@aidenybai It’s the same as a cafe spending money to make their seating inviting. The more time people spend in the cafe (internet), the more coffee they buy (ad clicks). It’s win-win-win: users have a better experience, companies get more impressions, Google gets more revenue.

why does google serve google fonts for free? is it just for public good or is there a hidden incentive

@resisfertile @c0nting3nc3 A healthy male in his vigorous years doesn’t need a rest day for 100 push ups. 100 push ups would be a half decent warm up to my actual workouts.

@c0nting3nc3 One reason I disagree here is 1. you will need at least 1-2 rest days per week 2. assumes no sickness, injury, or other interruptions 3. Vast majority of people can't even start at 10 pushups The above only holds up with a lot of very rosy assumptions.

how someone answers this is a helpful rubric for deciding should you pay any attention to any of their views. Do they display first level, second level, or third level thinking?

@CaptainLoser89 @joewallin False again. Social government spending gives very low return on investment. The 5:1 figure is overstated and getting positive returns at all is dependent on how well funds are managed. Do you consider $500mm per mile to be good management?

@rishijaguar @joewallin Most social government spending stimulates the economy. Government spending is essential to maximizing growth. One example being that for every dollar put into public transit, the local economy has a five dollar return because of the economic opportunities and jobs it creates.

@CaptainLoser89 @joewallin Totally false. Governments tend to maximize their revenue, not maximize growth.

@rishijaguar @joewallin The most developed nations all have progressive tax systems, including the US with its federal income tax. It has not once meaningfully harmed productivity or innovation.

@CaptainLoser89 @joewallin Income taxes slow growth because they penalize activities that drive expansion like working and investing. You will earn less in the long run when growth slows. The fairness of sales taxes can be smoothed out with rebates and credits. These are well established ideas.

@joewallin Its always been the goal for an income tax to replace the high sales tax. Sales taxes are extremely regressive and disproportionately affect poor families. An income tax is far more fair and equitable for everybody.

@micsolana If responses are secret then I have to press blue because I know I have family who will press blue due to their faith in humanity and I can’t leave them hanging.

fwiw, and this is embarrassing but I'm going to admit it, my instinct was blue, and I pressed blue. then I thought about it for a moment and the answer was clearly red. I can't make a rational case for blue, but understand where blues are coming from (they are wrong).

@benjitaylor Should have made it “Ben G. Taylor”

I like that people are taking this seriously when this was the inspiration

Everyone needs a good business card

@westerbamos Hmm what would happen if you didn’t have that info at all?

@rishijaguar I don’t think every parent needs this. But I remember how quickly the days blurred together and how often we were reconstructing basic info from memory. Tottli is for that moment: less guessing, easier handoffs, calmer care

For the past two months, my wife and I have been tracking every feed, pump, and diaper for our newborn son with an app we've been building. Today, we're ready to share it with you. Meet Tottli. Baby care, beautifully simple. Now live in the App Store! tottli.com

@itinerantfog True

started introspecting about 12 or 13 got heavy into it around 18/19 and by 33 im done

@woke8yearold End game? It’s early yet.

I don’t think anyone is going to catch OpenAI and Anthropic except maybe Google. This is already endgame

@DukeHerndon This is depressing on all fronts, find God.

Plausible deniability. If you don’t say shit, nothing changes. The situationship just continues. Do not talk your way out of her pants.

@0x49fa98 This is why I don’t poast. You can never be sure that you’re truly anonymous. If you become public you have to bear the weight on your shoulders and you either cower or hold strong—and likely get crushed like JP.

@FoxyGames5548 @MemesUpMyAss Not anymore brada

@MemesUpMyAss I will never understand people that watch real gore like bro those are REAL PEOPLE with REAL LIVES

@KaiaParker7 @mrsdobbins_ And plenty of married women have relationships with their own friends too, but their favorite relationship is with who they married.

@rishijaguar @mrsdobbins_ That’s interesting. Because I know tons of men with kids who still go golfing every other weekend with their buddies

um sure I’ll check my schedule, but if my husband who I hang out with constantly is available, I’ll be hanging out with him

@KaiaParker7 @mrsdobbins_ People in deep relationships prefer each other’s company above anyone else and that’s normal. Once you have kids you need each other more than anyone else, and you don’t have time for anyone else either.

@rishijaguar @mrsdobbins_ Of course a man would say this!

@CoolandGoodGuy @altprdx @marketplunger1 The stock market already existed in the last fourth turning during the 1920s-40s

@altprdx @marketplunger1 Irrelevant. The institutions you used to invest in weapons of war won’t exist in the First Turning. The First Turning shuns the institutions of the Fourth Turning absolutely. That’s the fundamental point of the Turning.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you guys. This is the Fourth Turning Economy. Invest accordingly.

@alphaman_111 @charlesmurray This is exactly why they struggle to complete the homework. Their ancestors had supreme responsibility (purpose) at their age and now all they’re called upon to do is read a few books and fill out a piece of paper. Understandable why they’re tuning out.

On day 1 of my high school history class, our professor got up and said You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago people your age were married, planted crops, had children, and built a cabin by winter. You can do your homework. The bar set for you historically is embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe, air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.

@FischerKing64 This is forced perspective, Steilacoom is 60 miles from Mt Rainier

Technically Mt. Rainier is an active volcano. One day all those lovely homes crawling up the hill will be smashed to pieces. This is what Mt. Saint Helens looked like in the 1970s - before it blew apart in 1980. A beautiful, almost perfectly symmetrical mountain.
