctly to electrical inputs.

I don’t understand why you would. It’s extra work to burn a bridge. And what do you gain? Nothing. You just put in effort to lose a bridge.

People happy with their jobs don’t go job hunting or interviewing. […] Why pretend everything’s sweet and dandy at the current workplace? It’s ridiculous.

I’ve left multiple jobs mostly because I was bored with the work. I’m usually pretty vocal about it, and every manager I’ve had have been very understanding, some even putting in extra effort to help me find something more interesting within the company. There’s no need to pretend that everything is fine, nor is there any need to throw a tantrum.

Why do we do drugs at all if it isn’t to reduce our suffering on this planet?

Google has invested in Anthropic too

muh gainz!

Don is special. Don’t question it.

Depends on what you mean by “free speech”. If you mean absolute free speech in the sense that all voices are present and heard, then no, because it blocks out the hateful voices. But you can’t have that while allowing for hate speech either because hate speech silences the voices of its target. So no such thing can exist. If you want a platform with “free speech”, you need to decide who gets the freedom and how much of it. There has to be a limit somewhere, whether it’s explicitly set or not.

This sounds like a good way to keep track of time.

Snow is simultaneously a particle and a wave. What you’re seeing is the destructive interference resulting from its wave-like behaviour.

I would say that the pain and follow-up soreness from working hard at the gym feels amazing in a non-sexual way.

That only accounts for a small portion of parental contribution and is easily avoidable by an early inheritance.

This isn’t without its own problems. If you fail to renew your domain and someone else picks it up, they now have access to all your accounts. At least with a popular provider like Gmail, they don’t allow emails to be reused, and if they ever discontinue email services and drop the gmail.com domain, everyone will know about it and know that password reset requests should not be sent to these emails.

People who don’t think questions on nostupidquestions should be criticized for being stupid.

We don’t know how rational or irrational this is. Kitchen fires do happen. If you don’t know how to prevent or handle them, then it’s a very rational fear to have.

Having kids will do that to you

Does that work when you also want to be in control of those companies? All the big CEOs I can think of directly own shares in their own companies.

It becomes a cringe adult phase when you get older.
