  3. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@Jacek11523128 @ESYudkowsky Which is?
  4. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@pmarca https://t.co/WqmtYfh8Vq
  5. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@bmock "I am disabled, communicate with me" ... Lol, could use this one too
  6. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@bmock Lol, more like maneuvering with difficulty through life.... Like the Cozy Cap but in flag form
  7. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@varunramg @sheslostheplot Lol what? Are they beautiful or not?
  8. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@bmock Lol, I gotta go with "I am maneuvering with difficulty"
  9. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic Ahhh- I think this may be the root of your "accumulate money to get a woman" pov- you're not normie- much easier for you to earn, much harder for you to charm
  10. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl Lol, I'm convinced by the "likes odd people" line... Who else would cultivate a band of Schizo reply-guys?
  11. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · repostRT @_PeterRyan: i must live a certain way https://t.co/Q67kRYDjri
  12. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @gfodor @tszzl @powerbottomdad1 Lol, that was supposed to be a hint 😘
  13. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · quote@gfodor @tszzl @RokoMijic @powerbottomdad1 https://x.com/as_per_ushe/status/1490499738675863553 another possibility 😜
  14. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@gfodor @tszzl @RokoMijic @powerbottomdad1 I mean, Roko makes me laugh all the time, so...
  15. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky I'm surprised you of all people aren't interested in neurodiversity and understanding how brains do what they do- interesting convos about aphantasia, dyslexia, inner voices
  16. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@vgr 🤣 fair enough... No geek thirst traps from vgr!
  17. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @Conaw @ITBeHa @tszzl Money itself is useless though- it's just undifferentiated "access to available resources" ... In a crisis I'd rather have an off-grid home with garden and orchard.
  18. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@vgr Pics of cable treasure box? 🙏
  19. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · postSentence of the day: "No one wants to be defined by their spoil heaps." -- Islands of Abandonment https://t.co/HkeI01U9pz
  20. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · repostRT @redoatz: light show in my pants as i take off fleece over wool in the dark
  21. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl Did you mention that you're the originator, or did you stand in the corner thinking "they don't know I started this whole mess..."?
  22. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@SRtwofourfour Our neighborhood is so vibrant! 😏
  23. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · repostRT @SRtwofourfour: There’s a man with a sheet for a cape walking shirtless down #columbiapike singing “wrecking ball” with a shopping baske…
  24. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@TheoNewton15 @RokoMijic @tszzl They'll still have their geeky charm! And relatively good pay of a tech job in another city with lower cost of living
  25. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@sheepmainstreet @tszzl This whole pandemic narrative arc has given me zoochosis- too much lounging around and my Twitter feed out of boredom.
  26. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@sheepmainstreet @tszzl If so I wanna lodge a complaint about my enrichment program!
  27. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @tszzl Yes? If chasing women were a priority they'd take an easy job in a cheaper city with more single women.
  28. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@vgr Ooo I'd love to follow your construction story! Sure to be some tales of woe (+ time = comedy) ... Though everything is more expensive these days and skilled labor in short supply
  29. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @tszzl They have better things to do than chase women? Plus gender imbalance in SF.
  30. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl Fake anger to gain concessions like free museum tickets or compensatory payment or access to this tech for our own use or something?
  31. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @tszzl Ugh please don't! Geeky awkward guys are 💯 perfect as-is
  32. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@sevatar___ @tszzl @atroyn Imo it's a little more nuanced than that- rotators can come into their own when there are enough resources so the masses are quiescent and the wordcel elite spend their time on petty infighting and gridlock.
  33. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@Nexuist @varunramg Still would be catastrophic in the meantime- chips in everything these days... And our dysfunctional govt is clearly not up to the task of orchestrating best use of limited resources to bootstrap us back asap.
  34. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@Nexuist @varunramg I doubt we'd truly lose everything.... Lotta Faraday cages in certain sectors iykwim.. And underground telco bunkers where I'm sure they keep spare equipment shielded from attack for use in rapid restoration of service.
  35. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@_PeterRyan @varunramg From you or Varun? Bec he's gonna wanna keep me happy if he's planning to mooch off my prepper cabin 😜
  36. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@varunramg Lol, idk about that, but had def been researching how to have a working PV system after EMP... Even small amt of electricity makes life so much easier!
  37. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@varunramg @_PeterRyan Lol, where in space? Not orbiting Earth bec you'd be more exposed to a flare ...?
  38. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@varunramg Lol yeah... Also my cabin happens to be near an underground telco bunker which is vaguely described to be for disaster continuity / recovery- these places exist, they just don't talk about them much.
  39. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@varunramg I mean if we can someday, great- esp because some flares are too big to mitigate, but in the meantime...
  40. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@varunramg Yeah... Idk about "preventing" so much as hardening and planning for recovery. I do think we have more capabilities than is publicized, bec dual-use w EMP attacks.
