And God created Adam

I dunno, that sounds like a fast track to being the subject of a murder mystery. I think I’m good.

I don’t try to put my pinky all the way down, the difference between a 1 and 0 on that finger is about 90°, though it rolls a bit depending on the other fingers. As long as you can tell the difference between up and down, you don’t have to be that strict about the exact positioning

You’ve never heard of the Trans Siberian Railroad Orchestra?

No? I’ve been counting like this for like 20 years

Yeah the uh, last scene is pretty rough once you find out about the recording timeline. Ugh, I’m a mess now.

Damnit, I can’t think about that movie without getting sad

I never read it, but I’ve read similar pop-enlightenment literature. I think it requires that you be in this particular narrow phase of spiritual maturity where you’re open to the message, but you haven’t really learned much yet. Once you get into anything meatier, the pop stuff seems trite.

Pop spirituality ripens like an avocado

Uh, I don’t think that’s referring to the animal

Dad gave her $100. Mom giving him $100 is just a refund, she’d need to pay another $100 to actually pay out on the bet.

Right?

Like Jesus is based af. Bunch of people that came right after were on some fuckshit, but hippy dippy Jesus is a whole vibe, and I’m about it.

Wasn’t he part of the People’s Judean Front?

Capitalism was invented in response to mercantilism.

If you want an alternative, try Market Socialism. All the benefits of a market economy without the capitalist exploitation. Equating socialism with Soviet style command economies is a smooth-brained take.

I feel like usually when I hear about some experiment that changes our perception, the time to adapt is typically about 2 weeks, but that number is almost entirely vibes-based.

I’m talking about editing a backlog, like if you record hours upon hours of content, then spend weeks editing them. Think of those hour-long video essays with animations and stuff. If you live alone and stocked up on groceries, you could easily go quite a while without actually having to leave the house.

Again, a pretty specific scenario, but not exactly hard. Not even that farfetched for some niche video essay creator.

Talk about diminishing returns

I think it would be an unusual occurrence, but not really “hard”. Imagine a YouTuber who edits their own videos. If they live alone and spend an extended period of time editing their backlog, they might not talk at all and only hear recordings.

They knew what crocodiles were, so they probably wouldn’t have been terribly shocked.

I can see that, but you can always focus on meeting in person. Just use tech to vaguely call meetings.
