@DuaneMilton1109 @AdemLuz @MetamateDaz @600in20 I agree with Duane, op has the right idea in that you are ultimately responsible for yourself, but Duane is right, people ultimately don’t care about your outcome if it doesn’t effect their outcome

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

Occasional errors and oversights are part of science. If we lost our driver’s license for a year every time we exceeded the speed limit by 10 km/h, daily life would become unworkable. Many countries instead use point systems, where trust can be rebuilt through good behavior.

A lot of people on @X should feel tremendous shame & remorse for terribly uninformed attacks on @BarakRavid, hands-down the most wired, hardest-working Middle East reporter. You sided w/ Iranian bots & lies & anti-Semites. Some of u actually know better. Do some soul-searching.

@brianmckim @maxdubler There have been Nepali restaurants for years, but it's only recently become ubiquitous. If you are at a place with more than 2 food trucks, one of them is selling momos

@maxdubler Delaware Valley diners in the 90s and 2000's championed a Burmese restaurant in PHL called Rangoon. A delightful combo of Thai and Indian food as I recall. We reverse-engineered their noodle soup at home a few times. They closed a few years ago, I think

The millennial craft movement vastly improved American gastronomy and I refuse to let zoomers with no cultural memory of the bland garbage we ate and drank 20 years ago meme me into thinking it is cringe.

@targeted_user @yhdistyminen @xwanyex Grok it or something dude. You're the one making the claim that private property can't exist outside of the state.
English
@upgyre @yhdistyminen @xwanyex Where and when? You say it's obvious but I can't think of any examples
English
@targeted_user @yhdistyminen @xwanyex Right. It's a coordination decision. And we apply it to all sorts of other property as a tool.
We have recognized private property outside the State throughout history. Which is to say, the property ownership itself is not predicated on the state's monopoly on violence.
English
@upgyre @yhdistyminen @xwanyex You already said that. I would encourage you to investigate parts of the world where the state does not have a monopoly on violence, and see what happens to private property there
English
@targeted_user @yhdistyminen @xwanyex This is suggesting that the the state’s monopoly on violence is a prerequisite for private property. Which it obviously isn’t.
English
@xwanyex @GScottShand The main thing the govt does for homeowners is stop me from living in their house

@upgyre @yhdistyminen @xwanyex It's hard for you to maintain private property if I'm allowed to kill you and seize your formerly owned objects

@MattBruenig @olgakhazan Not really, holding lifetime income constant it's basically equivalent to have kids early and save less money when young, then save more as a 50yo empty nester, versus having kids later and saving throughout life.
English
Love this. The only way to guarantee your kids won't have a future is to not have kids
Sigal Samuel@SigalSamuel
The idea that you need to save up a certain amount of money before you have kids is really common. But I think it's wrong. Here's my argument in @voxdotcom (gift link): vox.com/future-perfect…

In the race to succeed Nancy Pelosi, wealthy challenger Saikat Chakrabarti has a new poll that shows him within spitting distance of Scott Wiener.
Wiener and Chakrabarti are well ahead of Supervisor Connie Chan in the English-only poll.

@Hilda05052692 @steve_hanke Mises never actually said this, but taxes were much higher during his life than they are now. Most of your beliefs are likely based on similarly false premises, you should reconsider them

@steve_hanke that was when taxes were very very low, today they can make us richer, by removing taxes.

"Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder blasts AI creators as "losers" and says she wants to "put their head in the toilet and flush":
“The people who make this stuff are losers. They’re not artists. They’re not creative. And they’ve wanted their whole lives to be special. And they’re not special. So, they’re trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can’t. And even if you try, you will never be cool. You guys suck. No one likes you. Anyone who’s near you is because they crave power and access over any ethical standard. You are a loser. You will never be cool. And you probably had a rolly backpack in high school. I wanna put your head in the toilet and flush.”

A few years ago, if you had told me that El Salvador would be more religious than many parts of Europe, I would have laughed.

They are building a new Cathedral in El Salvador. Meanwhile we keep seeing our Cathedrals become mosques or restaurants or gyms, El Salvador is actually building them up. Every time I think Bukele couldn’t do better, he does. Wow. 👏🏻

@MattBruenig @PicardBuddy @a_lost_future @mlipman13 @lydiadepillis That's a useless measure without knowing what the result would have been otherwise.
I might as well assert that, if not for outlawing non-compete agreements, California would be the third largest economy in the world. 🤡

Two striking studies out this week show how noncompete agreements suppress wages.
1. A NBER paper shows that employed workers today are half as likely to receive better outside offers, likely due to rising employer concentration and noncompetes: nber.org/system/files/w…
