He’s putting on his sleep mask

The creators might want to be careful about copying the tesla design style. They can get rather litigious.

How much do you trust your father? This could go great or terrible. She could be a friend’s daughter who he genuinely thought would be a catch, or she could be a prostitute he’s trying to use to manipulate you. You’d be in a better place to know.

I know, but you were thinking it SO LOUD.

I want one. I just can’t justify the expense while my old phone still works.

The first higher part is basically a whimper but the lower part is more akin to mumbling or muttering.

I mean… James Bond is also just a guy who shoots people. Most non-action movies are just a series of conversations. How the story is told is often far more important than the boiled down concept.

No, car go vroom vroom. Entitled twat driver make it go beep beep.

It’s harder to doctor, but that’s not really the big worry with a contract. Contract disputes are usually more along the lines of ‘he didn’t pay me’ or ‘she didn’t deliver the goods.’ It’s much rarer for it to be an ‘I signed a contract that said BLAH, but they forged a contract to say BLAGH and faked my signature on it.’ As for censorship, I’m not sure what you mean. A government would find it difficult to obscure an on-chain contract but that’s also not really an issue. I don’t want to guess what you mean.

Quite abnormal. Not bad, though.

From what I’ve heard, the biggest problem is the inputs. You can write a ‘smart’ contract that says ‘if I get a pizza, user9000005 pays user30000004 XXX bitcoins’ but there’s no direct sensor for ‘user9000005 has a pizza.’ Someone has to manually put it in. At that point, it’s not automated. It’s just a payment processor with way less certainty, so why bother?

It may or may not be optional, but even if it’s optional it’s a modern tech company so it’ll be default on, mostly because someone at HQ wants to be able to walk into their yearly review and say ‘I ‘led’ the team that developed this ‘feature’ that a full 35% of users didn’t turn off, so that means I increased customer satisfaction by 70%. Please don’t fire me.’ It’s change for change’s sake at best.

But seriously, you can’t. You either choose to be ignorant of 99.99% of the world or to be ignorant of 99.9% of the world and live in a perpetual scramble to absorb all the disparate information. Most news isn’t worth knowing in and of itself, only serving as data to construct deeper understanding, so unless you are going to actually connect the dots, it’s a better use of your time to let the world act as a filter and only pay attention to what hangs around long enough to get through to you.

Hey! What’s that?! Is that chinchy treats! Don’t be hiding it from me! Hey! Don’t ignore me! Give it here!

Why are there 12 lines and 7 labels, two of which are classes of country in a table of countries?

‘Your call is not important to us. Please hang up, and don’t try again.’

Do nothing.

This is not a joke. Sit comfortably, commit to doing nothing for a period of time, and then do nothing. Do not have your phone. Do not prepare by ‘just taking care of these few things’ before doing the nothing. Do not look up the random thing that pops into your head. Do not set up music, a podcast, or some other distraction.

Just. Be.

Classic. It’s only sexist if you are sexist. If you assume dresses are ‘womens’ clothes,’ and that women are inferior, it’s possibly sexist because you are elevating yourself by declaring yourself to not be one of those lowly dress-wearers. If you don’t have that internalized misogyny, it’s just a statement of boring fact.
