People tweet things like this before they realize that one purpose of travel is to meet people to date https://t.co/WFrMDoHPHe

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!
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.)
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.
I don’t even play video games and I’d’ve done the same thing that guy did. Good for him. Many women need more rejection in their lives tbh.
That’s because journalists and other commentators absolutely do not understand how high capital expenditure businesses are structured, why they are structured that way, how corporate financing works, what bonds are and how they work, or why large capital-intensive businesses are 100% expected to have extremely high initial outlays.
It’s all a completely mystery to them, and therefore “wrong.”
Yet another huge blind spot in current liberal (failed) thought. It’s no wonder the fascists are winning — liberalism as constituted now has wholly and unreservedly failed.
we finally have an answer!
4k is more than enough
8k only matters if your face is glued to the screen
anything beyond that is a waste of money pic.twitter.com/xyXO8QaG7R— vittorio (@IterIntellectus) October 28, 2025
Complete bullshit. Reminds me of the days when it was claimed that “30Hz is enough for anyone.” Now any refresh rate below 60Hz and people lose their minds. I can easily see 5K vs. 4K up to about 10 feet away.
I can see 2K vs. 5K at about 25-30 feet.

It’s because the left is de-growth and they seized on the first thing that seemed (to them) plausible and likely to sway public opinion. That it was all lies did not matter. It never does.
Entirely too many people reason using this process: “Since it’d be really nice if it were true, it must be true!”
That’s not how it works, Timmy. Not at all.
All time great collab between the American oil industry and Soviet propaganda specialists https://t.co/0oyrM6senF

Even discounting climate change, the anti-nuclear left is responsible for somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-40 million early deaths due to coal pollution resulting in cancers and other illnesses.
I could not give less of a crap about the East Wing of the White House, which was a crummy office building constructed in haste in 1942.
Dang, tear it down and replace it with anything. IDC. It’s irrelevant. It’d be hilarious to replace it with a Walmart, though. Yeah, let’s do that.
in what context are you meeting women and sussing out that they are are forever girlfriends where it is not then a massive risk to your social or professional reputation to pursue them? https://t.co/oyESkJTTRQ

Great goddamn, I am so glad I am not dating now. Women have made it too dangerous to attempt to date them — in a different way than men have always posed some threat to women, but certainly not any better.
Many women seem to have the view that if someone their “inferior” asks them out, he must be destroyed. Evil stuff.

Wow that is some Dune-ass prison planet clownery. That thing is so ugly yo’ mama calls it “son.” Tapeworms recoil in disgust. Cave trolls refuse to live there.
Fail.
Whoa, this is moronic. Why people don’t use mass transit isn’t about crime, most of which isn’t reported anyway 1.
What causes people to avoid hopping on the bus or train is that they’ll nearly always have bug-eyed crazy demented people on there harassing and hassling anyone in sight. It’s worse for women, but nearly every time I’ve been on public transit in the US one of these sleazeballs is present too. It makes it extremely unpleasant. I don’t have any of that in my car, so my car it’ll be.
How you can just, like a fucking idiot clown, pretend this is not a factor, I have not a clue. But it tells me you’re being intellectually dishonest and disingenuous.
the hysteria on the left about AI art has always been bad, but this is a new, absurd low. also the 'boiling water' narrative is making a comeback again, for some reason. https://t.co/I1EEcdAtDj

That is in-fucking-sane.
The left really is fully in degrowth anti-tech mode. AI is a tool like any other. It has its uses. For instance, I put it to work it to create an infrastructure usage estimation and comparison spreadsheet with tunable parameters in about an hour. I could’ve done it all myself, but it would’ve taken me 5-6 hours (it’s a quite complex spreadsheet). But I could do this because:
1) I am extremely familiar with all the infrastructure involved so I’d notice any hallucinations.
2) I’ve done infrastructure capacity planning for twenty years.
3) And I’m already very competent with Excel.
It wouldn’t have saved me nearly as much time if those three items weren’t true and also probably would’ve produced something inaccurate without my manually fixing what it got wrong. But the key is: it did save me tons of time.
