do you love SLEEP and hate HAVING COLDS ALL THE TIME then BEING PARENT OF PRESCHOOLER may not be for you

I for one will welcome our Chinese overlords #Beerjacket #China #Tsingtao

While the American constitution and government were hardly perfect in their initial design, many of the governance issues in the country today have more recent origins than people think.

The idea that all this stuff is both fixed and obvious strikes me as…not rigorous.

We print dollars. We are plenty liquid whenever we need to be. This is where his background as a private businessman completely fails him.

The ideal State has invented a kind of WWE kabuki politics that draws the attention of dullards and reactionaries so that sensible college educated professionals can administer social democracy (with just enough inequality to keep us on top)

what in the goddamn fuck is this supposed to mean

Let's talk about abyssal gigantism: The tendency of animals found in ocean depths to be substantially LARGER than shallow-water cousins. This is the giant squid (Architeuthis dux), which can reach 13 m (~40 feet) long from 'head' to tentacle tip. They can live at depths of 1000+ m. (📷:NTNU Museum)

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

Right, like the quality of garments has plummeted over the last 50 years but they're a lot cheaper so the paperclips are maximised it's all good. I also think capital markets have been broken by wealth inequality. Delusions can be sustained a long long time.

Marcus Aurelius invented cbt, no cognitive behavorial therapy. The other cbt was invented by Emperor Tiberius

Almost no matter what we say we'll win in '28 (b/c things will be terrible) & the winner will claim a mandate based on these great things we said. The question is do we want to say that we won b/c we demonized trans people or championed their rights? Remember, we're winning either way.

This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent www.instagram.com/reel/DMVGMIC...

baby sensibilities are too fickle! the newborns are all about black and white dazzle camo, but they grow out of that before they grow out of the baby carrier there should absolutely be dazzle camo baby gear tho

This is Barney. Barney is a very good boy.

The fact that the one game made by an explicitly communist co-op game studio now has three successor studios making a self-proclaimed sequel to it, and dispute the legitimacy of the other two is, of course, the most communist outcome possible.

There’s a bunch of games I would probably try/enjoy more if they had “aging millennial who kinda sucks at this” servers.

You literally cannot say to a country: I want you to reduce your trade surplus with the US *and* invest more money in the US. The reason they have money to invest is by running a trade surplus, and the reason they run a trade surplus is cuz they invest that money rather than spend it on US imports.

Billion dollar business idea/public health initiative: vegetables marketed at men. Right now my working name is ‘Gorilla Food’. Tagline: don’t let a cow chew your vegetables for you

Folks who spend years having to scheme and plot and plan ways to make it to the next paycheck are probably smarter on average than someone who made it big and coasted for the next 2 decades. Because they have to be.

Added benefit, they can’t estimate your range, speed, or heading accurately either.

I'm actually curious: How many folks here who've read Nineteen Eighty-Four were aware it has a hidden happy ending? juliansanchez.substack.com/p/orwells-ha...

sometimes you want a bathtub that has a machine gun the size of a Volkswagen on its nose, EVEN IF it’s vulnerable to bird strikes from the rear.

World in Conflict. Ridiculously fun and easy to play hybrid RTS game with a solid story mode voiced by Alec Baldwin. It had some great licensed tracks too. Felt like it was a victim of the Activision/Vivendi merger and forgotten by their marketing team.

Least favorite 21st-century poetry tic is trying to make line breaks substitute for having insufficient command of meter and diction

i cannot stress enough that they are looking for reasons to go after bluesky and for you, personally, every day is shut the fuck up friday, do not say a word and block on first contact

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

Thank you, @esb.lol, for fixing this crucial mute-words bug

The speed of writing code has never, and will never be the bottleneck. The bottleneck, the limiting factor, is always in the thinking about the code and how it works, understanding it. People who use chatgpt to write code are literally removing the only part of programming that is actually useful.

the core problem with "just triangulate" is that polling shows Harris won "voters who knew what the fuck was going on", which pretty directly implies that you cannot fix whatever problems we have by changing facts. the problem is people who don't know facts.

I think a mistake Democrats make is assuming there’s a large constituency of voters who want things to get better for everyone and not just them.

Dads make diaper changes, but they do not do it as they please; they do not change diapers under self-selected circumstances, but respond to diaper circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. Remnants of past feedings weigh like a nightmare on the diapers of the living.

Totally different. Cigarettes make you feel good

'but they died the most' well maybe they wouldn't have fuckin had to if Stalin hadn't: Let Hitler steamroll Western Europe. Butchered tens of thousands of Polish soldiers. Let Beria murder every Soviet officer with combat experience, including genuine heroes of the Spanish Civil War.

No. I'm sorry, I know we need a big tent or a popular front or whatever you want to call it, but jimmy concepts doesn't get to be a part of it. If he's genuinely recognized the error of his ways, he can atone by shutting the fuck up forever

Anything can be ok under consequentialism if you just completely make up the consequences

neat!

VOLITION - I can't help you. I am totally useless. Everything I've said is lies. I want the exact same bad things you want. To stand here, like a pillar of salt.

What is the maddest boat ever built and why is it Italian monitor Valente?

I can confirm that as a single young man the biggest pound-for-pound quality of life improvement you can make is learning how to cook. Women are in awe, the quality of your diet improve immensely, etc
