I just published my second Substack article. It is on the metaphysical basis for property. Let me know what you think! objectivist.substack.com/p/in-the-begin…

@Elliean56557904 @RealPostFolder Do you think it benefits the son's life to act that way?

@RealPostFolder He would never get to use my beach house again. What kind of reaction is that, to your own sister no less, pathetic. If he's so inconvenienced, then he should start making new arrangements for his family

@RocketeerDriver Me, and plenty of other people.

The new trader is ridiculously grindy. The first extra stash slot takes 200k in item value, and the next jumps to 400k. Who’s realistically out here killing 100 Rocketeers just for that?

@_SUPER7X @Burnouts3s3 Lmao yeah I didn't have the context

@ProduceOrPerish @Burnouts3s3 I very much doubt KDP is the play for what I want… (See my most recent tweet.)

Some TPOXer recommended a specific site for printing your own books. Anyone know which it was? There are lots of options.

@_SUPER7X @Burnouts3s3 KDP will print too

@Burnouts3s3 Not self-publishing, just printing.

@tracewoodgrains But you don't have that option 😞

@ProduceOrPerish Neurotypical people can vote too, though I realize they’re a minority on Twitter

What political affiliation do you currently consider yourself to have, and did you ever consider yourself the opposite?

@frankiesfight @Monica55dzrh As a generous tipper, this line of argument makes me want to leave zero tip.

@Monica55dzrh $40 is less than 10 percent $120 is 20% and is the acceptable etiquette for tipping. If you can’t afford to leave a tip, you shouldn’t be going out to eat. Waitresses are paid less than minimum wages because part of their income is self income (tips)

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic..... 🤔🤔

@shlevy I worry about this with kids too...

In general I find it challenging to accept the logic of comparative advantage in areas where I have absolute advantage, but it’s especially brutal when it comes to my kids’ education.

@aimkeyx What did you like about the game in the first place?

arc raiders is at the most boring state it’s ever been in right now.

@ArcRaidersInfo Yeah man, if they're not dropping major content at least every other day, the game won't last.

Our opinion: Yes, sadly. Monthly content drops were already being complained about (not by us, we thought monthly updates were perfect) and were mostly why the game went from 480,000 daily players down to 80,000 daily players, so 5x’ing that wait for new content is insanity to most players. Quality over quantity YES, but it won’t matter when there’s only a few thousand players to provide that quality to. Let’s keep in mind: GTA 6 drops 2 weeks after the next big Arc Raiders update. It’s not looking good. Share your opinion, we’re happy to discuss and read your preservative!

Has ARC Raiders just killed their own game? ARC Raiders is moving to 2 major updates per year (instead of monthly drops) for bigger changes, while only doing regular balance and big fixes in the meantime. Next big map update is in ~167 days.

@elonmusk @zerohedge Elon Rocket, Tim Apple, and Jensen Chip walk into a bar…

@kitten_beloved @ded_ruckus But two feels the least prime, you can divide it by two

@ded_ruckus What the hell, nothing is primer than 2

poll: which prime number feels the most prime

Most right-wing memes are just screenshots of Leftists being serious.

@shlevy Happy birthday 🎈

I’ve now been part of the cycle of the seasons 36 times. Looking forward to what the next 36 bring!

@shlevy @scheminglunatic @TravisMWhitaker Nice clear explanations Shea, thanks 🙏

@scheminglunatic @TravisMWhitaker “Causality” is the general phenomenon of the nature of actions depending on the nature of the things acting. Aristotle famously identified 4 different subtypes of causality, i.e. different categories of the relationship between a thing’s nature and its actions. (cont)

Hypothesis: We should subsume formal and material cause under a broader category of *constitutive cause*, with the hylomorphic perspective being relevant to analyzing the constitutive causes of the actions of purely physical entities.

@ImmatureGamer Hopefully whatever the hell apple wants! Build your own iPhone if you want to control the app store, jesus.

Epic vs Apple is heading back to court. This next ruling will decide what Apple can charge for external payments. That’s a big deal. It directly impacts how creators, devs, and platforms monetize outside closed ecosystems. This one is worth watching.

It's remarkable because the blue button is like the anti-self-preservation button, like passive-aggressively putting your fate in the hands of others as an exercise in justifying hating them. It's willfully stepping out of self-preservation and being mad that not everyone did.

@MrBeast Fun fact: Everyone lives if everyone prioritizes their own survival and presses red (thus taking responsibility for themselves). People only die if people press blue, and what those people are doing is creating the moral dilemma for people who actually take responsibility.

@Gunner960 @ARCRaidersGame Hell yeah brother

@ARCRaidersGame This game is great, I genuinely dont understand this community.

📡 Attention, Raiders! Lock n’ load, the third Expedition window is now open! This time around, Skill Points are earned through damage dealt during the two week window. There’s up to 5 extra Skill Points to claim, alongside the evolved Patchwork outfit, a fetching turban for Scrappy, and stacking seasonal buffs. Read the full breakdown, rewards, and changes in our latest blog: arcraiders.com/news/a-triumph…

@dvorahfr Seems overall pretty reasonable, but the "profit" isn't synonymous with theft... Profit isn't the enemy.

To those who pit Sam Altman and Elon Musk against each other like a billionaire feud, look, do your own research. When have you ever seen Elon Musk use his money to buy a yacht, a paradise island, or engage in extravagant spending? Even the money from this lawsuit, if he wins, will be donated to charity. On the other hand, why did Sam Altman change the bylaws of OpenAI, which was a non-profit organization? Why is everything opaque at OpenAI? Who benefits from the money? To all the skeptics, do your own research. I have no doubt about your conclusions if you seek the truth. On one side, there is a man who dedicates his life to the well-being of humanity, and on the other, a man who seeks profit, even at the risk of endangering humanity. Elon Musk must win.
