I’ve read the older version and really liked it, strange ending and all, and I’ve gifted the new version for X-mas. My xmas wish list is for a 6 episode mini-series funded by the fruit company.

they’re so eerily prescient

fantastic story thru and thru, thumbs up!!!

I’ve seen 3 and 4 in Europe, 5 is the perfect encapsulation of shelving disguised as a sh*it sandwich. 1 and 2 are difficult to pull. YMMV

until you ask it write like this, because why use many word when few do trick?

triggering thoughts…

it’s a difficult balancing act, and I tend to agree as blocks are put in place, there are very likely two groups of outcomes: the kid gives up and finds other alternatives which can be healthy or unhealthy, the kid perseveres and bypasses the block

both provide good learnings and shape development, but blocking isn’t the answer, communication, understanding, and moderation is

the alternative that one could flood the kid with unfettered access till the kid becomes nauseated and desensitised doesn’t really work either because it can be too risky

the best solution may be something in between, make it a hinderance more than an inconvenience, like the parent post, and go for the greatest impact on network effects, the evil genie in me would make all these platforms super unreliable, spotty at best

but hey, it’s a developmental milestone for the average generation member to rebel against the member’s previous generations


the 1973 essay can’t be found on that link, maybe provide an alternative :-/

_nobody_ needs to die, even assuming quality of living is maintained with age, and that one can live 1000s of years, that decision belongs to the self /jk

srsly, how is this an issue if everything in the Universe eventually dies, why wouldn’t we?


an old boss of mine used to say there are no stupid electricians found alive, as they self select darwin award style


I solved day 1 with ms excel formulas :-) but from day 2 onwards I switched to python, the formula constraints in ms excel are a pain and I am not so masochistic


o’rly? I had no idea, why do you say that?
