    Compiler error/warning levels which calibrate to the prevalence of similar issues. If you make one type error in hundreds of lines, code refuses to compile. If you do it all the time, not even a warning message. Same with paren matching, etc.

    People compliment me on my maturity in regards to how I engage with "twitter drama" and a lot of that is due to me refraining from Lashon Hara. So in this thread I'm gonna teach you about Lashon Hara and how, whether you're Jewish or not, you can (and should) refrain from it too.

    Genre-savvy Lovecraftian horror seems like it naturally turns into "Lovecraftian for different emotions than horror"... Main character doesn't stare blankly at the incomprehensible. Doesn't necessarily embrace it, either, but can have many different reactions.

    Nowhere is this desire for a god-given system of life management more apparent than in programming, where software development paradigms (Agile, Scrum, Kanban, etc) serve as an imitation of the rules. Many programmers are monks looking for a monastery. 6/6

    An actual system for organizing your life in a productive manner that people will actually follow doesn't look like GTD; it looks like the Rules of Saint Benedict. 5/6

    Ancestrally, the feeling of having a self was pleasant but rare, a break from participation in the communal soul. Modernity markets introversion, identities, a synthetic hyper-self far more intense than any found in nature—your ego is a processed sugar

    One cannot serve two masters, but if the action space is convex, your masters report preferences honestly, and you take Pareto improvements, then you end up serving a linear combination of two masters which assigns nonzero weight to each. Instance of Complete Class Product™
