Prescription glasses expire as our eyes are constantly changing. You should get your eyes checked every two years minimum.

Zodiac signs are about as accurate as tarot readings or reading tea leaves. They’re even wrong about what they are based on. The star locations and sun precession hasn’t coincided with the original 12 zodiac constellations for centuries. People use the dates and signs as they were set by astrology tradition ages ago, but the dates when the sun changes from one constellation to the next is also absolutely arbitrary to make it match exactly 4 and a half weeks.

The personality descriptions for zodiac signs are textbook examples of cold reading. A technique of making intentionally ambiguous but agreeable affirmations so that people project their self-view onto the descriptions disregarding evidence or specifities.

It is a superstition as it is the belief on the supernatural influence of the relative apparent position of stars in the sky over the behavior and personality of individuals. It’s a, mostly, harmless superstition, but superstitious none the less.

I mean, sure he was alive. But he wasn’t physically there.

Executive bonuses, of course. Won’t you think of the poor millionaires?

Humor comes fast to you, but you’re obviously faster.

Injecting yourself in a day old conversation to defend calling people psychopaths as an excuse for comedy. I don’t even have to say how much I don’t care about your opinion.

Pressure depends on muscle tension. When you relax, the pressure inside the bladder drops. The prostate sphincter is already relaxed open and the outside pressure temporarily exceeds internal pressure. This leads to backflow and can introduce bacteria into the urethra and bladder. Not fun times ensue.

Just to cut to the chase, insulting people is not endearing or cute. Is just insulting. There’s nothing cutesy about insulting half the world population. I don’t give a fuck what you think about other’s usage of alternate keyboard layouts. I care about my health, you can go kick rocks somewhere else.

I hate vi shortcuts because they never take non-qwerty keyboard distributions into account and it is unpredictable whether they’ll follow position or letter and shortcuts of webpages aren’t remappable.

It’s just fancy jargon for someone’s else computer through the internet.

That’s because he aims at a very specific hyper engaged demographic. The pre-pubescent teenager. Then they keep watching either out of habit or emotional stunting. They might not be a very sofisticated audience, but they are very dedicated. It might be all they watch, they construct their identity around the content they watch and demand parents to spend money on the products pushed to them by their favorite influencers.

This is not unusual, all generations have done it and diverse agents have capitalized from it. From boy bands, to star wars, Disney kids/adults… They are the unicorn audience in marketing, if you can get your claws on a person during that development stage, you got yourself a consumer of your brand for life.

“I don’t believe it…I’m on the cover of the movie!”

It’s a peaceful life.

Well, you see. Those in charge want that apple there. Because when push comes to shove that apple will also kill activists, protestors and political opponents without asking questions or refusing orders. He will keep fellow apples in check and keep them from speaking up as well. They like that apple.

He should be ashamed of even believing nature had any sort of will or intentionality. Nature doesn’t care about what Diogenes, or any human for that matter, has to say about nature.

This is because tech bros only read pop-psy without any regard for context or nuance. So they read a bit about Flow state and ranking for gamification, and as usual they just botched it. Most ranking is typically calibrated for engagement, not fun. Mind you, they are two different characteristics. If you graphed difficulty and skill, flow is a band, not a point, of difficulty, in the middle. The idea is that when you are challenged slightly over your skill, there is something in you brain that stimulates you to keep going under the promise that overcoming the challenge will be rewarding. Too high and people rage quit, too low and people get bored. The problem is that they want maximum engagement and for that the difficulty has to be on the higher end of the band. A frustrated person will return, a bored one most likely won’t.

They also want to keep people engaged with random and variable reinforcement. The other psychological theory that drives game design, much how behavioral scientist cheat pigeons to keep them engaged pulling a lever or pushing a button. Mix both theories poorly together and you get the awful implementation we see on multiplayer. People are tricked into believing that just because their brain chemicals are screaming at them to keep doing something, it means they are having fun. But that is obviously not true, just nobody ever occurred that those pigeons might be having a awful time. Ask most people on ranked MP or grinding for builds on MMOs if they are having fun and they have no idea why you’re asking them. It has nothing to do with fun, they just want the carrot being dangled in front of their nose.

I just don’t do online MP anymore because of this. 99% of the time, I’m not having fun. Now if I want to play with my friends or other people, we play tabletop board games. Infinitely more fun and far more satisfying than any online game ever.

Oh, exactly. All other matches were exhibitions and not professional competitions. He is a meme boxer, essentially.

And the worse of it all, I suspect that it is because of abuse of nonsteroidal anti-inflamatory medicine like Ibuprofen, Advil, and Naproxen. They are usually the first thing forbidden to chronic ulcer sufferers because they cause new ulcers and worsen flare-ups. They are overall really bad for the intestines. My guess is that Tyson’s training has put him in a lot of pain and the painkillers gave him this ulcer. He is fantastic and has an extraordinary physique for someone his age, but no one is immune to old age.

Correct me if I’m wrong, Paul has made his career beating up retired boxers or boxers twice his age, no?

I know he started fighting other influencers his age, but I seem to recall the only time he fought someone younger than him, he lost.

Age is a huge factor in boxing, as much as weight.

It probably won’t even happen. Tyson has ulcers, and recently suffered a flare up that delayed training and the fight’s date. My dad suffered from ulcers and doctors were constantly in a scare that he would get a perforated intestine wall. At 65 that was actually what took him out, a fissure killed him in less than a week despite the doctors rushing for an emergency surgery, and he wasn’t training to receive punches in the abdomen. When you are old, and Tyson is 57, things take significantly more time to heal, and the intestine is one of the slowest healing tissues in the body, I was told. Too many acids, bacteria, etc. circulating there. No doctor worth their medical title will ever let him train with an ulcer, much less fight.
