normatively it is treated as aggression in left spaces to say that this is sick behavior. i do not care. it is sick behavior. anyone not on the internet twelve hours a day knows this, and anything you have learned by watching pales in comparison to the fact that you have forgotten this.

it makes sense they think it's good to be a "high decoupler", given that anyone who understands the value of context will recognize rationalism as a cult

truth nvke: a big part of why straight men are Like That is because there's actually a really large percentage of straight women who demand it

Maciej Ceglowski. he did most of his tweeting under the name "Pinboard" (the name of his one-man software company), if that rings any bells

Fun fact about Barabbas: variant texts of the Gospels record his full name as "Jesus Barabbas", which would mean something like "Jesus, son of the Father". Which... rings a bell

Keeping monkeys in general was a sign of wealth and status, particularly if one had groups of them at one’s various different estates. Thus a wealthy Chinese noble might boast of having 猴s in different area codes.

What he doesn't realize is if the yuri writers get replaced, their backup plan is to finish their papers on probabilistic approaches to nonlinear dynamics. So, it should all even out.

like, say we really do get serious about colonizing mars. we are gonna have to sink a very large fraction of robots into the mars mission. robot fruit pickers are only profitable in a world where we've basically run out of other shit to do with robots. possible, but not how it's gone before

absolute advantage doesn't matter; even in a world where robots can do literally everything better than any human, there would still be a market for human labor as long as we come up with more valuable shit for the robots to do

as an animorphs obsessive, i have often thought about how applegate's reliable one-a-month cadence meant there was no reason for me to turn to fanfic. potterhead friends inevitably found FFN in the three years it took for Order of the Phoenix to come out

i've always found it kinda fascinating that american racists do not seem to have seen Hitler as a kindred spirit at all. like, american nazis were mostly a northern, german-immigrant-adjacent phenomenon; actual jim crow enforcers were all-in on the war

it actually felt vaguely feminist that he never let us ignore just what kind of distress a damsel-in-distress is *really* in. and then uh it turned out there was a reason for that

i feel like there's a threshold beyond which higher skill *impedes* your ability to manage well. like, how is michael jordan supposed to teach you how to guard a guy who's better than you are?

some maybe-helpful context is that there is a fairly common Taiwanese mindset in which the Republic of China government relocating onto Taiwan was *also* a foreign occupation by a dictatorship

so like, "AI will move knowledge-workers out of programming" gets misinterpreted as "AI will destroy knowledge-work" because so many AI-adjacent knowledge-workers are currently programmers?

i think it's true that "cultural class" is a real thing that can be decoupled from wealth and income. but i don't really think egalitarian politics owe the "cultural lower class" anything.

it probably isn't good *politics* to point to this, but even a lot of well-off people could benefit from the security provided by an expanded social safety net. i'm doing better than most americans, but getting fired could still fuck up my life in ways that (say) m4a would mitigate

"punk means dedication to left-wing politics" wasn't well-established in the early years of the musical genre, either. like, "nazi punks fuck off" pretty strongly implies the existence of nazi punks
