I've heard the maxim that money doesn't change who you are, but it amplifies. I think that tends to be true. However, the people you are exposed to in light of that money I think definitely can change who you are.
So yes, money can lead to corruption, but generally it's in an indirect way.

Would you trust your government to fairly and equitably decide who gets such treatments?
The scientific, societal, and economic aspects of eugenics are inextricable.

I just had to initiate a claim because I didn't receive a package that hadn't arrived even though it reported that it did. Although it's a bit hidden, there's at least a "package arrived; missing items" option on the mobile app.

A strong desire to always learn and improve. I respect that there are people that know how to be and are totally content with just knowing what they know; but I personally have a hard time in intimate relationships with people that don't take interest in learning.

*A fourth dimension can be time.
Time is a very convenient choice for a fourth dimension, but "fourth" is purely namesake. There's no reason we couldn't describe our world in our three familiar spatial coordinates with an additional coordinate for temperature, for example. We just don't easily conceptualize it that way because it feels less contiguous according to how we currently frame our model of reality.
Disclaimer: my sources include internet research and far too much time to think. I'm absolutely open to discussion and new ideas in whatever form.
Edit: Temperature is kind of a bad example at face value, but good conceptually. Hopefully I'm communicating my point at least we'll enough to be comprehended.

Or you can be like those people on TikTok that pull their kids out of school and let them "guide their own learning."
I don't remember what they called this cutting edge method.

I loved Severance too. I don't usually go to film for my sci-fi cravings though.
For shows, I really like that just casual kinda mundane tone that sort of parodies reality. Home Movies is great, Bob's Burgers (the earlier seasons were better for this, but I'm still watching through them). Family Guy has those moments every now and then, although I wouldn't call it one of my top shows by any means.
My favorite show is probably Steven Universe. Everything about it was so artistically done; especially the soundtrack. Of the realm of kids/teens shows that were designed for the whole family, Steven Universe is one of the few that I personally think had a great and satisfying ending.

I have a pretty bad fear of spiders. If one is in my immediate vicinity, I generally get pretty spooked. Images of them freak me out too.
There's this huge one that spun a web right outside my window. I'm leaving it alone, but I can see it every day as I'm working. It's one of those with the big orbs for an abdomen.
I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist. I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen. I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal. What about y'all? [ cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/13864053 ]
