  • Every year California is becoming more like Night City. Cyperpunk is supposed to be a dystopia, not an aspiration.

  • It's not stupid. Perpetual despondence can kill you as surely as a bullet.

  • We'll now need AIs to spot AI fakes. AI wins!

  • Those are the easy questions to answer.

    How about:

    1. What would do if I became sick? Would you abandon me? Would I abandon you if you became sick, or be there for you?
    2. Are you more important to me than your ambitions, your compulsive desires? Which dreams are you willing to compromise on to make this relationship work?
    3. Are we combining or finances or keeping them separate? Do you trust me enough to access your bank account and spend your money?
    4. Are we each willing to compromise on our jobs so that we both can have good, but perhaps not ideal employment?
    5. Can you imagine being old with me? Would you feel like you had missed on your youth, that your opportunities in life were wasted?

    These are the kinds of things that destroy marriages. People rarely think about the sacrifices they need to make to be married.

  • There's only one right answer to that question. We want a life devoted to each other, until we don't. When has the answer to that question actually changed the nature of a relationship?

  • The Ukrainians should capitulate like the Franks at Poitiers or the Venetians at the Battle of Lepanto, or the Austrians at the Battle of Vienna. Perhaps if the Ukranians were Catholic, the Pope might support their resistance more.

  • Securing a general purpose operating system seems like the Dutch boy with his finger in the dike. It doesn't matter if its Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X. Lots of little leaks, not enough fingers to plug them.

  • When you have a madman threatening nuclear confrontation, when does the probability of a first strike that might prevent significant retaliation have fewer megadeaths than being the victim of a first strike? This is the problem with sustained nuclear sabre rattling. What if its taken seriously?

  • This is like that episode of Rick and Morty.

  • I think the hydrogen is intended to be sourced from natural gas, which is not a great thing. The only way I see this working in an environmentally sustainable way is an efficient means of solar hydrolysis (much more efficient than photosynthesis).

  • No we don't! This isn't argument, it's contradiction! Yes it is! No it isn't! Yes it is! No it isn't!

  • The problem with the 5G phones is that they effect the thought waves of the pilots and put them into a deep dive trance. I can't blame them for wearing those tinfoil hats. Modern aviation is not what they taught in flight school.

  • I remember once when I accidentally turned on my phone during a flight instantly the plane started to plummet out of the sky. The phone slipped out of my hands and I groped for it while people and service items flailed around the cabin as the plane tumbled. Finally I slipped out of my belt and grabbed it. With only 10,000 feet of altitude to spare, I finally managed to get the phone to go into shutdown mode by holding the power button down. The plane righted itself immediately, and I slipped the phone into my pocket quietly and kept a low profile for the rest of the flight.

  • I'd love to see Ryan Cohen short sell the Reddit IPO. What would WSB do?

  • Is Begum stateless? I thought that the UN "Conventional relating to the status of stateless persons" forbids the removal of citizenship that renders a person stateless. She may have to return to the UK to face criminal charges due to her cooperation with a terrorist group, but I do not think the UK is allowed by the Convention to revoke her citizenship.

  • The problem is that ceramic and glass dishes often chip if they are in contact with each other in the dishwasher.

  • It's just amazing that probably the one man who least needs to give a crap about anything has such a thin skin. All of his money can't seem to resolve his deep insecurity.
