It's funny because I always heard that the rich preferred perfumes over bathing, and looked down on peasants for their bathing, especially public baths.

No source. It's just what I heard. Even if it's true, who knows what era and people it applied to.

I have a sense memory of the mouth feel of these things but not like a memory memory. I think they're firm and granular-y... and mostly tasteless

What happened with Taylor Swift and airplanes? Is this a super bowl thing?

Parallel means poopie

That right there is a silly billy and cutie p'tootie for real

Me too, smeg

“We’ve replaced some pieces of that political machine—specifically, we have parallel media now with Elon’s Twitter, or X,” crowed Tan during a presentation at the 2023 Network State Conference. “Getting a parallel media was a key piece, and it wasn’t through voting. It was done by building.… [...]

Got it so parallel means privatised. He's a privatisation hawk.

What a tool. A cat would not even sit on his lap.

CEOs like this are aiming to indirectly rule/control others with their money

It breaks their little heads that they can have all this money and power, and yet still a random poor person has the legal right to say "no" to them.

They don't understand why the state doesn't work 100% just for them.

So they should definitely strike.

Ah, argument from nature. Word to the wise: I used to find that fallacy compelling too, until I realized I with picking and choosing which parts of "nature" sounded right to me.

It's not a good pillar for reason. It's another misty ideology, that only obscures your sources.

Indeed

Did someone say "preorder?" Where do I sign up?? Is this the right queue? Literally standing here with my credit card, please just tell me

Lol let them

Yeah actually this is it for me

Lately it's been beans and toast? Weird, but I look forward to it. Can't eat tooo many beans ofc, for social reasons, so that's why it feels like a treat

I'm with you, I thought it came off as decidedly anti-China. I was actually surprised they got away with it!

It was a box with a big x in relief yeah

Now if Sony and Nintendo will just return the favour... That would be so great!

Agree with the article (and the 10 other ones I've already read on the topic) but Paul Graham's website looks like ass on mobile as of 2024. I couldn't even figure out how to get to the content, at least on cursory examination.

Good point about solo/team or simple/scalable though. Right tool for the job and all that. Good stuff

I mean I think Israel is a terrorist state, but this is pretty damning. Doesn't give them the right to take over land that isn't theirs of course.
