@postoctobrist Can never stop thinking about the J6ers standing in the lobby of the house of Congress not knowing what to do like a broken Bethesda quest. To quite the most important philosopher of our time: "like a dog chasing cars"

@milenkadraws Hey, for what it's worth: this is something almost everyone goes through specifically in uni. You have to push through it because it's the hardest part -- being put into a room of equally talented people and not going insane.

@oncloud_e Highly recommend some variant of amaretti. They feel incredibly fancy and go great with hot drinks kitchensanctuary.com/chewy-amaretti…

@ArtemisConsort These guys absolutely have existed for ages, anyone on a university staff page will attest to that. Now they have a computer encouraging them. Any small amount of psychosis can be escalated.

@shankysanghi @giulio_mattioli While the top one would be fine in the UK, the bottom one is definitely more polite. In fact I'd say this type of thing would be a flag of fluency in British English

@slutttysloth Therapy and time was my experience tbh. It's like unlearning a habit, just gotta recognise what's happening, tell yourself it'll improve and trust that it will

@SusanFairweathe @maxshanly @isaac_kh You understand that practically there is no difference between these two photos right? They are both photos of a dead conference

@_lizharvey I think it's often not so much paying as little as possible but wanting there to be an agreed upon price that they know going in. I know a lot of UK people really struggle with the concept of haggling for that reason, even if they could get a better deal.

@postoctobrist I think this is spot on. Manchester from about 2010 to now is an entirely different city. Started when they moved some of the BBC up there and its never quite got there in becoming london 2, just a pale imitation of the original.

@DuxVult1 @bencsmoke Hey quick question guy with an ai picture and user name referencing the fucking crusades: why do you get to tell us they are decoupled? You can't stand us!

@snowflake_blob @implausibleblog Those things dont follow from each other. Trans women are a sub catagory of women, like old, irish, or gay women. It has nothing to do with carrying a child -- plenty of cis women can't

@postoctobrist Fwiw, I've honestly found the bottleneck with TVs to be my eyes? I don't need an expensive 4k TV what I need is glasses

@WereInHellYT I think about Dan Olson's video about this a lot. It really captures the tail end of the trend and why and how the wheels started falling off. youtube.com/watch?v=4EXVrz…

@WereInHellYT I think at least anecdotally (35) the 2010s were just full of cooking content. I was consuming it and making stuff even as far back as my uni halls in ~2012. I think BA was the culmination of the trend both in how good the videos were, but also the evils of the YT food industry.

@Wookie7777777 @belongingalways @plant_lady1955 @jackmjenkins In a "1 murderer & 1 victim" situation, successful self defense results in 1 death, while a successful death penalty results in 2. Like you can be pro death penalty and argue that that's fine, but at least have your logic straight
