@pmddomingos You already did by causing this mess and walking away from it.

Europe needs to reopen the Strait of Hormuz way more than America does, but refuses to help America do it. And Europe is within range of Iran's missiles, unlike America, but refuses to help America get rid of them. Maybe it's time to abandon Europe to its fate.

your could ask AI to help you brainstorm ideas for novels or you could do it the old fashioned way: long walks, post it notes, dreams, daydreams, conversations with other writers, staring at the wall, free-writing, visual arts, meditating, lots of reading, & living a full life.

@joethomsett I’d rather take over a government and have people like you enslaved

Cortez, with 500 men, subdued and destroyed an empire of millions. Pizarro had 168 men to conquer the Incas. A few good men with the will to act are worth more than entire races, cultures and religions of conservatives who believe nothing is or should be possible.

@Bushra1Shaikh Hardly a surprise given the constant flip flopping and outbursts of the current leader

I've been informed - off the record - Europe planning for a future with reduced American security guarantees, driven by increased perceptions of the U.S. as an unreliable ally.
Boom 💥

@karunpal Sounds like bliss.
Do you ever feel compelled to do more than that?
Ever?

I live a slow life. A life unbothered by anything. I wake up. Make a coffee. Listen to the birds. Go for a walk. Work at my desk for a few hours. Read Tolstoy (War & peace). Eat a simple lunch. Listen to some classical music. I'm at peace. I'm a simple man. That's all I want.

I'm looking for a tidbit of clarity:
Why is America at war with Iran?!

@lessdumb_dev Unmatched intellectual heritage, absolutely. But unfortunately, existentialism doesn't lower your cloud compute costs or train a 100B parameter model.

@sflorimm @lessdumb_dev bro Europe literally formalized the math your 100B model runs on, Turing was British, the transformer architecture came out of Google Zürich, and DeepMind sits in London but sure existentialism is the takeaway here lmao

@krassenstein At the moment he's the boy who cried wolf and even his biggest fans are getting fed up with him.
I liked some, not all, of what he has tried to do before this.
But this is tedious and looks deranged and the delivery increasingly lacks class.

TRUMP: “The world respects us right now more than they have ever respected us before.”
- France: closes airspace to our military
- Italy: closes their airbase to our military
- Spain: closes their bases to our military
- Poland: refuses to provide missile batteries to us.
Trump doesn’t understand what respect means.

If an ally pokes a bear and smashes infrastructure to your detriment, without briefing you, for their gain, are they an ally in that moment?
Good faith question...

@DavidD_Chapman Europe has been around forever and will be around for years to come.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Withdraw from NATO and withdraw all US troops from US bases in Europe and see how many days it takes Russia to conquer Europe.

@EdLatimore Digital removed friction
But it was the friction that made a life
We used to call them events 😂

The community of media events.
-Folks went to movies and talked about them.
-Albums were an event.
-Playing video games with your friends was in an person social event.
-We all watched something at the same time or just missed it/waited for reruns.
Streaming everything is convenient, but it removed an automatic piece of social cohesion.

Not the best place for deep work, but if the topic is fascinating to you then noise fades the to background

i tried working from a coffee shop today instead of my office & it was impossible to get anything done.
i was constantly distracted by one thing or another, from sounds to ppl moving around etc.
it’s unclear to me how anyone is able to be productive working from a coffee shop.
