windows user century of humiliation

& i had no concept of how malevolent the systems of power within which such people can move are and how desperately and successfully they struggle for control. im imagining showing the jeffrey epstein extended universe to young sarah and i just can't imagine how she would react. it wouldn't compute

it turns out people are much better or worse than i thought, that they can be dedicated to or inspired to kindness in greater numbers and proportion than i could have believed, but also that there is a large portion of the population that consists of permanent demons.

i grew up poor, autistic, transgender and reading zinn, and society still managed to convinced me that we had eventually figured out this harmony thing and were just working out the details + edge cases. i was a capitalist! i thought the economist was a good read! i was the end of history fool

until 2016 i actually legitimately believed that we were all in it together and that with exceptions people were generally well meaning, but maybe a little misguided, and all this business about american values and the arc of history. lmaooooooo

Need a book recommendation. Something literary fiction, by an author you love who isn't Franzen or Delillo or all of those folks everybody knows, someone who you think is vastly underappreciated. DFW recs earn blocks.

got a sinking feeling when a friend of mine from undergrad ended up on the forbes 30 under 30 and sure enough it turned out he'd gone into crypto. idk if he's in prison now but he probably should be

i haven't. although i have heard the dead cells adaptation isn't great

heads up tho

imo with two players the slay the spire board game is straight up better than the videogame. extremely excited to find out the sequel is going to be co op

He didn't actually work there, he apparently just sorta follows his wife to work and gropes people

(I'm surprised they actually banned him)

schumer already typing out "this is a distraction" with his one free hand

not looking forward to the first time a not online friend asks me if i've heard of clavicular

thank you for asking!

the next one. gotta keep hustling...

obama chuckled. "you mean the nlab?"

a senior mathematician once had me pull up a book by mumford and look at two particular pages. then he told me that "the stacks project is largely an attempt to make a human usable version of these two pages"

i lose my mind every time we get a new patreon subscriber ngl. i text my girlfriend about it

when the guy in the chinese room starts picking up on mandarin John Searle shoots him and brings in a new guy

probably not just a put down with benjamin ryan. there's a tangible sense of social, sexual and professional frustration to a lot of his posts that makes me think he's genuinely just a very isolated and creepy guy

that is very true. as if there's a stronger aversion to consequences for behavior that doesn't have some sort of 'technical' flavor

This is a real low point United States

if there's another dem admin this is going to be such a big problem. i think it's clear at this point that the wall of guys is poison to liberal democracy

which, may well have its merits, but we aren't ready for that discussion yet

yeah idk who but ive seen too many even lesser worms on the payroll to doubt it

look at this shit lmfao look at their faces
