If by "not correct" you mean "unbelievably crazy and misguided," then yes. The Fed is literally printing money and handing it to asset managers. https://t.co/1cQubjpEFP

My salary is not small but it appears I still went into the wrong field.
Those of you who are #WFH. Is there such a thing as a microphone that limits the ambient noises in the background?

Get yourself a Schoeps CMC64 Set Modular Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphone with Cardioid Capsule.
Good general-purpose and the cardiod capsule suppresses noise from other directions besides (mostly) right in front of the mic. What, you don’t have a spare $1700 lying around to spend on such a mic? Buddy, that’s your problem, not mine. 😉
When the pandemic ends, wearing a damn mask will continue as a liberal virtue signal. I hate the fucking mask, so this is terrible for me. But I know this is going to be true.
You hate to see it.
But there's a few more!

Chopper Commando! I used to play that. Had totally forgotten about that game. It was pretty fun for an hour every so often.
The idea that South Park and Archer are responsible for the rise of Trumpism is one of those bizarre takes that I regularly see normal folks espousing on this platform…it just seems like it couldn't possibly be true… https://t.co/SBWDyzsPSH

Yeah, it’s total horseshit. The left believes in the infinite power of words, as if Cartman is some sort of 12th Century magician-alchemist.
The economic and political environment explain 99% of the rise of fascism and fascism-lite, though. If South Park had anything to do with it at all, it was extremely negligible. Actions and effects in the real world are vastly more powerful than what some cartoon character screams about on some TV show.
Almost certainly wrong for most people. Unfortunately, contra liberal comfort beliefs “hard work” is not enough for many people — though it’s not all genetics, of course. Development environment, brain injuries (including from lead), and other factors mean that not everyone is endowed with enough ability to perform well in math.
There is certainly nothing more I could’ve done to be any better at this and there are many people like me out there. The “hard work” myth is a pervasive one, though. But there is only so much time in the day, and only so much ability people have. That’s a hard truth, but the way it is.
Being strong and relatively agile is so superior to being weak and fat.
How do people live like that? Suppose you get used to anything. I did.
100% going to be one of those moments we look back on in 5-10 years as a precursor to something worse and all the people you see celebrating it today will be oh-so-confused https://t.co/Y7iuBZRfwD

Disagree.
Most people remember nothing from even a few months before and don’t study history. It’ll be forgotten and interred in the eternal now. Yes, it’s a bad decision, but no one will remember it. Most people will barely even notice it as it’s happening.
I do not like or enjoy group activities of any kind.
I am no fun at parties.
The next 40 years are going to be full of things that keep happening that could “never happen.”
