They bought 7-Eleven Australia, too.

Do we "live" longer, or die slower?

I swear I was better at this game 30 years ago than I am now.

I'm typing this on an S7 that refuses to die. Not looking forward to buying a new phone.

It only just occurred to me that I finish every sentence with a . While no one I'm talking to does.

This has begun happening in Australia at the self service machines.

Some artist are pissed off that the AI can only generate art because it stole the reference pictures they spent countless hours creating.

Don't forget that the journey is the destination. When you make the long process of change itself the goal, life becomes more interesting.

I'm with you. I'll use the self service in shop but I never use the app.

Great job! I found it the right balance of relaxing and challenging.

If you're looking for some variation, consider the various Dark Ambient labels on YouTube. It's become my go to music as I've gotten older; I pretty much can't listen to music with vocals anymore.

Absolutley mesmerizing, love it.

Thanks for the link. I've recently taken a liking to this style of art.

I believe Stephen King said something along the lines of "Good ideas stick around." I've come to treat it as gospel. Any idea that nags at me over days/weeks/months tends to be worth pursuing.

I was too young to perceive the game like this, but I sure remember how many hours I spent playing it. One of my favourite, maybe I will give it another run someday.

I always thought the original moderation method of Slashdot better; a simple slider that adjusted the thread based on the quality of conversation you desired.

I don't make a habit of watching shorts, but the one I did earlier - a motorsports highlight- did the exact thing you're describing.

I have a Pepsi Max every now and then and I noticed the taste had changed. However, it seems to have gone back to the original flavor for now.

Ad Blockers.

Long term outlooks work provided you scale the resolution, contrast etc... proportionally. This is how I identify the forest from the trees.

We had a family friend with this problem. Buying him a dog worked wonders, if such an option is available.

...Johnny Cash’s “Hurt.”

Feel the need to point out that is a Nine Inch Nails song covered by Cash.

It use to for me too. But these days I need to chill more to Dark Ambient.

The only thing I disapprove of is when I feel that the copy is cheap and lazy, and on the internet, without acknowledgement of the inspiration.

I find originality has more to do with where they get their inspiration than what they put into it themselves.

I'm not sure I understand how you're separating a person's inspiration from who they are. If I'm inspired by something, it's because it talks to me as a person. If the person then creates something, how have I not put the inspiration (myself) into it. They are one and the same to me.

My memory fails me, but I think it was Ozzy Osbourne who said he didn't mind people copying him and Black Sabbath. What was important is that they add some of themselves to it, that's how we evolve.

And I agree. All art is copied to begin with, it just depends on how much of yourself you put into your version. If it's a lot, then it will appear quite original.

How can you compare two wars 80 years apart given the advancements in nearly every area. Polish soldiers couldn't watch German soldiers moving around from the safety of a bunker via a phone screen. The available, basic intelligence alone could keep a war like this going for months.

It's why I don't understand how it's happened. Wars like this - between modern countries - just should not exist as a matter of common sense (e.g. Mutual destruction theory).

...we can't build anything on bullshiting.

I completely agree. However, I feel many of the problems we face as a society is because far too much has already been built on it. It was once strategically placed where necessary to maintain operations. Now it's just an industry all to itself.

I must of really watched a lot of trash horror films as a teenager; I will forever associate the sumerian language with summoning demons.

Could it be we are use to media/news reporting so we struggle with movies?

It depends on where the article is coming from. If it's from Medium or Twitter etc.. I just read the comments. Otherwise, if there's sufficient interest I'll read the top comments before heading to the article.

Generally I'm here for ask/show HN.
