The most common trait I’ve noticed in the smartest people I know: They want to be left the fuck alone.

@ProtonInspector Agreed. Makes the most sense.

I’m pretty sure this is Edric, in the book he comes to Arrakis and presents Hayt to Paul but not like in a box or anything, also Scytale is there posing as one of Edrics assistants. I think people are also a bit too attached to Lynch’s depiction of navigators

What sucks is that a lot of IMAX screens have their audio compromised because some Karen complained about the audio being too loud. I prefer watching on Atmos screens because they don’t fuck around with the audio, it’s the main draw of those particular theater screens.

And don’t let anyone fool you, when a finance guy hears the word divorce, mentally his brain goes Cha-Ching!

It’s when it’s no longer a happy marriage that the financial part gets ugly. I’ve had to refinance people out of great loans into shitty ones with higher rates because they owed their spouse the equity. It’s an ugly truth, but divorce is a money printer for people in finance.

@snnsnshn @Degen_CPA This.

@Degen_CPA They create a persona or two, and present that to almost everyone. Rarely anyone knows what they're about, and almost no one is capable of understanding them, even when exposed to the real one.

i dont see how people with high IQs fit in with society. The game youre playing is dumbed down to talk about sports ball with your fat co-workers, there is no substance, no depth. the truly smart among us would want no part of this

@Pirat_Nation Dude’s got a Bluesky account. Probably means the game is legit.

Jason schreirer about Crimson Desert: “boring and soulless that I absolutely did not want to play anymore. Feels like a game designed for people who just want to Consume Content.”

@AndrewStrohm Thanks, I’ll post pics when I’m done

@dread_game She’s going to be beautiful

Gearing up for my next build, my first complete build in about a year. 6.5 Creedmoor Semi-Auto Precision rifle. 22” stainless steel barrel. AR10 platform. Picking up the rest of the parts tomorrow. Get a hobby. (Staccato for flex factor).

⚡️Vegas is a beautifully lit tax on weak positioning. That is what it really is. The whole place is built to identify moments where people are tired, impulsive, drunk, overstimulated, socially pressured, sexually charged, or too committed to leave, and then price into that weakness with surgical precision. The pizza is just one receipt from a much larger machine. Vegas figured out that gambling does not need to be the only casino. The room is a casino. The drinks are a casino. The food is a casino. The parking is a casino. The convenience is a casino. Every basic human need gets turned into a high margin trap the moment you are enclosed inside the system. They are not trying to delight you. They are trying to keep you moving while they shave you at every layer. And deep down, this is also America in concentrated form. Vegas just has the decency to make the extraction visible. The broader country has been moving the same way for years. Junk fees, service charges, dynamic pricing, app markups, subscription traps, stadium food, airport food, hospital billing, all of it. Vegas is just the purest expression because the mask is thinner there. The city says pleasure. The mechanism says capture. So what is really going on here is that whole zone has learned that once people are locked into a high stimulation environment, normal price discipline breaks down. People stop optimizing. They stop comparison shopping. They stop walking away. They start paying for momentum. That is when the machine feeds. A lot of modern leisure now works like this. It sells escape, then monetizes exhaustion. It sells fantasy, then charges you for every breath inside the fantasy. That is why people feel more resentment than the dollar amount alone should produce. They can feel the structure. They know they were farmed. So the outrage is justified. Vegas is no longer mainly selling fun. It is selling controlled vulnerability.

Goldman Sachs loading up their AI bags. Yes, yes, sell to them cheap.

@fujimotosloyal Good point. I haven’t played it before, but from what I’ve heard about it, it does sound like the earliest and most scaled iteration of what it would look like at this point in time. Makes sense for it to expand even further from a platform like Fortnite.

@dread_game fortnite is, literally, the metaverse zuck wanted to build and it was already done

The metaverse doesn’t stop just because Meta dropped the ball. Regardless of how you feel, The future of reality is augmented. Iteration 1, a failure. Because the wrong company was trying to build it.

Zegna cashmere hat. I wear it everywhere. Except the gun range.

Good sir, those of us with money refer to it as early retirement.

Boom. It’s like Scorsese telling people that Wolf of Wall Street was a precautionary tale. When in reality it was a huge inspiration and motivator for sales floors around the world.

I agree. For the first time human history, you get to tap into the collective consciousness of practically every human that has ever existed (in a way) and can use those systems to build and optimize whatever your mind can think of more efficiently than ever before. High IQ.

This is how UPS and FedEx treat your packages as well.

@CapitalLongshot @baldassarreted Which one did you get? I have a Planet Ocean (2026) with an orange bezel and a rubber strap.

@CapitalLongshot @baldassarreted Hiyooooo
