How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu talks about this in one of the chapters. A disease is killing children so an amusement park was created for children to enjoy a roller coaster ride instead of dying in a hospital bed.
I don’t think there’s anything to get here. Looks like an artist’s imagination of a hallucinogenic trip. Just a fun interpretation.
I see how it could be uncomfortable. From one internet stranger to another, I hope you know it’s appreciated. That kind of empathy already goes a long way. It might not come out that way but I see it from here.
Some real advice for situations where you’re not quite sure how to address the ethnicity topic: you could just ask if they grew up in <your city>. If they say no, they might tell you where they grew up. If not, let it pass. Not everyone wants to talk about where they grew up. 1st generation+ Asians can be all over the place on comfort with their identity.
Also, if the vibes aren’t there, they might just not want to talk. That’s fine too.
They’re about even. Offline, people can obviously tell I’m Asian so it doesn’t make much sense to say “I’m Asian”. On the internet, I prefer a certain level of anonymity so I just go with Asian.
It’s super diverse in my city. So identifying with my ethnicity is generally an easy way to connect with others. They don’t even have to share my ethnicity. People love to ice break on ethnicity and I don’t mind that as long as they’re not trying to be weird about it.
I am Asian. There are Japanese restaurants in my city run by white people and I don’t consider it cultural appropriation. Cultural acceptability is a wide spectrum.
Appreciate this very thoughtful mod response. It’s easy to get too wrapped up on yes/no answers when reality is far more fuzzy and complicated than that.
As an AAPI, I didn’t see anything more to this than a funny little nod to the people who actually prepare ethnic cuisines in countries not of their origin.
Side question, are the typos intentional?
Dug up an old RPI 3 for the sole purpose of running a bulletproof sandbox for Claude Code. At 1 gb of RAM it’s a little slow but quite tolerable for running —dangerously-skip-permissions and one shot prompts.
Network isolated, Tailscale ACLs in, sudoless user created, and service account tokens setup with minimal permissions to GitHub. It should function almost exactly like Claude code remote. Excited to start testing it.
Cal.com hasn’t been truly open source for awhile despite the marketing. Just the barest minimum of the app is open source. I imagine this is a way to absolve themselves of maintenance responsibility on the public repo.
Thanks!
Doesn’t look like it has Plex support?
Join us! It’s a slow start but that’s the point! Still wish algorithmic feeds are an option though.
Nice. Been looking for something like this. Any screenshots?
100%. I’m surprised Comcast was able to offer $65/mo given the only alternative is ATT at $85/mo (current market rate).
I actually switched to Comcast recently. The only fiber option we have is AT&T and they have been literally adding $5 to our monthly bill every few months or so. What started as an $80/mo deal became $105/mo for no apparent reason.
Comcast was offering asymmetrical 1 gigabit with a 5 year lock at $65/mo. Install came out the next day and it’s been fine. I’m far more likely to hit 1000mbps actual on Comcast than when I had ATT. But on the flip side the service has a tendency to blip every now and then. No major packet loss or anything just the occasional slowness.
Both companies can go to hell the moment my city introduces municipal fiber. But that’s highly unlikely.
Every now and then I will jump back into whatever flavor of MUD seems interesting for a few weeks. They’re so much fun but like you say, nobody plays them.
Haha this is a scene in inside out 2
Yeah 100%. I had to space it out between other reads.
