Hypernikáō. πραΰς. μολὼν λαβέ. 無心の心. “There is no shame in honest poverty so long as one has a plan to escape it.” Just think robo-vacuums are neat.

@DC_Draino I did WFH for 6 years. Entire department of 400 did. Worked well, very satisfying. Returning to office adds nothing to our productivity, as everyone still communicates same teleconferencing way whether across the desk or across the country … just with added waste of travel.

@lillcrawf But somehow he’s to blame about discussing what fascinates him while you refused to profess the same interest, until you could insult him with the connection instead of sharing it. Shameful.

@LokiJulianus It’s very much tribalism: we are their designated enemy; cognitive dissonance explains everything their theory of mind, which the hive mind imputes, fails to explain. Given they think in discriminatory terms, they project racism/sexism/hate/etc as their theory of us.

@ofreacharound @bog_beef Have you ever been to a college engineering department? . Way back when, I remember getting a note from MIT encouraging me to apply. Everyone was dressed like a geek with their pants on backward, walking down the infinite corridor staring at their shoes. I couldn’t get out of.

@scrumble_eggs @hostiledesign What’s the problem?. The alternative is … one apartment. 24 people wouldn’t have a $320 option. Not like he can build more units, which would be >>>$320. Urban space is limited. Either get creative with what’s available, or move out of the city - it’s just too expensive there.

@undecyn @KBearthur @orthodox_luke @MedWhiteAcolyte Exactly. Men are born with the tools for coping with being a man; women aren’t (and vice versa). Men are built to cope with profound levels of:.- loneliness.- expendability.- physical brutality. “Women can, and better!” No. Stop. Don’t trivialize this. It would break you.

@JuniperFolly @MorlockP @rasputinboneym Knew a German in college. She was puzzled: people would ask “how are you?”, she’d answer at length, they’d look at her funny and wander off. Took a while for her to realize it was a greeting, not an actual request for information.

@GavinNewsom "too many Californians left to live on our streets.". Au contraire: CA has made "homelessness" a viable lifestyle choice. Funding all basic needs, tolerating tents & sleeping any/everywhere, good weather, and otherwise not giving anyone reason to _not_ live on streets.

@thembercleav @AkotaBird “how much do you think the overhead cost for making these things is?”. About $9000/hr. Combine all the labor, consumables, power, insurance, capital, marketing, management, etc costs. 3 of them is about $10 (“work one hour”). 3000 made per hour. $9000/hr is reasonable.

@KrisB_Brown >99.99% of guns are never used to harm. The few that are, are predominantly abused by one narrow demographic we’re not allowed to talk about. “More gun dealers than McDonald’s”.Imagine how many McDonald’s there’d be if the only way you could buy meat was by being a restaurant.

@TammyDuckworth "Weapons of war" are EXACTLY what the 2nd Amendment protects ownership of. Of late, 🇺🇦 & 🇷🇺 show why citizens be armed well and be familiar therewith: when called up, only crummy weapons and no time for training remain. Purchase of an M4 should be 100% refundable tax credit.

@RandomBunnyTalk No, they absolutely had the best modern weapons in mind. They used (when they could) high tech rifles against British muskets. The “letters of Marque” clause presumed privately owned battleships. The point was to defeat enemies, not limit to archaic arms in an advancing world.

If state leaders decide, considering current politics, neither gets an Electoral majority. Without majority, US House decides - 1 vote per state. Trump wins that.
