@realEstateTrent For most people, yes. Majority of my college friends did it and almost all went one of two routes: stuck with it and are financially secure for life at 40, or ditched it and found something entrepreneurial and had the skills, credibility, and network to make it successful.

@FarazJaka Yeah. I played full time for 2 years during the Moneymaker boom. Much easier games obviously and made great money, but still got burned out. Have enjoyed it a lot more since as a serious hobby / outlet for intellectual sparring.

@BrianLaManna_ They significantly improved my shoulder pain as well

The grandstanding and moralizing by politicians is 100% fake. The damage that their words have on our fellow citizens, our mental health, and on relationships with friends and family, is very real. These are truly evil people.

All creative writing & production has been replaced with [insert X celebrity here]. The only memorable one, despite it being disgusting, was the tongue.

@Austen Its projection of their failures at 40 onto the successes of others at 20

@antoniogm We just lived through governments de-banking their citizens for having opinions about a virus they engineered and the destructive mitigation measures they deployed. I’ll keep my cash, thanks.

@JeffPGwine Solid choice

@skylarromines Convenient. The idea that it’s rude drives me crazy. It’s faster than back and forth over email. And if it’s a senior person, it’s their EA that does it anyway.

@WKamtikar @paulg @EdKrassen Those are actions, not results

@jonatanpallesen The 🐐

We just got unequivocal evidence that taxpayer $ was illegally used to fund gain of function research in Wuhan. Yet the same people who said that refusing to shut down the economy was tantamount to murder, are angry because they dislike the messenger. People are strange, man.

@paulg @EdKrassen Precisely. Notice how no one opposed to shutting down the DoE is able to articulate the ways in which it has materially improved public education outcomes, let alone whether the cost-benefit is justified against the alternatives.

@GiaMMacool My wife and I host a lot of professional social events. Hardly one goes by where someone doesn’t say “my partner does X…and by partner I don’t mean business-related, I mean my [and then uses the word wife, boyfriend, significant other, etc]”.

@wil_da_beast630 It’s happening @enhanced_games

@DuffyEli @nayibbukele Our society is built around individual agency, which necessarily leads to high variance outcomes. To paraphrase Camille Paglia, we have 25% of the world’s prisoners because we have 25% of the world’s most productive people.

@AutismCapital @zerohedge When I lived in SF many of my friends lived in LA. Family in SD. Flying out of SFO sucked. Would’ve loved it for weekend trips — in theory. In practice, it’s CA, so we all know what it will (or may not be even) become.
