A thing I have learned in my time is that there are people who choose to be on fire all the time, because they lack the competence and self-confidence to let their work speak for itself; so they do everything 10x harder than it needs to be, to make it LOOK like they're working 10x harder

For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it. (Matthew 19:12) you love god so much cut off those balls

i look forward to editorial content like "Why aren't poor rural kids starting their own online bookstore?" and "Those who cannot escape our gravity well are obviously doomed to perish in it"

oh man what an amazing time to be a criminal. you can do whatever you want because a weirdo will devote 100% of his time to proving his employer had novelty insurrection t-shirts printed, just chasing ghosts everywhere instead of preventing actual crimes. amazing.

i'm trying to think about a single time when anyone anywhere for any reason got mad at me (or otherwise portrayed some "what you want to do is bad" thing) for having a beer with my friends. I'm 52 years old and I cannot think of a single time.

people only died because of this if you believe people died because of this. you could, for example, construct a reality that people just died of the flu, or because they got the shot. we no longer have an objective, consensus reality so this is just "one side of a complicated issue"

"As of 15 February 2025, rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 452 times, with 449 full mission successes, three failures, and one partial failure" Starship is a grift for dipshits who can be entertained by jingling keys but the Falcon works very well (it has to, it pays the bills)

this is effectively a direct attack on the rural poor, who have no means to interact at low cost with the outside world. No one is running fiber to Cherry Grove, WV, so the local post office is where business happens. Infuriating.

1, trade schools are fine. We need more of them. But 2, they are again taking what are loosely good ideas and fucking them until there's nothing left that is even in the same phylum as "good idea"

using computers used to be fun. there were alternative shells, window managers, music apps, browsers, you name it. All that experimentation, innovation, and freedom, gone, so they can put ads and LLMs into the taskbar. I hate it.

he wants to focus on Mars because it's unattainable. His whole deal evaporates if you ask him to walk next door; he has to keep eyes on walking across the Atlantic Ocean with these cool shoes he's been telling you will be done in 2 years (2015).

I don't understand the endgame here. Turning everyone into dummies helps them stay in power but who is going to do the work in a "knowledge economy"? An imported H1B wage-slave class? AI? What the fuck do you do with all the people in the meantime? None of this makes any sense

why Canada and not Cuba? Cuba you could just pave and turn into one big tacky resort. Seems weird to obsess about Canada when you could make a historical case for us owning Cuba. We already have a base there!

I think I'm maybe a 1.5 at best. Other people esp at work are scared shitless of me, until they discover I'm a "big teddy bear". THEN, they go and tell other new people not to be afraid of me. Stop! Let them learn organically! You're ruining my whole deal!
