Yeah… I don’t know if they’d care. Honestly, giving myself slack and accepting this as part of who I am right now has been such a life changer for me. The sad part, though, is it limits opportunites for which I might otherwise be a good fit.
Listening to the FT’s podcast Swamp Notes was infuriating. I get who your audience is, but if you’re going to have the guy from the center right think tank on and the establishment technocratic reporter talking with him, at least have some progressive on to defend his views.
The worst part is how they infantalize him and his views.
Your fact posting makes me feel what I imagine people feel like at a revivalist church. Preach on UnderpantsWeevil.
I was showed late to class. The professor and I were cool. He was often late as well.
I got chewed out by someone because I was late and I looked like I didn’t care. That was unforgivable.
I keep running into this problem where I hear about this conservative intellectual and I go to read their work. I know I’m not going to agree with them, but let me find the flaw or where our values diverge in their argument.
When I gloss it, I’ll assume the problem is me when i fail to find that spot. So I do a closer, more serious reading of their work. Still don’t see it. Again. Fail. Again. Fail. Again.fsil.failfsilfisjl.
These “intellectuals” are people who haven’t read widely, haven’t practice developing ideas, and don’t know how to write a structured argument.These fuckers were “STEM” smart from a young age, probably without much effort, got accolades from everyone about how smart they were, and thought the liberal arts were a joke. And honestly, until advanced high school classes, they often are. Because before that age, your brain lacks the skills and data to do it at all.
Their combined rhetorical strength lies in misleading statements, provocations, and hiding their true intent behind mealy mouth pseudo intellectualism. At least Yarvin will come out and say he wants feudalism. Fuck Jordan Peterson in particular. I am worse off for ever having tried to comprehend his thinking. I’m not sure who else sucks in this day and age, but I include Theil, bronze age pervert, and the CEO of Palintar. All, I believe, have advanced degrees in the liberal arts.
This isn’t to say that there aren’t conservatives worth reading and disagreeing with, but the surface is polluted.
Or believe really hard that one day, with enough hard work and gumption, you can be one.
The ancient sages used to chant OHM!
"Starbucks has said Niccol purchased a home in Seattle after starting in September. "
I’m not sure he understands how houses work.
I feel like my life is just a constant mess of putting out one fire after another
This is great preparation for having children.

Why are you using a justice frame? Its definitely not the the frame they are using.
Anglo-Amerocsn Puritanism, thank you very much!
There was one question and answer on the past and future of the Democrats. I don’t expect Inskeep to do a hard hitting interview, but this should not have been the title.
From memory, they talked about:
• his beard and how Republicans do like it
So the one question and answer:
INSKEEP: Let me put a proposition on the table, and we’ll see if you agree with it or not. The country has changed. Politics have changed. Republicans figured that out and captured the moment, and Democrats have failed to do so up to now. Do you agree with that?
BUTTIGIEG: I would mostly agree. Yeah. I think that Democrats have been slow to understand the changes in how people get their information, slow to understand some of the cultural changes that have been happening, and maybe most problematic of all, to attach to a status quo that has been failing us for a long time.
Right now, you’ve got an administration that is burning down so many of the most important institutions that we have in this country, which is wrong. It is also wrong to imagine that we should have just kept everything going along the way it was. And I think that my party needs to do a better job of addressing the fundamental problems that have led people to mistrust everything.
I don’t know what his fundamental analysis is, but how can you not lay a mammoth sized amount of blame at the feet of Democrats since Clinton? I’m sure Mayor Pete will find a way to not look backwards, only forwards.
You can sous vide in silicone bags. You just won’t be able to vacuum seal it, but you can squeeze most of the air out.
Cooking from raw can result in a beautifully delicate interior. The key is to start at a lower temp and then raise it to your normal temp after a certain temp is hit. I did my turkey this way this year all because of this video. In case you don’t know who Chris Young is, he was the science consultant at The Fat Duck, co founder of ChefSteps, inventor of the Joule, and co-author to The Modernist Cookbook.
Embrace some type B parenting. Having a 10 year old, I know it’s tough to get them on board. But then, out of nowhere, he’ll clean the table because something inside him sparked … Or now he’s trying to exercise because of makes him feel strong.
Its okay for you to yell occasionally. Children need to see a range of emotions at certain ages. It reminds them that we are people too.
I wish you well on the parenting journey!
That sucks. And that should have been a conversation with your parents.
