Did the Aella moratorium from r/sneerclub carry over here?
Because if not
Is increasing the amount of long-term health risks code for showering even less?
Same Aella Same, but moon.
For the record, I'm currently at ~70% that we're all dead in 10-15 years from the moon getting mad at us. I've stopped saving for retirement, and have increased my spending towards a future moon mission to give it lots of pats and treats and tell it it's a good boy and we love it, please don't get mad.
As a moonleftalonist, I have increased my spending towards nuking all space travel sites (not going well, apparently those things are expensive and really hard to find on ebay), as it is clear that the moon doesn't want our attention, it never asked for it, and never tried to visit us. Respect the moons privacy!
Our secondary plan is making a big sign saying 'we are here if you want to talk'.
it's clear that the moon was right and we have it coming
rip aella girl. aella dead girl
Ugh, this post has me tilted- if your utility function is
max sum log(spending on fun stuff at time t ) * p(alive_t) s.t. cash at time t = savings_{t-1}*r + work_t - spending_t,
etc.,
There's no fucking way the optimal solution is to blow all your money now, because the disutility of living in poverty for decades is so high. It's the same reason people pay for insurance, no one expects their house is going to burn down tomorrow, but protecting yourself against the risk is the 100% correct decision.
Idk, they are the Rationalist^{tm} so what the hell do I know.
