  1. Not a ghost exactly, but I had a very incredible experience when I was working in London maybe 4 years ago. I was walking to work, airpods in, and some random British lady stopped me on the street. I figured she was lost or something, so I stopped (she wasn't handing out leaflets or whatever) and, out of nowhere, she said something that was deeply personal and meaningful to me and said it was being communicated to her by my grandfather, who had passed a couple of years ago. My grandfather was and is my hero and the person I admire the most. I was thunderstruck. I asked how on earth she knew that and how I could trust that it was real. She then paused, and after a few seconds, told me the single item I took from my grandfather's house when he passed and the location of my grandfather's hidden stash of money that only he and I knew about. She then just walked away. I still can't explain it and I think about it almost every day.
  2. I disagree with this. We're too soft. Too comfortable. We're going to sit on our hands, maybe go to some protests and dress up like a frog for the Insta, and complain about it on Reddit. But we won't DO anything about it in a real sense. I fully expect that, with AI + Palantir + some pols with a real taste for authoritarianism, we'll be firmly within the grasp of a surveillance state within 5 years. I doubt we'll be like mainland China, but I fully expect we'll be Hong Kong.
  3. I mean, I hate Trump as much as anyone, but also fuck John Bolton.
  4. Just need to get her an actual shirt or jersey instead of this Rob Lowe looking shit she has.
  5. You underestimate them. Imagine telling yourself that America is in the position that it is presently in 2016. Think how different things are. We aren't going to be Nazi Germany, but I do think we're inarguably headed towards the Mainland China experience.
  6. I live in Europe, and this is my experience exactly. Super easy to get an appointment and super easy to be seen if you pay for private care, but God help if you've got something strange. I had a fairly significant immune thing that went undiagnosed for a while because the doctors here kept telling me it was allergies and not wanting to run more tests. There's also zero coordination between doctors. For example, if you go to Doctor X who sends you to Doctor Y, they do not coordinate. YOU have to do all the coordination (e.g., bring the results, tell Doctor X what happened, etc.). There are pros and cons of every system.

    I've read speculation that she was asked by US intelligence to, while conveniently flying over some important islands and bases held by Imperial Japan, maybe snap a few photos. That wouldn't shock me in the least.
  8. Briskets looking like the Oracle of Delphi right about now.
  9. Hopefully Matt Forney won't need to go within 100 yards of an elementary school in his crusade against the American left.
  10. I wouldn’t hold my breath on this press conference. Trump is the most dishonest person who has ever held office. If he fell, he’d never acknowledge it, and if he had a terminal diagnosis, he’d also never say anything (and neither did Biden). This is going to be a classic Trump off the handles press conference where he says a bunch of crazy shit and changes the narrative. I’ve accepted that this mother fucker will live to the age of Old Testament Abraham and I encourage all of you to do the same.
  11. No more foreign wars!* *Subject to terms and conditions, including the whims of Netanyahu
  12. I remember hearing the most of Portland was built before they knew they’d get real significant earthquakes. Only a percentage of the buildings are retrofitted. So all of that city is going up in smoke if the big one happens.
  13. If it’s a standard Silicon Valley style cookie cutter company, the board is probably in a rough spot. He will own a lot of stock, and since they’re VC backed, it’s unlikely they can repurchase it, even if they term him for cause. He has to gtfo, but you also can’t have a hostile stockholder with 20%+ of the shares.
  14. I thought it impossible for him to paint himself the victim in this situation, but clearly I underestimated him.
  15. Are we losing recruitments because we’re too poor? Or are we getting recruits because we’re flush? It’s hard to keep up sometimes.
