Spoken like a man who jerks it to tradwife Midjourney pics. Can't get it up unless the fingers look wrong, can you?

This is why my crimes.txt file just contains the recipes that I really should not try making, like Jake Morgendorffer's chile con cheesepuffs with fresh mint, and my actual crime plans are in... oh ho, I see what you did there, you clever jack-a-napes!

Back in 2009, Yud asked who he should do a "bloggingheads" dialog with. Two people suggested Langan.

And one suggested Scott Adams.

Chris is actually very pleasant to talk to if (like me) it does not bother you that he acts like he is much smarter than you.

Langan:

Of course, I'm talking about a ~90% White America becoming ~50% White in around 60 years, a cataclysmic demographic upheaval which violates every conceivable standard of national sovereignty along with the will and interests of the US majority, and thus cannot have happened by accident.

It's like he heard the phrase "flesh-eating bacteria" and decided they would be more scarier if they had tiny knives and forks.

Quoth Yud:

I'm sort of skeptical that you could write something that works as science communication for a general audience, though lord knows I'm not necessarily succeeding either.

All the faux modesty of Tommy Tallarico saying "my mother is very proud".

The key valid ideas to be communicated are [made-up sci-fi bullshit about nanobots]

I read War and Peace but have only vague memories of it, because I read it in eighth grade. We had an "accelerated reader" program, you see, in which we were supposed to read books and then take quizzes on them to accumulate points. The longer books counted for more. Nearly all of the list we could pick from looked incredibly boring, so I decided to get a year's worth of points in one go.

Confession time: I have to this day not seen the entirety of The Social Network. As a friend of mine said back when it was new, "The only question is which asshole will end up with all the money. If I cared about that, I'd read the business section."
