@russellito_ @goosemann11 Your little islands have nothing the world wants except pretty beaches. Check out Samoa if you want to see what Hawaii will be without tourism.

@NewAgeRetroNerd Super overrated. The Cover is the best part. Some cool anecdotes about Bell Labs but otherwise didn’t get much out of it.

@ScholarMountain @BowTiedPassport 2 range rovers, a giant plastic McMansion in a shitty suburb, private school to indoctrinate your kids with woke shit and a $50k vacation lmao. Trash brain.

@Jotto999 How much is growth in Poland helping someone in Spain?

@cremieuxrecueil doesn’t know that much of a tech employee’s compensation is stock based and most base salaries cap right around 200k for even very senior engineers? So talking about the actual salary of engineers at Google is basically irrelevant? TC is likely multiples higher

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

The median salary for a Google H1B is only $177,000, an amount inconsistent with their hires being super elite.

Would you accept a compromise where H1Bs are uncapped in theory, but a salary floor is added so only high-salary H1Bs are approved?

@olzhu UCs don’t even accept SAT scores anymore lol

[Joe Smith @CultureIgnorant]

@tenobrus The UCs don’t even accept SAT scores at this point so wtf is she even talking about.

@tapir_worf @SubparMoon 100 years ago it was gambling whoring and whiskey. I’d say it’s a massive improvement. Your holier than thou bullshit is just that.

@mx16d @bimbologymajor The only note I took was “Lean Forward for the love of god!”

@MuseZack Dude I watched The Last Kingdom. I spoke in a demented danish/English accent for weeks after finishing it. If I can handle Alfred the Great shitting himself on screen I can handle this.

@isthisrahul @liron Ah yes resistance. Where you murder babies and teenagers at peace raves! Resistance!

[Joe Smith @CultureIgnorant]

@michaeljelly @tylercowen @slatestarcodex @ben_j_todd Tyler seems incapable or unwilling to understand or engage with this argument. It’s incredibly obvious that there will be no one to pay your shorts out in an apocalypse…

@alexalbert__ Ok but where tf is Opus 3.5??

@amasad @chunbill_liu There’s literally 0 evidence seed oils are dangerous.

@worsematt Pays 268 for a 12 year old car lmao. Like you can’t make this shit up

[Joe Smith @CultureIgnorant]

@HorrorGorl @Buma11252252 Bro paying 250 a month for a 12 year old used car lmao. Sell the car. Get something cheaper. Get roommates. Just proving the QT right over and over lmao

[Liron Shapira @liron]

Literally anyone who understands physics is an AI doomer. Don't listen to these fringe one-prize researchers who think they know something about AGI.

Am I doing character assassination right?

@tuunabish @happygrammy @eyeslasho It’s FBI crime data in incidents per 100,000 population which these numbers are always reported as. Go hide in your closet clutching your guns you fuckin weirdo.

[Joe Smith @CultureIgnorant]

@tuunabish @happygrammy @eyeslasho So you’re admitting that you just have an opinion unrelated to data.

So I’ll start. It’s the safest time to live in the U.S. in at least the last 50 years. You are delusional if you think otherwise.
