  This is every day where I live. It’s madness. Otherwise, the place is paradise. Beautiful area. People are great here. Until you get them into a car. Then they are inattentive, pushy, and unsafe. People die every single year. Kids on bikes get plowed over. It’s insane. At a 4-way intersection, if I stop around the same time as a car to my right I always yield to them according to the “right hand rule” of right-of-way. But everyone else wants to go only by “who reached the line first” and they...

  It’s absolutely true that we have too much focus on pharmaceutical solutions and not enough on general wellness and prevention. But wellness and prevention means exercise and vegetables, not protein bars and woo woo shit about balancing your internal landscape. Fuck this grotesque man.

  That’s a salary of about $200k assuming twice monthly paychecks and a 75% tax rate. This is not at all unusual for tech software engineers, though probably not at the entry level. The entry level is a mess right now in general. [Here’s](https://www.levels.fyi/offer/0b4b6f0c-f23a-4261-9d62-ff60b81c184b?from=recent) a job posting w base salary of $190k, seeking 3 YOE.

  This tweet does not understand the difference between libido and erection. I’m happy for him that he’s so ignorant. I wish the same for all of you, truly. Because erectile dysfunction is when you’re plenty horny but the flag keeps going up and down anyway. ED pills do not make you horny, they help your vascular system direct the blood where it needs to go to keep the flag raised. They _only_ work when you are already aroused. When you take one before date night, you might feel a little flushe...

  Maybe you don’t lose an inch of penis length, but perhaps you do lose an inch of _skin._ But I agree this is stupid because 99.99% of people are going to think “penis length.” This is perhaps the dumbest circumcision awareness sign I’ve seen. And I support the cause.

  I’m a little confused by the opening paragraphs. So the advent of computers was hailed as a great productivity booster, but in the beginning, productivity actually went _down._ Is the article seriously contending that computers have not improved productivity? So there were grandiose expectations of huge boosts that would arrive immediately - so what? That’s naive and dumb. But in the long run, computers found their applications and people figured out how to put them to productive use. The wor...

  I understand and am very burned out about it all myself. But I will never have the audacity to complain out loud that anyone is ruining my escapism as long as people out there are suffering with no chance of escape. We’re bombing the fuck out of 80 million people right now.
