Stop trading & believe in something

I don’t think they are, mate.

Everybody is a conservative about whatever they actually care about

The Nowak case clearly highlights that we need to stop treating racism as an ~infinite evil, not because Nowak was racist (no evidence of this) but because any time you create a social superweapon like accusations of racism are now, it’ll be misused horribly.

What is racism? Ask 10 people and you’ll get 12 opinions. Historically, it meant someone who treats people badly in interpersonal interactions because of their race. Which is just, like, kinda annoying and slightly boorish. It’s not the apocalypse. There are many personal traits that are equally or more annoying.

Now the definition has been ludicrously expanded to include a bunch of things even less objectionable than that, including belief in very plausible scientific claims and policy preferences that were near-universal for almost all of human history.

Racism just isn’t a big deal. We have to take it off its pedestal. If Nowak had said something racist, it would morally change exactly nothing about the horror of what happened to him. He didn’t, but I feel over-focusing on that distracts from the fact that it wouldn’t matter if he had.

Murder is worse than racism. Hell, shoplifting is worse than racism. Enough. Who cares.

Have you considered the possibility that it’s not a bubble and the world is indeed changing at a pace humanity has never seen before, anon.

What if Mt. Everest had been born a small hill in Tennessee? It’s so lucky it got to be a big mountain instead.

if you want to win, you have to take responsibility for outcomes in your life

even if it's not your fault, it's your problem

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

You have to take this argument to its logical conclusion. There are ten quadrillion termites on Earth. There was a 99.99% chance that your parents would've given birth to a termite. You're very lucky that you -- literally, physically you -- weren't born a termite.

Sell in May if you’re gay

I think what pisses me off the most about that clip of Pokimane saying rich people like her are okay but the “ultra rich” are bad is that there is absolutely no universe where Pokimane deserves her money more than Jeff Bezos deserves his. This is incredibly obvious

[TONY @TonyMichaelX]

wish me luck

@ShortSeller This part of your post makes no sense.

LITE “Support here likely doesn’t hold due to fugly market could fall dramatically lower and still be in a nice uptrend. Hit our first measured move objective….leaders lead // flag break this week(?)” wont hold also might break? Fugly?

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

If you want a rare life, you have to be delusional. Doubt can enter your mind, and it can sound reasonable, but if you entertain it too much it will slowly drag you down into stagnation. I'd rather reap the lesson from massive failure than do nothing because it's not "realistic."

🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).”

“Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said.

South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices.

A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors.

Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%).

That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.

Seeing this and exchange and saying that it "works" for women is actually the ultimate in condemnation of the entire way that the western world has been set up

Woman sees famous guy -> DMs him for a plane ticket and sex -> gets a plane ticket and sex -> success

Success at what? The woman brain simply cannot process the question any more deeply because the woman brain has been under selective pressure to see that as the end goal because men will take care of the rest of the process by removing choice from her

The "success" here it totally empty, changes her into someone no man will happily marry and gives her a thrill that lasts a few minutes

Our society has utterly destroyed itself because no one really understood female nature and what women would chase when given total liberation

"Surely they will just compete harder for husbands" - quote from men who only ever saw women in a world where they needed husbands

They're calling it the most female tweet of all time.
