sharing my progress in life, and connecting with others along the way

@JeremyDBoreing I’m not white, I’m an American of white extraction.

When I was a teenager, people of my parents’ generation kept calling Millennials “entitled”. I didn’t know what the heck they were even talking about. I didn’t have high self esteem, and I didn’t think I was “entitled” to something.

Now I realize the Boomers were projecting.

@StephenM And they have the shit translated specifically into the major languages of their illegal immigrants.

@armsq17 Rent controls are nonsense that have been debunked by economists ages ago. The cities that still have these are run by idiots.

@L0m3z @realJeremyCarl @Steve_Sailer Wonder not how the Japanese stay so thin. They are underfed because they don’t have illegal immigrants to pick their crops for them.

@Trebornotrub Since you’re curious, you can ask the shopkeepers about whether or not these are four distinct companies, and to what extent they compete or cooperate. The people might know each other—you can ask further about that. Sometimes there’s more than meets the eye, sometimes not.

@MoreBirths More women stop at one or two instead of continuing to pop them out like they would have back in the day. Pretty obvious.

@PiperJustPiper @Based_Hamilton They didn’t “pay in” to anything. That money is already gone. Social Security is a physically unsustainable pyramid scheme that robs more and more from future generations of Americans. It has to be phased out and ended for the sake of all future generations of Americans.

@DavidAlGregory @Based_Hamilton Super unrealistic and entitled. You didn’t “pay in” to anything. Those were just taxes. The money is already gone.

[Ex-Underachiever @Matthewmatical]

@Based_Hamilton “There is no way to cut any of that, politically.”

Just one Presidential candidate with enough common sense and courage could change the national conversation on Social Security and Medicare. Then Americans will realize that these programs should be phased out and terminated.

@JDHamkins I guess what you mean to ask is whether anything happens in the library?

IMO, the best interpretation of “its fairies having a party” involves an existential quantifier: among the library’s fairies, at least two of them have a party.

So, nothing may happen in the library.

@meadandjuniper That’s not too low, but the chart isn’t a good thing to follow, though. It’s the same for males and females, which is dumb, because women should be less heavy than men.

@FloppingAces They would be welcome in West Virginia.

@sfmcguire79 The bureaucracy at state universities has become insane.

A Westerner can travel to East Asia and return knowing less about the place than he did before he had gone.

@PalmerLuckey Actions are louder than words.

@weltszzn Zucchini bread

@Jokke_vlo You know nothing about China.

[Ex-Underachiever @Matthewmatical]

@CorpAbsurdity I mainly want the location independence, so I can actually choose where to live and I can actually travel.

@ThomBrady5 There’s also inadequate education for gifted kids. This is a huge problem. We need major education reform to educate each kid in a way appropriate to his or her aptitude. There needs to be more public awareness of this problem, and it will be a hard fight, but it can be done.
