@freemo oh, interesting note regarding the friendship paradox:

> In contradiction to this, most people believe that they have more friends than their friends have.

I would explain this by the fact that we spend more time with people who have fewer friends than average. (not sure if it's a hard rule or if depends on the shape of the friendship graph)

@freemo oh no, what I meant is that you should behave your best so as to be a good example of what <insert ideology> is really about. It's not because some asshole does asshole things in the name of some ideology that they're in line with the ideology.

@freemo show a better example - that's the most constructive advice I have.

@freemo it's always fun to think about it. I deeply enjoyed the 4 seasons of 12 Monkeys. Many other people did. I don't want you to miss out!

@freemo what definition of "time travel" would not be self-contradicting?

@freemo @skyblond oh, great. I agree, ask it to simplify the design.

@freemo I like them. I have a slight preference for dark text on light background (#2 and #4).

@freemo tell me you like blood without telling me you like blood

@freemo I speculate we can't get enough accuracy in practice due to environmental disturbances e.g. magnets. It's ok to be a few degrees off when pointing north, but not ok if measuring latitude.

@freemo loosely related: Did you know that in France, you can acquire a house by paying the owners a pension until they die? If you're into gambling or "accidental" deaths, buying a viager is for you: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/v/viager.asp

@freemo I also had no idea until like 2 months ago.

@freemo right. In California, everyone makes the same minimum hourly wage of $16 regardless of tips. There's no "employer discount" for tipped employees like at the federal level and many other states. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped

@freemo what do you mean they need tips? Fast-food workers don't get tips, they survive, and I as a customer I prefer the experience.

@freemo correct. I'm still thinking about tipping vs. not tipping. I try to rationalize my attitude but I realize it's deeply cultural.

@freemo no. If tipping is expected, they get the standard tip. I don't have brain cycles for micromanaging other people's employees.

@freemo it's funny that on either side, two-thirds think their favorite will win.

@freemo no, they believe in word violence too.

@toiletpaper @freemo idk man, you don't want me to point a gun at you, you're still safer when it's done by a cop.
(me = random example of someone who's not interested in learning how to use a gun and therefore should probably not have to use one until that day comes)
