One of the proudest and funniest moment of my life is when I called some idiot libertarian a “Randroid.” Then, he threatened to kill me.
So I said now is as a good time as any, go ahead and try. He backed down instantly and left in a huff.
And yes, this was all in person and face to face, about 1998. Never saw that dumbass again.
Too bad. Heroku was far more sensible, scalable and easy to use than shit-ass Kubernetes. It had better ideas, better execution, better management and was far more capable. Kubernetes is just an enormous stinky bundle of insecure, slow and poorly-working crap code in comparison.
Why in the world did that win? Mostly because it was free, I guess.
But like a lot of open source stuff, it is only free if you assign zero value to your time.
And yet we constantly here about how incredibly unsafe self-driving cars are. Huh, I wonder why. 😉
Indeed. I’m not Asian, but I don’t have to grind to utterly defeat nearly anyone in anything to do with reading comprehension and understanding large volumes of disparate data really quickly and thoroughly.
In that arena, I can do what takes normies days (if they can do it at all1) in 20-30 minutes. There is no grind. I can just do it as easily as water flows downhill. Pretending I have to work hard at it would only be a cope by others.
I took a nap during one of the big standardized tests (CTSB?) back in school and still mogged every kid in the state but two others2. To say that I wasn’t even trying would be an understatement. For at least half the exam period, I wasn’t even awake.
Damn, I could be rich now if I’d moved to Minnesota and opened a “daycare” center.
This is like Rush, if Rush were good. That’s some complex stuff going on in that song.
Love life, unafraid of death, paratrooper forever, epic girlfriend and money for play.
Not a bad damn way to be. Go me. I’ve come a long way from getting told how terrible I am daily.

Women have it so easy here; spoiled for choice. If I signed up for Hinge (I never would), as a guy I’d be lucky to get one like in a month. And I’m above average in most ways. The average dude has no fucking chance.
And she’s attractive, but not a supermodel or anything.
Evil stuff.
True. Almost no “ethnic” cuisine is much more than ~100 years old. Italian is one of the older ones.
In America, you get to choose which ethnicity Hitler you want! We got a black Hitler, a white Hitler, a Jewish Hitler, a Somali Hitler. We got a Hitler for every taste!
FREEDOM!!!!!
Jesus Fucking Christ, that’s insane.

Anyone who is not a doofus assclown: That is definitely not winning.
Yep. Native populations get lass rape-y while immigrants are mega-rape-y.
Remigration now.
Mostly agreed. Redefining every relationship as always and only about power dynamics (and all bad sexual experiences as rape) was a huge error. An evil one.
It allowed actual rape to be minimized, harmed male-female dynamics for generations, and allowed “feminists” to minimize the harm of actual rape gangs in the UK and other places. It was idiotic in every aspect and — like many things — should have stayed in obscure academic journals read by four people where it belonged.
