- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 3 days ago:
I try to pick up artists from younger coworkers. That’s how I learned about 100 Gecs. Saw them live. We were the olds. Skipped PinkPantheress cause it felt like we’d be too olds.

Holy shit, just reading about surviving in the arctic made my head spin.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 4 days ago:
There is shareholder value in workers who come from e.g., a caste system, but there is also a significant risk to shareholder value when too many levels of decision-making are sent to places where that mindset is common.
Very interesting. Can you give examples of how this became an issue?
- Comment on What a clown 4 days ago:
Same. But then the delay made the thing funnier when I landed on it.
- Comment on iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air 4 days ago:
No, but the metric is performance at that power-draw. And I don’t know that it’s the best there, even. But I’m excited for what it means for the future of my platform (MacOS).
- Comment on iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air 4 days ago:
Accidentally replied in the wrong spot.
I posted more because I’m happy about the chip performance gains. That it’s in an iPad is interesting, but I’m excited for the Mac.

This has nothing to do with the poverty inflicted on them as a tax for overthrowing their white ruling class, I promise.

- Comment on Using Ubuntu may give off a hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect. 4 days ago:
I was a CentOS-man for a number of years. But Linux is for servers and hobby projects in this house. MacOS is my primary driver. Still mad at IBM / Red Hat.

- Comment on I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality? 6 days ago:
“… with shit,” was the full title. Not joking.
- Comment on Poll: Around 25% of young people in the lowest-income households feel “people like me don’t have much of a chance in life” 6 days ago:
Not surprised. The dream is dead. Late-stage capitalism is a nightmare for around half of society and the bottom is gonna keep getting lower.
- Comment on Language 6 days ago:
It’s an interesting problem. If you don’t have the language to articulate what you’re feeling, how well can you understand it? I don’t mean that you wouldn’t feel it otherwise, just how effectively can you process it without going into a rage and bonking your peers.

This isn’t mine, but I was reminded of it:
Five requests with regard to my eventual death September 10, 2021
-
If it happens that my death occurred in some public place, there is to be no ersatz memorial created on that location comprised of teddy bears, mylar balloons, or terrible poems written on posterboard in pink Magic Marker™. This is very, very important.
-
If you choose to have any kind of service “memorializing” me, there will be no use of the phrase “looking down on us.”
-
At no time is any outraged friend or family member to appear in public looking indignant and holding up a framed photograph of me.
-
If you refer to anything I’ve ever done as “brave,” “courageous,” or “special,” I will personally come back from the grave and shit angry ghost turds in your coffee pot.
-
If the resources exist and the weather is fine, I’d prefer to have my remains torn asunder by vicious dogs while “Tusk” is performed by an enthusiastic high school marching band.

In 2014, the Brigade’s soldiers and armored vehicles took part in the Russian invasion to Donbas and where are the time stationed near Luhansk airport.
Can’t get decent copy-editing anymore. Pretty sure autocorrect screwed up what was to say and were at the time….
- Comment on How the US Is Destroying Young People’s Future | Scott Galloway | TED 1 week ago:
The most maddening aspect is how obvious the lies were about WMDs. I literally could not believe that shit was flying until it hit me in the face.
- Comment on May 13, 1985 1 week ago:
We were taught about the Trail of Tears when I was a kid. Is it no longer taught? Wait, I got transferred to a private school in fifth grade. That might be where it came up.
