DTIYWB. Don't talk if you won't bet. Gambling isn't icky: it adds stakes and accountability to words. Put your money where your certainty is.
Imagine 380 people in a casino. Each one bets 2x their entire net worth on one roulette number. It his a 17, and 10 people make a 70x return. Now, an influencer interviews every rich person in the casino, asking them "How did you make your money?" "Bet on 17." They all give…
There was a time when some country somewhere would have found an added human being to be valuable rather than a burden. There would have been some labor a human could do that was economically productive, in excess of a human's expected costs and crimes. Today humans are ZMPs.

A Japanese man who named himself Chad steel would be my fucking hero
Kinda sick of low-decouplers ngl. Even when it's a case where it's quite tough to tease apart the abstractions, I've been getting quite annoyed recently. Out of patience I guess.
California should flourish. But right now, our cost of living is insane, wildfires rage, homelessness is everywhere, and red tape chokes our ability to solve any of it. I’m 6th generation Californian Dick Lucas and I’m running for State Assembly to unshackle California.
Republicans are wrong about more factual things than democrats but the things about which they are factually wrong are not that important while the thing that democrats are factually wrong about (the blank slate) is the foundation of their entire worldview
A buddy told me that Republicans are factually wrong far more than Democrats. I think this is true (I AM a Democrat), but I think he underestimates how much stuff Democrats also get wrong. Help a brother out! Give me examples of things Democrats have gotten factually wrong!
I'm leaving my usual court in saying this, but: I wonder if this admin would be friendly to mandating a scannable QR code on food and ingredients that points to MUCH MORE data than the current FDA labels? Let more individuals express their preferences and apply market pressure.…
This is the kind of spending increase necessary to deliver on Trump’s immigration promises. And given the stats on net fiscal contributions, it will probably more than pay for itself.
The Big Beautiful Bill increases funding for ICE from $2 billion to $45 billion
MrBeast is a misaligned AGI. A runaway paperclip maximizer, where the paperclips are views and watch hours.
Evolutionary Processes and the Locality of Care The chart below has become a widespread meme. The usual presentation is that liberals care *more* about distant people (and things) than close people. More about the outgroup than the ingroup. This is not what the chart shows.…
Do you guys worry about total Ca:P intake, not just the ratio? 150g of protein from beef and dairy is more like 3g of each. 1:1, but way over modern recommendations.
What are we doing here? Kid was 17. This is the meme but irl and ruining someone’s life.
NEW: Married high school counselor's jaw drops as she's sentenced to prison for having s*x with one of her students in Ohio. 43-year-old mom Emily Nutley was seen fighting tears in court while being sentenced for having s*x with a student. Nutley was the director of academic…
No, it’s causal. We like Israel because jews win nobel prizes and don’t burn down cities.
Let's be real. If these were the flags they were waiving, the Right would have never said a word.
everything in life is gambling and most people can’t take it
Women are unaware that men interrupt each other constantly. When you finish my thought for me, I’m happy, not annoyed. We’ve just shortcut some pointless words. Back to the meat. It’s a fundamentally different way of conversing from girl talk.
Intelligence is, roughly speaking, the ability to perceive abstractions. To notice patterns, connections, etc, and separate those higher order constructions from the words they arise from, and the first order meanings of those words. The smarter you are, the more patterns you…
Aella is genuinely a retard and the reason she's feeling sad is because her simps gassed her up to the point she thought she was smart and she couldn't handle people truthfully telling her that she's not
A great #RolandGarros final. The scoring system in tennis is so good. The dynamic finishing line adds so much drama.
I’ve muted so many people that my timeline is like 90/10 in support of @Aella_Girl. I often forget what the slop machine really looks like.
