By day, a mild mannered permaculture wierdo. But by night, a mild mannered permaculture wierdo who's asleep. Firm believer that nearly any problem can be solved with paracord, biochar, well-facilitated discussion, and/or the fall of capitalism.

I think people who at one point may have been underdogs have a hard time recognizing the moment they stop being the underdog

Imagine if you knew someone who hoarded billions of mustard packets. More than generations of their family could ever use. You’d reasonably assume they’re mentally ill. And that would be a reasonable assumption for hoarding basically anything, but when it comes to money, people see it as admirable??

The constant social media demands to "say something." Some of us have been DOING things for decades.

A video game inventory thing I wish we had in real life is the ability to sell any unwanted possession immediately, regardless of whether there’s a market for my unused health potion (NyQuil that’s about to expire)

Often the first member of a marginalized group to get to higher heights is the one to throw the other members of their group under the bus. Most of the first female prime ministers and leaders were very conservative. I wouldn’t be surprised if the first female president of the US were Republican.

And before mass media, it came from elders and storytellers who knew their audience personally and could tailor a story to give a particular person or community the right social script at the right time. I LOVE books and TV shows, but I think a lot about what we lost in that transition.

It’s actually discouraging how much of the discourse gets diverted to “AI good or AI bad” when the obvious and more pressing issue is “AI *companies* are definitely bad”

proposal: we allow network TV to survive but only under federal regulations that require them to trigger a Planet Fitness "lunk" alarm any time somebody lies in an interview. the enforcement ladder for this begins at fines but ends in asset forfeiture

I do not understand the folks furious at trans people for responding in anguish when the party that they've been told would protect them treats their existence as negotiable. I do not understand thinking trans folks have political power and responsibility where candidates have none.

This. The first time I was hit by a car, my head hit the pavement hard enough to split my helmet. I walked away without a concussion. I wear my helmet even if I'm walking my bike across the street between errands.

My very unpopular take is that MAHA is right on some things in defining the problem and very wrong in defining the solution. And if you ignore that at least some segment of MAHA is because of the horrible treatment women have at the hands of medical professionals that's on you...

This boils it down to its essence, right here. Anyone who says that the Charmin bears taking a knee for racial justice or some shit in 2020 was an outrage that demands societal restitution but says nothing about what the backlash has wrought is an unserious person to be safely ignored.

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”
We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.

How would banning halal food work? Almost everything but meat is halal by default. Are they going to require pork lard in all baked goods? Veggies can only be sold pickled in Everclear? Also, Muslims are allowed to eat food made by the "people of the Book", so are Christians not allowed to cook now?

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Israel is a tiny country that absolutely has to obey the US and the idea that it has somehow tricked America into attacking Iran is both horribly antisemitic and, I have to say, a very foreseeable consequence of American liberals insisting the Gaza genocide was carried out over American objections
