RE: Using Modern TImes To Teach The Industrial Revolution
I love Modern Times. Such a great movie. This and Duck Soup are two of my favorite old ones for their social commentary.

RE: A crazy thought I saw online that had me not believing it, until I did the math
That's a pretty cool stat to remember. I just always remember Fight club quote: "Most people, normal people, do just about anything to avoid a fight." Totally true, I'd say. I'd like to think

RE: No Good Deed...
That's completely nuts! But it's a good reminder to be on your guard and not let the kindness of your heart make you naive.

I'm not sure if I really do. If I don't log into my bank account and look at the balance, it will still be enough to cover everything, right?

RE: HIVE Inflation Still A Huge Concern
Preach, brother! I've been against the DHF from day one because of this. Reminds me that I need to do my somewhat regular "Vote the Return Proposal" post.

RE: You Were Irreplaceable
It is pretty bleak, isn't it? It's not AI per se, it's this greedy uber capitalism that the US is veering more and more towards. The only jobs that are going to survive are the blue collar ones like plumbing.

Always beautiful to see. They are very common around most of Japan, planted all over in the public parks.

The saggy pants thing started when I was in high school in the early 90s. I always had the exact same question you wrote: how in the world is that comfortable? I know it's an inclusion thing. Your group

RE: Records, Regret, And Realizing You’re The Problem! Why High Fidelity Is One Of The Most Underrated Gems Of The 90s (Well 2000’s Technically) 🎥
It doesn't get mentioned by people who have no idea what they are talking about. Among all the Xers I know, it's considered one of the best movies John Cusack has done.

RE: Are you afraid of death?
All of the Stoics are worth reading. Seneca is another great one to read if you haven't already. Death will come whether we fear it or not, whether we think about it or not, whether we run from it or not,

RE: The 1974 Pilot Elite — A Pocket Pen with a Long Shadow
Your shūji lessons used a fountain pen instead of a traditional brush? That's interesting. The writing is very different. So much better, in my opinion. This Pilot Elite is one of my favorites. It's so
