Because Elon wouldn't let me mute '韓国' ['Korea'], those inexorable bastards have charmed me from a staunch anti-Korean bigot ["there is such a thing as too much neuroticism!" "hangul is unwieldy and ugly!" "you think Backrooms was a tourism ad!"] to a white Korean nationalist.

There are lots of inspirational accounts that conclude with the message "you can kill someone, but not their ideals."
The assassination of Yizhtak Rabin is proof you can. The current Israeli gov is stuffed full of people who literally called for his assassination

Not saying that the other Dan Sullivan thing isn't a dishonest and shady thing, but, um, didn't we all know that this is what was going on there?
It's a bit like when random Greens and Libertarians get suspicious amounts of funding.

My friend made a really impressive app. It's live and has users. He has no idea where it's hosted.

Posts like this make me think of this play, where after an apocalypse, survivors entertain each other by retelling the Cape Feare episode of The Simpsons, which changes over generations into myth.
Almost the entire world now lives under a 'vague retelling' of American identity.
And none of the founding fathers had a sense of direction ..... they were under the impression that they had reached India

The claim confuses the Founding Fathers (late 18th century) with Christopher Columbus (1492). Europeans realized by the early 1500s that the Americas were a new continent, not near India or Asia, though the term "Indian" for Native Americans persisted as a misnomer.

맥도날드 할머니라고 매일 영신문을 읽고 영어 불어에 능통한 엘리트 출신 유명 노숙인도 있었다. 주번 여러 도움의 손길에도 도통 응하지 않았지만, 어느 백인여성과 영어로 소통하며 그에게만 순응하여 간접적으로 도움을 줄 수 있었다고 한다. 이런 이야기를 보고 있노라면 가슴이 싸늘해진다.

Important to note that the French terror informed the American Revolution too. Republican clubs reconceived themselves as “Jacobin Clubs”, threatening Washington’s head & burning effigies of John Jay in the streets of Philadelphia

I took a machining class before switching majors and the teacher literally said "there's no point to learning this they pay the same as McDonald's"
It's been a long time since I've encountered an epistemic trainwreck that was as painful to experience as that last sentence. The utter *whiplash* may be one of a kind.

humanized livers, *failed to induce insulin resistance*, and concluded "well, I guess we have to stick to studying human obesity in mice with regular mouse livers".
