I actually have a shrimp torture farm. It brings me infinite joy. However its running costs are quite high and I require donations to keep it going
ok so couple stub sneers I thought of when reading this:
- One way to look at EA is as an extension of the middle-manager's syndrome of injecting metrics everywhere to allow them to spin up narratives of growth and improvement to justify their existence. I can't decide who I hate more!
- following on from 1, it's kind of funny that the EAs, who you could pattern match to a "high school nerd" stereotype, are intellectually beaten out by an analog of the "jock" stereotype of sports fans: fantasy league participants who understand the concept of "intangibles" that EAs apparently cannot grasp.
- it absolutely tracks that EAs, who see charities that spend money on administrating themselves as inefficient and incompetent, are dumbfounded and bereft of answers when any of their organisations implode
E: linking 1 and 3: together: EAs are self hating middle managers.
I guarantee that they are even more stupid than that
Trust me when I say there’s nothing worth reading in the article beyond the headline:
He would be right if he meant in the sense that Bruce Wayne ineffectively leads a personal crusade motivated by unresolved childhood angst, and that the world would be much better off if his money was just spent on basics needs for the people and he went to therapy.
Yeah sure, just learn university courses before puberty. And then again after.
It’s called learnmaxxing and it’s only for alpha males
Given that Ellison star-witnessed her ex into >200000 hours in the clink, I dread to think of what might happen to the person that marries her
Something that Musk commissioned is badly constructed? That’s a first.
insert that clip from the IT crowd but instead of “made in britain” it’s “made by musk”
If I were the judge handing out the sentence:
“Well, if your son is a strict utilitarian, let it be known that I am a utility monster and would derive infinite utilcoins from him being in jail for a million forevers.”
I would not make a good judge.
Shit like this is why I hate nerds. (Note: am nerd, by any sensible measure.)
I keep coming back to this. I've been thinking about the internal monologue that necessarily had to happen to get here.
"Speech taboos exist."
- normal reply: "Yeah, words only have meaning due to baggage; some words carry heavier baggage, making them taboo in ordinary conversation."
- this fucking guy: "Words shouldn't be taboo; that's irrational."
"People end associations and friendships based on word choice."
- normal: "Not hard to imagine."
- TFG: "There is literally no reason to end a friendship over word choice unless the other person doesn't let you use slurs in casual conversation."
"The best way to get to know what ideologies someone subscribes to is by dropping slurs in conversation."
- TFG: "Yes, and it's really important to test the ideologies of strangers in the most flippantly casually offensive way possible, which doubles as a great first impression. You will look alpha as fuck by using slurs."
- normal: "Huh, haven't had an intrusive thought like that in a while. Where'd that come from?"
"It's ok to say the n-word as long as you don't think about race at all and never with any negative sentiment."
- TFG: "Yes, this is the extent to which CRT needs to be taught in schools. Then we can teach rationality and run IQ tests."
- normal: "OK I really need to see my therapist; maybe it's time to try Wellbutrin."^1^

The US deploys tear gas against protestors on the reg. Meanwhile they straight up merc’d MLK. Clearly the US thought MLK was worse than tear gas, so not sure what point the OP was trying to make.
