Exposure to Japanese Twitter is going to meme entirely new types of American guy into existence and I’m excited to see them in the wild in 2-5 years.

愉快で充実した朝食論争を楽しんでいるのだが、アメリカ人は、朝はコーヒー派が多いらしい。今の所、炭酸飲料派は観測出来ていない。

@BarneyFlames the idea of an incredibly successful performer who is virtually unknown by the public is pretty good

I heard about this guy for the first time by looking at a dataset of popular content

I’m far more normie adjacent than a lot of people on this site but I realized today that I’m also too online because the number 1 touring comedian in world history is a clean comic who never talks about sex and was born in the city I currently live in and I never heard of him

@Squiddy_____ @lufthiniano also spacex is much cheaper with catching their booster stages and all
English
@Squiddy_____ @lufthiniano more of a public-private partnership. NASA has never done everything in house.
English
I hate Elon as much as the next guy but you people have to drop this idiotic argument. SpaceX literally rebuilt NASA’s capability of having manned shuttles in space. If you insist on private sector bad public sector good you’re headed for a future like Argentina’s

Genuinely a brilliant example of why neoliberalism just doesn't work. You leave things to the private sector, you get a billionaire's shoddy vanity project rather than the best humanity has to offer.

@KohrsAlberto @MAWKVLT This comment is funny because it implies US has any bombs to spare

Average 5%er in Eastern Europe.
My Stalinist friend has two Bscs and signed up for a different Master so he can get a Doctorate in Philosophy. He speaks three languages, learning a fourth. He's 30.
In a civilized World he would be a minor Governor. Today, he's my drink buddy.

@burntbulb @cafreiman i guess your position is that all post-secondary education should be tuition free at public universities. i think the subsidized tuitions are fine. i paid a fraction of the cost that private school students did and still got a great education. we love in state tuition
English
@burntbulb @cafreiman you certainly can pay tuition for a K-12 education, i know many who did. hence the whole school voucher debate.
sure you do have to pay tuition, but you’re paying the government subsidized price, which is not enough to cover the actual costs of running the institution.
English
This is a fair point, but it’s also wrong to externalize the costs of the choice via student loan forgiveness.

imagine studying something because you find it interesting rather than because of the "return"

@feedbackboop @_ontologic "as only you have access to that information" not if Palantir gets their way! Anyway, I'm off to bed. Goodnight!

The lack of any fundamental curiosity at all about AI from the left has been one of the most discouraging things of my life, but that’s okay because I will simply become the epicenter of a new and cooler left that likes technology
Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenz
Leftists cancelling me for using Claude code and cooking based off the Google AI recipe suggestions… I see why that political movement has absolutely zero power. 🫠

@fieldsofbarley8 @_ontologic …or maybe i just have no idea what goes on in your head as only you have access to that information
English
@fieldsofbarley8 @_ontologic you sound like you have little to no internal life. wow that is easy!
English
@fieldsofbarley8 @_ontologic seems like a hard thing to determine about someone else, it being inner and all
English
@_ontologic it's not even a right vs left issue (tho AI is more popular with righties). i've noticed one thing in common among people who genuinely love AI and it's that they have little to no inner life.

@iron_redux kirk was building a political machine, myron is just chasing the spotlight (and bag)

this is still more intellectually honest than what Charlie Kirk was doing btw.

Myron vs Ohio University - Highlights!😂 Total victory!👨🏾🍳🔥

@burntbulb @cafreiman the whole idea that someone went to a private school so they should be subsidized by the public is odd to me, but hey we were already doing it for decades.
you can look at the trump admin fight with the private universities to see how much they rely on federal grant funds lol
English
@burntbulb @cafreiman universities ARE collectively funded! they have thousands of students paying tuition so they can offer a wide range of services, with grants all over.
even more, we have land grant universities throughout the country that provide incredible value for students.
English
@burntbulb @cafreiman the education of children and adolescents serves a different social function than a four year university degree for adults. the community college level serves as a bridge between the two.
English
@cafreiman Every time someone makes a point like this I ask: why subsidize primary school then?
English
@BarneyFlames imo it’s an overloaded term that refers to a wide range of beliefs and its meaning depends on who you’re talking to
English
the people poasting RETVRN memes are stupid but its also not true that no one said normal heteronormative marriage is not oppressive, in fact that's the whole point of feminist discourse !
Otherwise what even is feminism about ? "abusive husbands are bad" is not a novel discovery by feminists

@shaihulud43 @shakoistsLog much of europe is like this, see the Dutch Republic and the Bank of Amsterdam
English
@shakoistsLog only anglo-saxons would be like "yo we killed all your leadership, but mutually beneficial outcome right now is settling and just doing trade". i respect it though, it works great in most other cases
English
iranian culture is very trust based, and they view it as a great insult to kill their entire leadership chain.

BREAKING: Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi just now on potential peace talks with the US: "We do not have any faith that negotiations with the US will yield any results. The trust level is at zero."

It is a huge mistake to write a character as the smartest person in the world and then they sound like they were written by an above average college graduate.
