@perrymetzger A generation of brainless idiots raised on scrolling smartphones is not a "made up problem".

@x_Aurelion @thinkingwest It's been something of a weight off my shoulders realizing that I never need to waste any of the time left allotted to me reading anything written after the year 2000.

@thinkingwest I don't even bother with new books. They are simply unreadable. Stick with the classics.

If you only read new books, you'll assume the modern mindset is the only way of thinking. But someone who reads old books becomes harder to manipulate by the assumptions of his own age.

@thinkingwest I always think about bits of implicit knowledge that might disappear as cultures age. Example: Prospecting-era book where man visits friend and "hangs his belt on the wall". Modern impulse: "Why'd he take off his belt- ohhh, everyone just naturally wore *gunbelts* in those days."

@BradfemlyWalsh @meganysta You should probably study actual history before you just post random nonsense like- oh, I read your bio, you're an ideological psychopath narcissist. Ok.

@meganysta They did not, dream on

The vast majority of women would've lived in total poverty at this time and probably owned 2 dresses: one for work and everyday life, which would've been absolutely filthy and patched and made of cheap material, and one slightly nicer one for going to church in.

@BradfemlyWalsh It wouldn't have been "absolutely filthy". People knew how to wash. "At which time" are you referring? They washed clothes in the middle ages.

@PeterDiamandis The damage to the psyche and to culture is immeasurable. At the height of the chaos and torture in Communist East Germany, half a million people were informants, turning in their own friends and family for a chance a tiny bit more of their own safety from the Party.

A trillion sensor in space, in the air and on the ground will allow us to know anything, anywhere, at any time. There will be no hiding.. A good thing... Humans behave better when they’re being watched.

@garybernhardt It's distressing to see people like "Which language I should learn? Is XYZ 'worth it'?" like when I was a kid you couldn't keep my from trying to break into every file on every disk just to see what would happen if I messed with it. Wanted to learn EVERYTHING.

"Why would you want to read and write code?" because I like programming the computer, that's why I do it

@Jawgenius @therealmissjo The most horrifying thing is while the "greedy" socialists, while not tolerable, are at least understandable in a sense. Worse are the true believers of Marx who simply resent and hate the world's "unfairness" so much they desire maximal suffering as punishment for existence.

@therealmissjo Exactly. Socialism means everyone suffers equally. Except of course *cough* the leaders.

This is true socialism. In France. École Primaire La Planette is a primary school in Nîmes, a town in southern France. A child recently fainted because of the heat (40 deg). Classes were being taught in corridors to get out of the heat. The parents got together to raise money for five portable air conditioning units. It took them only 3 days to raise the €2,000. They installed the units. Great, you think. Not according to the current municipal team in Nîmes (left-wing coalition led by communist mayor Vincent Bouget). Bouget has told the school to remove the units because “it sets a precedent” and “in some neighbourhoods, parents don’t have the means to act”. Yes, you read that correctly. He is objecting on the grounds that it is unfair to other schools and causes inequality.

@aseoane123 @therealmissjo Idiotic false equivalence.

@therealmissjo until you guys manage to prevent mass shootings at your schools, im not sure you should be criticising other country’s schools, tbh

@therealmissjo The purpose of Communism is always to exercise torture and brutality and resentment upon its kulaks.

@AeresChronicles For the record, my native Japanese coworkers LOVED this episode. And "chinpokomon". They really, really got a kick out of explaining what that meant to me.

Weird to think that this song was poking fun at anime at the time, but 22 years later, this kind of anime is completely unrecognizable. Anime isn't even remotely like this anymore, and a lot of younger fans probably have no idea that it ever was. Still gives me a chuckle though! #retroanime #southpark

@______sergei @CLT_Exam So we don't live miserable, sick, unfulfilling lives.

@CLT_Exam Why pursue greatness?

A child who has never encountered greatness cannot be expected to pursue it. One purpose of education is to place greatness directly in front of young people. The rest follows naturally.

@CLT_Exam Marxist subversion has destroyed all western heroes.

My samsung died its final death yesterday and I let my family bully me into an iPhone. I have had it for under an hour and I would like to unequivocally declare that I hate this damn thing.

@HeavyNutrino @ChShersh Compilers are smarter than most programmers in 2026. This isn't a slight at programmers, compilers are just really, really good now. It's important to realize because unless you genuinely know (and are inspecting) what you're doing and why, you shouldn't try to outsmart it.

@ChShersh Can someone more c++ than me please explain how operations on multiple members of an array could get optimized to a single mov?

C++ looked at my code and said: "Nice piece of bitwise logic you have here. Would be a real shame if someone optimised it into a single mov."

@melput69 @anime_ Did you pound the table in rage because of your resentment that Japan is better than whatever irrelevant hovel you squat in?

@c000game @anime_ Just take a look at this one more time, would you? Lmao 🤡

@qquinnsworth When Dutch traders first visited Japan, woodcut artists depicted both nations' ambassadors as tall, straight-backed, dignified men, while the visiting Chinese ambassador was depicted as a hunchbacked stereotype. Japan has never looked at itself as "Asian".

What's actually unique about Japan compared with its East Asian industrial rivals: it has a real imperial family, it has real not larpy traditional crafts but wrapped in modern capital, it has real old brands. Japan should be competing with Switzerland/Monaco, not China/Korea.

@RobertMSterling The actual purpose of an Idiot Test is to see if someone is dumb enough to publicly brag about solving something everyone knows how to do.

1. Fill up the 3 gal 2. Empty it into the 5 gal 3. Fill up the 3 gal again 4. Pour it into the 5 gal, filling up the 5 gal and leaving 1 gallon in the 3 gal 5. Dump out the 5 gal 6. Pour the 1 gallon from the 3 gal into the 5 gal 7. Fill up the 3 gal 8. 3 + 1 = 4. Done.

@ThePrimeagen As one of the last philosopher-kings that knows how to write "custom userscripts" and "custom stylesheets" to untangle Youtube's ever-accelerating garbage, I look with sadness at the horizon knowing I am merely standing on the highest point of a sinking ship.

love the new ui work YouTube!

@Windpress The constant dodge rolls that everyone loathed since Witcher 3 are BACK, baby! Now we have a TOTALLY MUCH BETTER brand new mechanic to spam that is HIP and COOL not like that OTHER yucky one!!

Indie Dev creates a game that has FLUID movement that PRIOITIZES dodging and blocking. This type of combat is so much more CHARMING than the PARRY SLOP we see from every souls like game recently.
