Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Conservatism is a particularly selfish meme.

Any Imperium world that has been completely forgotten about for a few hundred years should only be about twice as bad as here

He looks untouched by his ordeal, but exactly like a dude who crashes cars

This one gets me every time I see it. I almost woke up my wife giggling

Private equity having a normal one

Unfortunately, stocks tend to move in sympathy with each other due to various factors, such as large ETFs and algorithmic trading. Natural price action is kind of broken at the moment.

I just wish most gen x were actually disaffected and alienated and not just constantly demanding relevance. You were a latchkey kid and you have better references than us, get over it.

Generation “Mentions not getting mentioned any time people talk about generations”

I went from US to UK. It was the easiest way out, as a dual citizen by birth. Still hard, with a baby and a wife in tow, neither UK citizens, during a pandemic. My job did a lot of legwork for me, incorporated a subsidiary in the UK for me to work here remotely.

Our families have only been American for roughly one generation so far (bar one or two grandparents), I’m just taking us back to one of our home countries, belatedly. Philippines seemed like a non-starter, as did Croatia. The UK has a lot of the same problems as the US, but at a different scale.

The craziest part was that until we emigrated, we’d never even been to the UK. But we had a certainty several years ago that America was going where we couldn’t follow. I wish I could have travelled more, growing up.

I’d say it was worth it. I just wish I had more cards in my hand to choose from, or that the UK was still in the EU. Whole world’s a mess these days though, just playing the hand I’ve been dealt.

Crypto should have been about taking power away from banks and capitalists. And maybe there are projects along those lines. But for the most part it’s been co-opted by exactly that sort of asshole.

Now crypto exists mainly as a microcosm of human folly.

Does someone pay you to be boring? They should.

Connect also has it

I’ve personally worked at multiple deli counters. By all accounts I was incredibly bad at it. The first time, on my first day I sliced the tip of my right thumb off down to the nub and shot arterial blood all through the display and got fired immediately. So I flatter myself that I am something of an authority on bad deli counter skills. And I tell you, this shit never happened.

I left my home country, but I’ve been fortunate enough to get friends to visit a few times over the years. Would be nice to make some new friends but my kid honestly runs out my social battery all on his own.

The standard burger bun is brioche (not very nice brioche, granted, but they still call it that)

I mean, this shit never happened. Keeping that in mind, cringe is at an all time high. People are forgetting how to act.

Are you mad that people got mad? Anger is not a subtle political instrument, a win is a win.

You’re just gonna act like you don’t see the problem? Are you doing a bit?

I was randomly up at 4, shouldn’t have been on my phone at all. Word salad.

Oh shit. Free demo too. I’ll see if it has the same magic for my kid that it did for me
