Marc Andreessen on introspection and the benefits of retardmaxxing:
"There's this guy on YouTube who has basically a hundred videos on retardmaxxing."
"He's like my new life coach. I haven't met him, but from a distance."
"It's basically just—retardmaxx. Go to work, do a good job, come home, it's fine. Start a company, it succeeds, it fails, it's fine. Have too much to eat one night at dinner, it's fine. Go to the gym, don't count your reps, it's fine. Ask a girl if she wants to go out with you, if she says no, it's fine."
"It's like 100 30-minute videos about retardmaxxing. And you would think that after the first two minutes, he kind of covered it. But no."
"And by the way, they're all hysterical. They're all absolutely fantastic. It's literally him on his porch in the middle of nowhere with a cigar, and it's like a half hour."
"It's just absolutely spectacular."

wait, this approach to getting heckled is pretty good, but I'm surprised he didn't take the time-tested approach of looking mortally offended and flatly saying "I'm speaking" over and over
it’s sad but girls do KIND of need to have “game” if they’re 23 and trying to fuck 23 year old guys. When I was that age, a woman could grab my cock in a public place and then hire a sky writer to spell out “COME TO MY PLACE AFTER THIS” and I’d think “she’s just being polite”
this specific sentiment is the spiritual core of modernity, capitalist civilization, whatever you want to call it. this is what it all adds up to, this is the type of souls it creates
I hate to backseat quarterback, but I think this campaign may have been more successful if you did it before the Israeli government told the hostage’s families to fuck off, killed a few dozen hostages with air strikes, then hired actors to pretend to be their approving families
more Palestinian kids have been killed by Israel in 30 days than US soldiers were killed in the first 5 yrs of the Iraq war & people politely asking their govt not to support this have to wakeup every day to defend themselves from the most bad faith, racist fake outrages on earth
I hope everyone who played along with the condemnation game in hopes of finding the right set of words that no one could object to sees this. this is a fucking candlelight vigil. they’re not mad at word choices. they’re mad at Palestinians being seen as fully human
Maybe I’m being reductionist, but I really feel like strikes should be kept to meaning workers withholding their labor
In union jargon, when capitalists withhold the means of production it’s called “a lockout”
