You know the sad thing is I probably could've solved that problem like five or six years ago.

Which may lend credence to Bakky's point about retention.

True. You have to keep up with it. I have been pouring over Calc I and II notes to prepare for Differential Equations next month. I have gone a semester without calculus.

I thought Japanese people are what makes a Subaru a Subaru?

The whole idea that the "solution" to the "problem" of technology rendering the "everybody works full time" model obsolete is to deliberately keep things inefficient and labor-intensive just seems perverse to me. The very idea that this would be considered a "problem" strikes me as a bit of an indictment of our culture really.

Fuck the idea of actually translating that extra capacity to being able to enjoy more free time, everybody must keep running those hamster wheels! The system is becoming fundamentally unadapted to reality but we cannot imagine anything better it must be maintained in its present form no matter what!

Mind you I'm skeptical of the idea that we're actually at the threshold of an age where the robots are going to start putting everybody out of work ... hasn't that been predicted to happen like forever, and has failed to actually materialize like forever?

i think tech today could reduce work significantly

but our bourgeois masters don't want their slaves to realize that

death to the bourgeoisie




but today it isn't even not workign in general

i'm just especially tired and lazy and whatnot right now

like i don't even feel like getting up and making some boredom food

that sounds too much like work

btw let me tell you a story about axing the right question

back in like 2007 or soemthign i was finding myself wondering how i could have a society where everything is handled but one where ppl still have an incentive to work

and i couldn't find a solution until i realized the latter part of that is only important as it feeds into the former

in other words the goal isn't to "get people back to work"... the goal is just to let everyone live well

and then i realized unemployment is not inheriently bad and thus does not need to be countered at all regardless of other facts

thus revolutionizing my sci fi world

I have occassionally wondered how much free time we could actually have with just today's technology if we had maximizing it (in balance with desire for reasonably high material living standard and general practicality) as a society goal instead of letting capitalism set the tune with just restrictions to keep it from going all Gilded Age on us.

idk. i'm sure it is a damn lot less thn it is now but there's issues of like economics interaction shit that is way above my pay grade

oh god i tried watching something at usanetwork.com but get this: it is two minutes and thirty seconds long...

but they are still putting five commercial breaks into it!

way to make it unwatchable. the characters can't even deliver a full line without breaking for commercial interruption

I've been playing FF3 on my Nexus 7. I like it quite a bit, but it brings back my lamentation of not having FFX to play. The HD upgrade needs to get done.

playing a final fantasy game before number seven?

nerd cred +1 earned

is this ff3 the one originally on the nes or ff3 aka ff6 from hte snes?

i've played the snes one, but not much of the nes one. i tried it once on the fake smell u l8r but i was kind bored by it and didn't go beyond the opening

Know what frustrated me about HL2

Everytime I tried to aim down sights I'd set off the secondary fire and often this was result in death

I have no idea. It's the one that was remade for the Nintendo DS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_fantasy_3#3D_remake

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... y.FFIII_GP

ff3 on google play is the actual final fantasy 3

for the record ff6 is damn fun

Eh, meant to pick a smaller res but too tired to give a shit.
