@eigenrobot you will take the EU from my cold dead hands

@danielbrottman Beneath?

2nd time a squirrel has chewed through some wires overnight. There will not be a third.

@goblinodds Not sure what to make of this. Kinda sounds like something @DefenderOfBasic would say.

[George @georgejrjrjr]

totally believe it.

also orthogonal to the larger hungry egregore I posted in a shocking way to call attention to.

I realize this was an unconventional and somewhat perverse way to point at an egregore that's been eating my friends. so, mostly people round me off to stuff that contradicts what I actually said. inclusive of a few moots of ~10 years I like very much.

@workflowsauce @DefenderOfBasic Sort of thing meant to discourage frivolous suits in the first place, perhaps.

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@forthrighter For real though, while I should presumably not try and route my entire inquiry through you (for one, you have other things to do), is there anything you think is especially worthwhile for a lapsed Catholic like myself?

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@forthrighter (also I know we were just talking about surpassing the ego and all, but I feel somewhat disgruntled about the universe's design, and I'm not saying I could do better, but 😶‍🌫️🌩😵

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@forthrighter I appreciate the earnestness.

It's difficult for me to credit the existence of the net, and the implications thereof.

Well no, on the merely (still massive) human scale, it feels... correct that we're supporting one another. Have been supported, by those who came before.

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@forthrighter So uh, after the humbling. What do you do with the sense of futility?

asking for a friend

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@goblinodds Right right, I meant with social stuff specifically. Like, wouldn't some of the difficulty maintaining friendships fall under forgetful and distracted and difficulty with sustained effort and whatnot?

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@asglidden @goblinodds Right, then what is the contempt supposed to accomplish? Sow doubt, I guess?

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@asglidden @goblinodds And when contempt is symmetric?

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@asglidden @goblinodds Ignoring someone does that just as well. Vice signaling betrays a desire to, well, signal.

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@tracewoodgrains Fairly confident you have friends with edgier hypotheticals than this or the OP.

Feels like the issue is saying it in public.

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@Thomasdelvasto_ Perhaps different in California, but elsewhere I'm pretty sure normies have never heard of effective altruism.

[Grant McKinney @this_given_that]

@EigenGender Long felt he's like a certain kind of wheedling radio host. Often saying reasonable things in a reasonable tone of voice. Sometimes the things are less reasonable, but the tone remains.

Though TBH, I kinda want to defend him on this one.
