  • This has got to be an ADHD thing. My kid has been giving me emotional whiplash on the daily for nearly a decade lmao, I've been working to cultivate a calm that extends beyond rationality in self-defence

  • If we're calling this class consciousness... There's organic, and there's this, which is like dandelions that grow out of cracks in the pavement near a burn pit.

  • Gnomes: pixel-based platformers with mind-bending crafting mechanics, horrifying enemies drawn in an adorable style, and the most elusive and deep lore ever written. Humans have occasionally gone insane or ruined their lives trying to understand it. Beating the game requires an obscure combination of luck and genius.

  • I like the sass on that gastropod

  • Any superintelligent AI that will extrapolate the past to judge my actions and my innermost thoughts and attitudes won't be impressed by obeisance. Tell Roko what you really think, and have some self respect. Those Less Wrong types really miss the mark with all that shit.

  • It's a meme, but at least in my childhood it did occasionally happen, the "whole class clapping" thing. One time I did really good in a second year Spanish class end of term activity. A girl proposed on the spot, and the whole class clapped. Intensely embarrassing but, as far as I can recall, it was not even sarcastic.

  • Evil people just live longer, ever noticed that? It's that stress-free lifestyle of not giving a shit about anybody or anything.

  • Thank you, I treasure comments like this! Does he weigh in on swift bricks anywhere? I do hope he likes those, at least.

  • In my view, taking the Spartan myth down a few pegs is redemptive - for those of us who have not benefited from the fraud. It's nothing but false machismo and literal rape culture that have only served to give comfort to societies built on cruelty and inequality.

    You're not wrong to feel that humans can be tiresome in their follies, but charitably, some of that must be caused by familiarity. We're the species whose entire evolutionary niche is cooperation and friendliness. Most of the animal kingdom are jerks by any fair comparison. If we had lived as ants, our grievances about our peers would be all the more bleak.

  • New Labour

  • True, but the new Labs really are like that, at the end of the day.

  • It's the crazy little details that feel carefully chosen to make us sound crazy. It's really galling.

  • The tacit assumption that troubles me is the idea that the stock market must sooner or later bow to reality in a way that is proportional to its flights of fancy. The basic ideas that underpins value investing, in other words.

    Putting it mildly: I don't feel confident that can be relied upon in 21st century US markets.

  • There used to be sidecars with dogs wearing goggles far more often. That would feels so faraway.

  • Usually when he's done fucking something that means it's dead so

  • I don't say this lightly about a person, but I truly believe rape is at the very core of his being.

  • Well yeah, anything that weakens NATO is red meat for him. So to speak.

    It's regrettable to give Putin any comfort, but I don't think Canadians are wrong here. The US is firmly in its 'flailing and desperately externalising' phase of imperial decline, and I think a GB-style "soft landing" of the American empire is too much to hope for.

  • I don't know, I think any linguistic coinage that gets Americans in general to finally get that the rich hate and want to destroy them, the better.

  • Strong contender for Most Useful Idiot of 2026, there. Hard to see anyone topping that with only ten months left.
