@styt101 I don’t wanna be that guy but that was kinda funny

This ad alone is gonna make Paxton win by 5 lololol

All of this work just to get a deal worse than JCPOA. Like we're agreeing to talk about it at a certain point, lol..

You know what's worse about all of it? I think we should keep bombing Iran, but I also know that we shouldn't be in this war to begin with. If this deal goes through, it would set a precedent in international relations.

First they came for the asylum seekers, and I did not speak out - they were a drag on GDP, and I was busy accelerating the techno-capital machine. Then they came for the undocumented workers, and I did not speak out - they had not contributed to foundational AI. Then they came for the DACA kids and the OPT students, and I did not speak out - my visa was already stamped. Then they came for the H-1Bs, and I did not speak out - surely they meant the lower-skilled ones, not technologists like me. Then they came for my path to citizenship, and I felt robbed - because I had a PhD, and ten years of foundational contribution, and I had assumed the policy was for the other immigrants.

@clusterbitch_ I thought that was vaush for a second lol

you weren’t robbed. you chose it because you thought you could devastate millions of people’s lives without causing harm to your own. you fully deserved every bit of it.

perhaps my favorite New Yorker reject of the year so far

@kaiba_1991 @GeneSmi96946389 I would like to not think of my kids in terms of investments, but it would be a fair assessment. If I had 50k to drop, I would. But that's also a really nice house, or a car for them, or college savings, etc. Opportunity costs are massive

@Ne0Mango @GeneSmi96946389 the lifetime earnings of a child with 99.99th percentile IQ could be millions of dollars above an avg kid. Its an investment and a really fucking good one.

A friend of mine had her embryos screened by Herasight and they found one with an IQ score in the 99.99th percentile

@viktorg475 @GeneSmi96946389 Yes, some things I'm worried about, I haven't done much reading, but I know breast cancer runs in my family. It is something to really consider if it's as cheap for testing as you say. Thanks!

@Ne0Mango @GeneSmi96946389 Hard to say. Would have to wait until they'd be 10 for any serious IQ testing, to confirm. But even if you don't do the embryonic IQ testing, you still should do it for the cancer & brain disorder testing.

@viktorg475 @GeneSmi96946389 I have had discussions with my partner about this; she is open to it, so am I, but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. How did it work for you?

@Ne0Mango @GeneSmi96946389 No. The testing is less than $10k. Creating the embryos is about $20k-$30k if you are using your own eggs. Testing was like $5k for me.

"Reaganomics was amazing"

@RichardHanania No, these guys played it right here, a girl randomly approaching me with some camera in my face and doing a lame ass pick up line is not getting my attention.

No sense of humor. Definitely not playing to stereotypes.

@tool_sh3d The Deep is my favorite character because of what he represents. Who the hell is looking up to him?

the irony of men unironically looking up to the deep, homelander and soldier boy as these “alpha male characters” just to completely miss the point that they are all very insecure, pathetic and fake characters much like the real life “alpha males” that the same people look up to

The show keeps trying to convince you that Butcher is a bad person but almost everything he does is completely justified and he doesnt even go scorched earth at the end he pussies out like a bitch
