The Culture seems like the obvious choice. You can be whoever you want, do whatever you want (or not do much of anything, if you prefer), live as long (or as short) as you want… There are no downsides, really, unless you object to living in a society where the Minds are so vastly more intelligent than humans that you’re functionally their pet. I can see how some people might find that unsettling.
the obligation to retain the original product logo (Section 7(b));
the denial of any rights to use the copyright holder’s trademarks (Section 7(e)).
Uhhh is it just me or is it impossible to follow the first requirement without violating the second one? The logo requirement seems engineered to make sure that you can’t actually fork the project: if you include the original logo, they can hit you for trademark violation, and if you don’t include the logo they can say you violated their license terms.
I wash graphic tees and other printed clothing inside out because I was told it does less damage to the image. No idea if it actually helps.
Low function day. I am supposed to be finishing cleaning my room, but by the time I did laundry and went shopping and made lunch I ran out of energy and had to lie down, and that was the end of that plan.
This is bad because my roommate is very unhappy about the state of my room, which is abysmal (the mice that live in my walls shit on everything and it stinks), and I would like to fix it so that he feels better about it. I tried to hire a maid service to come clean the apartment, but the one I contacted said they wouldn’t come out if we had mouse droppings, I guess because of the risk of sickness. So the plan is to get things clean enough that I can tell them the mouse droppings are cleaned up so that they can come out, but obviously I struggle to clean which is why I needed help in the first place… I wanted to get it done over the weekend but the weekend has now ended, so we’ll have to see if I can get it done tomorrow.
Not particularly, no. Unless doing the things I want to do, and not doing things I don’t want to do, counts as principle.
A letter sent on October 15, 1860 from 11-year-old Grace Bedell to Lincoln:
Hon A B [sic] Lincoln…
Dear Sir My father has just home from the fair and brought home your picture and Mr. Hamlin’s. I am a little girl only 11 years old, but want you should be President of the United States very much so I hope you wont think me very bold to write to such a great man as you are. Have you any little girls about as large as I am if so give them my love and tell her to write to me if you cannot answer this letter. I have yet got four brothers and part of them will vote for you any way and if you let your whiskers grow I will try and get the rest of them to vote for you you would look a great deal better for your face is so thin. All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husbands to vote for you and then you would be President. My father is going to vote for you and if I was a man I would vote for you to [sic] but I will try to get every one to vote for you that I can I think that rail fence around your picture makes it look very pretty I have got a little baby sister she is nine weeks old and is just as cunning as can be. When you direct your letter direct to Grace Bedell Westfield Chautauqua County New York. I must not write any more answer this letter right off Good bye
Grace Bedell
You can read more on her Wiki page, including about Lincoln’s reply and visiting her when he passed through her home town.
It turned her into a completely different horse!
The real Maruzensky, for reference:
I read your comment, thought “Am I dealing with one?” and had to reach into my shirt to check if it had one or not. It turns out it does! So… I guess so. I’m irregular in other ways, though, so I might not be a good point of comparison.
Okay, I’m gonna ask: why is reddit not social media?
If I get to force them watch whatever I want, and my goal is to introduce them to the medium as a whole, I’d be tempted to show them Code Geass. It’s one of the MOST anime anime shows, if you know what I mean. It’s got:
If my goal was to show them something that I think they’d like, I’d probably pick Frieren. Partially because it’s one of the best recent animes, and partially because it doesn’t have any scenes that are going to make them ask “What the hell are you making me watch?”
