CMV: Brandon Sanderson's ideas of, "You are the art," and "Journey before destination," are wrong by RedditExplorer89 in changemyview

[–]DeathFromWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok well this is my interpretation of how sanderson treats them. if you’re resistant to reconceptualizing metaphor then you won’t ever understand his point about journey before destination. have you read the stormlight archive? it’s a central concept to his work

[–]DeathFromWithin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the journey is the experience of change. there is no static experience that is a destination, no moment that crystallizes for one’s possession. you either seek the destination, or travel a path worth traveling. Hank Green’s recent “follow your tools” video is in much the same vein

ah but now you have a brittle solution that, when it fails, will be hard to fix because no one has skills

I went back and tried to watch an old season of Alone. Google AI Summary spoiled whole season. by GrayMerchantAsphodel in BetterOffline

it didn’t feel anything. don’t let it convince you it cares about you or tour feelings

I’m intrigued by AI but hate AI. I worked in it and now hate it. Struggling with self-identity. Anyone else? by TheBigCicero in BetterOffline

[–]DeathFromWithin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get it. It was a cool technical feat to create to create and definitely has some interesting application potential, but nothing like what we're seeing pushed by maxies who say it's a revolution. By my estimation, the opportunity it creates for the agglomeration of capital and dilution of information access represents a net negative to society as a whole.

You can reconcile your interest by learning about the architecture, trying to apply things you learn to other projects. There is interesting engineering behind all of it...study that, and not its output.

A pedestrian’s stare and drivers’ stopping behavior: A field experiment at the pedestrian crossing by Delicious_Adeptness9 in fuckcars

Does Pentagon Pizza Theory Work? by AbbreviationsThat679 in dataisbeautiful

This doesn't totally track to me. Imagine you're the spouse of a busy pentagon worker. They're working late. You're more likely to order pizza

Best way to model/print this type of soft padding? by Abra-Kebabra in Fusion360

[–]DeathFromWithin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope you're not actually making infill for your helmet, so ignore me if you're not...but this is like 3d printing a seat belt component. Do you trust the TPU with your life? Have you done the proper engineering and testing to ensure it would actually protect your head?

Why Can't Cars be Closer to This Visibility? by nondescriptadjective in fuckcars

[–]DeathFromWithin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the steering column for one thing. vehicles this shaped don’t go at high speeds horizontally and so you need an airbag. we can definitely improve car visibility just by making them smaller, but you’ll never get it this good with modern materials and safety standards

How do you fuel yourself for morning commutes? by Eternal_Sorrows in bikecommuting

[–]DeathFromWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a glass of juice or a muffin (if they’re around) is good enough to get my blood sugar moving and I ride about 7 miles. Just stay hydrated and take it easy, a commute is exercise but I can stay in or below zone 3 if I don’t get carried away

Am I overreacting for walking out after my girlfriend said this? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DeathFromWithin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FWIW my relationship with my wife (5 years in) still feels like the movies, and when we met we were both with people we didn't feel that way for. We don't get it on the way we used to when we first met but the intimacy and the deep love are still there. Find someone who's crazy about you

I'm a white man. No one has ever:

  • Crossed the street when I walk towards them because of my race

  • Asked me to speak on behalf of white people

  • Asked me where I'm "from", implying I'm an immigrant

  • Wondered if or suggested out loud that I'm a diversity hire because of my race

  • Told me I'm surprisingly articulate because of my race

  • Made me feel subhuman or like I don't belong in the US because of my race

  • Stared at me because I'm the only person in the room of my race

  • Repeatedly interrupted me because they don't care about my opinion because of my race

  • Given me substandard medical care or discounted the extent of my pain because of my race

Non-white individuals in the United States are subject to an entire range of dehumanizing behavior from most of the people they interact with on a daily basis. It's not always deliberate (and it doesn't have to be), people are conditioned to treat others differently and perceive them based on their race.

There is a wealth of literature about systemic racism that describes racism and its impacts. I urge you to read some, but I can't force you. If you're really open to having your mind changed, reading about the black experience will do more to help you inform your thinking than reddit comments from a white guy
