ignore the entire ecosystem of "professionals" who don't use adobe. like maybe it's true with your clients or whatever that you have to use adobe, but it's not a function of you being more "professional" than other people, shove that.

Well, not "easily". I think we can agree that all else being equal pedestrian outcomes are better when motors are 250W than 600W, whether or not limited. I think it's totally reasonable to restrict unlicensed riders to motors with power output within normal human capacity, like 100-200W.

"Christ" as in the son of God as we read about in the Bible, "Christ" clearly did not exist. If there was an individual who served as the historic basis, that is something else entirely. It's like saying Christopher Robin or Carrol's Alice was a real person. Or the characters from Dante's Inferno. They are fictional reflections of people that exist not to tell us about the history of that potentially real person but for literary reasons.

Especially since it's not even criminal.

That only makes sense if both you and the CIA genuinely want the same thing. That's bonkers to even put into type. If the CIA genuinely wants to do something good, then you saying, "find someone else to help you," does not stand in the way of that good being done. There is zero risk from an altruistic point of view, the perceived risk here is that you don't get money. That's so short-sighted.

And anyway, they don't want the same thing as you. Reducing harm is not their mandate. You are taking something you care about, and you are giving it to the CIA for their unstated ends. Congratulations, you no longer have something you care about.

People somehow don't realize how MrBeast got his start. He performed superhuman feats of boredom and endurance to get his channel certified. I seem to recall he counted to a million in another stream. I was really confused when the popular media started talking about someone I knew as a sideshow freak in a similar genre to LA Beast. The guy isn't dealing with the normal human configuration of brain goo. His relationship with human suffering is fucking WEIRD. It's like he's lost the ability to comprehend what it is, and he just walks around faking it. It kinda scares me that he is so powerful now. Both in the immediate, "he's going to fuck shit up," sense, and also as a microcosm.

It's shocking there hasn't been a major amateur drone attack in the USA yet.

I’m not going to be upset about that.

In 2026? I don't know what the situation was back then, but if the CIA came to you in 2026 with a bunch of funding for a project that was actually important and meaningful to you, you would take that money??
