The team who handles hardware generally loves seeing the stickers people put on them.

I used to have Pokemon stickers on my laptop.

I still do, but I used to, too.

Wait until you hear about intentional scarification

Often the laptop is replaced before the feelings change. Each laptop lid becomes a time machine showing who you were at the time.

I work at a large (>50k employees) company that is in every way the opposite of a start-up. Plenty of people cover their work laptops in stickers. The hardware group that handles replacing old machines has a wall of fame for all the lids with cool stickers.

Cold take. This is quality writing. I learned about something and was thoroughly amused the entire time.

Unnecessarily verbose? So you hate reading, I guess.

Took me a bit to realize the last photo has it correctly, and to stop trying to find the discrepancy there. Looking at only the first image it pops out to me because the wrong one is floating closer to my eyes than the rest.

Is it really though? Is it?

Best I know of is /r/rational which focuses on rationalist writing, like Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, Worm, Ra (also by qntm), and a million other things.

As for meatspace, if you have a local LessWrong / rationalist adjacent meetup, those are usually full of people who read stuff like this.

I prefer the original ending, but I don't think it'll change your feelings.

Worm is absolutely not aimed at teens, and it's not milked. If anything I think it could have been longer.

It does absolutely ruin the believability of any other superhero world. Invincible, for example, is ruined for me. That's how good Worm is. It just takes a loooong time to get there fully.

Mother of Learning is practically D&D porn. Also I love the magic system. If we ever get deep dive VR games, I want to be in the MoL world.

It's mainly just an early story thing. They eventually become too busy to have high school drama. Except sometimes they still have to go back to high school, though the stakes are so different and raised it's not really high school drama anymore.

I do agree there is far too much of that in the first arcs, but I think it goes away once Coil is introduced.

There is extremely little romance if you counted the pages compared to the length of the whole thing. It's 1.69M words.
