  1. Why is GenX like this? Because this is how we grew up. For us it was never Black Lives Matter, or All lives matter. It’s “No Lives Matter.” Always has been.
  2. World class cope: Hear that, libs/lesbos/jews? They were trolling NPR! Pwnt!
  3. THATS NOT A WORD AND I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO WORDLE MANAGER Wordle 1,496 5/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟨⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  4. This South Park thing seems to be all over the place today, I honestly didn’t know it was still relevant. I thought it was like the Simpsons or the last 15 years of Johnny Carson; sort of a grand old media institute that everyone knows but not very important anymore. was my impression wrong? Do a lot of people still pay attention to SP or did this go viral overnight and draw the attention?
  5. Welp, the M18s have been pulled from service.
  6. I’m hesitant to wade into this, but it’s probably worth mentioning here that whenever they assume office, if the new chair is not perceived to be an independent actor, it’s entirely possible (or perhaps even likely) that mortgage rates don’t budge, or even go up, even if the Fed reduces the Fed funds rate.
  7. I think you may have missed the point of the anecdote about the veteran. I don’t have any illusions. I just want a world worth living in when things shake out.
  8. Couldn’t sleep and now this Wordle 1,495 X/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟨🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
  9. I think part of why the situation in Gaza is so appalling, no matter how one feels about Israel, is that there is a huge moral difference between the Hamas leadership or actual Hamas fighters and civilian noncombatants or even rock throwers who hate Israel and chant “Death to Israel.”
  10. Indeed not, but I’m not sure Hegel did either, despite being highly consequential in the 40s in the way that Ayn Rand is now.
  11. The crew at KLBJ-AM these days make Sgt. Sam seem like a combination of William F Buckley and Plato.
  12. Jeff Ward is on the radio again? I thought KLBJ ran him off when he didn’t fall in line with the rest of Temu OANN.
  13. I wonder if Popper were writing today, would he engage with the work of Ayn Rand?
  14. That and also Powell speaking live this morning while opening and leading the Integrated Review of the Capital Framework for Large Banks Conference, where he is in attendance, right now.
  15. You forgot Phrenology
  16. @Brisketexan, you aren’t wrong. A WWII Veteran once told me a story about killing a German soldier with a bayonet when they ran into each other on foot, quite by accident, in the Ardenne forest. He told me the German was a boy his own age, and that sometimes he prayed for the boy and his family, but didn’t regret it because “that’s why I survived.” For several years I’ve been arguing off and on that a second civil war isn’t some future scenario, but rather an ongoing reality that most of us are just waking up to. It is a civil Cold War that is very gradually warming up as intensity and violent episodes increase in frequency and magnitude. It needs to be understood in those terms and contested in those terms. But we also need maintain the moral clarity to see who has the agency and understanding in this conflict, who doesn’t, and how those people got left behind. If we can’t tell the difference we give up any hope of a world worth living in when the dust settles.
  17. I would take the over, but at the moment Paxton +5 seems about the right line.
  18. I get it, trust me. That’s my default setting. But I’m trying, Rico.
  19. In all seriousness that is a very broken person whom society has let down. People need community and they need a sense of purpose and belonging to something bigger than themselves. Organized religion, for all of its many flaws, once filled that need. So did bowling leagues and Freemasonry. For some of us, volunteering or work or even this board fills that need. For some of these people MAGA fills that need. I see those people as victims in an epidemic of isolation and loneliness, even if they aren’t blameless. When Talarico was on Rogan he said something to the effect that you can only love god as much as you love the person who you love the least. That’s a a Christian perspective. But regardless of the Christianity involved, can we honestly look at that person and not see someone in pain? I can’t.
  20. It wasn’t. That’s the kind of high value partnership you still have to pay for. That is extremely well put. Good post.
  21. Do you think that’s still true? Over the weekend I used Google Gemini‘s deep research function with an intentionally vague prompt to test capabilities when given a complex market research and analysis task. What it produced, along with the methodology it used, were on par with a two person MBA team with 3-4 years of work experience assigned to a McKinsey consulting project and supervised by a partner: the facts were correct and abundant, the strategic insight was superficial and demonstrated no ability to discern counterfactual industry knowledge, but overall the output was very interesting and modestly useful, like a very high quality, custom-built Wikipedia entry. what used to cost $200-300k and 6 weeks can now we delivered in 30 mins
  22. Welp, the guy that proclaimed himself a fascist has been fired. He then set up some kind of Temu GoFundMe to raise $15k, on account of having been “Fired for My Political Beliefs” He has raised $21k so far, and the comments are … interesting. Christ is King, Retards!
