[grossed-out face] RAW CHICKEN

[intrigued face] ROASTED CHICKEN

You did it OP, you discovered the reason humans cook food

When someone says “He’s an unbelievable genius,” I now understand that the person speaking is either a con artist or a gullible idiot. Unbelievable geniuses don’t exist, there’s just specialists, people who get lucky, people who work hard. So if you’re saying someone is such a genius, either you have no metric by which to measure genius, or you’re selling something.

“I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”

Cullen is absolutely selling something: he’s selling his documentary.

The various denials and deflections from Todd, [Cullen] claims, are part of a grand and layered misdirection.

Smells 100% like bullshit. I had no take on this documentary one way or the other before, but now I’m very skeptical.

I thought everyone did this, I don’t think anyone in that classroom was actually learning anything about the contents of the text, all anyone could think about is “don’t fuck up saying words out loud”

I have a very cynical reason. If you look at what most religions say about it (against), you have to wonder why they all agree on it and it seems to me that if you off yourself, you’re not supporting the team. When there weren’t many humans, you really needed a bunch of team players on your religion making more babies, and the dead ones can’t carry out your crusades.

Now we put capital above religion, but it’s the same thing: we need workers for our factories. We need babies to become workers for our factories. Dead people can’t make cars or babies.

Alternate suggestion: be tall and wear regular platform boots. Tower over me.

Well, when you get to college, they’ll teach you that writing can have intentional errors, including grammar errors, to achieve a specific effect in the mind of the reader. In your mind, the effect was “I gotta correct this guy on the internet. I won’t bother checking his comment history, I’m just gonna assume he doesn’t know what an adverb is.”

Are you 16 getting an A in English class?

I always feel weird about these, like that dril quote. Shakespeare, Hobbes, Dril, and the people who worked on gargoyles all share the same thing: THEY ARE WRITERS. They know how to write good. They got paid to write good. They built their lives around writing good. These amazing quotes like “face god and walk backwards into hell” don’t happen by accident, they are intentional creations by people who are doing their absolute best to write something memorable, and occasionally succeed.

Weirdly plausible. It only works though if they did this to him on purpose to keep everyone from hearing him speak.

If you are putting something in a special place, SAY IT OUT LOUD while you are still looking at it. “I’m putting the screwdriver on this shelf.”

You’ll still forget but you’ll feel extra dumb when you finally find it again.

Ok but if you see sliced croissant loaf, fucking buy that shit, buy two, immediately. I don’t even like to shop any more at places where they don’t sell it.

This sounds like my bag. The director has done a VHS movie and is otherwise mostly known for being a composer? No idea how that’ll play out. Aaron Paul though.

Everything he knows that we don’t is in a banker’s box of highly classified documents, the location of which he no longer remembers.

The moment every candidate fears: The day an unhinged, barely-functioning amoral lunatic says they shouldn’t be in the race. Everyone knows this is what candidates say to other candidates when they are definitely going to win.

“Abolish billionaires” doesn’t mean “kill anyone you want as long as you catch a couple of billionaires in the explosion.” In fact, it doesn’t mean “kill billionaires”. It means tax them until they’re not billionaires.

This is gross.

That place only makes money from advertisers. It has lost something like 80% of them since he bought it. This is happening despite Twitter’s actual users still mostly hanging around.

The advertisers are voting with their wallets; your wallet actually doesn’t apply here. Apathy of the users doesn’t apply here either. Musk continues to run the site the way he wants because, fuck it, who cares, he’s still richer than god. None of this matters to him.

Interesting. I also had only the vaguest impression of the person pushing the ball, but I definitely caught a glimpse before the ball rolled off the table. Slacks and a blue shirt, that was about it.
