Same number unweighted squats as pushups feels like leg day erasure.

Starting to kind of feel like undergrads need to have at least three years of philosophy courses, psychology , and sociology courses before they're ever allowed to touch an "AI" system

The absolutely dominant intellectual project of elite media and punditry for the last decade has been the instance that it's illegitimate to hold moral standards, and it's finally paying off for them.

Same with crime. More and more I’m starting to believe real life experience has nothing to do with politics these days.

In my defense my wife was watching America’s Got Talent and that always gets me in a kind of Lovecraftian mindset.

It's a bizarre and frankly alienating feeling realizing that if you know the basic fact that the murder rate has gone down significantly since 1990 you're in the ~90th+ percentile of fact-knowers

They replaced my streets old sodium street lights with LEDs and I’ve never been more ready to file 311 complaints. Shit is like car high beams aimed at my house.

the Leatherman Skeletool is where it's at. just what you need, and sure it doesn't come up all the time but i've used the screw driver and pliers and even the knife on random occasions. i use the bottle opener all the time.

A lot of 12 year olds are going to learn the phrase "op sec" in the next few years.

"Are those burner shoes?"
"I didn't think --"
"You're not SUPPOSED to fucking THINK, Skylar, you're supposed to follow FUCKING PROTOCOL."

I know feeling safe doing so may be a privilege, but calling these people out at the moment is the way to go. A lot of these folks have just never been called on their bullshit. They have shame they just don’t know it yet.

β€œhow many trans kids are currently playing high school sports?” is the only reply you need to this bc theyre going to guess β€œthousands” and then you can say β€œits a dozen give or take, so why the fuck are you wasting my time with this non issue”

Really does perpetually stun me how many people in the US fundamentally don’t believe in pluralism. Like I don’t like purity balls or Hillsdale college, but yeah I think that shit has a right to exist in a free society. But they want to burn down everything over drag shows and Oberlin existing.
