'wow this porn parody is so incoherent, characters just seem to be thrown from scene to scene without point, I can't wait till the real Rise of Skywalker comes out'

i feel like anyone who took this article seriously needs to read the first chapter of mostly harmless econometrics

This is a wildly overblown causal claim based on a correlation

i'm canceling my subscription to the verge because even though i dislike will stancil and have him blocked so i don't waste brain cycles being annoyed by him, the verge published a crap article painting him as don quixote which is kind of shitty considering that we're dealing violent neo-nazis

socialism is the islam of ideology

A throughline for so much of the American political commentariat, from left to right, is the utter and total incomprehension that American actions have consequences.

It's kind of funny how Hayek's (mostly correct) argument against central planning because concentrating that much economic power in one place inevitably lead to totalitarian behavior is also a pretty strong argument against like, extreme concentrations of wealth and market power

so i know that public schoolteachers in the US should be paid more. i also wish truancy were legalized, because school killed my enjoyment of so many subjects. and if i were required to take CS classes as a child I would probably have become Uncle Ted

if only cameron followed my "war on trans people" thread

but consider: nobody's ever died from secondhand gambling

that’s a wine mom imo. we count those

actually a technical easy way to reduce squatting: you choose the value of your domain and you pay an X% tax on it. if someone wants to take it from you, they can bid Y% over the value of the domain which triggers a public bidding war over it. politically it's impossible tho

Get in losers we’re inventing Digitial Georgism! (I agree in principle even though I am an inveterate domain purchaser)

It’s hard to understand how much poorer Americans were during the Great Depression, but as one example, entire families had to share access to one Personal Computer that sat in the “family room.” The broadband speeds were also terrible, below 3G even.

in soviet russia,

In general a lot of moderate liberals find it very annoying that leftists, radical liberals, and libertarians all end up at open borders, missing the "obvious" middle ground position, but the thing is that if you examine the issue at all, borders are pretty damn hard to actually justify

big news my ex is on twitter

this is just a statement of fact? SDL is right?

alright i gotta block will stancil, he's such an insufferable douche. no wonder he got kicked out of rapid respone group chats by his own allies

This post is such a helpful yardstick. It marks the rough, rhetorical frontier for posters. He got a visit from Secret Service for it, but he was not arrested.

making a list of american institutions that are meeting this moment, and so far I've got burning man and paleontology down here... guess we're rebuilding society around the study of dinosaur bones and doing drugs in the desert

Okay but when I was closeted in elementary school I did listen to Born This Way over and over again as a way to help stay sane. on the margin it probably shortened my coming out by a few months at least

nO!! no!!

Pretty clear to me that all the good incentives that come from being able to make a billion dollars are wiped out in a few years as billionaires become people who mainly want to keep their billion dollars.

mmm.....redheads

to elaborate on this: even though doordash and ubereats make less than $1 per delivery, they still are bad because they treat their drivers poorly. ubereats is better than doordash, because doordash actively tries to make it difficult for drivers to figure out if a delivery is worth it.

There is only one working class, the professional managerial class, and there is only one working class party, the Democratic party, and there is only one working class paper, the Financial Times

this is unedited btw

Crazy story: A bank analyst published a report showing Kalshi users lose money even faster than sports gamblers, so Kalshi first tried to pressure the data provider to change their data and then accused them and the analyst of conspiring to extort them when that doesn’t work.

i'm getting back on GLP-1 drugs because i forgot how good it was for me. without these meds, i'm constantly hungry all the time except for like the 30 minutes after i stuff myself with food. and when i'm hungry, i'm pissed.

god. riverdale is such a good show

but i literally gave people two really good options for managing burner emails in a way that's not too inconvenient: Proton and iCloud

most of my friends' security incidents revolve around either 1. "forgot my password" 2. "i got hacked cause i basically reuse my password everywhere" and you have to realize, fixing that shit usually costs them like a month's worth of fuckery tolerance

I wake up at 6am i remove my phone from three layers of Faraday fabric, and check Signal messages using a dedicated burner laptop running Tails OS from a thumb drive I don’t use a mouse; the movement of the cursor could be used for biometric identification

So I'm not saying that Will deserved it. I am saying that Will's pre-Minneapolis posting made it prohibitively expensive for sympathetic people in these circles to keep him from getting booted.

Wtf uhhhh will someone please tell Dr. King about opsec?????? Hello???

Security theater undermining activism is a real thing that happens all the time. People need to sit down and actually learn how to think through threat models.
