Reply to Former Google engineer predicts humans will achieve immortality within eight years by dustofoblivion123
>A former Google engineer has just predicted that humans will achieve immortality in eight years, something more than likely considering that 86% of his 147 predictions have been correct
This is awful reasoning. He's got a good track record so let's just assume this is a good prediction.

Yeah I linked the wrong link. It's updated now to include the books that are ~higher level also. There are a few what would be considered classics on there like Brave New World and The Bluest Eye.

Serious question, have you or do you plan to read books that have recently been banned in states like Florida

That doesn't explain why they've consistently had lower than average inflation numbers going all the way back to 2013. Covid is only an impact for the last three years of data.

Another LPT:
If you are the person that always takes pictures at the family gatherings, make sure someone gets a picture of you as well. It's easy to forget that no one sees you when you are behind the camera.

Yeah his later catalog wasn't really anything special IMO. Just trying too hard.

Reply to comment by notaversilfgaming in I don’t like Kanye as a human by notaversilfgaming
His earlier stuff is more relatable and to hats what made it so popular IMO. Now he just raps about him being a mogul and his woes against the fashion industry or whatever. It's like...dude you're the only person this applies to. Nobody cares. His rap stopped being relevant a while ago. As far as the music it now sometimes feels like he's trying to hard to be different and it's just..meh.

Reply to comment by Daddy_Tablecloth in I don’t like Kanye as a human by notaversilfgaming
>The man has literally done nothing to change music in any way. So my opinion is hes an average at best musician
I think that's really big reach. I don't really know what constitutes a musical genius, as it's really a subjective term. People use the terms virtuoso or prodigy and honestly I think those do apply to him. The difference is that he's not a musician that plays instruments. As a producer, you have to put him at the top of the field and he has had an undeniable impact on music and culture in his career. I was around before Kanye and music immediately started to sound different because of him. He produced for so many artists before he became a solo artist (and after) and he absolutely shaped the sound of hip hop and I would say is in part responsible for how mainstream it is today. I find it very hard to deny that. I was there. I saw and heard it and was part of the culture and it will be near impossible convince me otherwise based on my lived experience. College Dropout changed rap/hip hop music and culture. I saw the hardest dudes you know wearing layered pink polo shirts with the collars up.
Now with that said.....
He absolutely deserves the backlash he's getting now. I stopped listening to him as an artist probably 10 years ago when he came out with the Confederate flag clothing. That was before Kim Kardashian. That was before the "slavery was a choice" comments. That was before the stalkerish, threatening behavior against his now ex wife. That was before the antisemitism. I was done a long time ago. I think it's good that he's getting dropped maybe it will give him a reality check that he's not a god among men. But sadly it probably will just make him more bitter and angry and we'll have to hear him whine incessantly about it. (Kinda like Donald Trump)

I don't feel as invested in any character yet. Spoilers - GoT made you love and cheer for Ned Stark from almosy the first episode. No one in HoD has really stood out. Rhaenyra doesn't really feel like the antagonist even though she is the leading character.
