Maybe if we funded them better they'd be able to tackle larger projects.

people who want to get out have a very liquid way to get out, but they all need to squeeze through the same small hole.

liquid (...) but they all need to squeeze through the same small hole.

isn't that a literal description of illiquid?

Jesus christ mate, they're listening! Don't give them ideas!

I’m skimming this because again fuck all these words

fuck all these words

Perfect summary of Slate Star Codex.

It's hard for me to even imagine a more apt description of a privileged silver-spoon moron than thinking straw is waste and people would pay you to get rid of it.

Human minds are amazing, I can't even hypothesise what thought processes, if any, led him there

trans men have high rates of suicide too

The ability of transphobes to pretend like trans men don't exist never ceases to baffle me. They absolutely hate that trans men disprove half of their claims by just existing, so they pretend they just aren't real I guess?

If only there was any large active warzone that has largely devolved into positional warfare for two years now to disprove that claim, damn.

In this collection’s finest work, Levy’s sentences are cold poetry of a sort. She deals individual cards rather than handles an entire deck. Her stories are vignettes, and the observations whoosh past your ears: “We wouldn’t be collectivizing the Adderall sector”; on drugs, “I could dig a hole to China and save the Uyghurs”; “Ronan Farrow is the only person who could truly relate to him”; “No one wants a Holocaust comparison, but isn’t this what we learned on those field trips we all had to take to museums of tolerance?”; “I wonder where the girls with mustache finger tattoos are now”; “Last night, Ivan and I were texting about all the hot art-world-adjacent millennial girls he knows who have been diagnosed with autism.” There are jokes about taking Greta Thunberg’s and Barron Trump’s virginity.

The lesser work in “My First Book” sinks to high school graduation speech level. “We are the future of the planet” and “I wonder if we will ever get to where we are going” and “Time has never moved faster than it is moving right now” and so on.

I'm sorry, "lol girls with mustache fingers" is high literature but "we are the future of the planet" is stupid? Did the author flip a coin on each of those to decide where it'd go?

Also what the fuck is this about Adderall, I don't even understand what it would mean to collectivise "the Adderall sector", but wasn't there a shortage of ADD medication not so long ago where people who needed it couldn't get it? Wouldn't we want to collectivise this??

But here's a recipe for success according to the theory:

• start slamming testosterone and amphetamines to get your workaholicism, betterThanEveryone complex, and drive for power

Yet another dude who watched Wolf of Wall Street and thought "yes, this is what peek success looks like, I'll aspire to be like this". Absolute rubes the lot of them.

At this point I have to genuinly wonder how many people using the term "cuck" actually have any idea what it means.

Is there an equivalent of seasteading for me to fuck off to the ends of the earth to be as far away from libertarians as possible?

Sneersteading?

the leading company in the field of cryogenics

I'm sorry, how do you measure that? Aren't all companies exactly tied in cryogenics for having successfully revived exactly ZERO people?
