I just mean I can think of a lot of goals that people set with no quantification or arbitrary cut offs. Like, "my goal is to eat more plant products and less animal products".



You just stereotyped about 10 million people, >99% of whom you've never met. Sloppy.

I get you, true- though by "universal" I meant that we all seem to do it, rather than we do it with all goals. And I like conversing more normally with you, without odd formalities and airs.

I don't think I do the arbitrary quantitative cutoff thing, but I definitely have.

I stopped putting "Mr" in front of people's names and some of them seem to have reacted well to that. I like conversing with you too.

lol'd to that one. Great reference. My dad turned me on to that film.

A beautiful call here. A young American man, stationed in South Korea, from a screwed-up background waking up to realize how to be.

@Jack V Savage

Continuing the Robin Hanson discussion, are you taking issue with this post and in particular the claim that "biologically, cuckoldry is a bigger reproductive harm than rape"?

 

[Prokofievian]

Oh boy.

If the latest world record for the mile had the numerological significance of 3:30 or 3:31, it would have almost certainly been broken by now. Instead, it languishes at a maximally dull 3:43.

I've often thought about the arbitrary cutoff points we set for goals, and how those magic numbers make a huge difference in the importance we place on them. Very few people set a target like saving $49,220 for their kid's first two years of college. The milestone approach is a nearly-universal way of deceiving ourselves. It probably comes at a measurable cost in GDP.

343 is a delightful palindrome.
It's also a cubic number and 3 and 43 are both prime numbers. I'm sure I can come up with more given time.

Also, 343 = 3 * 43 * 3 - 43 - (343 / 343)

I would like that if it weren't for the cheat at the end, which you could do with any number when you need to munge a 1 into it.
But it is (3+4+3)*(3+4+3)*3+43

You like to party. How have your friends been treated as guests at parties?

Well, he lets his female friends get drugged right in front of him...so what does that tell you?

Well then, how about

343 = 3 * 43 * 3 - 43 - (3 + 4 + 3 + 3) + (4 * 3)

Unrelated question, do you have to manually roll up your cunt so you don't step on it all the time?

Congrats to @Jack V Savage on knowing 100k Bernie bros!!!!!

Yup, kind of like a sleeping bag

Also 23 is the number of Illuminati

And (2 + 3) * 23 + (2 + 3) * 23 + (2 + 3) * 23 - 2 = 343
