Booking Through

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.

Brodom

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!

Prefer Rents

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.)

It’s a Country

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.

Struct

Chill Amusing, Annoying, Clowns

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.”

Need All the Ks

Chill Annoying, Clowns

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.

Dragged

Chill Annoying, Clowns, Evil

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.

Missing the Point

Chill Annoying, Clowns

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.

  1. Meaning the actual numbers are vastly higher than the stats portray; only about 20% of crimes are reported.
