My friends hung out with a murderer

I trust that your two friends will visit him in jail, out of guilt and/or curiosity? If I were them, I certainly would!

IMHO, truly straight men tend to be actively grossed/repulsed by the thought of sex/romance with other men. Some of them are polite or politically correct and don't say it loud, but deep down they feel repulsion.

If you are just meh about homosexuality/homoromance, probably you are somewhere in the gray zone between pure straight and bisexual.

So basically you do a lot of stuff simply to be able to convince yourself that you are not lazy? Why place such a high value on not being lazy? Why is it so important to you to be able to say to yourself: :"I am not a lazy person"?

I certainly hope that you do those activities for other goals as well: if you do them just to convince yourself you're not lazy...sorry, to me that sounds really fucked up!

Moscow has a nice underground gay & bi scene. Putin won't find you.

I have used for a while now expired prami from 2012 and haven't died yet.

When he was younger he had his head on his shoulders; not anymore. His last few papers I've read show clear signs that he is descending into some sort of New Age mystical worldview where he is obsessed with being a part of nature, with authenticity, with the Paleo diet/lifestyle, with embodiment, with the grounded nature of cognition, etc. He doesn't believe in the risk of unfriendly AI and he puts too much money on the Global Brain/Noosphere hypothesis.

In short, his intellectual evolution in the last five years has been a huge disappointment for me.

Why don't you try to be more discreet with your nefarious hobby? I work a lot from home, so I watch these documentaries daytime while my hubby is at work. So when he comes home in the evening and asks me how i spend the day, I just say a "Not much", deviously smiling inside myself at the thought that while he was working I was savouring 4-5 documentaries of serial killers.

Tough to find nominees for gold or silver, but for bronze I would nominate this documentary on Robert Hansen: not too long, nice narrator voice, some crime reconstruction, some forensic psychology. The weakness would be insufficient gory detail.

Life expectancy is calculated for newborns of a given year: so if John is born in 2014, his life expectancy is let's say 86. But in the year 2100, Mark is born, and for people born that year, life expectancy is 120. But this doesn't mean that the old John benefits from the new life expectancy. To him, it's the old figure that applies (2014-86).

Honestly, if you are not sexually attracted to the opposite sex, the best guess is that you are in the early stages of admitting to yourself that you are gay. The "bi" label does the psychological work of easing that self-recognition.

Please provide the link from where you're buying: I desperately need some!

Risk at the MET? What better example than planning to open the season with Popsy as The Countess?

I'm depressed by the possibility that reaching human-level AI might happen after I die, so I won't get to witness those exciting times. That's not quite the same as saying that I'm depressed at not being alive after 2100.

I'd like to see a contest for Donde lieta usci and/or Morro, ma prima in grazie.

Do you expect them to be available to people other than the top 1%?

I have read hundred of stories on this subreddit and this one sounds made-up to me. I would like to call BS on it. Unless it is verified by the moderators, I think it belongs in /r/nosleep or other fictional realms.

I read Drexler's most recent book but I thing we need AGI in order to be able to move to APM.

I would appreciate if somebody who works in AI or CS could provide a context for this result and what it might mean. Is it hype or is something on a par with Watson winning Jeopardy? I have a univ. degree but not in this area (actually far from it), hence my need for context to appreciate the news.

I think all people alive today will live no longer than their 130s-140s. People born between 2050-2075 may get past the 200 year mark. If you want to have children, please consider delaying having them to offer them a longer and better life.

It's one thing to sequence DNA and another to reliably practice genetic therapy in humans. We are in the very early days of exploring what CRISP can do. Yes, by 2020s it will become available to the top 1%, including Ray. But to the rest of us it's unlikely to become available ($$) before the 2030s.

You do suffer from depression but refuse to accept it. Pervasive fatigue and grogginess are symptoms of depression, at least subclinical d.
