I appreciate how Ventrue abilities in the vampire game are, as benefits the management vampires, all about getting someone else to do combat for you.

just a total abdication of the notion that being in position of power should carry with it any responsibility at all. all that matters is your personal #brand and #journey
Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

I think that the longstanding trauma of this moment is going to be that many people in their 20-30s rn in not-quite-elite circles are going to be intensely small c conservative for a long time and have something of a hair-trigger for anything that smells of populism for the rest of their days
honestly i think you could probably describe the vast majority of American media, political, and corporate elites as decadent

I'm developing a kind of cosmopolitan-chauvinism, I guess you could call it anti-feudalism, as a through line in my politics. The peasant-brained and the local landed gentry are the enemy. Sort of funny that this could describe being either rabidly capitalist or communist.

The unit cost of each Hellfire missile is ~$100k btw. That not even taking into account at all the expense of flying the mission, the pay of operators, fuel, etc etc. That’s why this is so degrading: it is for nothing. Nothing at all. They are so many more Robert Sanchez’s than there are Hellfires.
By the way this is why I know they’re lying when they say they knew who was on the boats and they’re all on a military list. The US military had somehow built a dossier on Robert Sanchez, the boat pilot living in a cinderblock house and earning $100 a month? He was next on the kill list after Osama?
Everyone seems to have forgotten but the AP actually went to Venezuela and found some of these men. They aren’t terminator-like cartel warriors, ready to give their life to ship kilos. They’re random dudes from small towns - bus drivers, fishermen - recruited for a payday. apnews.com/article/trum...

You don’t ’need therapy’, you need a tall woman who does the rituals. Someone 6’2 doing The Graven Dance would fix you.

my most parochial take is that a lot of national dysfunction and elite pathologies genuinely do primarily spring from roots in the SF Bay Area. like why do so many tech sector types have such insane opinions about the efficacy of the govt?

underlying problem with a lot of pop culture and society generally is that people stopped believing that duty is a real thing
Man, remember when star trek knew it was a show about adults in the navy doing their duty as best they could see how, through a deep sense of devotion to cause and morality

I'm definitely getting negatively polarized into being pro-gondola. it's not like an essential transit or housing project but it's private money, it would be cool, it's not hurting anyone and is a large portion of this is literally because *it goes over a non-profit's headquarters*
The coalition of LA residents who oppose the Dodger Stadium gondola shut down the Metro board of directors meeting Thursday.
They forced the meeting into recess and demanded that officials at minimum allow public discussion on the project. This is a developing story.

There is an intense pro-enforcing laws turn on the left, and it's good. The Third Reconstruction will require a strong hand and an iron will and a heart hardened against the screeching of fascist traitors that they deserve mercy.

jfc, yeah you gotta send someone to jail for this. the thing that separates a military from a large gang is that you don't do shit like this.
NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

I think this is fair, but also think that there's another more positive path as well. once people get used to being passengers rather than drivers, things that matter for drivers start mattering less, eg: bike lanes, parking, etc.
I'm vaguely pro-Waymo, but it's a drag that society hasn't accounted for a number of externalities (traffic, free parking, underfunded transit) that will probably get worse once the human labor of driving goes away.

Major in something you actually like and are interested in, minor in whichever of stats, Econ, or some kind computer touching is easiest for you.
I think a lot of "learn to code" people thought high salaries for programmers were a permanent feature of the world rather than the result of unusual circumstances around supply and demand in the labor market. Over last 20 years, CS went from a niche college major to the most popular major in the US
New CS grads are making less than I made as an accounting graduate straight out of college a decade ago, and I don’t mean inflation adjusted, I mean nominally.

getting kinda negatively polarized on self driving (waymo, not Tesla) bans. they do cost
like the technology clearly works and is viable for at least intra-city transit, at a certain point the distracted, drunk, et. driving deaths are in fact actively on the people seeking to delay it's deployment

The actual legacy IP product that I want is a show set in The Matrix about a ship that does not contain the one, does none of the prophecy shit. Just an ordinary ship of the line, doing its part to wage a lonely war in two realities against the machines.
