Satya Nadella on why Microsoft Excel has been so durable after 40 years:
> the power of lists and tables
> the malleability of the software (“a blinking canvas”)
> spreadsheet software is Turing complete (“I can make it do everything”)
> it’s the world’s most approachable programming environment (“you get into it without even thinking your programming”)
@Cernovich Scott Galloway is a bad actor and I hate how RW figures (not you) eat up his slop every time he throws them a bone.
He repackages old red-pill content for feminists and boomer libs. He is nothing and says nothing of interest unless you’re a sheltered media doofus.
My college football team had the athletic department liaison talk to us the last week of camp every year and tell us that if you hooked up with a drunk girl, the university considered her unable to consent and therefore you a rapist.
Not to be a boomer, but youngns don't know how good they have it, they don't remember 2015...
We were told 1/3 men is a rapist.
Propogandized with the "wage-gap" & "manspreading."
Racist babies, microagressions, transformers.
Was a different world. Then the orange man came...
If a rando nurse practitioner can bilk our government for nearly a billion dollars, I think it’s safe to say we’ve probably lost trillions over the lifespan of these social welfare programs.
Wife: Everything good? You seem a little down
Me: Everything's FINE. God just get off my case

Japanese smart toilet: You haven't been pooping like yourself lately, Dolo-sama. Is everything ok?
Me: I can't hide anything from you can I, old friend
Yes, NYC has become a cult. And so have London, Paris and many other cities.
A city is supposed to be transactional. You move there to get access to better jobs, smarter people, capital, culture, dating markets, ideas, luck. You tolerate the rent, noise and chaos because the city increases your surface area for opportunity.
But a lot of people now treat living in NYC/London/Paris as the achievement itself. They’re not building much, not saving much, not owning anything, not starting families, not necessarily living that well.
Social media (and short visits) made this worse. People not living in those cities romanticise them and feel FOMO, while people living there turn the city into their entire personality / personal brand.
Even San Francisco, which used to be somewhat immune to this, is starting to turn into a status symbol for wannabe entrepreneurs...
