new stanford mascot dropped Image
everyone replying "noooooooooooooo this is leftist" is missing my point entirely and/or an idiot child with no institutional memory and no awareness they lack that memory

i think elaborating might help so im going to so that
the social left in america used to love the shit that stanford is aggressively banning. it was in fact basically typified by weird shit that happened on university campuses eg naked dances

did naked dance parties suddenly become right coded, that universities decided to end them
"left" and "right" is shitty and sparse for describing a political space. so you can imagine it being an absolutely gimped axis on which to evaluate absolutely every social dynamic that you ever come across

see point (3) and issues around monocausality Image
have a new goddamn axis for refactoring on me

"racist" and "sexist" are not _reasons_. they are _excuses_ to do what these people have always wanted to do anyway

some people just want to watch the world banned and theyll use any flimsy rationale that people let them get away with

i'm watching the grok4 launch and the production values are terrible

slides are worse than i'd create after getting roped into a presentation with 1h notice

you can tell the engineers made them themselves Image
elon predicting the model will discover new physics within two years. "let that sink in." a long silence. one engineer laughs awkwardly
i want to be clear i love all of you guys at xAI and i want only the best for you

in any sociopolitical system, the degree to and the manner in which power is centralized may be characterized by the structure of patronage networks

these structures are often more revealing about the nature of government than its nominal type

for example
the "kingdom" of france continued continuously for about a millennium depending on how you measure it

but its actual government varied widely

most notably, it transitioned from feudalism to absolute monarchy that occurred under richelieu and at versailles
this transition, made possible first by military developments and the rise of the bourgeoisie, represented a rising king (patron of the bourgeois) among other things destroying the patronage networks of feudal lords and reallocating their clients to himself via state organs

i get it now, this is legit. reddit objects are objects recommended to _entry-level enthusiasts_ by topical subreddits because they work well to improve lives over baseline with a relatively low level of effort for a majority of cases

reddit objects are high ROI!

for example,
r/strength_training reddit object

yeah i know other forums came first but its quintessential

is it right everywhere? does everyone need to be doing squats all the time? does it ignore aesthetics?

who cares! way better than default gym behavior Image
another example. r/malefashionadvice reddit objects for casual and business dress

unfortunately yeah all are not what they used to be and yeah those jeans should be selvedge Image

nearly broke a tooth eating a frozen pizza tonight

wonder how that got baked in Image
ive probably had several hundred frozen pizzas in my life so odds are its safe and economical to continue eating red baron pizzas at $5 a pop
this is good

im gonna mail it back and let them know their part went missing. im sure theyll be happy to be able to replace it

they hate how little it takes for us to be happy
the women all want to kill her

it's beautiful Image

i think maybe the term of art for this is "pickme"? idk

shes minmaxxing and shamelessly trading off homosocial status for heterosexual appeal

my theory is that women who are mad about this arent wrong to be but the specific reason for their anger is that shes a gender traitor

realistically there's no way to stop people from tacitly or explicitly allocating taxes and benefits on the basis of race and large portions of the country have interests in this happening or ideological commitments to doing so

this is just our life now
supreme court rulings arent gonna change anything, no one gives a shit about the law on principle and its easy to obfuscate discrimination to taste

any direct government enforcement will i expect inevitably be straightforwardly politically motivated
the norms to which new immigrants are assimilating and young natives inculcated are immensely ethnically charged without any public and common ideal of transcending race for an american identity, an identity which frankly doesnt even exist anymore
