Well, one of the reasons people like me were against cancel culture (which, laughably, libs at the time claimed didn’t even exist) is because we knew when the conservatives got into power again, they’d use it even more effectively than the liberals did.
And now here we are. Just as predicted.
The Covidians use Covid to explain everything bad much like some people use “aliens” to have some way of making sense of how anything they can’t comprehend occurred.
It’s sad and hilarious in both cases.
Iโve had men explain IQ to me for ten minutes after knowing that I was coauthor of TBC. What should I make of this? Anything except that people can be oblivious? https://t.co/CbSrNhop0h

I’ve had men spend half an hour offering their opinions on IT and on how computers work, despite me being an industry pro with multiple professional-level certifications, understanding computers very deeply, having used them since I was four years old and been employed in tech for 25+ years. And these men were not programmers or developers nor did they work in tech. And nearly every word they said was incorrect.
Women believe that “mansplaining” happens only to them — a very solipsistic view. But some people are just oblivious boors. More often men, but plenty of women are that way too (Karens).
Only the Wuhan Institute of Virology rivals the lab in Alien: Earth for poor biosafety protocols. I don’t know what BSL the WIV was operating at in reality, but the Prodigy lab in Alien: Earth lately is operating at BSL negative eleventy-billion.

The whole liberal “Being brutally murdered and/or set on fire is just part of big city life!” is really failing in spectacular ways. Amazing they keep on with it despite it being the worst possible message I can even think of.
The answer is simple:

Basically. We’re now making ourselves poorer thanks to Trump et al., but Europe is remarkably poor compared to a lot of the US.
Doctor I trust more than RFK:
The 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, ladies and gentlemen:
Back when cars were still cars!
What a classic. What a legend. I’d own one but don’t want to maintain a 1996 car.
By March 2005, I'd already spent years trying to figure out how a solar array could track the Sun without the use of slip rings, while attached to a spinning space tether. Very late one rainy night the answer came into my mind all at once, and it reminded me of a fan dancer. pic.twitter.com/RCYj3zrnJA

Why in Zeus’s name would you make something so complex and difficult to deploy when you could just not do that?
You could just use a fixed bus for the solar panels with single-axis heliostats. In other words, put a โcurtainโ of lightweight mirror strips (heliostats) in front of fixed solar panels. Don’t move the panels, move the mirrors. That way, the motion is minimal (only need a modest rotation range for 23.5ยฐ sun variation throughout the year) and don’t need to move a huge structure as the heliostats are extremely low-mass. This minimizes moving parts, doesn’t have whatever crazy shit is going on in that animation that will fail fast and catastrophically, and is not from a design loony bin.
Fuck does not one person have a damn brain up in here?
How come military has a 2-tier system (enlisted/officers) of employment, but other jobs do not?
Oh, other jobs definitely do. Most, in fact! It’s just that the military makes it explicit and very clear.
This is far better IMO.
My mom is apparently dating a celebrity.
That’s nothing! I am dating 10 celebrities!
And they all despite being rich and famous cannot pay their rent for some reason.
It sure is convenient that corporate interests align so very well with preventing dear old Grammy from sending her money to scammers in Nigeria (which she of course does anyway).
Surely it’s just coincidental that Google, Apple, Mozilla and Microsoft preventing me from installing software on devices I fully and wholly own and surveilling me 24/7 are what is required to keep gramma and the kids safe.
You people who buy into all that, are you fucking stupid? What the goddamn hell is wrong with your brains? Do you just have no critical discernment nor ability to detect specious, risible arguments at fucking all?
FUCK.
Why are so many people on the internet like that? What drives that, mental illness being far more widespread?
One of the reasons I stopped talking about finance is that investments are better than arguments. I don’t really feel a need to convince anyone. I can be right or wrong in a more meaningful way. https://t.co/qjUJrfouMA

Same. And I don’t want to be anyone’s stock picker or be blamed for their (or my own) missteps.
I don’t require anyone’s validation. I own a house free and clear and have a secure1 retirement as a result of my financial acumen. I don’t need to convince a soul. The proof is what I’ve done. If that doesn’t convince you, the depths to which I don’t give a fuck are infinite and unprospected by me.
