I wouldn’t describe them [Border Patrol] as nationalistic

What exactly is the role of border patrol if not to literally enforce nationalism

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.

ok so couple stub sneers I thought of when reading this:

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Also: note that it is centred around her sister. Note to self: do not direct LLM to write erotica about a sibling, because that is not a normal thing to do for someone turning over a new leaf.

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

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.)