  41. Feb 6, 2022Twitter · reply@ionlazer Ha me too... Maybe we need a groupchat during IGC2C space for us lowbies to share our rants 😜
  42. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@liminal_warmth Lol- promising theory for why Twitter Spaces sucks ...
  43. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@ahabs_migraines @infinitesets_ @eigenrobot @horsepundit wealthy parents just pay cash, but maybe middle class? 🤔 But it's also an ROI problem, the higher debts often pay for lucrative degrees... The worst ROI is ppl who don't graduate, which skews towards poorer backgrounds
  44. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@ahabs_migraines @infinitesets_ @eigenrobot @horsepundit And I do feel like the college thing is buyer beware, because I know so many people who chose debt-free lower-prestige options because they looked at the loans and said "no thanks". AdTech has fucked up our democracy for everyone, which is a far worse offense imo.
  45. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@ahabs_migraines @infinitesets_ @eigenrobot @horsepundit Otoh, adtech is used to market different financial products to different market segments, so the rich see better offers & products that are hidden from the poor... Including private student loans & refinancing them.
  46. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@ahabs_migraines @infinitesets_ @eigenrobot @horsepundit Lol, I'm not here to defend elite college nonsense- dropped out of HS and did community college myself- and think college board is a crappy tech shop and wouldn't work there for selfish reasons... But I don't see how working for an AdTech company like Google is any better?
  47. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@ahabs_migraines @infinitesets_ @eigenrobot @horsepundit Lol you gotta understand, in the DC area there are so many DoD/intel/DHS jobs, anything else seems relatively harmless and appealing
  48. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@infinitesets_ @ahabs_migraines @eigenrobot @horsepundit Lol there's some severe dysfunction in their UX shop- coworkers implemented an app for them some yrs back, were deeply ashamed of the UX & graphic design handed down for them to build
  49. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@eigenrobot @GStargave sign some financial contracts -> click "accept terms" and get access to funds previously limited to accredited investors 😏
  50. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@chaosprime @losingcontrol23 Yep ... Though I sometimes wonder if that's just because abuse is so shockingly common?
  51. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@__frye I'd take any snack food brand tbh https://t.co/McHhoElZ3Q
  52. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · quote🤤 the dream... (Fond childhood memories of time in the utility room at our family business) https://x.com/StevenTDennis/status/1490151393981833216
  53. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@space_colonist Ohh sorry that was ambiguous- I mean her reaction- team 24 hr time all the way (military family).
  54. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@MaryJolley18 @phl43 Yes- majority of cases & deaths are in Africa, and in Africa it was truckers having mostly heterosexual sex that spread HIV from West African zoonotic origin. Ofc I'm not sure how that relates to Canadian truckers today...
  55. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@space_colonist That's a dealbreaker in my book 😨
  56. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@meteor_cultist Aw I want my downvote! And I want it as public as my "likes"- would only downvote for "strong disagree and that's a horrible thing to say" tweets. I'm sure Twitter algo can adjust how seriously they take a DV according to the downvoter's stats.
  57. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@shiraeis 💕😢 💕 it really is like losing your best friend... I'm so sorry
  58. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@sun_girlxo 🤣 another pua-simp loudly signaling his low reading comprehension and poor taste (drive-by insults are not effective "negging")
  59. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@losingcontrol23 I really don't understand how crypto is overflowing with capital, claims to be about opening tech to "the people" and distributed ownership, and yet isn't funding writers to draft quality doc that would open up the ecosystem.
  60. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@losingcontrol23 Exactly! It is frustrating because I do think there are seeds of the future hidden in the mountains of bullshit, but who has the patience to find them?
  61. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@losingcontrol23 (like, wtfm before you tell me to rtfm ... And if you can't figure out how to contribute a doc PR, btfo with the "<Idiotic name> solves this")
  62. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@losingcontrol23 And when you go to rtfm you find a bunch of broken links and unimplemented proposals... Hypesters should be required to get a doc PR accepted for every Tweeted link they share.
  63. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@gfodor Everybro Rogan's mannerisms are nails-on-chalkboard annoying to my ears... And yet I like his curiosity and willingness to listen to kooky guests for several hours apiece.
  64. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @logic_denier: ‘farmers’ are artisanal energy harvesters
  65. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@tszzl 🤣 some people are bent out of shape over Bezos asking for a DC auditorium to be named after Toni Morrison... https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/02/04/mlk-library-jeff-bezos-toni-morrison/
  66. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @tszzl: @powerbottomdad1 yeah im not even talking about elon in this case, several ppl were accusing me of simping for pmarca. like bruh…
  67. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@TFDark @jbarro Arlington, where our picayune local govt committees, commissions, and public opinion surveys for urban planning are so all-consuming that they crowd out the national stuff. Protected bike lanes vs bus transit hub, casual parks vs sports fields, monarch milkweed vs tree grove.
