  • Weird to see your name here. I randomly bookmarked your user page for reddit multiple years ago because I really liked your opinion on some book or something so I recognise your name from my bookmarks toolbar. I never googled the name to learn that it’s a poem until now. Looks like you’re the same guy though which is uncanny. I remember being pleased that so many of your interests overlapped with mine and that you were commenting educated things about those interests.

    I can’t find the original reason I bookmarked your page which is driving me crazy but it’s already crazy to recognize a name across platforms. We both have 15 year old reddit accounts, assuming you’re the same guy. Really weird thing to have happen first thing in the morning.

    I even had to boot up an old desktop to confirm it was the same username cuz the bookmark was on a non-synced Firefox on that old PC so I know I made the bookmark over two years ago.

    It can still cut into profits even if it isn’t scalable to being a full solution and it is still worth it for consumers even if it can’t be worth it for every consumer.

    All this can still be true even if “lab grow all meats. problem solved” is not true (or at least not possible, even if it is a logically valid construction).






  • Well it’s at a thrift shop so it’s courteous to have the pieces in a bag because it implies that the complete puzzle is present when you decide to buy it or not.

    If it’s a used puzzle and the pieces are free range then it has the chance to be really disappointing when you can only learn it wasn’t a complete board after you are 99.995% finished with it.

    Yeah you can bounce yourself while a second person also bounces you at the exact same and so you are double bounced.

    Alternatively, you can roll up like an egg while two other people try to bounce you and crack the egg. If two bounces manage to launch you a the same time then that also gets called a double bounce.

    Both approaches to being double bounced are absolutely terrifying because you’re feeling twice the force that you expected. So if you’re an emotionally dead adult nostalgically looking back to the last time you felt something then the terror of being double bounced is a good candidate.



  • I think it’s like saying “there’s no guard rails now” because you are not in safe and regulated society where all the wild animals you see are on your coins, but you are now outside of that safe comfortable world and the wild animals are actually wild animals.

    It reminds me of the saying “when you hear hooves, expect horses, not zebras” because you’d really be somewhere exotic if the sounds turned out to be a zebra. Well you’d really be somewhere outside of your regular comfort zone if the buffalos were sitting in the grass instead of sitting on your nickle.
