The tragedy of human existance is that we're aware of our existance.
- Do you mean this in a solipsistic way, or that we're aware that our existence is temporary?garbage

To catch the emergence of the internet as a mass medium and even be part of 2000s web design boom as a young kid, too see AI development unfold -- this is the best time to be alive, within a 1000 years perimeter backward and forward in time (maybe not in terms of life quality, but it is the most interesting time period)
I probably won't be able to visit other planets/experience space tourism, but the 20th and 21th centuries are the turning point in human history, enjoy every moment of it
- I feel like our grandparents had a pretty good run. They started with horses, got electrified in the home, witnessed the birth of the transistor, the bomb...monNom
- That's what I thought too. Maybe in a 100 years this planet won't even be hospitable anymore. For now we're living in prosper times.NBQ00

If Bryan Adams released Summer of ‘69 at the same time as Smashing Pumpkins’ 1979... it would actually be set one year later
- DRIFTMONKEY0
If Smashing Pumpkins 1979 came out today it would be called 2004.

Why are there no positive diseases?
"Got myself a good case of the whew. Slightly runny nose, but I've been tripping balls and having karmic orgasms for three days and the best sleep I've ever had each night".

- Qbn ate the link https://www.today.co…scarabin
- Would they not be called ‘eases’ then?mort_
- It seems to me you could induce brewers gut intentionally with some yeast and a time-delay capsulescarabin
- Interesting. I wonder why a virus hasn’t tried this route - seems like this would guarantee it’s transmissionGnash

Spite packages.
You decide to annoy someone overseas wherein taxes would be involved on packages sent. Mail a box filled with bricks valued at £5000 and see what happens.
- You wouldn't be able to send a large package like that without any form of pre-pay as it'd have to either be dropped off somewhere or picked up.microkorg
- and the postal/courier company would need to scan shit or need you to pay to stick shit on it.microkorg
- Would be better and more anonymous sending via postboxes. Send lots of letters (via different postboxes) with either sheets of lead/metal or chunks of slate.microkorg
- and dont put stamps on. receiver has to pay to receive them.microkorg
- I just yesterday sent a package with self-declared customs slips which are read by the receiving tax agency in a foreign country. All I paid was postage.Nairn
- I mean, I suppose the obvious thing is the recipient could simply refuse delivery. Better to do a few small ones, as you suggest.Nairn

This Snyder guy, he makes very cool looking movies. He's like the Wes Anderson of big budget, pulchritudinous, hyperreality cinema. Perfect for superheroes, really.

I'm about to sit down and watch Zack Snyder's Justice League movie. I'm somewhat disappointed in myself for this 4 hour investment. Lord have mercy on us all.
- After viewing at least 24 revised, updated and re-cut trailers for Justice league...I find no need to watch the movie again.utopian
- 4:3 ratio is annoying. Shoulda been a miniseries. I can't sit for four straight hours.lemmy_k
- i dont mind the ratio since im projecting but Utopian may be right about the trailer prob being the better thing to watchStoicLevels
- Ooooh cool ratio must see TVnb
- Its a pretty movieStoicLevels
- Snyder made a lot of improvementsStoicLevels

In the not too distant future we will have a service that literally transcribes hash values into a block of something permanent. Be it stone at a large scale, or something like sapphire at a micro scale.
This system will allow for the writing of permanent, one-time write values, and the reading of them, by some secure remote-inclusion technology.
Vast halls of stone, writ in CNC, or crystal etches all microfiche-like.
This system will be run by a long-view supra-government agency, rendered permanent and ultimately accountable by the highest orders.
The purpose of this will be to verify bullshit digital security, be it NFTs or ether hashes or whatever other pointless - but highly valuable - fuckery that comes along.
Full circle to the first clay tablets cast in ancient Sumeria, recording transactions as proofs.

'Missing' should be be spelt 'mssing'.
