No Clarity

Tell me you don’t work a corporate job without telling me you don’t work a corporate job.

The essay is bad and wrong. And you’re wrong too, of course.

AI is going to lead to massive job losses. It’s already happening. You just do not understand how MBA types think and work.

Revealed Pref

It’s popular to demonize men with questions like, “Who looks hotter, a woman who is 25 or one who is 60?” And then when of course — with no context and having no idea their personality — the man naturally says, “The woman who is 25” this then supposedly shows the man is evil.

But of course of course of fucking course the average 25-year-old woman is hotter than the average 60-year-old. Jesus Fucking Christ, you fucking clowns.

The reality is that women have a much stronger revealed preference for older men than men do for younger women when you don’t hit them with “gotcha” questions divorced from all context. And of this I have direct evidence — basically the only women who routinely flirt with me are between 18-28. Almost none older than that. Hmm, wonder why that is?

Fuck all y’all.

Cancel a Shun

One of the strangest features and set of claims during the height of the (moronic) Woke movement from roughly 2012-2024 were the brutal and usually-unjustified cancellations all the while those perpetrating the worst of it were claiming cancel culture did not exist. And of course, often, the people I’m discussing just a few tweets or posts after claiming there were no cancellations occurring would call for the cancellation of someone.

It was such a strange time that made you wonder whether people had any sort of memory or ability to read.

I eventually realized, sort of, what was happening. In the liberal authoritarian mind, every cancellation was justified. Therefore, it was not cancellation. It was consequences — justified and appropriate.

Ta-da! No cancellation culture.

Idiots.

Hedging

This writer claims “How ‘Hedgehog Tanks’ Are Forcing Russia and Ukraine to Rewrite Drone Warfare.”

First — and most obviously — this writing is terrible. It’s both breathlessly melodramatic and logorrheic. It sounds like something I would’ve written in middle school on a bad day.

Second, hedgehog tanks are mostly irrelevant to the actual war as they are not very mobile and don’t help the fighting all that much. They are nearly pointless and not all that effective. A tank that can’t maneuver, that has low visibility from inside and that can’t bring its main gun in play to affect anything is just a really poor and low-capacity APC.

So…this essay is just to say — inexpertly and awkwardly — that people try to survive however they can in a war? Bold thesis. Wish I could’ve thought of something like that.

As to the headline, no, hedgehog tanks are not forcing Russia and Ukraine to rewrite drone warfare. Hyperbolic much? Hedgehog tanks aren’t a significant threat so no rewriting is needed. You just send two drones instead of one, or something with an EFP, or one of those top-secret (really) Anduril Altius munitions the Ukrainians have now, or just hit it with a frickin’ Javelin. Javelins don’t care about cope cages, quills, spines, or any such feature.

When people who don’t know anything about modern warfare write about it, you end up with spacey garble like this.

I regret reading this but it’s too late now.

Bluesky Screechers

The AI that exists now is 1,000x better than what was available in 2024 or before

If you used it then, haven’t touched it since and hit me with your idiotic opinions, let it be known that you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.

Befat

Indeed. Being fat is the rare easily-identifiable issue that you can simply correct and your life and health improves immensely. Obesity is upstream of so many other somatic and even psychological problems.

Pretending this was not the case for two decades did no one any favors. Quite the opposite.

Dry Ice

I don’t agree with the methods ICE is using, but in reality all the illegal immigrants should’ve been rounded up and sent home long ago. The problem itself should’ve never been allowed to get as bad as it did.

After all, I’d never presume to just show up in a country with no right to be there and no legal status and expect to stay there. Why should that the default expectation for the US but no other nation? Most countries in the world (unless you are an Islamic rapist) will toss you right back out on your ass. As they should.

Undermine

Dating now seems from a distance so abysmally terrible. Glad I’m not participating in that mess.

I remember a time when men and women actually did not despise each other and did not attempt to harm and undermine one another constantly. That time was called the 1990s. Sure, it was a thing sometimes then. But now it’s the default mode and expectation.

What the hell happened?
