      19. If Google’s latest developments are legit, soon bots will be more interesting and fun to talk to than a subset of people. I kinda look forward to the mess this is going to cause, which feels a little naughty to admit

      20. While I’ve tried to be more respectful of people’s privacy and agency etc over the years, I still fundamentally believe that practically all of it is going to get steamrollered by new tech in the coming years, decades. Our social norms will shift as a result

      21. Recap eg of #1 – I am simultaneously a nihilist and a bleeding heart hippie. I accidentally end up blaspheming in every ingroup church. In many ways I think humanity is cruel in the ways we try to avoid suffering. There are worse things than death

      24. People say things like "oh think about all the suffering you will cause the people you leave behind"– but that's also a sort of meta-guilt-trip. The suffering is a function of other people's expectations of how you're supposed to behave (ie, DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT)

      26. I think shitty families are possibly the most under-discussed, under-acknowledged source of misery and trauma in the world, and I think it's ridiculous that lots of people I've talked to have nobody to discuss that with

      27. You know how social media means that everybody is projecting an inaccurate image for everyone else? There's something similar re: how women are portrayed in the media– usually an extension of the fantasies of male writers. I honestly think its a crime against humanity

      28. I think ultimately people spend time debating the issue of pineapples on pizzas because it's a distraction for discussing actual issues that they should personally be dealing with. It's like playing games on your phone to avoid your todo list which is scary and unpleasant

      real talk time: the main objection to pineapple pizza (in NYC anyway) is that it's always disgusting canned pineapple chunks as the topping, not nice fresh sliced pineapple from a whole fruit.

          and yet, there are people who enjoy this. contrarianism runs deep in H. sapiens.

          nope. not all canned foods degenerate in the same degree. canned mushrooms (and canned black olives as another example) are fairly disgusting when eaten raw but do just fine when cooked. canned pineapple is the opposite. ok raw (the sugar water saves it) but terrible cooked.

          however, I suspect what you really like about them is the machine sliced evenness of canned mushrooms. try using a mandolin slicer on fresh mushrooms and compare.
