You are correct, I’m on ESR apparently.

Looks like that’s coming in Firefox 117 (we’re at 115 currently).

On the discomfort side, couldn’t they have the collection and recording happen in the background? If no other passengers or staff can see the numbers, there’s less of a chance of someone feeling uncomfortable with the process.

The weighing process involves humans, so that wouldn’t be possible.

Their average intelligence being what it is, when instructed to have one person on the scale, sometimes it’s one, sometimes two, sometimes two and a stroller. Sometimes somehow a horse ends up on the scale and no one really understands how, including that horse.

Unless you check the weight, you don’t know what exactly was weighed.

A prominent S

I guess that’s a 5, not an S, since it was the 5th Separate Assault Brigade that was involved.

It’s just an oversimplified position. I think you can want very little (quantity wise, as number of desires), but exercise massive amounts of will to achieve it. And then you can live with more or less ego, or more or less empathy and care.

I’m sure there’s dozens of other ways to do it. You just can’t get there with “NPC” and “not NPC”.

Some people are much more the protagonist in their story than other people. And then there’s the degree to which the story actually overlaps with reality. You can make it all up and not follow up on it, or you can make it come true, and everything in between, human reality does allow for that.

No need. Homo sapiens is near the end anyway. Doesn’t matter how it ends, if we get replaced by AIs, the next "Homo geneticmodified"or get wiped out. Kind of awesome to know, right? After 250,000 years, we’re among one of the last Homo sapiens. Peak Homo sapiens.

You know what that means, “Homo sapiens”? It means “wise man”.

We’re going to get completely ridiculed for doing that in the future. Who the fuck even calls themselves “wise man”. So lame.

Exactly. It’s an odd type of gambling with your life.

They all migrate to USA in hope of getting jobs at big techs.

Eh… It’s overrated. The pay is better, but otherwise it is definitely a downgrade. Maybe from east EU, it’s a decent deal, from west EU, it’s very disappointing. You basically end up thinking “but the money is good” over and over and wanting to go back to actual civilization.
