Robert Pattinson says ‘TRANSFORMERS’ is the definitive movie of the 2000s.

“In the early 2000s [movies had] super bright, saturated colors and really glossy stuff and it I guess culminates with Transformers and then it kind of ends.”

Peter Thiel represents the central distortion of Silicon Valley: the belief that increasing intelligence and capability will somehow elevate consciousness. But intelligence is not consciousness, and competence is not goodness. They’re worshipping at the wrong fucking altar. Making intelligence the ultimate good when intelligence is only an instrument. That is precisely the distortion from which evil arises: a lesser good is made ultimate, and every other good becomes expendable in its service. Follow that logic far enough and it doesn’t end in transcendence. It ends in annihilation, you fux. This is exactly why Walter Pitts drank himself to death. Hugging face demonstrated this.

11 Great Christopher Hitchens Quotes.

“I’ll try anything once except incest and folk dancing.”

“To whom do you award the right to decide which speech is harmful or who is the harmful speaker? To whom would you delegate the task of deciding for you what you could read?”

“I learned that very often the most intolerant and narrow-minded people are the ones who congratulate themselves on their tolerance and open-mindedness.”

“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god.
Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realise that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.”

“If someone tells me that I’ve hurt their feelings, I say, ‘I’m still waiting to hear what your point is.’

I’m very depressed how in this country you can be told, ‘That’s offensive!’ as if those two words constitute an argument.”

“Those who are determined to be ‘offended’ will discover a provocation somewhere. We cannot possibly adjust enough to please the fanatics, and it is degrading to make the attempt.”

“I have one consistency, which is being against the totalitarian – on the left and on the right.
The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy; the one that’s absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes.”

“When you hear people demanding that the Ten Commandments be displayed in courtrooms and schoolrooms, always be sure to ask which set.
It works every time.”

“The four most overrated things in the world are champagne, lobster, anal sex and picnics.”

“Everybody does have a book in them, but in most cases that’s where it should stay.”

You know what would be interesting? Seeing someone achieve mainstream Hollywood success and then move politically to the right.

He’d be like: “Wait, so we make content most people don’t like, have like a 3% hit rate, chase tax breaks around the country to meet our budgets, write off everything to minimize the taxes we tell everyone else to vote for, live nowhere near the people we claim to represent after we get rich, price urban working people out of the neighborhoods we all flock to in order to make it and then lecture everybody else about how the system that made all of this possible is rigged against them? I’ll at least just be honest about it.

Our CEO called me in a rage because his Zoom calls kept dropping.

He said his video was freezing every 15 seconds and asked if we were under a DDoS attack.

We weren't under a DDoS attack.

I was manually throttling the executive Wi-Fi network down to 128 kilobits per second.

I told him we were suffering from acute packet fragmentation due to an outdated routing table.

I explained that the incoming data packets were colliding in the local cache and tearing each other apart.

He asked how long it would take to rebuild the routing table.

I told him the only way to stop the fragmentation was to authorize my pending $85K budget request for a new fiber-optic firewall.

That request had been sitting on his desk for 3 weeks.

He pulled it up on his iPad and signed it while still on the phone with me.

The second the DocuSign email hit my inbox, I removed the bandwidth cap.

His Zoom feed instantly snapped into pristine 4K resolution.

He audibly gasped and told me I was an absolute miracle worker.

I told him I had to manually reroute the packet streams through a secure secondary tunnel.

I used the phrase "dynamic latency overriding."

He sent an email to the entire company praising the IT department for our rapid crisis response.

The new firewall budget is actually going to be used to build a private Classic server for my World of Warcraft guild.

I don't solve problems.

I manufacture minor technological hostage situations.

Bandwidth is just leverage.

When there is no generally accepted objective standard, when facts become negotiable and reason is treated as just another preference, only power remains. History suggests that societies built on that foundation tend to drift toward coercion rather than persuasion. Those forces, once set in motion, are difficult to reverse, and they don’t appear to be slowing down.
