"Wouldn't" is a word that does not belong in that headline

One of Hicks' most brilliantly succinct and profound bits.

Lots of hard work to spy on Kenya

Same'ish. I went back to college when I was 29. Everything about that experience was awesome and I got more than I wanted out of it. I had total control over what my educational path was going to be and I took it super seriously.

I think we do better because we understand what college actually is and the world in which it exists. We use advisors as exactly that, advise and consent. Some kids out of high school just do whatever their advisors tell them to. Older people going to college are far more likely to know exactly what they want after having thought long and hard about it and are more willing to put sincere conscious effort into making it happen. Whereas some young people just "want a degree" or just "want a job." It's almost sad how little thought or effort some kids put into college. This set of differences makes us better students and gives us a higher likelihood of changing our long term trajectory so we don't end up in /r/antiwork or whatever is going on with kids these days.

I am very passionate about going back to school.

Wow fuck that site you uploaded to

This is like a codified form of self delusion.

Maybe your negative thoughts are right

I thought about this a lot. I wrote a really long response and deleted it before submitting. Because I kept having a problem with the premise of "sad." Like, what is and is not "sad music"? I mean, I guess we can disqualify most fast tempo music, right? Like, good luck finding a 200bpm sad song ... nobody can cry that fast. Four on the floor is also not something I would associate with holding back tears. So I feel compelled to consider this even further as I listen to a lot of slower / downtempo stuff.

Slower music automatically brings with it a higher likelihood of being "sad" but its not necessarily sad. Like a lot of the ambient stuff I listen to is not so much sad as it is ...something. I don't know what it is. It's evocative. But evocative of what? I definitely feel something. But what am I feeling? Like when I listen to Haelos' Full Circle album. Or Max Million's Afterimages album. What the fuck am I feeling? It's not sad. I'm not crying (usually). Portishead isn't sad. Right? So what is sad music?

And that leads me back around. Do I even listen to sad music? Or do I just listen to slow music that is generally evocative? I definitely have a good set of slow seductive sexy-time music. Oddly I think a lot of that is in the same ballpark as "sad" music. But should I even be in this thread? Now I don't even know what emotions I feel. Thanks a lot.

I would definitely buy a lot of these as individuals. I'd love a shirt with a bowling ball chasing a pin centered on it. That's fucking hilarious.

EDIT: Would I be a dick if I just made my own? Heh.

You guys are really pushing the envelope of hard hitting journalism, giving your viewers the news they need to be better informed throughout their day.

Fuckin jackasses.

She's gunna be really upset when she finds out unicorns aren't real.

Imagine following your dream and winding up in fucking Scotland.

Arg, always someone else with the same comment by the time I find the thread. Take my upvote ya jerk.

Well if we give a shit at all about being right specifically, not just generally... Deficit by year:

Accuracy matters, otherwise you're not helping. You're one of those people where a lot of us end up in a position of "I agree with your overall point but I fucking hate the way you made it"

Not a good person to be, imo.

A better version of that general argument would be to simply ask why deficits rose during his speakership. Should also lump in 2015 at $442B and 2019 at $984B, to make the point even more obvious. You could, of course, make a very concrete form of that argument by laying out the premises that he is both a fiscal conservative as well as acknowledges directly himself that he wielded a tremendous amount of power. But we're not exactly interviewing him, so that's a bit unnecesary.

Well, to be fair this is a subreddit that is largely devoted to things that are unrealistic and will never actually happen because of that gosh darn "reality"

The current state of crypto in general is opposite of its goals. Because the natural tendency of any complex system is to centralize, and here we are. 4 Mining pools control ~70% of bitcoin hashrate. Proof of Stake just codifies this inevitability for Ethereum.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Crypto is fucking DUMB.

Should have included me in this. I've got a system.
