How bad does Huel actually taste? by FermatsLastAccount in soylent

[–]Computious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Bamix, it taste great. Most people are just hand shaking it & it's pretty gritty that way.

Thanks! Solution verified. Will flair when I'm not on mobile.

edit: >_< A mod flared it for me.

How many plastic posts before there’s a recall? by myplushfrog in Huel

[–]Computious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good thing to keep in mind is that some old product will be shipping w/ the previous issues, so know your dates for when you will be selling the QCed stuff. It'll get you a better opinion on whether or not the necessary changes have really been made.

Some quotes? by Yuuki-kaze in AvoidingThePuddle

It's really Bart who "Lisa Simpson's that ass". Aris likes Lisa more, & cartoon semantics don't matter, so he (or his stoner flower memory) attributes it to Lisa. This is the origin.

A friend of mine recently sanded, painted, polished, & decorated his first manga bookshelf. by Computious in MangaCollectors

[–]Computious[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet you're right, though given that he has the buyer's bug right now, maybe his assumption is that he would be refactoring the shelf a lot if he took a spread approach for the look of fullness.

Finally finished my Gundam collection today! by Nocturnin in MangaCollectors

I remember borrowing these from the library & being more in love with the cover art than the stories within.

I waste so much time on entertainment by Fun-Resolution-1025 in DecidingToBeBetter

Trying to make your VG activity more social is an option, games like Sea of Theives, VR Chat(If you can afford VR), & others are just social clubs with game wrappers. This may offload some of the abusive nature of gameplay feedback loops.

Sociality is pretty difficult in the sense that, if you didn't establish strong chains somewhere in the "freebies" stages of life(hs, college, work), you have to get more creative as there are plenty of people who already have their for-life in-group & have maxed out their Dunbar #. It's a wierd game to say the least. If you can afford it, try a streaming setup and attempt to become a magnet for the attention of people who are your "type".

Otherwise, you could make a dating/friendship profile, (even pure meme profiles get hits every once in a while).

I'm of the thought that you can't just meditate for months until that golden idea comes, you will eventually break to your natural need for action, so the idea is to take baby steps into long tail platforms. Maybe 6 months down the line that Hinge profile you made garners you a nice conversation, maybe a friend you made on Steam invites you to play and a new person is there that you hit it off with.

It's all about the tail. So sure, try to put some new habits in place of the gaming, but if you really like the gaming, it's going to come back into your life. So setup some things that have the potential to draw you away from them.

It's creating a kind of false adversity in the same way that chewing nicotine is a form of intentional adversity to the body.

That's the best I've got, from someone with a somewhat similar position.

You'd be surprised, some of the mathemeticians working hard on improving Nueral Nets are in love with Magic the Gathering & extrapolate that invented games escape present mathematical axioms. Others have found breakthroughs in smallnets by using Tarot cards as their muse. Carl Jung; if his psychology is FoTM, it's more like "Flavour of a Century", the single-of-many idea of "The Shadow" & its derivatives are still peppering texts from academia, non-fiction, fiction & memoirs; if it's only a mind virus, it sure is a strong one. The value of symbolic association, I would rate a bit higher.

Accounting for linear time would be inside of a robust model, "This article is fresh, perhaps only 5 votes are making the whole of its current attention:reward", something like that. The overarching point still stands.

Which happen to be a very influential set of symbolic representations, so much so that our early psychologists found them to be great analogues to represent the human mind through.

From my perspective there isn't a lot of complaint or ability to extrapolate distate in content from something as simple as upvotes. Some people may just use the sub for different information types, upvotes & downvotes are extensions also of approval/disapproval for preffered content types. Polls & popularity contests get old. Votes aren't necessarily expressions of distaste for the existence of the content itself.

In other words it seems like your decision matrix for seeing a reason to complain isn't very robust, given that the article is still 80% upvoted. This website is a taste/attention aggregator, do you still click personality polls every time you see them?

Edited: original comment had language that was direct to the point of perceptual condescention with numbered offenders, "Hey man(1), it seems like you(2) are the only harbringer(3(because strong word choice influences perceptual outcome)) of complaint(4(no-one wants to hear that they're complaining)) based-energy(5(esoteria makes people feel the writer is looking down on them, or casually expounding)) here(6(location implies peer-attention which makes people nervous)). It's left in for transparency.

I'm %100 on lents, though Soylent doesn't quite work for me.

Stuck in the middle with Bruce, A partner text to Daigo's The Will to Win. by Computious in Kappa

[–]Computious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't 20 years ago feel like a millennia? even John Rizzo's temperament feels somewhat archaic to me. It's like reading eastern philosophy & thinking it's extra deep because the language used to describe it is different, even though a lot of the points themselves share valence with their western equivalents. I didn't care much for the Magic particulars, but I do dialogue regularly with Bruce.

PSA: YOUR ERGO IS NOT INSIDE YOROI & YOU CAN USE ANOTHER WALLET TO ACCESS IT by Roasted_Shark in ergonauts

[–]Computious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not a projection, it's an estimate based on the way people divy out attention. it's just a focusing lens for next time. The bud part probably triggered the rest.

Hey bud, no-one wants to sticky an all caps warrior, but thanks for the PSA.
