In Vietnam I needed a place to sleep and had ridden all day in the heat. I stopped at a small rural home stay. To ensure my comfort I asked the owner if my room had AC. He translated “friend, nearly every hotel and house in vietnam, no matter how expensive, has very good AC”

@OnodaCapital So he went with Google who has lagged behind OpenAI and Anthropic and now open source chinese models in an emerging technology they invented?

Alasdair MacIntyre's critique of Great Books: "Proponents of this type of Great Books curriculum often defend it as a way of restoring to us and to our students what they speak of as *our* cultural tradition; but we are in fact inheritors... of rival and incompatible traditions."

I cannot stress how much more I would rather read Borges or Gene Wolfe than this piece of pretentious garbage

@FischerKing64 Where do you find these essays and magazines? Recommended on x or were you already familiar with the site?

Its my favorite reading format lately but difficult to find new material (literally new as in coming out now)

Law school at a T14/T6 provides similar freedom. Most schools curve to a B or P/F. At top schools you are all but guaranteed path to 225k+. Only grades are final exams.

You do take on some or a lot of debt but in return you recieve a highly employable vocation in US cities

Counterpoint: doing a PhD in the right field is the only way someone from a non-trust-fund background can live as if they had trust fund. In better programs you get paid for 5 years to do what you want, study what you like. True in most social sciences, humanities and the hardest sciences (pure math, theoretical computer science, parts of non experimental physics).

To give you an idea of scale, during the Rape of Nanking, Japanese soldiers were estimated to have raped 20 to 80 thousand Chinese women.

This report estimates at least 250 thousand women were victimized by these Muslim rape gangs.

@Molson_Hart If this is the case then every 6-7% loan is actually a 0-1% loan

@BartSimpson9021 My point is that the quality of life for an average person in SEA is not that much worse. Buildings are less pretty and healthcare is worse. But its not 60-80x worse despite a GDP 60x-100x smaller. And less crime. They do the same stuff we do and even scroll older iPhones to boot

“Rock n Roll” was literally a euphemism for sex. It’s where the name came from.

Imagine hearing this song and not wanting to get slutted out to it. Pack it up, player. You’re done.

@LandsharkRides The outermost skin underneath the onion shell is bitter and often has a slick skin with an unfortunate texture. Discard it.

If you quit your job find a small business who is willing to say you worked for them during the interim. Corporations will overlook the gap.

We're banning raves, because we don't want you having fun where we can't watch you. By the way let me tell you about Woodstock.

We're cracking down on underage drinking. It's bad for you. Yeah of course we hit up the pubs at your age it was great.

We're banning smoking, but just for you - the smoking age will go up one year every year. Oh yes of course, we used to be able to smoke inside everywhere, it was great really.

We're banning flavored vapes. We don't have any evidence they're bad for you, you just like them too much.

We're banning dodgeball during recess, someone might get hurt. Yeah we really enjoyed dodgeball too.

We're banning flirting, because it might make the girls uncomfortable.

We're locking you in your room for the next two years. Yes we know you're in no danger from the virus, but we're worried that you'll get us sick. By the way you have to take this needle if you want to leave your room again. Yes, twice. Well there will be boosters too. No, we aren't worried about side effects, that doesn't effect us at all.

We're closing the frat houses, because we don't want you having fun without our permission. Please join these officially sanctioned university clubs instead.

We're bringing in labor from the third world to work the service jobs, so you can't have a summer job.

You need to go to university to get a good job. By the way we're raising the price of tuition. Oh look we're raising it again. Don't worry there are loans. At interest.

Actually we're giving the good jobs to the foreigners we just imported, to make up for our racist past. We are very good people. No of course we aren't sacrificing anything. You just have to take one for the team.

Also, we're giving the foreigners the houses. We needed to increase real estate prices. For our pensions, you see. Sadly no, you'll probably never be able to afford one yourself. By the way don't forget to pay your taxes. Need to support those pensions somehow! Eh? No, we're giving ourselves tax breaks of course. Seniors discount you know.

Oh by the way, that one thing you still have, now that we've banned joy and kicked every ladder out from under you? That social media stuff you kids like? You guessed it! We're banning that too! Just for you though, we're still going to watch AI videos on Facebook. It's for your safety, you see. We've noticed that you're all getting rather irate, and we think it would be better for your mental health if you shut up for a while. Why don't you just go outside?

Eh? No of course we aren't going to stop Ahmed and his twelve illiterate cousins from raping your sister, that would be culturally insensitive, which would make us feel very bad, and we can't have that.
