@captgouda24 It lets you hollow out government projects you've stopped supporting, letting you do a expand/retract cycle killing the underperformers silently and taking credit for the expands. Inflation pegging has showed up but as long as we have economic growth this still kinda works

Does anyone have a satisfactory answer as to why?

@ozyfrantz @Aella_Girl Legally this was a question "Do you think this might be the thing, why/why not?"

@ozyfrantz @Aella_Girl "Presence" I'd wager. I know someone like this. They keep getting incredible job offers, their ex-boss wants to do bi-monthly brunches etc, just something about her type deal

i am aware my face is mid. I had ppl rate it (and also i have eyes) and i'm clearly mid. i agree this makes it confusing as to how I've been so incredibly successful as a sex worker

@CoreyWriting Indians are low status and uncool, Japanese people aren't. It's not really about how productive said people are, even though that is the socially acceptable proxy for discussing the topic

I don't think this is really true. Indian Americans are successful and commit zero crime, but there's a huge backlash against them. There is a significant contingent of Americans that simply don't want the country to become less white.

Bad people exist and we've build at society that disadvantages them, leaving them at the bottom of said society. People from poor countries aren't all bad people, people from rich countries aren't all good. Some amount from each society is bad and then pushed to the bottom

People from China will be considered poor in the US without having been bottom of the barrel poor in China. People in the US aren't poor by international standards but there's still a high degree of anti social behavior at the bottom of the US population

@nosilverv To some degree a feature too, since it avoids weird "exploit subset of population" situations, at least in a bunch of different voting systems. It's one of the main qualities of some of the "allocate votes" systems

Fundamental problem of political economics: larger groups have higher coordination cost than smaller ones. The latter thus dominate the former.

@nosilverv turbo quantity maxxing

Quantity is better than quality but if you can't do quality quantity is better than nothing.

@ClipperCitizen @justalexoki turbo normie take, Ye was good, album death happens from Jesus is King and onwards

@justalexoki 1: Reasonable people can disagree 2: Reasonable people can disagree 3: Reasonable people can disagree 4-7: Reasonable people can disagree 8+: everything after TLOP

everybody disagreeing in the replies. at least every single real Kanye fan has the same favorite Kanye ALBUM, you can actually actually tell 100% of the time if someone is a real fan by asking them this

@Aella_Girl Their self worth depends on you being unmarriable, and what better way to will it than to state it? (delusionmaxxing)

my twitter experience feels like muslims shouting at western woman in a tanktop "you whore, no wonder you can't find a man, me and all the men i know find u disgusting"

@Aella_Girl Legally this is dodging the issue. A conflict/mistake lense is way better suited here

@Aella_Girl "Your body is GUARANTEED to be a place worth inhabiting", it's so weird that people take this as a law of nature. Like no, it very much isn't a guarantee, way less so after all the medical advancements we've made

May those fully against MAID never have to endure their minds changed by a loved one's suffering

@BenShindel Hard to have a level-headed talk with someone whose public identity is their job. They can't even flinch lest the leopards bite

What a bizarre interaction?

@lapislagoons As a bonus: Women like banter too, it's often referred to as "someone that challenges me" which is more a mindset than a state of the world (i.e. not about his job, it's about how he engages you.)

@lapislagoons The first few comments I saw were all wrong and/or dodging the question. You already understand how it can go wrong, here's how it can go right. I push you, both so hard that you notice, but also so softly you don't topple. I prove I understand you and your boundaries

men throw the slightest jabs at each other constantly and I don’t fully understand it but do you guys like it? what psychological need does it fulfill?

@Aella_Girl Depends a hell of a lot on what you have to give up for the investment. Expanding the team doesn't have to be a req, it can just be enabling the current team to be more effective etc

im working on a project where i think i might be able to somewhat easily get investment money, but I'm not sure I want to, partially cause it would primarily involve expanding the team, and I am untried and unconfident in managing/hiring staff. how do i think about this

@aravartanian @mungbeankitty @signulll @Aella_Girl If you think Hanania is the correct answer you haven't consumed much Aella, guy is too earnest for this to be about him

@mungbeankitty @signulll @Aella_Girl Hanania.

a long time ago i had the experience of chatting irl with someone well known on twitter, well connected, well platformed, influential, etc. He was smart, seemed to have domain expertise in his technical field. But gradually over the course of the conversation I realized he didn't actually know what he was talking about. He used complicated words, but in subtly off ways, and would reply to questions with things that sounded like answers but actually weren't.He'd confidently reference concepts that I think he assumed I didn't know, but I did know, and I knew that the term he used didn't actually have anything to do with his claim, etc. But his confidence was intense and radiating, and the speed at which he talked and the complex vocabulary he used really disguised what I perceived to be both a lack of deep understanding of the material and also a lack of self-awareness that he didn't have deep understanding! I've def met people who disagree with me online who I think *do* engage deeply with the concepts, but this specific one didn't, and it was a little blackpilling for me to realize that he had such a following from a bunch of people who couldn't tell the difference.

@TylerAlterman is "terrible" used to engagement bait?

Why does every boy under 20 suddenly have the same terrible haircut?

@nosilverv but yea it's a lot easier to find someone good at sales. It's a lot easier to pay your way out of too

@nosilverv "coming up with something new and valuable" is often fun and happens naturally, where as the other step requires you to either be in the know or be the type of person where that is intuitively important (which often has connotations of exploitative, get-your-bag, hustle mindset)

Kinda shocked by how many people do the hard part (coming up with something new and valuable) but not the easy part (distributing it/marketing/sales). Feel like everyone undervalues "plumbing" or "infrastructure" type skills when those are multiplicative(!!) [as vs additive(!!)]
