I like that I first commented on this post two days ago, and other people are still conversing. I miss how conversations spanned over months/years in the early days of the internet. It feels cozy, especially since Reddit got so large that many posts burn out in hours, or are so popular that you’re just screaming into the void.

Yes, so nice proportion of smart people. I was whining to my wife the other day how I miss the internet of the 90s when that was more the case.

That’s what they say. And, I’ve spent a lot of time in countries that have them. But, i have still chickened out each time lol. But, I do plan to get an add-on kind one of these days to give it a try. Thanks for the reminder

I think once the singularity is reached with AI, it will quickly be able to take over all systems (including banking). I believe that it will be benevolent and will help humanity reach enlightenment. Most people will get an early retirement. But, some people such as Musk, Zuck, Bezos, will be considered essential and will be required to assist the AI and their robot armies in the fields, restaurants, factories, etc. I’m thinking we would only need about 1% of the population to work at that time, the top 1% are the best candidates.

We use a combination of microfiber towels and swedish dishcloths to replace paper towels and we use cloth napkins to replace paper napkins (and sometimes kleenex lol). Haven’t had the desire yet to give up soft toilet paper…
