Personally know a faculty member at Barnard who fled the Holocaust as a child. Sure he must just be delighted to witness such terrifying bullshit. Fuck these monsters.

I feel like the contradictions are the point. The most desirable trait of people like Tate or Trump is their impunity. They keep getting away with heinous shit, it's the one thing that makes them demonstrably powerful, despite being disgusting, unimpressive scumbags.

Campbell's first law of motion

Doesn't musk have a story like that about chess? Like he doesn't play because he finds it too easy.

God he reminds me of this kid I knew in college who would make up these long stories about beating up his bullies in highschool with his amazing karate skills. How do you go through life thinking you've convinced anyone of such obvious bullshit? It's even sadder that they seem to have convinced themselves.

I kind of got both that impression and its exact opposite, like the whole paragraph feels like a long wink and a nudge, like the author would like to say "maybe fixating on 'line go up' distracts you from all that is good in life" but that would negate The Economist's entire raison d'être.

It's like Schrodinger's argument.

It's like they desperately want to prove how awful their 'innovations' are.

I'm getting Egger from MIB vibes.

With all the stuff about the ruthless efficiencies of multinational corporations, I took it more to mean 'ill cough up the dough for a fairphone next time'. But maybe I'm projecting my own reaction to getting fucked by the 4a (all things considered, I'm actually kind of ok with the degraded battery life in the end, spent the 50 bucks on a couple external batteries and I rarely even need to use them).

Well to add some more pedantry to this conversation, only one of the explanations makes sense, the other is obtuse for comic effect.

Let's all have an awful party together 🥳

Because placenta means cake in Latin, what we today call placenta being referred to in Latin as 'placenta uteri', 'womb cake'. Yum.

I watched the first few episodes and he comes off as an entitled techbro moron. The last straw for me was when he went on a rant asking 'what does NASA even do anyway, just let SpaceX take over'. Typical silicon valley bubble self-aggrandizing, thinking tech disruptors have anything to do with actual scientists, the worst kind of hypercapitalist obscurantist bullshit.

It's not an excuse, it's an explanation. Illness doesn't excuse bad behavior

We have tohu-bohu in french, same meaning

Damn. Well said.

Out of curiosity, what's the advantage of the french cleats? Do they dampen the noise somehow?

It's trump. There's obviously no plan.

Entirely irrelevant, but at first glance I thought this was a post about Crosby, Stills & Nash

Lol, expecting words to mean something, how stupid.

I can't tell if this is satire. So arrogant and superior, and so, so stupid at the same time.

I don't know man, I got a box from haci bekir in Istanbul, the flower and spice flavors especially were nuts. If I lived nearby I'd have a problem.
