Got blocked within 5 seconds for this. I don't think I was even being rude, it's a pretty clearly defined and well understood term. Didn't even get an argument, it's just "no facts allowed that I don't like!" with these guys.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

I've never watched Joe Rogan, but my impression has been that he was some kind of subversive iconoclast. But now finally having seen a little stuff from him it seems like his beliefs actually line up with the status quo but are presented in a way that adopts the aesthetics of being counterculture.

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

FF7 Rebirth is not very good overall, but the Cait Sith box throwing game is maybe the least fun I've had in a game in a long time. The idea is boring and the controls are clunky, unintuitive and sometimes seem to be straight up broken.

The urge to whip a buzzball at the wall is far greater than the urge to drink it.

Newsletter: We are in the era of the Business Idiot, where middle management has seized power, breeding out true meritocracy and value-creation in favor of symbolic growth and superficial intelligence. This piece ties together everything I've ever written. www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-t...

When people think about what makes someone healthy, they usually only consider diet and exercise, but there's a third thing which often gets overlooked, which is SLEEP! I hope one day sleep will be considered just as important and come up with the other two in discussions about health and wellness.

It just occurred to me, I don't think I've ever had a credit card naturally reach it's expiration date. They've all had to be replaced at some point due to identity theft.

one thing that sucks about being american rn is that the helplessness you feel is probably at least in part a product of how much you've been conditioned to believe in the supreme value of individual acts when collective action is our only way out of all of this

If you suggest putting homeless people in publicly funded housing, people will act like you're an insane radical, but if you say they should be put into a publicly funded prison they'll cheer you on. I think people might just be assholes.
