I do think it’s a bad idea, even as someone who saves sex for committed relationships.

• A lifelong commitment to a potentially disappointing physical relationship doesn’t seem like a great plan.
• Before sex, there’s a lot of incentive to present your best self. Afterwards people are a more comfortable presenting more of who they are.
• You learn a lot about someone’s priorities, self-control, receprocity, hang ups, etc.

But if it works for you, don’t let others talk you out of it.

Who’s afraid of virginia woolf at portland playhouse.

It was incredible, as that play always is. The male lead outperformed the female lead, which i feel is less common than vice versa, but everyone was great.

Don’t ask

Ughhhh

It goes…

Well i’m here (for work related garbage)

Loooove a stoned walk, about to head out now and look at some gardens. Only thing better is a gentle-dose-of-shrooms-walk.

Personally i’m hoping for good news from the hungarian election and the end of orban.

And of course like every being capable of moral reasoning, i can’t wait to see steven miller in a prison he built, locked in a 10 person cell with 1 toilet and 100 other nazis. Happy days! 😊

A lot of what ai is good at is very useful for automating massive state surveillance programs. AI could monitor live audio and video communication for problem phrases, for example.

Making authoritarian rule easier and cheaper is a very valuable capability to elites, though detrimantal to the world.

I think the main effect of ai will be continuing this deadly trend of power consolidation that we’ve seen since maybe the mesolithic. The power of information will be conslidated in fewer and fewer ai-oligarchs, allowing ever more intrusive states to control more people more precisely.

It’s going to make snr devs get fired, surely?

They either refuse to sign off when boss wants them to and get fired or sign off and get fired when ai code they signed off on causes issues.

Omfg i love ritzville so much. Whenever we drive from OR to MT we always stop in ritzville and spend the afternoon singing “putting on the ritzville”.

In taiwan they bake them, mash them, sculpt the mash into a potato shape, bread that, fry it, cut that open, then serve it with some combo of broccoli, corn, pineapple, shrimp, oyster mushroom and always swimming in an inch of nacho cheese.

Good vodka is just vodka that tastes less like vodka.

That’s almost identical to how my family makes latkes, just we add a little grated onion as well. Going back we’re from nearby poland/lithuana so not that surprising i suppose.

We’ve found the secret is to hand-squeeze the moisture out of the gratings before adding the flour and egg, it just tastes way better.

This video from Ancient Americas on the history of the potato might be in my top 10 youtube videos.

Isn’t rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer cheaper though?

Either you’ve never tasted vodka or you’ve never tasted anything else made from potatoes.

Rum, Sodomy and the Lash by the Pogues. Seemless blending of punk and traditional irish music that’s still as raw and refined today as ever.

Pretty much anything by the Velvet Underground. They’re the quintessential “barely anyone came to their shows but everyone who did started a band” band.

Early Pixies - Surfer Rosa or Come on Pilgrim. Basically no grunge otherwise.

Probably everything by Sun Ra, but his earliest wrangling of electronic keys into jazz in like the 40s or whatever seems pretty consequential. Plus probably no P-funk as we know it without Sun Ra, which has heaps of knock on effects.

titled “snipe hunt is over, moon crickets in field bag”. Epstein then clarifies that “Guess what? They’re n*****s”.

That’s the entire email. Nine word subject and a four word body.

there appears to be no doubt that Epstein is referring to killing Black people

I just don’t think that’s correct - it sounds like a metaphor for grifting some people. I’m not saying he wouldn’t be capable of killing black people, but i don’t think this email proves it happened.

But I don’t do anything unless prompted by a human.

Gaudi architecture is legit amazing and worth the wait and crowds. Didn’t even have time to see the sagrada familia, just the hotel and the park. Then we had the worst meal of my life in a tourist trap resteraunt on las ramblas. Even including that, so worth it.

Jiufen, taiwan - the village that people falsely claim inspired miyazaki’s spirited away - is also just incredible. The views, the winding lantern-bedecked staircase, the teahouses. It’s crowded and full of touristy knick knacks but i still took everyone who visited.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA): “Witness calls FBI’s [National Threat Operations Center] and reports girl, later found dead, told him Trump and Epstein raped her. DOJ NEVER INTERVIEWS WITNESS. When will DOJ interview this witness?”

The file in question is an unverified tip submitted to the FBI in 2020 from a limousine driver who claimed to have driven Trump in the 1990s, and recalled Trump making “very concerning” comments about “abusing some girl,” while also “continuously” stating the name “Jeffrey.”

The tip also included unverified allegations that Trump and Epstein had raped a young girl who was later found with her head “blown off,” details of which were later partially corroborated by local news outlets
