Doesn't something have to be the first something before it's a next something?

It's a testament to our connection with them that we feel it so acutely when we have to help them move on. Sending all the vibes.

You know what? I've owned one of those four cup egg poachers for over 30 years. It just sat in a drawer full of other pans and stuff. I got it out this year and it was a complete epiphany that perfectly cooked jammy-yolk eggs are just 4.5 minutes away literally any time I want them. Wow.

Ooof. I dunno. The SQL that linq generates (at least in the way we use it in my workplace) is, IMO, an abomination.

Yup. I think so too :)

Well, THERE's something you don't see everyday. Unless you work there, I mean.

What in the hell kind of bubble is this man living in?

Hmm. How about cheer loudly in a very over the top way for every stupid thing he says and don't stop.

Blast social media with fact checking in real time video. Provide the reality based alternate narrative to everything that comes out of that man's mouth.

Having just gone through a colonoscopy prep, I mean, that's pretty close.

I remember having the same epiphany while fishing in Ultima Online.

All the things dude mentioned here are baked into social media writ large.

*I mean that this won't reach people, not that it shouldn't be done because it's the right thing to do. I should have been more specific.

It doesn't matter what Democrats do in policy terms if they're trying to reach people that have been completely brainwashed by social media.

Is that before or after the seas turning into blood? I'm guessing before.

The companies themselves seem objectively 'successful' from the outside. Can you point to something that supports this narrative? I'm not challenging you, I'm just curious....

That is an angle I hadn't considered. The money follows him, rather than the other way around, sort of.

Someone else commented about a much lower barrier to entry in the gaming community, and I think this echoes that sentiment!

'Optimized for quippiness' might be my newest favorite combination of words ever. ☺️
I completely understand what you're going for there.

The first bit (leadership...delusion) seems a little reductive, but rest is damned insightful. Thanks!

It's certainly more understandable, relevant and personal to them now! Emperor, clothes, etc.
Wow.

This is actually a brilliant exposition of a pattern that has replayed itself over and over in his life. Someone else does the heavy lifting. Elon steps in and takes credit for it. Oddly, it's apparently easier to do in the world of hi tech manufacturing than in the gaming community.

I would absolutely love an opportunity to feel anything about my privately employed music instructor spouse making more than me, because she works harder than anyone I know for less compensation than anyone I know.

Just this afternoon I was thinking about how my Timberlands have unusual longevity.

He really looks like 1) his dad here and 2) pretty happy and both of these things make me feel happy.
