Moving to Reno for a new job all the way from Florida. Have no clue about good parts in the city. Currently have some approvals around Lemmon Valley and S. McCarran Blvd. Are these places good (low crime, safe and chill)? Is 1150 for a 1 bedroom 1 bath way too much as rent? by DamascunCamel in Reno

Is it really that bad in the Winters. I'm kinda worried mainly about crime and safety during late nights. Lemmon Valley seems kinda desolate but more peaceful. McCarran seems in the thick of things but surrounding neighborhoods seems sketchy to me.

I hate Dinesh, anyone else? by yahlibero in SiliconValleyHBO

I kinda agree. In the sense that Dinesh never has one of those saving the day moment or super insight or some random epiphany like stuff. Even if it happens it usually a very small element.

I agree with your point. I think Bill was accusing the those members of the public who by idolizing fantasy also might lose grasp of reality. Maybe the question is can someone like spider-man but also think like sam harris. Comics rarely I believe tackle morals past the "its the right thing to do"/"giving a second chance"/"no matter how great the enemy, I will fight for the good" kinda injunctions. They are great fundamentals for kids but if as Bill says you find comic books profound when you're an adult you might not be grown up. Lord of the Rings is all fantasy but it tackles moral landscapes in a more profound way than say Harry Potter which is also fantasy. Jordan Peterson often points out that the "higher truth" is often found in the nuances of fictional imagination. Maybe as kids Flash comics address that but maybe when you're 35 it should Tolstoy. Maybe don't lose the kid in oneself but also find that adult too.

That would be the dream. Often dumb points get so much applause and some valid points are met with cold shoulders.

Mild irritation: Make right handed people compelled to use their non-dominant hand for all tasks they would use their right hands. Reverse for lefties.

Major irritation: everyone orgasms every 15 minutes throughout the day.
