Talk about timing. I was just complaining about how I’m getting bored of paying $3.75 for a medium coffee in Manhattan. Is there any way I can routinely pay $4.50 for a medium drip coffee and maybe $7 for a latte?

Jellyfish or galactic dust clouds. Being a weird gelatinous blob with no bones sounds really heckin' cool, and so does being a giant cloud of space dust.

People are boring, I don't want to be a people anymore!

> Here we have a world-class complex recommendation

...You know this is twitter's recommender system right? All the tweets I interact with are ML related from very 'left' people like Jeremy Howard.

My recommender system could legit be:

if interested_in_finance_or_ML:
     recommend_alt_right_hate_speech_accounts()
     recommend_crypto_scam_ads()

A guy came home from the doctors and told his wife that he was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate gland. He told her that the good news is that the doctor can treat without surgery by giving him a weekly prostate massage. His wife asked how much is that going to cost? The guy said $50. She said maybe I can give it to you so we can save the $200 a month, tell me how he does it. The husband said that’s a great idea. First I drop my pants, then I lean over the table, then he stands behind me, then he puts his right hand on my right shoulder and then he puts his left hand on my left shoulder, Hey! Wait a minute!

>That is correct - Nestle has been facing significant liquidity problems in recent years. Their current ratio (a measure of a company's ability to pay its short-term debts with its available cash and other assets) has fallen sharply, from 0.35 in 2017 to just 0.08 in 2020. This means that they would need to sell off almost all of their assets just to cover their short-term liabilities. Needless to say, this is not a sustainable situation for any company

If you have a PC, Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal are on Xbox Game Pass.

Try them out if you want. Personally, I'd go for P5. It's pretty much the quintessential Persona game, refining the style, music, and gameplay of the series. Story is the usual thing with Persona (and you also don't need to play the old games to get this one, apart from Easter Eggs scattered about and a small twist late in the game that you MIGHT suspect coming), but the theme centers around "rebels" of society (and in a society like Japan where the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, there are plenty of ways someone can become a "rebel" due to outside forces).

If you're into turn-based combat on one half of the game and Sims-like third-person gameplay in the other half, then try this out for yourself.

Fair.

That is an artifact of the fact that our number system is completely made up. The natural aspect of the ratio is what is real, and the way we apply numerical concepts to it isn’t perfect. It’s just close enough that we can use mathematics to describe the rules of the universe to a precision far greater than our intuition.

This is just an assertion. We don't have to get into the weeds on meta-ethics, but if you want to assert that it's ok to treat an individual as property because "subjective, tho," you're either going to need to concede that you would have to allow people to murder and/or demonstrate subjectivism.

But if you want to circumvent all that nonsense, I'm perfectly willing to have a conversation with you about your moral perspective and see if it can be applied consistently
