  • This is my opinion. Timing intake is a low value, high effort task.

    I’d rather first focus on high value, low effort tasks. Then low value, low effort tasks, then if I really want to optimize I’m finally at low value, high effort tasks.

    By the time I reach those tasks it’s likely I’m beyond diminishing returns and I should apply my focus elsewhere.

    The only additions I have :

    1. What I ate yesterday is going to affect my workout more tha anything I can eat today.
    2. Timing is relevant if it upsets your stomach during the workout, beyond that ignore it.

    TLDR, stick to solving other high value tasks, meet your macros, forget about timing.



  • Nope, just relatively. Though how do you want to define consciousness could change my nope to a yes. It’s all about the definition.

    All I can see when I read this comment is a plaque to blind confidence. Don’t take it the wrong way, I don’t mean it as a wholly a bad thing… maybe 90% bad, 10% admiration. Confidence is powerful, but it works best when paired with other traits.

    …but back to the thread, unless you’re involved in this topic at an academic level, can you explain the reasoning behind the confidence you appear to have in your perspective?


  • Another one bites the dust.

    I admit it, I once assumed Elon was a genius.
    (events happen)
    Okay, not a genius, but a good businessman.
    (events happen)
    Okay, a bad businessman, a good PR person.
    (events happen)
    Okay, a bad PR person, but not a Nazi.
    (events happen)
    Well fuck, he’s a Nazi supporting conspiracy theorist.

    God damn, if I was that wrong about one person. I’m just gonna stop having opinions about famous people. It’s all smoke and mirrors.



  • For similar series, I recommend Burnout and Flatout. See my comment in this thread for elaboration.

    Career wise I think Burnout : Paradise City is the most fun of the games I mentioned because you have to go around the city finding hidden jumps, hunting cars roaming the city (when you catch them (by crashing them, of course) you get to drive them), and beating time trials that create unique opportunities to fly through the air and blast through traffic, ideally crashing your opponents into them… anyway, I love the genre, hope you find your game!


  • I adore the Wreckfest game. I played it, beat it, lost my save and was happy because I got to play it again. I think I’ve done that three times.

    If you are like me and would like another game in this genre, try “Flatout Ultimate Carnage Collectors Edition”, personally I find the crashing (as well as the racing) in FUCCE to be more satisfying than Wreckfest but both games are a must have for fans of the genre.

    The only thing that Wreckfest probably does better is that it feels good on a racing wheel, I’ve never played Flatout on a wheek so I can’t comment on that. Both are fine with a Steam, Xbox controller, or third party controller.

    For the record many of the Flatout games are great, I just happen to think that FUCCE is the pinnacle. I would love to be wrong and find a better game so please feel free to share suggestions.

    And for a more open world style game with collecting cars, crashing them, and causing carnage as the core theme (you still can’t get out of your car) try Burnout : Paradise City, amazing soundtrack too.


    Some of these games have quite unique game modes, the “High Jump” and “Long Jump” in FUCCE is a dumb as hell game and great for having friends compete on the couch.

    Burnout has a mode where you have to incrementally take out X opponents before time runs out, X increasing as difficulty rises. And every time you take someone out you get boost so on a perfect run you’re just exploding everyone at light speed lol. Then BAM WALL FUCK. Lol. That’s the game.

    And for a final unique game mode, the old Burnout games (not BPD unfortunately) had a mode where you intentionally caused maximum damage per time limit. It was hilarious throwing the car into traffic then dancing it around the city causing hundreds of thousands of damage in a scene so stupid it would have been cut from Final Destination. I think Burnout 1, 2, and 3 had it…










  • Change the rules? No.

    The “rules” are in place, they’d simply be exercising existing structure.

    You should listen to the podcast More Perfect if you want to learn more about the court.

    When you’ve convinced an entire political party that any changes in anything ever is always bad… it’s kinda difficult to please those people.

    Like, opposing ethics reform? So if a judge gets bribed… you want them to be able to say, “Nah nah can’t get me, I’m friends with a billionaire!”

    Or, to ask in a different way, do you think that it was the intention of the founders that the highest judges in our form or government make their rulings based on who gives them the most money?

    because ^that is our current system
