@swarley75042565 You people live in bizarro world, I had 40 lays under my belt before I left roommates at 29, even brought chicks to my moms house. Stop sitting on your lard ass “thinking about culture” as your bio says and into the weight room. Signed a 33 yr old fart
English
another aspect old farts don’t acknowledge is that to get a date you’ve got to have a nice apartment, drive a nice car, be well traveled, dress well, have opinions on expensive restaurants, go to cocktail bars, etc.
no one is dating a loser saving 80% of his take home

re: frugality discourse, I made less than $70K post college, packed lunches, had roommates for 8 years in order to save lots of money. Then I bought land and built a house with savings. The anti-avocado toast boomers were 100% right. People are *completely* against tradfeoffs.

@thechosenberg He does have a point, there’s an institutional imperative now to ensure that we never again experience a prolonged bear market, paper wealth is driving consumption at the margin and is the only thing preventing more Mamdani types from gaining ground across the country
English
@irbezek My feeling is that Amodei, Musk etc don’t actually believe that narrative but they need to keep it going long enough to raise more $ and the stock to retail….we’re about to get Rosie the robot and if you miss the train you’re getting left behind…btw I need another $30 billion

AI is a useful tool that will boost productivity for many particular uses and applications.
It's not going to lead to AGI anytime soon, and that's quite alright. There is massive overinvestment in AI now which will lead to hundreds of billions of writedowns. But this happens with most new technologies.
The people uniformly opposing all AI development will look foolish in 10-20 years. But all-in AI proponents presenting it as "we will eliminate average peoples' jobs in order to raise profit margins for the billionaire class" literally couldn't have come up with a worse sales pitch.

@ColonizerBird @Achilleudes You have it all wrong. Stop trying to be cute and clever on the apps, and instead segue the convo toward meeting within 5-10 messages. Talking is the female frame, the more you talk the more you shoot yourself in the foot. Be a man of action
English
@valuechad @Achilleudes You can’t even get to the date part. It just consists of making a fool of yourself to stand out from the dozens of people in her DMs, and keep her dopamine fried brain attentive long enough to get that far
English
„Dating“ ist auch ein Demütigungsritual für junge Männer. Es gibt wenig zu gewinnen und viel zu verlieren.

@BVitterbe88816 @Achilleudes Well in that case I guess I do get an opinion, I am in my 30s, before my current gf I was mostly dating Gen Z girls. But keep thinking you know everything. Some people are so far behind in a race they actually believe they’re leading!
English
@valuechad @Achilleudes If you are under 40 you don't get an opinion man. I'm sorry but the internet has changed social customs so much that you simply have no wisdom or advice to offer. Women simply do not behave the way they did in ye olden days when you were young.
English
@zn5719888520537 @Achilleudes The sex is assumed, I call it dating because I’m a classy guy
English
@valuechad @Achilleudes Oh it's fun. Sex that is. 'Dating"?' not required for that.

@GeorgeMayer What do the 70,000 people who work at $meta do all day? By all accounts most are just getting in the way. Seems to me that zuck is reasserting control of a headcount that grew 7x in the final years of Sandbergs reign
English
I think part of the theory was that it would be a win/win, a test of mettle. But it’s been like this for so many years that’s it’s shedding top folks too and many of the remaining aren’t trying to do their best work, they’re trying to keep their jobs.

@LionBlogosphere No it’s because they spent years of planning, the 250th is mostly looking like a few half assed events slapped together at the last minute
English
Back in 1976, people celebrated the Bicentennial because they loved America, even though inflation was sky-high and the President (Ford) was some guy that nobody had voted for.
A celebration like this won't happen this year. Nobody loves America anymore.

That's a pretty good way to snag a wealthy husband.
If I were a hot girl looking for a rich husband, I'd apply for nanny jobs. Then in the interviews, I would focus on the wife, and choose the one who's the biggest bitch.
Then I move in, care for the kids, act sweet and submissive, and let nature take its course.
Duke Herndon@DukeHerndon
If you’ve ever looked into hiring a nanny, the algo will lovingly bombard you with non-stop nubile and available sitters

@BeardSports @Mephitus_Skunk In my single days I found dating to be incredibly stimulating both physically and emotionally, nothing beats the rush of going out to meet a hot chick that you may or may not get to bang later
English
@Mephitus_Skunk ROI? Jesus Christ. Y'all are clowns. Just enjoy getting to know someone.
English
Hot take: No, this is in fact not thrilling. It's a pain in the ass and a humiliation ritual for most guys. And every year women make the prospect more and more risky while lowering the ROI for even trying.
“Bad” Billy Pratt@KILLTOPARTY
This is actually the best part of dating as a man. The thrill of the hunt.

