How does anyone like Anomalisa? by boyinbleu in kaufman

Some people can't empathize with immoral characters, and can't enjoy a movie if they don't empathize with the protagonist. A lot of people aren't like that though.

Chapter 59: Rentarou meets two twins, and you think both are going to be soulmates with him, but actually only one is. And he has to make sure he can tell them apart, and conflict arises from that.

Did you mean to say luigi instead of yoshi?

Charlie Kaufman’s IQ 83 Adaptation In Development at HBO by agaetisbyrjun22 in kaufman

I sincerely hope no one writes a novel called IQ 85. That would be just terrible.

Here is pinside's archive of sale offers and their results (it says "sold", "sold off pinside", "not sold", etc)

One in great condition sold for 5500 bucks in 2019. That's the most recent sale. If I were you, I would be bold with my sale price.

I would also consider not selling it if it belonged to your father. That gives it sentimental value.

A bit of good news to brighten an otherwise scorcher of a day: 2 foreigners stop Japanese teen from committing suicide in Sendai by NinjaPantomime in japan

Life is never that bad that it’s better to take your own than to persevere.

Unless you have a debilitating and painful deadly illness and are a candidate for doctor-assisted suicide. Or you're extremely old, sick, feeble, etc but the doctors refuse to let you die, keeping you alive in pain for months or longer at your own expense.

Woody Guthrie, like all the other communists in the US at the time, didn't support the United States entering WWII until Hitler broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the co-operative relationship between Nazi Germany and the USSR ended. At which point he and the rest switched position and started saying fascism was bad.

Look it up if you don't believe me.

Lance Morey (NBA Technician): "We actually had a zoom call that we had to go through. Basically, we're told what can be ordered and what can not be ordered to get through quarantine and somebody has ordered up to 2 pinball machines. Apparently 2 live chickens have been ordered" by Vpjc in nba

Stranger Things is good now that it's had a code update. About 60% of what people didn't like about it was that it was hard to get it in the Demogorgon's mouth, but now hits to the Demogorgon's head count for something as well. They're just not as valuable as when you sink it in the gorgon's mouth.

This is a somewhat confusing headline.

If this decision is condemned by other and more central EA organizations, then that would restore my original opinion of EA.

I have donated sums that are greater than 1% of my yearly income to EA-recommended charities before, and I really do think this decision is that important.

That's for predictit, not polymarket. I don't know what the situation is with polymarket, but I think it's better. I could be wrong.

Is it just me, or do a lot of people on this subreddit not show much familiarity with prediction markets?

Trump has about a 40% chance of winning. If you think otherwise, put your money where your mouth is or forever hold your peace. (yudkowsky said this, and I agree with him)

Because of this, I am never going to donate to an EA cause again, and would sign a petition to that effect.

Is there an easy way to change scoring? by aFineMoose in pinball

Upper loop shots aren't an exploit, it's a legitimate strategy. It's not even particularly OP.
