If capitalism truly rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists. If it rewarded talent, it would be artists, writers, and creators. If it rewarded hard work, it would be cleaners, laborers, and service workers. But it’s none of them.

@tanpukunokami Which one has the most nattokinase, for the therapeutic health benefits for all of the vax-injured who can't afford a supplement?

You probably think soy sauce is just... soy sauce. Nope. Japan has six kinds. 🟡 Shiro — super pale. Used when you don't want to color the food. 🟠 Usukuchi — looks light, but it's actually saltier than the regular one. 🟤 Amakuchi — sweet soy sauce. Yes, sweet. It's a Kyushu thing. ⚫ Koikuchi — the dark one you know. 80% of all soy sauce in Japan. 🟣 Saishikomi — they brew it twice. It's what we use for sashimi. ⚫ Tamari — almost no wheat, mostly soybean. Thick, deep, gluten-free. And the crazy part? We don't all use the same one. Tokyo uses koikuchi — the dark stuff you see abroad. Osaka and Kyoto use usukuchi, so the broth stays clear and pretty. Kyushu? Their soy sauce is sweet. Like, really sweet. Aichi loves tamari — thick, dark, almost pure soybean. Same country. Totally different bottles. Which one would you try first?

@toobaffled Please make sure these savage red blooded men who would be killer heroes in any other age are fully vaccinated with a poison trojan horse treatment against a bullshit virus with a 99+% survival rate. "RIP"

Former NFL defensive lineman Josh Mauro, who played eight seasons for three different teams, has died. He was 35. The Stanford graduate played 80 games across his career with the Cardinals, New York Giants and Oakland Raiders, recording five sacks and 130 tackles.

Bob Marley wrote "No Woman, No Cry" but gave the credit to his friend Vincent Ford, who ran a soup kitchen in Trenchtown, so the royalties would help keep it running.

@MercuriusFilius Ran out of characters but it's also important to consider the capital gains tax liability buffered by the interest on the withholding escrow pool, but that's business

@MercuriusFilius 200 minus interest on the line of credit referenced against the bond yield divided by time the asset was held, minus any transaction fees and shoe leather costs, of course

How would you answer this common BlackRock interview question?

@ShaneFrakes Ask me thirty years ago

If you were given the option to learn the secrets of this reality, and have a brain and body altered to see it, move within it, and flourish, but the price was years of physical and psychological torture, trauma, depression, and isolation, would you take it? Or would you choose to remain safe, sane, and content as you already are?

@PathOfMen_ The true currency in life is air, water, food, clothing, shelter, and love, in that order. Don't go broke thinking you're broke when you are not actually broke.

To all men who survived rock bottom, what’s one piece of advice would you give a man who feels like giving up right now

@Cortex_Zero Although I don't know you or the work you do, or the work you are considering, As someone who took the plunge last week, I can tell you that the water is cold and I have swam in it many times before. Prepare for extreme fiscal austerity and networking, and get the resume ready...

I need genuine advice from people who care about me, and from anyone who has ever stood at the edge of a life-altering decision with no guarantee that the ground would hold. I am seriously considering one of the biggest, riskiest moves of my life. Things at my day job are continuing to deteriorate. One of my favorite coworkers is leaving for another opportunity, and once they go, there will be four people left trying to run an operation that realistically needs ten or more. I am exhausted. Not casually tired. Not “I need a weekend” tired. I mean physically drained, mentally worn down, spiritually depleted, and increasingly aware that something inside me is starting to break from the pressure. The workload is absurd. The pay does not come close to matching what is being demanded of us. Every day feels like being asked to carry more weight while the floor beneath us keeps disappearing. I have given nearly five years of my life to this place, and I am deeply unhappy there. Very unhappy. At the same time, I know what I am capable of creatively. I know what I can build. I know what I can write, research, produce, investigate, and bring into the world when I actually have the time and energy to do it. That is the cruelest part. The life I feel called toward is right there, but the job that keeps me barely stable is also the thing consuming the energy I would need to reach it. I am considering finding a way out, while also trying to understand whether I would qualify for unemployment if this situation becomes impossible to continue. That would potentially give me time to fully dedicate myself to the research, the content, the work with @dfurneaux, and the larger creative path I have been building toward for years. But it is terrifying. I would lose my health insurance. I would have to find coverage on my own. I may have to pay out of pocket for medications. I do not know exactly how long unemployment would take to begin, or how much I would actually receive. I have heard it may be a decent amount, but nothing is guaranteed. So this is not some romantic fantasy about quitting a job and chasing a dream. This is a real risk. A frightening risk. It is me gambling on myself, my work, my discipline, my voice, my creativity, my research, and everything I have been trying to build online and in the world. But I also know this: I need to get out of this place. I can feel it. I do not believe we are meant to spend our lives being crushed by systems that drain us, underpay us, and leave us too exhausted to become who we actually are. I believe I have something meaningful to offer. I believe I can create things that matter. I believe there is a version of my life where I am not merely surviving the week, but actually living, building, thinking, writing, producing, and giving everything I have to the work I was meant to do. But belief does not pay for insurance. Belief does not cover prescriptions. Belief does not guarantee rent, groceries, or stability. So I am standing here at the edge of the known and the unknown, trying to figure out whether this is reckless, necessary, or both. I truly do not know what to do. But I know I cannot keep living like this forever. #ufox #ufotwitter

@TiffanyFong You know how to attract great talent 😆

I am hiring a junior analyst.

@KenTana2020 Great post @KenTana2020 , it's true in all of it's claims. Do you also find it strange that management and execution are controlled by the chief executive officer, instead of the chief management officer? I think it is a misnomer, what do you think?

日本の皆さん、こんにちは。 先日、日本の方が泥酔している人の周りにペットボトルの水やコーヒーを置いている様子を見かけたのですが、正直なところ、少し不思議に思いました。 なぜ泥酔している人の周りに水やコーヒーを置くのか、どなたか理由を教えていただけませんか？

@GovTimWalz I underestimated your skill in ragebaiting Tim, this is peak

If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught — and that’s exactly what we saw today. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it.

@WhiteHouse Good grief, first there's kings, then no kings, now this 😆🤣😂🤣😆

Scam Altman and Greg Stockman stole a charity. Full stop. Greg got tens of billions of stock for himself and Scam got dozens of OpenAI side deals with a piece of the action for himself, Y Combinator style. After this lawsuit, Scam will also be awarded tens of billions in stock directly. The fundamental question is simply this: Do you want to set legal precedent in the United States that it is ok to loot a charity? If so, you undermine all charitable giving in the United States forever. I could have started OpenAI as a for-profit corporation. Instead, I started it, funded it, recruited critical talent and taught them everything I know about how to make a startup successful FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. Then they stole the charity.
