Jesse singal literally wrote a whole article about an imaginary me and then asked people to be furious at his fantasy version of me.

I got turned down for a job at a marketing agency but just learned they're adding applicants to their general mailing list and may not have been really hiring at all.

not to nitpick but more an excuse to share the story, the captions should be switched because D-Wade has a trans daughter and when she came out all he did was research how to still be a supportive father saying things like 'I will do whatever it takes for her happiness and joy'

why do I even bother going to bed at this point? Why do I even own one?

feeling some nostalgia for when stories about a known sex criminal hiring a neo-nazi were usually confined to the dumber tiers of the professional concussion industry like this

the text established The Boys are seasonal, returning as weather warms just before summer comes around. The Town does not drive them away any more than it drives away migratory birds each year. Their machinations are beyond human influence.

Oddity could have stopped at so many points if he just stopped doing stuff.

I Care A Lot isn't horror but basically everything is the main character's string of bad choices.

"Troy, you can't just interpret everything through a crude anarchist lens of self reinforcing social hierarchies." I can until it's wrong.

I think it's more a widespread belief about leadership titles in general, not just government. Executives aren't asked to actually produce or enhance the production of anything, they just talk to friends and count any time they vaguely remembered a work thing at the pool as hours of labor.

Harris was explicitly pro crypto! She talked about it during the debate! Increasing participation in crypto markets was a main pillar of the plan she released for young men! You're not fooling anybody!

Hey. Hey! Everybody! Stop! Whatever you're doing is making the moon pissed. Knock it off.

it's so stupid to give up on sleep this early but I might as well do some yoga and kettlebell stuff since I'm clearly gonna be awake for this anyways

Sex in pornography is a performance of a humanity which people need to understand is staged before they think emulating an entertainment product on a real person is ok, but also, good sex is a performance you do for the partner(s) you are doing it with and becoming good at that performance is human

do you mind a slightly unhinged response to this? It narrows the ideas of communicating the self and performance but won't resolve them.

a lot of people forgetting that W Bush publicly and privately called the "war on terror" a Crusade which he believed God spoke directly to him to pursue until comms people told him to dial that stuff back and say the neocon lines about spreading democracy or whatever

Is this a lunar eclipse thing because if not the lunar eclipse tonight* is a good way to hide training for the day

I wouldn't have written a long review laying out my case if it was received poorly as it should have been. Waiting for it to get good like everyone said made it that much more grating.

Tariffs end up declared illegal and then refunding the companies instead of the customers they passed the costs onto is an absurd and pointless transfer of wealth from people to corporations that I'm sure a lot of think tanks wish they had thought of in hingsight.

Have to admit the Trump admin flails in ways that ultimately work out for their political project. Rebuilding Venezuelan oil production is too costly to get interest from US companies at current prices? Let's destabilize Iran and the Strait of Hormuz and see where that math ends up.

Just like any other thing made with AI, why should I care what you have to say if you won't bother to put in enough effort to say it yourself? Why should I believe you are capable of and willing to do a job?

"Huh, yeah, Wario would be a Terran if they put him in Starcraft" is not a reaction I'm proud of.

Having a sleep disorder can unlock cool experiences sometimes, so who's to say if they're good or bad.

If you cook poultry to 165 for one second you've killed like 99.99999999% of the bacteria in it. Holding it at 155 for 40-60 seconds does the same. There's a surprising amount of wiggle room to stay safe. www.canr.msu.edu/smprv/upload...

they're different flavors of right wing idea laundering machines for so called respectable centrists, the former essentially being a manosphere guy at Vox and latter opposing labor and regulation at The Atlantic.

I get that the social team is pressured to post when things happen but maybe have more than one tone for when things have certain contexts everyone hates.
