As far as effort? You’re right

It’s really tough to push past and ignore that first part to get to answering your question. Like, that elephant taking up the whole room and trumpeting

I don’t want my parents to experience my death / want to make sure they are helped in their last years. I’ve told them that there’s an expiration onn that though. Like, you wanna live to 100? You’ll be doing it without me.

I appreciate this take

On CL there’s a dedicated place to seek roommates and no shortage of people seeking that arrangement. Not clear why people spam the apartment rental section

My pet peeve with Facebook listings, although it happens on craigslist too, is people advertising as if it’s a rental for an apartment to yourself but then it turns out it’s a share housing situation

Where are real listings found, instead?

ITT: a lot of us favoring exactly the weather that climate change is taking away

Whisper that in my ear, you sexy beast

I make a peanut butter concoction subbing a whole grain like spelt for the bread and using pb that is just peanuts. Would that be considered any better?

It so damn perfect. It just gets it

Fellow Kids might appreciate the writing style

I hear you on the resources needed for computers being scarcer. But this might still fall overall under human induced scarcity. If we lived in more communal ways, the whole approach to personal computers could change, for instance, in a way that increased access in a more sustainable way. In no way do I believe that will happen, ofc. Just as we’re not likely going to go from every household owning one or more televisions to having, say, a shared theater in every neighborhood

There is definitely human induced scarcity. I debated including that distinction.

Going back far enough, scarcity is the answer. We technically live in a post-scarcity world now. But we are bound by the models we developed when it existed.

There’s a comic book for that: https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/we-stand-on-guard

Nailed it

It’s so lame that it just might work

Yup. At the end of the day, YouTube provides two resources: entertainment and information. Given that I’m willing to drop any particular creator or show, which I am, entertainment can always be found elsewhere. Worst case, I suffer a little bit of FOMO. And information in the internet ecosystem is like water in nature; it finds a way to keep flowing around
