My favorite days at work are the ones where we see how much crap we can pile onto something before it breaks.

@selentelechia I don’t know how you guys do it. I’m 1 of 4 w/ #5 from my dad’s 2nd marriage. All 3 years apart. Wish we were closer in age but my poor mom idk how she handled us as it was.

If you want to have a good time in life, I think you should believe in some conspiracy theories. They're fun. Life is about having fun.

But if you want to be right, you should probably have a reflexive aversion to every conspiracy theory you hear. It's not that they're all wrong. It's more that the vast vast vast majority of them are incredibly stupid and don't really survive three seconds' thought (see post below for why it makes no sense for Karen Bass to rig an election to help a stronger candidate against her). More broadly, conspiracy theories almost always assume the extraordinary competency of a shadowy group of elites who are very good at keeping a secret. Haven't the last few decades proved that elites aren't that competent? Everybody accusing Karen Bass of expertly rigging the LA election on Twitter right now also thinks she sucks as mayor. What are the odds that the politician you hate, who you think sucks at everything, is exclusively good at rigging electoral outcomes to make you personally upset?

There's more to life than being right, so feel free to ignore the second paragraph. But people interested in being right should be much more reflexively judgmental of conspiracy theories.

America is dotted with mid-sized regional hub cities like Chattanooga that are in general the closest to a best of all possible worlds as far as urban life/rural life mixture a place can get, lots of cultural activities and cool urban aesthetics with generally more manageable traffic and lower cost of living than the “big” cities.

People in the big cities spend much of their time shitting on these lovely manageably sized regional hubs because they’ve never been to them and are by and large the most provincial closed minded people you’ll ever meet

My husband used to have a pretty good solution for this- when people asked for money, he’d hand out his business card & tell them to call if they wanted a job. He did this for years. Not one person called.

I answered the door & goddamnit never answer the door. I just gave - best case scenario - some horrible pyramid scheme bullshit organization money for “children’s books” because I felt uncomfortable & wanted it to stop. Worst case cancel debit card.

If all the smartest+most rational ppl got their own civilization on it would be LEAGUES better than this one, just more functional in ways we can't even imagine, and like 90% of it would be downstream of their ability to understand incentives and ripple effects

[Coddled Affluent Professional @feelsdesperate]

Yeah just look at how universities are such well governed, sane places, that would definitely scale well to the rest of society, I am a very smart and rational person.

There's something very dark about pedophile hysteria. It's not that it simply means we're being extra mean to pedophiles. It's a symptom of something much deeper and highly pathological. https://t.co/bbjRFKIYYu

Think you look ok without makeup? You don’t. “Did you hit your head? …No, I have this thing called melasma it’s like a bunch of freckles all in the same place.” Kms. They think it’s a bruise.

ISO should get out of auditing management, you’re making money because people like the stamp but it degrades you as an institution.

There are tons of talented painters & sculptors you’d drop your jaw at. Set the Biennale on fire it’s fucking derivative. & launch every interface designer into the sun.

@BecomingCritter This is gonna sound nuts but I did actually meet a woman at a painting workshop who lost everything- can’t remember if it was a fire? Keep the family photos. Lose everything else it’s baggage. I bought this painting from her, called “Disrespecting Turner”.

It’s perfectly healthy & fine for older men (& women) to appreciate youth & beauty & also be committed to their lifelong partner & best friend who they’re aging together with. Some people won’t ever have that & honestly, sucks for them but not my problem or yours, let it go.

[W @womanbrained]

Did you hear that young ladies yes your husband will absolutely find you repulsive as you age but you can be a permanent servant and sex worker so he will tolerate you! And that's a great deal somehow
