If money really was no object, I’d build the first lunar inn and live there permanently.

“Oooh TeamAssimilation, that’s the Apollo Lander, it’s a valuable relic, please stop licking it!”

Imagine what would happen if we substituted the water for more brain.

Adult mayflies don’t, they don’t even have a digestive system or even mouth. They just reproduce and die.

Sponges, IIRC don’t have organs, hence no anuses. Can their excretions be called poop?

I don’t recall reporting any comment today. Can I fix that if I reported it somehow?

Edit: shit, I see I used report instead of reply. Im sorry.

I think all we can assume is that life as we know it became dominant, either by sheer luck or by outcompeting other variants. We can’t reasonably discard that life happened more than once here.

It might seem like an astronomically rare event because that’s the only kind of life we know.

Also, IQ tests are a learnable skill. You can become surprisingly better at them without actually increasing your intelligence, by becoming familiar with the exercises.

A smart non-native English speaker would likely score even lower the first time because many old tests tie reasoning to English proficiency and western culture.

Last but not least, being intelligent is different from being smart. I’ve seen intelligent people get left behind by regular people because they took unwise decisions and wasted their potential.

Date away, worrying about this is like worrying about dating someone stronger or taller than you. It’s doesn’t matter that much in the grand scheme of things.

A question for the ages: why are there so many young cybersecurity furries?

Does the field attract furries, or does it create them?

I’m vegan, I only lick lab-grown basalt.

Canada has all sorts of people, like every other country. Canadian mining companies are awful in Mexico, negotiating draconian concessions from corrupt governments, which allows them to extract minerals very cheap while ignoring environmental laws.

I understand that corrupt politicians are to blame, but Canadian businessmen can be surprisingly impolite and exploitative.

That’s just a whimsical interpretation. If Nier hadn’t existed, he would have chosen another game he liked. Nier wasn’t his main motivation, just a guinea pig.
