Are we considering that somewhere around 8-25% of the mass of concrete (and possibly same for general aggregates) has biological origins from limestone? double digit percent of man made mass is the reorganization of ancient sea creature corpses

“rate my dantian. mixed spirit root, been grinding since birth. 80 years to hit foundation establishment while the heavenly root kid in my sect reached core formation in 30. is demoncoremaxxing even worth it or do i just reincarnate and reroll”
I’m not familiar with that one but I’ll have to look into it! They have a couple of songs that sound almost Bluegrass/ American Folk-y, which i’ve been joking implies that living in a former industrial city now left behind by the service economy leads to the same musical vibe regardless of geo
was recently put on to Omnipotent Youth Society. I don’t know how actually huge they are but the wikipedia implies they’ve gotten awards/ won some sales records for independent rock
that’s been my thought since the first read. No attempt to free the kid even if it would send everything into ruin? In that world I wouldn’t have done anything at all but I can respect the “this thing is absolutely wrong so i need to stop it” more than “i feel bad so am going to make my life worse”
just using person as “an identifiable system with specific goals and capabilities”, corporations or nations fall under that category, and small tight knit groups do, but group sizes in the middle sort of just decompose. 4 people in a discussion acts as a unique unit, while 20 people decomposes
The ones who walk away from Omelas are the most selfish characters in the story
basically your exact example, like “we’ve got a super capable ultra smart model but it still will tell you the recipe for meth or explosives if you ask”. Capable but not PR/Legal ready. But i’m guessing it’s much more complicated than what I’m implying
One person is a person. A group of 4-5 friends is a person. 15 people is a group of ≈4 people. A nation-state is a person. There’s a weird valley in the middle where personhood dies but then comes back.

I’ll do you one better and list every movie i’ve seen in theaters this year in an instinctual quality order
Resurrection >= Marty Supreme = No Other Choice > Nirvanna the band the show the movie > All you need is Kill >= How to make a Killing > Wuthering heights > Dracula
damn got me
i’m most likely wrong, but is it a matter of the most powerful performance they’ve successfully wrangled to product level? Like there’s no way of telling what internal maximum capabilities look like, it’s just a matter of “wait competitor released model, rush to wrangle one that’s a bit better”
I forget i literally have a website sometimes
I have been seeing at least 2 movies a week in the theaters and want to write my thoughts down but refuse to make a letterboxd because i’m contrarian
obligatory Caduceus vs Rod of Asclepius note
the tourist trap raunchy phrase shirt is the same in every city on earth. the guy who buys it as his one souvenir is a complete enigma to me. like what’s the internal monologue there. its one thing for something to be in poor taste, and another for it to not even be interesting
I am honored to be here🫡
I've been slowly nibbling at Summa Technologiae for like 2 months now. I'll read and reread like 5 pages and feel my brain expand and end up highlighting half the words
to be honest I did not understand the "only in theaters Jan 30th" verbiage until a few months ago. the structure of it implies that the only time that it is in theaters is on that one day, as opposed to "Jan 30th, only in theaters" which correctly implies it comes out that day, and only in theaters.