@NoelWieder Cmon man if you’re gonna lift Alice Schroeders words verbatim at least give her credit

If you ever feel like no one believes in you, think of Walter Schloss for a moment.
He started working for Graham in 1946.
Years before Buffett.
He worked there for almost a decade.
And yet it was the 14-years-younger Warren Buffett whom Graham saw as his protégé.
Who, together with his wife, got regularly invited to dinners with Graham and Newman.
Schloss was never invited to events like this.
He had been written off as a journeyman employee who would never rise to be a partner.
But instead of letting that discourage him, Schloss started his own partnership in 1955.
He ran it on simple Graham principles, and beat the S&P by 6% a year. For 47 years.
A $1,000 investment made with Schloss in 1955 would be worth over $1 million in 2002. After fees.
So regardless of how he was seen, Schloss's results spoke for themselves.
The same goes for your returns.
They don't depend on the recognition of others. They depend on the work you put in every day.

@Blind__Luck You’re like the teacher that we ribbed for hating fun in first grade…we would literally scream the word FUUUNNN whenever she walked into the room.
Dating should be FUN ..for Christs sake it’s not an interview for a “partner” like she’s joining your law firm
English
Too many people on dating apps want to be enertained
Instead of finding a partner to build a life with

@Waterhort @shagbark_hick I booked accomodations in DC for July 4 but I’m likely going to cancel, and this is a major reason why. The bipartisan commission tasked with overseeing the 250th has by all accounts devolved into a clusterfuck of fighting with Trump, the programming looks pretty weak so far
English
@shagbark_hick It is odd, esp. considering Trump and MAGA types seemingly making a big deal earlier of how great it was going to be. Beginning to think it'll be as cheap and poorly thought through as many of Trump's branding efforts
English
Something tells me we're not going to have this kind of energy for America's 250th.
You'd think by now I'd be seeing "250" everywhere but I honestly do not see it anywhere.
I mean this is a quarter-millennium here. You'd think we'd be exceedingly hyped already?

@WestsideLAGuy Trades for thee but not for me. Looking forward to paying $200,000 a year for my future kid

Elite colleges will INCREASE in prestige as AI commoditizes technical knowledge. Along with looks, pedigree cannot be replicated by AI.
Rich people telling people to not go to college is a strategy to diminish competition for their kids.
Jordan McGillis@jordanmcgillis
I can't shake this video. We've been hearing "peak college" for a decade, but I sense that the status machine is cranking harder than ever. Social media has taken what had been a local peer competition (think: Rory Gilmore and Paris Geller) and turned it into something much more national (these high school seniors). And it's not just the high-ambition kids. Over on the professional-networking-site-that-must-not-be-named, Gen Xers are clout-mining their sons' and daughters' admissions letters and graduation photos like never before.
English
@OnodaCapital It’s a giant bubble that relies on the greater fool theory for continued finance, therefore Amodei and the rest need to create this perception that we’re about to get Rosie the robot, which is obviously absurd
English
This is gonna get so much worse
It’s an industry led by historically unpopular people, loudly saying everyone will lose their jobs, during a plutocratic corrupt time
Ron DeSantis@RonDeSantis

@atelicinvest Why as a commencement speaker would you talk about AI at a graduation, that’s a bit like talking about a couples inevitable physical decay and death at their wedding…very weird and kills the vibe
English
why are ppl booing AI at commencement speeches and opposing data centers? I don't get it.

@MisterBimms @ScottMGreer Tell me you don’t read without telling me
English
@ScottMGreer Blockbuster is obsolete.
But let’s be honest:
So are music record stores, and even libraries.
Libraries are very wonderful to browse around in… but there is no real reason for them to continue existing.
English
If Blockbuster returned, it would immediately fail.
People don't want to hop in their car, be stuck in traffic, walk around a store filled with strangers, face limited options in film rentals, and then have their film checked out by a blue-haired service worker when they can stream whatever they want from their couch.
Wanting Blockbuster to RETVRN is all about wishing you were a kid again, not about re-creating a great experience for people.
Paul Anleitner@PaulAnleitner
If Pizza Hut can return, then we can resurrect Blockbuster. And we should. While Netflix made things more “convenient” we lost something irreplaceable: The ritual of going to a place with your family or friends to choose a story together. That experience was special.

@_endlesslake You must remember that she’s talking about Chad, because the very concept of the average male who gets zero matches doesn’t even enter into her brain. In the former case there’s probably some truth to the statement but in general it’s a very silly statement

Name one woman in the last 40 years who would take this advice
Jessica Pin@jess_ann_pin
If you can’t find a woman who meets your standards for a relationship within a reasonable time of looking — say 6 months — then you have unrealistic standards and need to lower them.
