@paleonormie @TheDangerman061 He doesn’t need that, he can just build a business and avoid the debt

The America where this would impress his future employer is long gone, the one that replaced it is one where this kind of hustle marks one as a member of the servant caste. It’s just really sad to see a dad doing this under the misconception that it sets his son up for success

This is my son. He is almost 16 and wants a vehicle. I refuse to buy him one and told him he needs to pay for it himself. He got a job as a rec basketball league referee and quickly realized how long it would take to save up enough money to get a $3k car making $12/hour. Then I showed him some cooler $6k options on Bring a Trailer and he got the itch to make more money. I gave him countless ideas to pursue. He wasn't feeling any of them. Then I decided to show him some podcast episodes from @mhp_guy (he's listened to some from Chris before and was a fan). No ideas were really hitting home until he heard an episode between Chris and @ShannonJean about reselling. He fell in love. So I showed him a few more and he was convinced that that was the route he should take. We started browsing B-Stock and then realized we need a state tax license and some other stuff so we got that all set up. Then we browsed some more. Endless deals. We settled on buying 115 rugs at an average of $13/rug after shipping. They're all Costco returns. Various sizes, some in better condition than others. He now has to figure out how to sell all these through my Facebook Marketplace account. I won't be helping him at all, other than answering questions and casually giving him strategic ideas here and there. If he can sell the rugs at an average price of $35 (keep in mind some are brand new and are 10' x 14' large), he'll make $2500 in profit. Then we can start car shopping :). P.S. Chris and Shannon - thanks for the motivation!!!

The NYT: there has not been one single catastrophe involving a previously unknown virus developed in a foreign lab and, quite frankly, the entire concept seems absurd

I had no idea this was still the party line at the NYT, simply incredible

What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily? For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed. Whatever years lie behind us are in death’s hands.

@xwanyex @geoljills In a sense, we could say they didn't actually consider all things.

All Things Considered did a story about the shooter, addressing the question of whether he had been radicalized by left-wing content on the internet. The host concluded that, no, actually, his views are really quite mainstream. The correspondent chimed in to ask whether this isn’t actually scarier, in its own way. The host pushed passed his question and reiterated that the shooter’s views appear to be quite widely held.

Can I please go back to my feed of Japanese bros who love guns and muscle cars? All I’m getting now is potato IQ Indians dying in swimming pools.

The manifestos absolutely suck now. There's no Ted Kaczynski tier manifestos coming from these people. It's always a multi page "Orange Man Bad" rant. Incredibly evil, but also uninteresting.

Ezra had to write a column about why it doesn't threaten environmental apocalypse to have children because it was, by his account, the question he received more than any other.
An international educated class whose brains were boiled into letting male sex offenders into their daughter's high school bathrooms, remaining barren because of fears of a fake apocalypse, castrating the children it has for social credit points, that now debates whether looting and shoplifting are defensible forms of remedial social action, that is in the process of deindustrializing Germany and replacing its legacy population in Canada: this is Elite Human Capital.

I just think it’s weird that affluent lib cultural elites in their 30s and 40s are engaging in behavior associated with antisocial, oppositional teenagers to the point where ‘Noah Smith’ has to step in and say, ‘Maybe this is bad.’
