Oh no the horrors of reclining and getting warm under a blanket, if I was mandated to do that that would be torture!

How does democracy work without free speech? If all speech is free then the public will get to the truth, if it's curated and regulated, it's a one track road to tyranny.

Memes are compressed ideas that can be shared and understood easily, that's why they are effective.

I literally earn minimum wage, I am drowning in debt, I am struggling to find a job in design, I am not even in the same hypothetical local supercluster let alone the same hypothetical galaxy of the billionaire class, and yet I also hate degrowth.
I do however have the hope and confidence in my ability to use my own wit, experience, and resources to dig my way out of my own mess and maybe glean some help from generous people who support me on my way withstanding I earn it by being a good, kind person.
I also recognise the solutions a pro-growth society would afford humanity as it would raise the baseline freedom and functional ability to contribute to society, work, play, and explore. A case-in-point, even today, hell even in 2008, a broke person on food stamps has/had more computing power in their pocket than the richest person on Earth as recent as 1990 they could deploy to learn about anything for free.
With degrowth we would have no mobility at all to change the quality of our lives at all, dissenters to the "regime" most likely would have a low social credit score, and have it be impossible to live life on their own terms, let alone to better their circumstances.
All in all, these people like Andrew are very evil people.

If an average HD digital image is 1-5 MB, then 10 GB (10,240 MB) could hold 2,000-10,000 images of women's butts. This would be impossible for a Motorola Razr V3, which has only 5.5 MB of storage, with later models supporting microSD cards only up to 1 GB.

This is absolutely objectively true. Due to finances and the absolute brutal market trying to find a design job, early September this year I was a decision away from ending my life but I chose not to, instead rather radically changing course and trying one last time, even if it was incredibly humiliating to ask for help.
I then moved in with my family for a couple of months, got a job part time at a hardware store, found a new place to move into, and dedicated my free time to building my personal brand here on X in the meantime as applying for "normal" jobs on LinkedIn, TradeMe, Seek, and even with my personal network here in Wellington seems to not work anymore.
Between the moment I decided against that choice and today, I have been followed and supported by gigantic industry titans, insanely talented builders, digitally rubbing shoulders here on X with literal millionaires and billionaires in essentially every tech vertical, and inspiring leaders that I will be forever grateful for their support.
So yeah, this timeline wouldn't have unfolded without my decision to bend the world, as Altman says
We all have the ability we just need to execute, and quickly.
Sam Altman: "A big secret is that you can bend the world to your will a surprising percentage of the timeโmost people donโt even try, and just accept that things are the way that they are.
People have an enormous capacity to make things happen. A combination of self-doubt, giving up too early, and not pushing hard enough prevents most people from ever reaching anywhere near their potential."

"billionaire wealth & paid it in cash" is the main thing they don't understand though. they think net worth means a balance in a bank account ๐ not the value of things they own.

If this is the case there is nothing wrong with text based adventure games, we don't need graphics when you can just imagine what something looks like based on what you read

The thing is that every branch on this is mostly imagination, yes even the "actual" past. The only thing that actually exists is Now, so why remain attached to imagination when you can just enjoy and be grateful to be alive Now?

Say he's 330lbs at the start and 175lbs at the end. That's 3 and a half pounds per week. That's totally doable.

If there was a jab that was empirically and objectively perfect with no side effects then everyone would willingly take it, no force necessary. But we live in a world were there is more incentive to forgo that and make as much money as possible and not address any complications.

I'm buying stock in @tylerpixel early.
He made both "smoking a starship" AND the "UberEats Roadrunner."
He's a one-man hard-tech meme machine

Thinking about this in the inverse, it's incredible that Elon Musk has provided that much value to humanity to be able to be worth that much.

if you think about human beings the same way doomers think about ai, then that means you'd would want to stop the smartest people alive just by mere fact they might not be good.

My bad it's 11 frames per second so its 495 days or 70 weeks, says he's 330lbs at the start at 175lbs at the end, that's 2 and a quarter pounds per week. Absolutely doable in that time.

right vs left? at this point it's more about restoration/cultivation, optimism/sincerity, and acceleration against degrowth/stagnation, pessimism/cynicism, and deceleration.
