as someone who has been really critical of a lot of the initial breathless "teehee, weird sex" reportage, i really appreciate this thread for nailing the actual fucked up immoral thing that is happening; you CANNOT consent if your employment or job success are on the line

Happy twenty-third day of the month of September for those who celebrate

Screenshot from opening text crawl of Little Shop of Horrors, saying:
On the 23rd day of the month of September in a decade not too long before our own the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence

"People usually actually believe in the things they believe in, no, like, for real" is something basically everyone fails to grasp about everyone outside their in-group, tbf

when someone is being made by the government to do something under threat of regulatory action, maybe it's a waste of time to berate them for acquiescing instead of actually pushing back against the policies themselves

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

My hottake: encouraging celebrities to "use their platform" and be loudly political is a bad idea not because it's intrusive to polite society but because most of them are dumb as shit outside their chosen profession we don't need to encourage being loud and influentially wrong

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.

"That poll has Trump being assassinated as unfavorable, clearly they don't want him to die" Correct, the average lib wants to see Trump rot in prison while everything he built collapses around him and everyone under his thrall backtracks and insists they always hated him

Higher Education is not just about training workers, but also about training citizen leaders and good citizenship in part means thinking that the details matter, that getting them right matters, because it impacts some of your fellow citizens. "It only matters if job" is poison to citizenship.

It really sucks that killing someone is basically legal in this country if you do it with your car

A Virginia driver who struck and killed a pedestrian less than three months ago had his case dismissed Thursday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and completing 20 hours of community service.
On June 18, the driver of a Prius jumped the curb of a Leesburg Pike service road near Seven Corners and fatally hit 38-year-old Sean King.

Dear Silicon Valley cultists: We’re not getting paid to hate you. We hate you because of your *actions*. Perhaps someday you’ll realize that assuming everybody not in your circle is a moronic NPC is a key reason you’re in this mess in the first place.

Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

If you ask basically anyone "Does vast wealth and unchecked power drive people completely insane?" most would just intuitively say yes. Right up until they are confronted with examples of that exact thing.

One thing I've noticed post pandemic is that there's a lot more Bad Behavior in public and also people seem more willing to escalate, such that you end up not risking calling it out because you don't want to get into a fight.

You know, I’ve always found that if you expect disappointment, disappointment is still just as crushing. Hope doesn’t make disappointment worse. It just makes anticipation better. And sometimes, bad things don’t happen, and good things do.

One thing where I'm very firmly in the camp Feynman is "if we can't explain it to a freshman student, we don't really understand it ourselves." Lack of clarity in presenting one's thoughts tends to indicate lack of clarity in one's thoughts.

Driving is not a fundamental right. Operating a motor vehicle requires sound judgment, self-control, and regard for the lives and health of other people - and if you demonstrate that you don't have those qualities, you should never be allowed behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.
