After playing laser tag with my kids, I now have serious doubts about the effectiveness of child soldiers.

I love America. I love Coca-Cola. I love the economic system that made the artifacts of American culture so abundant you take it for granted.

If Coca-Cola were a rare tea crafted by artisans in a foreign mountain, tourists would pay $10k to fly across the world to sip it from a thimble.

@RandomSprint It’s crazy how you nuked the last one just to get away from me personally

One theme I'm noticing from the Twitter parent gc is that all our toddlers do not want to take their bike helmets off. If my kids are bizarre, they'll have friends they can be bizarre with together.

@NathanpmYoung This is a good start, but you owe your future children and their mother even more.

@delujog No, I think the large Texas flag on the shirt answers that question.
English
@RandomSprint For all they know, you would switch to some random nationality like Uzbek. But no one bothered to ask

My "American until Texas secedes" shirt is raising zero questions at the world cup watch party. All possible questions are answered by the shirt, and everyone understands.

@RandomSprint @OneEyedAlpaca Im gonna wash your mouth out with cilantro

@MunicipleOrrery @orthonormalist @goblinodds @orthodoxmason @kendrictonn I usually agree, but not always.

@RandomSprint @orthonormalist @goblinodds @orthodoxmason @kendrictonn That too! I think it should work on as many layers as possible simultaneously. Intentionally putting a "break" in there to reduce audience size is IMO a failure.

It's a bit like the simulacra layers, in a way. Everyone (except autists) is always operating at the high levels, so the questions are, what's the lowest level you're operating at, and what's the highest level you're aware of operating at? With art, beauty or aesthetics seems like the bottom level. And in my (totally braindead) opinion, good art provides a path for people to discover the higher levels themselves, as with a Zen koan. x.com/MunicipleOrrer…

Re: the inner tweet. There's a weird, or perhaps entirely explicable, tic for schlock art to rely upon some quirk of medium, and a quirk of medium that has little bearing on the final result, to justify itself. Once you notice it it's everywhere.

It’s like a Bic pen exploded in your pocket. Kind of insulting honestly.

@OneEyedAlpaca @ouranometrian2 We've both placed itself into a situation where honest dialog is forbidden. I saw you were in a pit, and I jumped in to join you. It's warm in here. And slick.

@RandomSprint @ouranometrian2 i already apologized, what else do you want

@Thickskellyman It would be considered the manliest drink ever.

@RandomSprint If coca-cola were an aged whiskey made from ancient limestone filtered water and a negotiated tension of the finest milled midwestern grains distilled into charred oak barrels for 20 years, a kentuckian might pay thousands of dollars for one heavy glass, wax-dipped sealed bottle

If Coca-Cola were a rare tea crafted by artisans in a foreign mountain, tourists would pay $10k to fly across the world to sip it from a thimble.
English
If Coca-Cola were deep underground in hidden reservoirs, Texans would spend billions to locate, drill, and pump the liquid, and then they'd sell it for a loss at $30/barrel.
English
If Coca-Cola were a staple of French cuisine, it would be hailed as a "mother syrup." Francophiles would go to sleep excited to wake up and drink more. The sacred blend of spices would be legally protected in a state enforced monopoly.

@RandomSprint You know who it’s replacing in this situation
English
Yes, LLMs may put the majority of people out of a job, but it also helped my wife replace the batteries on a 4 yo pair of Sony headphones, so it's impossible to say if it's good or bad.

BREAKING NEWS: Australian courts just ruled that this video cannot be used in the upcoming criminal trial of the Sydney jihadist nurses.
Lawyers for the pair argued the nurses were recorded without their consent when they promised to kill Jewish patients.
We are one of the most cucked nations in the world. Left leaning judges keep making decisions that give extraordinary latitude to criminals and jihadists.
If this was Singapore they would have already been deported.

BREAKING: Two Islamist Australian doctors say they would kill any Israeli patient they encounter in Australia. IMMEDIATELY FIRE AND DEPORT.

@orthonormalist @goblinodds @orthodoxmason @kendrictonn Hmm. I think a good narrative should work on the subconscious level.
English
@orthodoxmason @kendrictonn My unpopular view is that one of the requirements for something to be art is that it must successfully convey the intended meaning of the artist to the majority of its intended audience

Theoretically, if one were turned on by creating shareholder value, then playing factory simulation games would be porn. And one might play those for 13 hours in a day. Theoretically.

Terry Crews reveals just how bad his porn addiction got “I got a day off from the set, and I could watch porn from probably 10 o’clock after my workout, 10am to 11pm at night” “It wouldn’t stop and I couldn’t stop, it was what you would call a splurge, I just couldn’t stop” “When day turns into night and you’re still watching, I knew I had a problem”
