Also a good reminder that the economy becomes insane if one cannot believe that contracts will be honored

I don’t trust polls, but what I do want you to know is that Paxton is involved in something that pisses off the college football people, and college football is a very serious matter in Texas.

I listen to the radio all the time, but I don’t listen to country music post 1980 willingly. I was forced to only listen to country stations in the early 90s, and I have had quite enough of that.

Actually, I’m not really a fan of interviews at all, unless the point is to show that you actually understand the things you’re claiming to understand on your CV/resume, which is rarely the point.

And a significant percentage of your likelihood of getting cavities is just genes. Pregnancy is also hard on teeth, but I’ve had shit teeth my whole life. Fortunately I’ve found a dentist who understands that, wild how dental health is moralized more than other health.

Iced coffee interview discourse is fascinating. Because what is a job interview for? Probably depends on employer/industry. Are they checking to see if you’re a good fit with the workplace culture, or are they checking to see if you know when to be your most polished, conservative self.

People are mad at him because of a college football scandal, but they’re probably going to still vote for him because the alternative might turn them gay or something.

This gatekeeping question is inevitable: "Does the project involve any work that could be interpreted as scientific research?"

"OK so hear me out, the AI industry is controlled by a conspiracy of people who all talk to each other and worship a time-travelling evil AI god called Roko's basilisk. They are trying to be the first to destroy the world so they get to control how it happens."

This is part of the point, I think. This, Project 2025, Epstein, whatever. There’s actual tinfoil hat shit happening, so they invented stupid tinfoil hat conspiracies as cover, so you can’t talk about any of it without sounding crazy.

The dumbest thing about the whole Ed Sheeran thing is he identifies as a "culturally Irish" musician, and is seemingly touring with half of Ireland, and yet somehow had no clue that Irish musicians have been the single longest and loudest chorus of voices in Europe about what is happening.

Like obviously having any visible tattoos impacts people’s impression of you but most of us at least have to somewhat consider whether we achieve some sort of aesthetic cohesion (I say as the holder of some silly tattoos myself)

If you want further advice, find a way to get experience excavating burials. And don’t just take the fun/glamorous jobs, that’s where I really see people get tripped up.

That’s enough to start getting work because there’s a lot of attrition. It’s hard work and it doesn’t pay that well so don’t do it unless you’ve got that “can’t possibly do anything else” hunger. And it’s unethical to charge people to give this advice. That’s all there is to it

Oof there’s an Instagram archaeology influencer who’s selling “coaching calls” for people who “want to become an archaeologist who travels.” Well, I’ll tell you for free. Major in anthropology. Take a field school. Be willing to take whatever technician job you can get after you graduate.

I’ve had a lot of dreams lately that I’m going to jail and/or prison for a silly reason (like that episode of Star Trek where you get put to death for stepping off the grass). Make of that… what you will.

I think it takes some people a LONG time to stop letting the way they were raised by controlling parent impact their adult behavior, and also unfortunately too many people end up in controlling relationships, but yes.

I live in a progressive island in a “purple” state and even I forget what it’s like where I’m from sometimes. Republican is the “normal identity” there to the point that demographics that would NEVER vote Republican in most places will vote Republican

If you have spent most of your life in a liberal enclave this is hard to understand. There are many places in this country where setting out one of those “in this house we don’t hate people” signs is a VERY BRAVE thing to do. And in those places “liberal” and “leftist” are not differentiated
