Grey Papers

@Xaraphim This is the patent application. Not a patent yet. worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/…

incredible things are happening

@iowahawkblog Isn't that the point though, our problem is with the lack of humility that led Ehrlich to continue being who he was and declare it was a problem with science if you didn't like it. Borlaug would have done that and it was because he's a wheaty boi

As a testament to Borlaug's humility, there's a story that he drove his car to work at Texas A&M's Borlaug Center on a Aggie home game Saturday. A parking officer told the Nobel Prize winner he wasn't permitted to park the building named in his honor, and he quietly complied.

yes Norman Borlaug was a humble Iowa farmer, but he had a PhD in plant pathology and genetics. And was a professor at Minnesota, Cornell, and Texas A&M.

@harper_pau55997 @BretVDB No one ever accused rappers of being pretentious. That's not the word for that.

@GreyPapers @BretVDB Pretentiousness is a feature of the underbred. They call it n word rich. Ulysses is trash.

Virginia Woolf’s diary entries on James Joyce’s Ulysses: “An illiterate, underbred book it seems to me; the book of a self taught working man, and we all know how distressing they are, how egotistic, insistent, raw, striking, and ultimately nauseating. … I finished ‘Ulysses’ and think it is a misfire. Genius it has, I think; but of the inferior water. The book is diffuse. It is brackish. It is pretentious. It is underbred, not only in the obvious sense, but in the literary sense. A first-rate writer, I mean, respects writing too much to be tricky; startling; doing stunts.”

@runaway_vol The turtles and the California coastal planning commission obviously.

communists never answered the question of who gets the coastal real estate

@boneGPT "goldberg"

GOYSLOP mentioned in the NYT

@nmlinguaphile Yes, why now?

Okay, seriously. The allegations are that this happened 65 and and 59 years ago and NOW she’s coming forward? Spare me.

@FedPoasting Fist stretching is a human right

@GreyPapers “They voluntarily walked into my fist”

She retired because she was no longer allowed to use university channels to request voluntary pronouns disclosures. Incredible.

@Aelthemplaer They know how their bread is buttered.

If this goes as badly as we all expect, you could see a legit cia-military overthrow of the government - and I think most people will be for it.

@literally_chad OR

Imagine if the EU had stayed the correct size and gone federal

@musestoomuch That's why religion has monogamy, so it is spread around evenly and doesn't get to excessive in public. Studies show that hypergamy leads to wars; so these are causally linked as well.

female sexuality is comparable in impact to male violence in society.. both good and bad

@RogerPielkeJr @FamedCelebrity HEHEHE

This from Paul Ehrlich will make you think "If I'm always wrong so is science, since my work is always peer-reviewed, including the POPULATION BOMB and I've gotten virtually every scientific honor." Link in reply

@Wild_Arms_RandD @DeltaClimbs

Sneak peek of what we have been designing to destroy drones , Currently submitted to the US Xtech Program , will give more updates soon. Back to swizzlestick while we wait on results

@LizzyStarrrdust exactly.

There are more low IQ men than there are low IQ women. It's science.

@calvinfroedge Is rotation to energy wise when oil infra is getting struck?

So why are people selling gold? This one is really hard for me to grasp Only thing I can come up with is rotation to energy

@_baldtires yes, but only if you use it right. I've had too many elite lawyers try to use it in every conversation and they clearly have never used it as intended (after hitting their thumb with a hammer or equivalent). It can't sound performatory.

im finding that saying "fuck" over the phone with tradespeople and machine vendors greases the gears of the interaction

@p8stie Catholics solved this problem. Too bad you aren't italian.

life is hard for me as a woman. The choice is between being useless problematic and sexy Or i can be useful .. but then u get me asexual distant robust and Protestant So hard to be both . I haven’t seen it happen yet

@default_friend You don't think they are possibly getting a more attractive partner because they agree to be poly? That's what I have seen, both get something they wouldn't otherwise get, just can't have everything.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t think polyamory is the problem, I think entering arrangements you’re not comfortable with because you don’t think anyone else will be in a relationship with you is the problem.

@fimbres_paul @zachglabman Yes, but that is no different than a medieval guild. They did the same type of price fixing. That is for a different purpose than collective bargaining with a single employer. If only the most experienced in a trade are paid then the trade dies with them.

Unions were quite literally invented to protect the jobs of the lowest-performing employees in a profession. The very first union in the United States was created to a minimum price per pair of shoes. The best shoe makers could make their shoes for about 1/5th the cost of the worst ones. Therefore, shoe makers got together and announced they wouldn’t do business with anyone who bought shoes from any maker who sold them below a certain price. This worked by shutting off access to the market if you needed to buy shoes for a large number of employees. Thus, the first union was created.

problem with unions is not wages or conditions but the fact that you cannot fire bad people
