I think the iced coffee at the job interview thing is viewed negatively because, in addition to making it seem as though you aren't prioritizing the interview/are being too casual, iced coffee leaves condensation on surfaces follow me for more trenchant analysis of trending topics

One aspect of living in a personalist form of government is that people no longer expect the laws or norms to protect them. If the king is rumored to be thinking of demolishing a believed institution, people assume they must defend it in person

the actual popularist positions are, like, gently, “make datacenters build their own utilities” or, more aggressively, “political corruption should be punished by public hangings” and has nothing to do with fucking DEI training or email signatures

I think the general consensus of people around the world is that Americans can get fooled by a con man once, but to return him to power a 2nd time after having seen his corruption, incompetence, ignorance, & buffoonery, the problem isn’t just Trump it’s the American people.

The Speaker of the House routinely deflects questions about the president who is in his own party by saying he hadn't heard that particular comment, but every single Democratic candidate is expected to denounce a Twitch streamer?

I don’t think a good definition of “viewpoint diversity” is “you must lower your standards specifically for anti-science, anti-truth, bigots, and fascists — a healthy intellectual community needs those voices and they can’t clear the bar otherwise.”

Can't get enough of the Natalie Harp stuff. The 1:1 parallels with the girl from Obsession. Everyone in rightwing media pretending she's 16 years old so they can be mad, their favorite mood. The phrase "over-the-diaper handy" entering the lexicon. Keep it up everybody.

My theory is that these aren’t related, and the second actually comes from a scarcity fear. These aren’t expensive luxury desserts, they are very cheap things made to look like excess by dousing them with other cheap things.

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.
Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”
