I can finally scroll without anxiety.

I’d like to see the CEO of LinkedIn try to find a real job through LinkedIn

I think blaming Geoff Keighley for Highguard failing is the most crazy braindead gaming take I've heard in a hot minute. And the fact many many people AGREE with it. You people are actually fucking morons, straight up.

I’m sorry but that’s not a CS problem.

@notnijiatall I had a good laugh with the episode. It made my night. Definitely top 3 episodes in FF for me

Might be my fave fire force episode ever. Tamaki has received so much unjust criticism for YEARS. Sex is a part of the human experience and you cannot have a society or continued existence of the human race without sex. Thinking that every time a woman shows off it’s for men and not themselves is actually misogynistic. #FireForce

@MyPlayAccount Where was the Mob cameo?

Haven't had my jaw dropped watching anime for the longest time until this week's Fire Force. Opening had a real life woman talking about ending the planet. Ridiculous but creepy af. Then the ep went one with lewdness giving hope. 🤣 And lets not forget that cameo from Mob 😂

A lot of emphasis might be on @Mrpossidez's humble beginnings, which I believe is highly commendable. But for most of these stories I come across, my takeaway is that what is between you and where you want to get to in life is more of a mindset problem than of resource scarcity

@themmanuelfaith @peaceitimi @Mrpossidez @theFCshow_ I clicked this video so fast 😂. @Mrpossidez this sounds parasocial but your tweets and words really resonate with me. This app wouldn't be the same for me without you

Please watch this super-rich conversation between @peaceitimi and @Mrpossidez for @theFCshow_ . It's 90 minutes long but you won't even know till you're done. I am rewatching it for the second time already. It is that engaging. Click below to start. youtu.be/wUwKp6_Kuvk?si…

@Mrpossidez @lorverboyy Even though some of my peers say I'm a pretty good writer I know I don't hold a candle to people who have true talent for writing. I had given up on writing last year but your posts inspire me to resume.

@lorverboyy I’m humbled and honored at the same time. Thank you!

There’s a reason most of the westerners who fetishize IQ online tend to cluster around academia, research, policy analysis and think tanks. Their world rewards abstraction and credentialism and is a relatively closed system with Gaussian outcomes. Many of them have never created anything in genuinely chaotic environments or places where outcomes are mediated by other people, institutions, timing, incentives and sheer contingency. They mistake their local optimum for a universal one. So when they say IQ is “highly predictive of success,” what they really mean is success as they understand it which is success in linear, test-aligned, institutionally curated niches. Which is why things like educational attainment, job complexity an the like are always their set of examples, because these are in domains that are explicitly designed to reward the cognitive traits IQ tests measure. Although they may not admit it, many of them would be uncomfortable with the reality that a random online streamer who has accumulated leverage outside credentialed systems is more objectively successful than they are by the standards most people actually care about. When confronted with this, they either contest the word “objectively” or redefine success altogether retroactively reshaping the goalposts so their own position remains central and dignified. But for the majority of people, success is very simple lol. It is basically financial and social security, some optionality and leverage. It is the ability to absorb shocks and still remain standing. By those measures, being a highly intelligent but economically and socially fragile physics professor is not an obvious win. People who have actually built things especially people who grew up in environments where plans routinely collapse under political, economic, or social instability understand this instinctively. They know that real world success is non-linear, path-dependent, and deeply social. It involves many other people, many moving parts, and a great deal of effort applied over time. Crucially, they also understand something the IQ wankers hardly ever consider which is that effort is endogenously suppressed. People work hard when something matters to them. A lack of visible effort is not necessarily a lack of capacity any more than it is a lack of incentive, meaning, or perceived payoff. And effort plays a far greater role on mileage which compounds into success. The narrow, niched definition of success that IQ wankers cling to exists largely to preserve a clean 1 to 1 mapping between their test scores and their life outcomes. Interrogate their definitions very well and you’ll find an ego-soothing fiction somewhere there. But it is not how most people experience the world, and it is not the kind of success most people are trying to achieve.

@Mrpossidez I listened to Psychology of money podcast a lot, and one thing that was emphasised on a lot is you gain a wider perspective learning from different areas than always being laser focused on one area. This applies to people who believe any books aside self help are a waste of time.

We sometimes forget that social media is a recent invention and that if it existed from time immemorial, most books would not exist. There’s no difference between a book and a well written Twitter article, functionally. But many performative people here would “book” mark that article and swear they will NEVER read a self help book. There is nothing in that article that isn’t well documented in various self help books and just like the article is not self-enforcing, no self help books is intended to hand-hold you through personal development, at best they give you insights or perspectives. But ironically, only books get the flak for being too abstract, too subjective and what-not. It is far more intellectually honest to admit (1) that you don’t like reading certain genres of books because they’re more cognitively demanding as opposed to other genres that are more relaxing, or (2) that the structured nature of books in general can induce anxiety and you prefer to stumble on interesting things to read (which social media makes easy). These are perfectly reasonable reasons. What is utterly performative is the continuous denigration of a sub category of books as serving no purpose, when the vast majority of people barely read ANY books. Unsurprisingly, the people who really like reading are the ones likely to read that long article for the same reason they would casually pick up a book to read. Self help or otherwise. Most of you here perform your intelligence as you perform your criticisms. Neither is that deep.

Make it exist first. Make it good later.

@0Drag0n0 @MARVELSNAP The card is strong, but it doesn't feel super oppressive to play against compared to Omega Red lists. Those small ball shells really needed a good big, and this card provides that. I'd rather go against this 10x than another destroy list

This card may be way too strong, but I've had so much fun building with it! I've always agreed with the claim that new cards are better overpowered than underpowered as it keeps new content exciting and shakes up the game. Bonus points for being a dragon 🐉

@UnionSami Probably waiting for him in hand on t7

I don’t like applying my anecdotal experiences/trends to decks bcus it’s often a generalization based on my experience but I swear anyone that plays this card only snaps on turn 7. Y’all really can’t figure out to snap until 7 turns later? Whatever, Alioth is eating good.

@MarvelSnapBugle Glenn I'm on my hands and knees for this Jean rework 😭

Glenn on why Jesn Grey needs a rework

@jeffwellz My phone has been on silent since my SHS days. It's one of the first things I do when I get a new phone. Only ringtone and SMS notifications are left on

My phone has been on silent since 2016

@JonElliot11 So that means 800g for a new card? That's actually really good value-wise even if the card is bad

I know the 800 Gold (Premium Pass) for Hydro-Man is a bad deal but I'm not grinding Sanctum Showdown. Personally, I find it to be the most boring mode with the most boring meta ever. One week of that would be pure torture.

@Mrpossidez "Not in a way that can be optimised"... exactly what I've been telling my Christian friends during debates. For instance, as a coach, you'd want to pick a 7/10 player with 80% efficiency over a 10/10 player with 20% efficiency. Prayer is the latter in this

Instead of lamenting that non-believers gain material benefits that believers pray for, the more honest path might be to accept that prayers do not work the way you were taught to believe it works. Not in a consistent way. Not in a way that can be measured or optimized.

People ask these sort of questions then refuse to follow the logic through. Because they’ve been conditioned to fear questioning. If people who don’t pray get the same material things you pray for (and they do), there are only a few possibilities.
