The obvious effort is to mark each temporal milestone, then post snarkily as each is missed

A markov chain is smarter than the current POTUS.

To be scrupulously fair there were multiple banners on LW announcing that prices would rise unless locked in early. NFC what they started at though, maybe $400?

Personally you would have to pay me $5,500 + room and board to force me to attend.

EAs sad that their previous rich grifters are trying to distance themselves from the movement by gerikson in c/sneerclub@awful.systems

LOL from the comments

[...] "people having unreasonably high expectations for epistemics in published work" is definitely a cost of dealing with EAs!

I think we can all agree now that US Rationalists are basically all ex-Christians who are looking for the same thing but with the serial numbers filed off.

This season's showrunners are so lazy, just re-using the same old plots and antagonists.

The entire "the world is running out of people" meme is just an attempt to find a non-religious rationale to limit reproductive choice.

According to Wonkette, they're now in danger of deportation because they don't know any Russian, and don't seem interested in learning it

I just read an account of the Nazi occupation of Norway in WW2 and it was a bit like that. The local Nazis (the OG Quisling!) were widely hated, there was passive resistance at every turn, and very few Norwegians were interested in some sort of "racial bond" with Germany.

We started a charity to alleviate wild fish suffering. We spent $30k trying to contact fish farmers via email. This didn't work, so we gave up. We consider the project a success. by gerikson in c/sneerclub@awful.systems

The comments are the best part.

And by best, I mean worst.

Thank you for trying!

We also made sure to enjoy our trip and tried some Turkish coffee and petted some of the stray cats." (Awwww),

Well, cats like fish too so this is relevant.

One thing I reflected on after learning about your experiences is the challenge of getting in touch with other, non-EA established organizations

Who knew that acting in a weird, insular manner would hinder the very thing that was attempting to be accomplished?
