What’s racist about it?

Ho ho ho the comments here are vitriolic. For anyone missing the point, Not Boring is an experimental studio that creates highly sensory everyday apps like weather and calculator.

It’s functional art.

If you’re doing a lot of layoffs but your company is doing well you need to give a clear reason to your existing employees so they can stay focused.

True for a year or two, but after that your warm up sets get so heavy that you’ll need at least 10 minutes to get up to your working sets.

You may as well wonder why there were railroad barons instead of railroads being public access.

Were the parents on medications and/or obese? “Co-sleeping” is the instinctually normal way to sleep with your defenseless infant.

Don't worry my friend. It's just a teaser trailer. It will be followed by a gameplay trailer, just like movie teasers are followed by longer trailers.

Other people can't tell I own Apple products when my phone is in my pocket and I'm not listening to music.

X has a ton of cultural impact today—it’s just that the audience has shifted from neoliberal to classical liberal/libertarian. Lots of politics, philosophy, tech news, and culture thrives. It’s just not happening in your bubble evidently.

It is, because people’s emotional states are deeper and broader than any particular issue. If I’m upset about one thing I’m upset about everything.

Perhaps you didn’t have controversial views in the past 3 years. Ideas that one was banned for as recently as last year under the umbrella of misinformation are now acceptable and even common knowledge in some cases. That’s real mass suppression of discourse. This has an effect on social networks. (Edit: the suppression continues. The original thread is flagged right now. It said the campaign against “misinformation” led to the crazy situation on Reddit and Twitter that we have today.)

Think of it like a seismograph [0]. A violent swing in one direction is proceeded by a violent swing in the other direction. We’re living through the big swings right now.

I think it’s reductive to blame a single person. The people at the top are usually vessels for the people’s energy anyways. That’s why running these institutions is so hard, because you constantly feel powerless even though you’re responsible for making all the decisions.

We should find ways to settle each other, and I think that starts with setting ourselves and those close to us like our family and friends.

The world is a bit shaky!

You want a citation that the strongest relationships that people make are with their family? Ridiculous.

How about placing more emphasis on the family unit? Family bonds are stronger than anything else. If you encourage everyone to work then people may get the misguided idea that careers are more important than families.

I don’t see this happening because it’s usually a better financial proposition to have everyone work all the time.

Town squares have racists, hedonists, nihilists, globalists, misanthropists, moralists, pacifists, anarchists, theologists and everything else. The only new thing about this town square is that everyone has a megaphone. It’s up to you to find the crowd you want.

Some of the things you don’t tolerate are benign to others. And some of the things you like are cancerous to others.

The town square is for the people who hang out there. It sounds like you don’t hang out there.

Well the question is, do you want a town square or do you want a gated community? Town squares have a lot of filth. To filter it out is to pretend that humanity is something that it isn’t.

You can filter it out in your own Twitter by following people you like.
