The funniest part of this was Fortnite needing to disable every single emote and action during the MLK speech because people kept throwing tomatoes on the screen

none of you have the right to talk about genetics or what the "limit" is for yourself. You are coping because it would be painful to accept that you are soft. A lazy person wasting time. Unserious.
we are a bunch of monkeys that evolved to live in a world that is nothing like it is today.
You are in a air temp controlled box, with unlimited food and water supply.
You have never and likely will never know what your "genetic" limit is, you will never even get close to finding your limit. Its not the genetics holding you back, its the fact you are on twitter while knowing you should be doing that thing you keep putting off.
You are frying your neurons with constant stimulation and expecting the brain to work properly at improving. i suggest you really take a look inside your self and make sure your brain does not believe it is at or close to hitting some limit it cant go past.
You dont actually want good genetics for aim, you want genetics that would allow you to keep doing all the bad habits you have and still improve at the rate you would if not doing those bad habits.
Because, if it were really your genetics holding you back, surely that must mean you've taken the time to get your sleep consistent? Where its not nerfing you. Surely you exercise, surely your diet is good, but its the genetics, im sure man.

This is from Love on the Spectrum, and the guys on that show had equally ridiculous ideals. Cute thing is whenever they got paired up and really liked each other they always thought the other was really beautiful/handsome.

Notice how she's slowly luring you deeper into her rape den. Her smile and gentle eyes beckon you with a promise of peace and rest. A big, fat lie. Turn around and run. Don't fall for it—I did. And guess what happened? Yep—she raped me. Lesson learned.

basically everything in your personal life should be pre-computed and require ~0 thinking. if you're thinking lots daily outside of work it's more likely that it's a defense (intellectualization/rumination/rationalization) than actual thinking EXCEPT IF (see screenshot)

To add some context for those commenting that banging a “hot chick” like this would be every 14 year olds dream.
You are right. Controversial truth is that many teens who have raging hormones and sexual interests are going to consent and enjoy sex with the interested adult. Especially if she (or he for the girls) is attractive That’s guy or girl. We aren’t talking about an assault by force in these situations.
But that is exactly how “grooming” works. The adult in the situation is using things like sex, validation, gifts, and so on that are pleasurable and inviting to the victim to get the victim into a relationship where they have power over them. And some adult predators are aggressively trying to make this happen, while most are more opportunistic and susceptible of becoming a predator if the situation presents itself.
The problem isn’t so much the short term pleasure. The problem is in the consequences afterwards. I have run into this many times over the years where I am talking to an adult (man or woman) who had a sexual relationship with an older adult as a pre-teen or teen. In almost every case the teen “wanted it” and often times in the case of the girls had a crush on the older person and had somewhat tried to seduce the adult into it.
The consequences of these relationships are almost always bad, and sometimes catastrophically bad for the teen. We know it’s that way for the girls, but no one ever talks about how it can be horrific for the guys too.
The guys often have mental and emotional difficulties and struggle in healthy relationships as adults because of how the grooming affected their development and sexual and emotional responses. And a significant number of these boy teens end up taking their own lives, or turning to addiction.
So saying “man I wish I had a hot lady try to bang me when I was a kid” is missing the other side. I remember when I was a teen and I would have loved to have been in a high intensity sexual relationship with any attractive woman, especially some fully developed hot 20 something chick. It actually almost happened to me. But I am glad it didn’t. And you should be glad too.
And you should probably stop considering kids who went through this as “lucky,” because that framing is how people end up sounding like they need their devices checked.
She groomed and raped a 14 year old kid she met as his therapist in a juvenile detention center, and continued to bang him until he was 17.
We talk about the 50-100 teachers who make the news each year. But there are 1000’s of women in other professions or who just happen to live in the neighborhood raping teens too. And no one will ever know about them.

If possible, I try to rent to tenants with bumper stickers like these. Not only are they old enough that most of them have stable careers, but they’re also used to being walked all over and they often are afraid to stand up for themselves.

Peter Thiel gets a lot right, but boy did he nail it when he said the wordcels would actually be better off than the math and science bros due to AI.
The underlying reason for this is the structure of language reveals and amplifies human preferences, whereas science and maths are verifiable domains searching for the truth.
It really doesn't matter what GPT-10 can do, I will still shitpost because I like to post, and if you enjoy my worldview you will still enjoy reading it.
Sure, GPT-10 will be capable of superpersuasion and genuinely insane insights, but it will not have the weights of my own neural network, so it doesn't matter.
It's the same reason that I don't like asking an AI to summarise anything... To summarise something you need to know what my personal mental model of the world would think of the text/video being consumed.
And since uploaded intelligence doesn't exist yet you can only do a very crude approximation of that. Even when continual learning comes online it will still be but a blunt simulation of my mind rather than my mind itself.
Worth remembering this. Anything that relates to human preferences will be amplified due to AI as people seek the compliment.
