back on my bullshit today but not passively. embracing the nietzschean eternal recurrence of my bullshit and choosing it joyfully, for all joy wants eternity
It's funny how, no matter what the field, you see the same pattern of "practitioner starts to despise the more popularly-loved things belonging to that field."
@wmarybeard: "The meditations of Marcus Aurelius is the worst sort of platitudinous self-help manual. 'Always think of the future.' We don't need a Roman Emperor to tell us that."

Listening to nothing much but Hank Williams lately

Remembering a girl I used to work with who didn’t believe in dinosaurs, not for religious reasons but bc “It’s just so silly…” Any time I tried to get her to elaborate, she’d be like “I mean…big monsters? Like…” and mime being a T-Rex until she was giggling too much to breathe
Man: no definition needed.
Non-man (formerly known as woman):
a being definable only by reference to the male. An absence, a vacuum where there's no man-ness.
Half baked idea that this is Newcomb’s paradox irl, you can’t causally affect your child’s upbringing that much (except negatively) but being the sort of parent who would want to positively affect them, does in fact affect them bc 🧬
This is such a funny topic. What he’s saying is true, parenting styles don’t affect long term wellbeing of a child, but parents are extremely offended by the idea that they can’t deeply shape their kids. You can’t, and it’s unhealthy to try to. twitter.com/BarneyFlames/s…
Women think men just *know* things without any context. This is why they ask five questions during the opening sequence of a movie, even if it’s the first time either of you have watched it https://twitter.com/indyfromspace/status/1667896167932231680…
nerd with lame attitude: Studies show im right
Me: ive never read a book so my entire worldview is based on gnosis
nerd: (his glasses fall off)
Me: Catch you later
This is the right one. My parents had ample support from my grand parents to raise me in a semi joint setup. They lived 3 streets away. This has completely blown up. This means - raising kids - which is a full time job - is being done on the side by 2 fully working parents. Even…Show more
Of course, if the Turquoise Serpent was truly insatiable, Itzamma would tell us, wouldn't he?
After all, we pay this guy 1000s of gallons of blood to provide us with safety. It's their job.
Well, that's where it gets interesting. Our producers reached out to Cayucali...
"Berkeley doesn't have affirmative action" is a good example of a technically defensible but straightforwardly false argument that obscures rather than elucidates. As soon as California banned affirmative action, Berkeley openly and urgently looked to circumvent it.
I believe there's anti-Asian racism in college admissions, but, uh, UC Berkeley doesn't have affirmative action, it's been banned since 1996. twitter.com/cmarinucci/sta…

“Conservatives could be here,” he thought, “I’ve never been in MAGA country before. There could be rednecks anywhere.” The fresh air felt good on his bare face.
the "intelligence community" after figuring out that they can get people to believe everything they say again if they just claim that a "whistleblower" said it
As presently used, “The Science” and “experts” are to governance what the grand jury is to prosecution by the state- a figurehead of externalized legitimacy over the reality of the exercise of power.
I am tired of this cucked argument strategy.
"Imagine if this was about jews, wouldn't that sound fucked up?" bro it's fucked up regardless stop accepting the frame that things can only be fucked up if analogized to Official Fucked Up Things or whatever
Alarming how this kind of anti human propaganda is consider even vaguely respectable in academia.
Pick an ethnic minority, and imagine an academic advocating that this minorities numbers should be reduced. How long would they keep a job? twitter.com/PopnBalance/st…
So the conclusion is that the inscription means “the glory of a new age” which is reasonable, but the inscription ITSELF has been garbled to “Gloria novae aetatis”~=“The glory of a new birthday”
*** RETVRN ***
GPT confidently bullshitting here. If I read this right:
-it’s trying to guess what “aecvl” (???) could mean
-Maybe a typo for “saecul__” (age, epoch) - a reasonable guess in itself
-Now, Latin for “age” is “aetat(is)”, but this is in the sense of “12 years of age” only
Exact same here. Well said
GPT is like making the intro section to a Wikipedia page that’s dedicated to whatever nuanced question you’re after
It even told me about the history surrounding specific ancient coins when I typed in their metadata . Really unbelievable
The reason why pitbulls are so unpredictably violent is because living in a home with the smoke alarm constantly chirping is the equivalent of Chinese water torture for dogs
