Rico

There could be principled objections to Harris and her policies. Could be. I haven’t really seen that, though. Most of what I’ve witnessed has just been misogyny and racism.

Personally, I think she’s slightly better than Obama. Which is not great. But is like a ray of heavenly light compared to Trump and Vance. And since Bezos decided to bend the knee to Trump, no way in hell I’m voting for that ticket (as if I needed another reason to not vote for a senile declining old rapist).

Tankies

Our equipment mostly rocks the mic like a vandal, no matter what some leftist doofbags claim. Yeah, sure, the T-64 is a great tank if you like your whole army dying in like 0.02 seconds when hit with an RPG or a brisk wind.

If there had been a shooting war during the Cold War, we would’ve tore up the USSR’s shit like a cat with roll of toilet paper. And unfortunately we might yet get that chance in 2030 or so.

Vio

EVERY fucking woman alive should read this, especially the ones who demand that men intervene in situations or public harassment. You don’t know what the fuck you are asking for. I have intervened is such situations and all times but a couple it’s been a fight. Luckily, I have never gotten shot though I got hit so hard in the side of the head one time that I felt it for weeks after.

For claiming to know so much about men (they don’t), women are utterly goddamn clueless in this area. Just laughably stupid with only a few exceptions. And the guy is exactly right. I’m strong, I’m fast and I have no problem with violence. Without a taser or something, though, there is no chance I can restrain most guys. I basically have to try as hard as I can to kill them before they kill me. That’s the way it is in reality. And that is true of guys even a lot bigger than I am. Women do not understand how strong even average guys are. There is a reason even large police officers need 3-4 of them together to restrain even scrawny-ass rednecks. It’s not because the police officers are weak. It’s because it’s very, very hard to restrain a full-grown male who is angry and not afraid to fuck you up if you give him even a free hand.

In other words, if I were Daniel Penny I probably would’ve killed that dude too. One of the reasons I do not ride public transit is because I do not want to put myself in such situations where it is likely I’d need to take someone out.

Sorry, women, but all of that is true. And if you can’t read that thread leave a comment and I’ll send you the whole thing in PDF form. You all need to understand this.

End Civ

Anyone who seriously believes there are 50 million people in the US with Long Covid or the Long Covid incidence rate is 20% all I have to say is…LOL. Alrighty then.

Remember, the Covidians were the ones who claimed Long Covid would end civilization and that not having years-long lockdowns would cause GDP to crater. Don’t see those claims much anymore, do ya?

The reality is that Covid is just another meh coronavirus that has the distinction of being released from a lab after a few mods that allowed it to infect humans more readily. Other than its origin, it’s pretty normal and the Long Covid rate defined sanely is in line with other similar post-viral sequelae.

Too Much POWAH

None of you can understand the power of a fully-loaded browser context menu:

And yes, I use all of those. Too bad dumbass Mozilla took away the easy ability to edit and re-order all of that, because I really fucking need that capability. All of you are weak and puny in the face of what I could do with the right tools.

So of course Mozilla had to limit people like me. We were just too powerful.

Mind the Gap Gap

The Bradford nurse who married train driver who saved her life.

Great story, but Gen Z would see this as “sus” and harassment as a man talked to a strange woman in public. And there is an age gap.

Therefore, in their minds, he should have just let her off herself. To avoid any appearance of impropriety of course.

Lord, if I were single I’d date a 23-year-old just to piss those clowns off. And so I could drink her blood to rejuvenate myself1.

  1. That blood part is intended to be funny, cuz no one can tell anymore.

Career advice: find your superpower, if you have one, and capitalize on that. To be fair, that only works for a few. Mine is understanding and making use of complex information very, very quickly.

Failing that, the best strategy to pursue (I stole this from somewhere, but forget the origin) is to be okay to good in several disparate but related areas. Most of your peers won’t take the time and effort to do this and instead they’ll only be competent in one small area. This makes them limited. Even though I do in fact have a superpower, I’ve relied more on this “many skills” strategy as it’s more beneficial in my specific field. For instance apart from my technical skills I am good at these things, all of which I am not a “natural” at (that is, I had to learn them from scratch):

  • How to talk to executives and management in terms they understand
  • Good social skills, especially as it relates to the norms of the corporate world
  • Ability to distill information so the less competent/technical can act on it
  • Understanding how a business works
  • Negotiation of conflicting parties
  • Various regulatory and compliance regimes and how they apply to business
  • Perception management for me and my team
  • Learning how to prioritize what matters to execs
  • How to write a decent business analysis

And learning none of this to a “good enough” level requires being a genius! Just perseverance. That’s the advantage of the latter strategy — it just takes some determination. It’s like working out in that if you devote a couple of extra hours a week to acquiring 3-4 of the above you’ll be far ahead of your competition. Anyone can do it if they want to and I can guarantee it’ll benefit them.

This is exactly what I did and it’s why I am where I am.
