I can't remember if it was a goon post or an r/relationships post but I remember reading the account of an ostrich handler of some kind where they talk about the one day they had to reluctantly deliver a fatal karate chop to the neck of one of their ostriches who was in heat and giving off some serious "I'm about to disembowel you" vibes. the ostrich survived for a little bit and ran around prob very confused as to why the world was suddenly upside down

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

There's a few more specifics about the competition between the siloed units he set up in this piece, including this part I really liked :

quote:

Units competed for ad space in Sears’ circulars, and since the unit with the most money got the most ad space, one Mother’s Day circular ended up being released featuring a mini bike for boys on its cover.

The browser is a crypto project to have BAT (basic attention tokens) that get "paid" to content creators you visit through the browser. Brave of course collects this cryptocurrency for the content creator!

The tweet seems to be gone but they quoted it in the article.

quote:

This warning is prompted by a company called Brave, who’ve been taking cryptocurrency donations “for me”, using my name and photo, without my consent. I asked them not to, and to refund anyone who’s donated; they said “we’ll see what we can do” and that “refunds are impossible”. So if you thought you’d donated to me through Brave, the money (or their pseudo-money) will not reach me, and Brave’s terms say they may choose to just keep it themselves. It looks like they’re ‘providing this service’ for every creator on every platform. No opt-in, no consent.
