You don't want to be in a relationship with somebody who is blind to the sacred

For a thirty year old, having a body count of more than 4 is profoundly messed up.

It's not a dealbreaker.

What is a dealbreaker is thinking that it's not profoundly messed up. That's the thing that makes the relationship unworkable.

Sex creates and validates commitment and connection. Being naked before someone else is so rich in meaning and importance that to trivialize it as a more fun way to jack off is insane.

That's the dealbreaker. People who think 80+ body counts are meaningless are unable to get it.

@HansFiene Honestly, it's more likely than building it for multiple quadrillions of dollars.

I saw a tweet a while back that said essentially a bizarrely high number of leaders later involved in the conflicts in Ukraine, Georgia, Syria, and Lebanon passed through the same early internet scene, and were on the same aol chat rooms.

Do any of you have that tweet?

@DPJHodges @lathamphil1 My mental model is that the immigration parties will win nothing and then everything all at once.

They're still in the nothing period.

@Zagarna_84 @GaryWinslett Those aren't harmful industries. They are the backbone of everything you love.

You think you're moral because you don't ask where things come from. You think you're better than others because you inflate the cost of heretically disagreeing with your degrowth presuppositions.

If you're not a fan of enforced frivolity, you can put the bendy side of your bendy straw into the cup first.

@Midwests3rdbest @SeanTrende I think this attitude is probably why these modeling failures are so consistent

Love Peninsula: There's a Costco not too much of a drive away, and while you're at it you really do need to go to the DMV. But in a sexy way. Also, your ex's mom who you really connected with was at the grocery store and you had a nice chat,

There'll be a short 20 year period where writing that is distinctively not AI will be confused with good writing; a lot of cool things will be developed in this time, after which we will see people start to write well using these new conventions.
