  • They’re describing a job in that scenario too lol.

    Yes, people lose their shit once they stop doing their job lol. Landlords in their version are effectively building mechanics and paper pushers keeping their property above board so people can live in it. Most of them I knew all had jobs outside of it too because it doesn’t pay the bills lol.

    Yes, it would be phenomenal if they dropped all their extra money into the stock market like your average person but they diversified or put it into equity instead since they didn’t trust stock or had houses willed to them.

    I get when people talk about slumlords, or giant corpos. But I’ve had to quote it before that the lionshare of them are people like I mentioned above with corpos buying out more and more in recent years because they’re just as poor as everyone else.

    Meanwhile even the most liberal people on here get baited thinking they’re scum. Meanwhile billionaires are still laughing at the poors fighting each other thinking one job is better than other or villifying entire professions still.

    Unionize. Reform land and property ownership. Vote in as many Progressive > Democrats to help make that happen. Vote yes on school ballot measures even if you get taxes. Run for government yourself if you loathe who represents you. Grassroot campaigns are hard as hell with a huge uphill battle, but poor people aren’t excluded from government.

    I remember mine! It was in regards to finding out if people went through life with varying resting frame rates for vision and I wanted to know the bell curve.

    My thought was whether people see the same patterns in fan oscillations when adjusting for speeds with a light behind it. I just wondered if people saw the same patterns as me mostly.

    From my discord chat, I’m usually drunk by the time it devolves this far. This was a week before arguing whether non-verbal communication counted as words. Nope. Words require language with grammar. Signs, signers suck it. Gesture? We eventually and reluctantly settled on symbol… People just need to make up new words more often rather than having to argue semantics constantly.

    They’ve done lots of light flash experiments and recognition with millisecond speed stuff flashing, but I wonder if they’re trying to compare ‘frame rate’ off. It sorta mentioned it in some shitty article that was hoity toity filmmaker whining and quickly devolved into false assumptions therefore…

    But I wonder if they’ve had people draw fan patterns as it changes speeds or if it’s the same for everyone.

    My desk fan has led lights behind it and 3 speeds. If I turn the light on and switch speed it forms certain patterns as it revs up then hits the ‘proper’ speed. I wonder if people see the patterns differently as it revs up and down.






  • I mean, for the most part yeah. With bare bones minimum interaction babies are pretty manageable.

    Feed them five times a day. Clean five times a day. Pretty much watch them grow on their own until they gain proper sapience around that year mark. Just don’t go full Potter and you’ll be good. Get earplugs for the times when you really need sleep and keep to a schedule.

    After that year, and more like 1.5 years, you gotta put in some more effort but even then, it really doesn’t matter near as much as the internet would have you think. Nature beats Nurture in almost all categories by a sound margin.
