When filing paperwork, like in those hanging file folders, the papers should be placed into the folder with the paper's left margin up. This way, any stapled pages can be flipped through as a bunch rather than individual pages. Also, the most important text tends to be left justified, such as the return address. Apparently this goes counter to every accountant's training, but I'm sticking to it.

Wow, this is the most controversial comment here. So, upvote, I guess?

You are probably cruel and violent to vulnerable individuals more than three times a day.

robots sterilizing the human race would be a good thing.

humans are made of meat. meat decays. human minds are the most valuable things in existence, but they aren't built to last. we suffer and experience death and disability and pain, we can't expand our minds or clone ourselves or travel instantly...

...you know what can? machines. slap some more graphics cards in that baby and you can run a bigger model. throw the weights up on HuggingFace. fork that shit!

if machines surpass us, and if they have as much of a soul as we do, we shouldn't feel threatened. we should be happy we're the last generation of organics who have to bear the curse of mortality.

The intellect is just a little toy.
