  • RWJ is one of those people who every time I hear of him he’s doing something I would expect from a zoomer tiktok star who’s in their crash out phase and I’m like, yeah makes sense, I guess I only know that guy as a meme lord but then I remember he’s in his late 30s or early 40s and him melting down like he’s 22 and doesn’t know any better is just embarrassing.

    Unfortunately, Elon Musk almost certainly wrote this tweet not knowing or being too high to realize that it was slander (or libel?) and if anything happens it will probably be Elon getting roasted in court.

    Still cool to have Elon get humiliated but Trump is the one who deserves justice handed to him for his ties to Epstein.

    And all the libertarians cry about is how it’s not real free markets and that’s why we don’t have nice trains and public education etc. not understanding that it’s government funding and regulations that’s just barely keeping everything (pun intended) on the rails in the first place.


  • This is how I think of it. I’m not arguing on the Internet to change the person’s mind. I’m arguing to make sure anyone reading the thread in the future doesn’t come away with the impression that the other person’s argument is flawless.

    I’m happy to end an argument by just repeating the facts that the other person is getting wrong. I know their mind isn’t getting changed but I hope that anyone that comes along later will be able to read the thread and clearly understand the logical disconnect the other person’s argument has.

    Especially arguing against someone in certain subcultures like the manosphere, yeesh. Their arguments are so subjective and centered around feelings that often all you can do is point that out and hope someone who comes along later sees that their arguments really make no sense.


  • That’s the key, you don’t tell the company you’re working for that you only plan to stay for a year or two. After you’ve done it twice maybe your resume will start to show a pattern, but at that point you’ve been doing this for 4-6 years, and I can think of plenty of lies to tell corporate that will make for a good excuse.

    As for making more, your progress will definitely be stymied by taking breaks, but you’re not taking breaks in order to advance your career. It’s just a difference in life goals, clearly you value climbing a corporate ladder to increase your salary. Besides, it’s well documented that changing employers is one of the best ways to increase your salary so if your goal is making more money you would want to change jobs every couple of years no matter what.

    Yes, fear is a major factor for why people don’t do risky things for potential rewards.

    As for having a spouse and children or a pre-existing medical condition, you’re correct that only a certain portion of the population is able to do this. We already cut it down to people with something like a STEM degree that are able to do this.

    I mean almost anyone with a stem education is able to do this.

    Before you say: “buh have you seen the job market?”

    The point of the plan isn’t to get stinking rich off of each 1-2 year stint, it’s to make just enough money that you can travel around and reset to nearly 0 after not working for a few months to a year



  • That’s the point of this post. That’s fun for me too. But if you’re living with someone, you’ve found out what their opinion on free will and almost every other deep conversation you could have with them in the first few years. How will it look 15 years later? Either you rehash the same conversation about free will multiple times a day or you wander around the same house in abject silence for months until one of you can think of a good continuation of that 20 year long “what is the meaning of life?” conversation you’ve been having. Instead just learn to small talk, life is long and it’s nice to have the affirmation that a loved one still pays attention to and cares about your day to day.