  68. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@PhilippMarkolin 🤣 no I really appreciate the article- particularly the part about how human brains are adapted to survive in an info-poor environment. Ties in with Biophilic Hypothesis and my personal interest in promoting mental health programs in parks and gardens.
  69. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · post"emotional outrage, fights with the outgroup and opportunities for identity signaling are tried and proved recipes to create the very engaging content that is rewarded by the algorithms." 😏 https://t.co/9RvilQBQzL

  71. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @MasterTimBlais: Did You Know: everyone who refers to "the gc" is talking about a single super cool group chat that all your friends ar…
  72. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@DistractedAnna @Kirsten3531 We all know the real reason the tower fell was wordcel PMs out-arguing their rotator structural engineers on a mid-construction design change to enlarge the windows in their future offices. Also typical wordcel PR move to label the collapse an unforeseeable act of God 😏
  73. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · quoteMost useful thing I've read today https://x.com/marcedwards/status/1490092218329141248
  74. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@Noahpinion @realchrisrufo Tree of Knowledge solves this
  75. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @MegaBasedChad: How is there no quality research on reaching Ballmer's peak.... @slatestarcodex Can you fix this?
  76. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply(for context- I didn't pay because it's a billing error and imo I don't owe them... But arguing about medical bills is so unpleasant, after my first attempt I decided to just ignore further bills)
  77. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · post🤭🤭🤣 ... Sometimes "ignore it and it'll go away" works! https://t.co/4PkQQKIXNp
  78. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @airandspace: #TDIH in 1974: Mariner 10 reached Venus and returned the first close-up photo of the planet. This image was taken using an…
  79. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @Thinkwert: If it is too cold for you, it’s too cold for them. Bring them inside. https://t.co/zv9jFr9W4y
  80. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@takes_mediocre (more relevantly, decentralized execution & storage is different than decentralized governance & labor- but I'd be uneasy about utter reliance on a codebase & platform without some amt of the latter)
  81. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@takes_mediocre Sure, creating something new is diff than maintaining & improving a platform that powers such a large ecosystem & chunk of the economy while benefitting from a large network effect.
  82. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · postIt still confuses me how crypto sells itself as decentralized, permissionless, resilient, an ethos of no one person / corp controls the platform... and yet people speak as if Vitalik is solely responsible for delivering Eth 2.0, fixing the scaling problems and lowering fees 🤷‍♀️
  83. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@Noahpinion https://t.co/LkGGe6g1io
  84. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @divine_economy: insane that it’s still not consensual what we receive into our wallet, especially when there are massive consequences f…
  85. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@logic_denier Idk depends- visiting an old fave can be a lot of fun together... I'll go to Air & Space Annex anytime with anyone 💕
  86. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @nikesharora: That's the future. We rely on human pattern recognition across small sample sets. Don't think shortage aversion, think mor…
  87. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Oh and the urge to wander and explore- I've walked all over DC, others tend to book flights- surprising number of manic episodes end halfway around the world from home.
  88. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @TheCaptain_Nemo: in the land of the wordcel, the storyteller is king https://t.co/drGjEZO5OB
  89. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Yeah so true- I kinda feel like bipolar would be perfect during a famine or natural disaster. No need to sleep, not as hungry, driven charismatic creative problem solving...
  90. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @redoatz: it makes me feel better to think about how different forms of neurodiversity may have been an evolutionary advantage in the pa…

  92. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · postBecause ice cream 🍦
  93. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · repostRT @waitbutwhy: Needle and thread under a microscope https://t.co/GxZdbP2ulE
  94. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@aeyokay @m_downey @Aella_Girl If all equal odds of survival w treatment and without, then go beyond immediate survival to who has better long term prospects... Which may be the unvaxxed, then suicide (7% of attemptees later die of suicide), then heart failure.
  95. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@aeyokay @m_downey @Aella_Girl I agree it may not be practical, but I figured this was an ethics question because it is also impossible to somehow not affect non-covid patients.
  96. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@aeyokay @m_downey @Aella_Girl It says "when there's not enough space". Some covid patients end up needing lung transplants... Active smoker and HIV+ are not eligible for transplant. Working backwards, if all else is equal you should prefer to treat the patient who would be eligible if it comes to that.
  97. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl I chose yes/yes because I do think vax status is a relevant factor in the decision, giving priority by who's odds of live vs die are most improved by treatment. But this calc could go either way if unvaxxed are more likely to fall into this category.
  98. Feb 5, 2022Twitter · reply@aeyokay @m_downey @Aella_Girl We very much do when it comes to transplants- a situation where we've been forced to build a rationing system because there aren't enough organs to go around.
  99. Feb 4, 2022Twitter · repostRT @Probably_Brian: https://www.sonnenzimmer.com/product-page/carrier-shell https://t.co/Hac6uu7Gwk
  100. Feb 4, 2022Twitter · reply@telmudic The dream 💕
