environmentalists think we all snuck one past them getting to own refrigerators and that if things had been done properly you'd need to pass their "cost benefit analysis" to be allowed to own one
freezers proliferated way before the external costs were properly understood, if they were invented now we'd have to do a proper cost benefit analysis as with AC. and likewise when the grid is largely decarbonised then i don't care, put a freezer and an AC unit in every room

I'm not sure how many pounds of chicken wings I consumed at Sizzler over the years, but it was a lot.
I will not eat the Crumbl cookie
I will not live in the McMansion I will not eat at Panera Bread I will not drive an extended cab F-150 I will not live the Republifat lifestyle
Sizzler was founded in 1958 by Del and Helen Johnson in Culver City, California. The original idea was to offer affordable steak dinners in a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. By the 1960s, the chain had begun expanding and experimenting with self-serve options. The Salad Bar…
One of the common questions in development econ is why so many countries had positive growth trend breaks after WWII. This papers claims it was due to deliberate US tech transfer, with individual firms seeing 25-50% productivity improvements and speeding tech adoption by years.
from the dispossessed majority: the negative response to the moon landing, particularly from norman mailer who called wasps "the most Faustian, barbaric, draconian, progress-oriented and root destroying people on earth" & the moon landing the perfect expression of nihilism.
Will Stancil:
Non-Minneapolitans need to understand how insane this is. Most people at our city endorsing convention now agree the first ballot was broken and affected the result. But because a DSAer won, the left has made “caring whether the count was accurate” an ideological litmus test.
“Underrated possibility” If you believe this I’ve got a bridge to sell you…
One underrated possibilty for the next few decades is that we see an internet-driven resurgence of sectarian violence between Christians in America.

It's going down. Meet me after school tomorrow.
Good discussion on the third worldization (sp?) of American politics. Garett Jones vindicated.
A far-left backlash is coming—but it won’t look like Bernie Sanders-style, old school socialism. It’ll look like Omar Fateh and Zohran Mamdani: post-American politics fusing transnational grievance with the woke self-flagellation of white elites.
I will never, ever, ever, watch one of those stupid debate circle videos. Sorry.
They're both bad. Elon could have just rolled back the old regime's heavy handed censorship and it would have been great but he also implemented retarded shit like link suppression and paid content posting (incentivizes low quality engagement bait).
I can't imagine why Twitter was so messed up.
You should save 10^100 shrimp instead of one human, because 10^100 is a very big number. If you are 99.9999999999999% sure that shrimp feel 0 pain, and .00000000000001% sure that shrimp feel a 1/10000000th the pain humans do, this would still be an easy decision

Funny thing about universalist utilitarianism is that it implies that we should sacrifice vast, maybe even infinite, numbers of lives to protect the only group who consistently instantiates universalism: Anglos.

While I wish more people were having children, its good that people are leaving unproductive towns for more productive metropolitan regions. Its 2025, we don't need an army of fieldworkers harvesting grain.
Slowly be surely, we approach hive cities. The heartland will soon be covered in vast tracts of solar panels and completely automated farms

It is funny how reductionists are so averse to the simplest explanation: Maybe elephants are kind-hearted?
