As much as she is a huge dumbass, she also does not deserve Iryna’s fate. We must also protect the weak and the clueless; I do think it’s noblesse oblige to do so. The truth of the world is just too much for some people.
She’s a good example of someone with “suicidal empathy.”
In this instance, if someone says they're reading 200+ books in a year, you can assume some combination of:
– Audiobooks they're half paying attention to
– Reading but skimming boring parts
– Counting manga/comics that take 40 min to read as "a book"
– Reading too fast to retain…— _s.a.m.e.m.e.m.e_ (@st_louis_stan) November 10, 2025
Bro, I used to read 200 books in 7-10 weeks. It’s not actually that hard if you read fast and can devote a lot of time to it.
This is a great example of just because you can’t do something doesn’t mean that I can’t do something. And I promise you I understand those books better than you do when I’m finished, even if I read them three times as fast.
I read more than 200 books a year now despite the fact that I hardly even pick up books anymore (for me). Back in the day, I’d read 12-16 hours a day nearly every day.

Yep. Only men get criticized for being “passport bros” but plenty of women do the same thing — they are just lauded for it generally rather than demonized. A friend of mine is considering becoming a passport bro-ette because she is in a country with few good male options. And I think she should!
Remember when it was common for the Fat Acceptance losers to claim that women who were clearly overweight were “extremely skinny” and “probably starving?”
Glad that hasn’t been seen much lately. To them, anyone who didn’t need a joist and hoist to get out of bed was on the verge of expiring from hunger.
The left hates Sydney Sweeney because she is attractive , knows it, and doesn’t apologize it
What they hate is anything that reeks of natural hierarchy. Of being superior in every way to the grey lump that composes the indistinguishable and uninspiring mass of our “equal” and… pic.twitter.com/FMCZBEoEZ6

I think this is largely true. Sydney is attractive, intelligent, clever and business-savvy — and is not apologetic about any of those things. This damns her as far as the left goes as they have a horrible case of Tall Poppy Syndrome. They deeply, deeply desire to punish anyone who is obviously exceptional in some way.
That’s also what is behind all the buffoonery lately regarding the claims that everyone is exactly the same and no one is smarter than anyone else (and if they are, it’s for bad, “fake” reasons, and if the reasons aren’t fake, they should be, dammit).
Sydney is everything they wish they could be but are not; that galls them and makes them want to hurt her.
I hate audiobooks. Just not for me in any way, shape or form. Just a total turd of a format in my, uh, book.
Not reading and not radio. Just a big nothing.
Chicago could see historic double-digit snow as an Arctic blast spreads across much of the US.
Evil descends upon part of the country once again. Nothing worse than cold weather. At least it’s still reasonably warm here in California.
Yep. Women spiral into depression and, sometimes, suicide attempts if they experience even briefly 1/1000 the amount of rejection the average man does his entire life.
Women have no idea. The leitmotif of most men’s lives is rejection and disposability.
Why can’t I “preview message” from a trace anymore? Is it because I’m shitty?
No, Microsoft has broken something completely yet again. Something that used to work rather well. It’s the Mozilla-Google-Microsoft way: take something that was working fine, destroy it, then tell you that the new way is better and that you “just hate change.”
I tried to use this tool last night and just gave up and found another method. I guess we’re in the “everything just gets roundly worse forever” stage of tech now.
Average liberal: Your preferences and tendencies are just what they are because you grew up in a certain social environment! If you’d grown up in Ghana or Thailand, they’d be totally different!
Average non-doof: Ok, what is your point here, exactly? That if everything had been completely different than it was, they’d be completely different? Brilliant. I commend your perspicacity.
(While there are some valid arguments around the Rawlsian veil of ignorance and the universal lot of humanity and the commonality therein, the average liberal is not making this argument and probably does not know who John Rawls even is; rather, they just want to give your shit and your country to some third-worlder because they “deserve” it more than you do.)
The quest for some constrained and denotative definition of “artificial general intelligence” is daft and pointless.
When does a 747 become a bird? When is a submarine a fish? When you ask an amorphous, unfocused question all your answers are disjunct from the set of possible paths to revealing the actual important questions, much less any answers.
I’ll leave it as an exercise to the reader what the important questions are. But suffice it to say that though I believe some form of human-level machine intelligence is possible, we’ll never succeed in making a submarine into a fish, and we’ll also never accomplish the feat of transforming silicon and transistors into a human. A person, perhaps. But not a human.
If in conducting estimation your estimates become too specific, they then transition from estimates to promises.
Resist this in yourself and others if you can.
My friend got a weird offer… someone said they’d fix his life in exchange for his “soul” ?
Hey, that’s better than the offer I got. And that was two identical blonde twins who in exchange for letting them drink my blood would have threesome incestual1 sex with me.
They were very beautiful, but also dumb and dangerous. No sex was had and I lost no blood. This was around 1996 in North Florida. The last I heard one of them had died of a heroin overdose and the other one moved to Chicago.
What’s the weirdest or funniest ticket title you’ve seen?
“Mozzarella Fox Not On Computer.”
That was in Firefox’s heyday. I was tempted to go pour some mozzarella on their keyboard and then tape a picture of Megan Fox to their monitor.
I work at a major American financial institution, founded by a major American.
We have more employees you-know-where than we do in the USA by a few thousand.

It’s weird that even saying “India” these days is considered racism. But it’s just a fact: many American jobs have been sent to India. Many more will be sent there. There’s nothing racist about that.
You know you’ve left the path of wisdom when easily-observable facts can no longer be stated plainly for risk of censure.
