And a potentially terminal case of assholism.

…And add it twenty other places.

If the current crop of billionaires have taught us nothing else, at least they’ve taught us that.

^Damnit

First, my gripe was with the numerological - i.e. superstitious - underpinnings of these kinds of shenanigans, which I think you’ll find is taken more seriously in China, and thus your characterization of “people having a little fun” is somewhat misleading. People actually believe in this stuff having actual meaning, you know? They don’t (all) think it’s just “for fun”. Second, notice my wording: “another little sliver” should have made it clear that I don’t think this contributes more than a small incremental amount to my final conclusion, hence I obviously do not think the “whole species should die for it (this).”

In fact, I don’t think the whole species should die for anything. You make it sound like I’m advocating for an genocidal extermination campaign or something, as opposed to saying we’re often acting in stupid and counter-productive ways that decreases our collective ability to survive, which is what I actually meant. I’m talking about a passive stochastic effect of collective behavior, and not at all limited to this specific instance of it either. It shouldn’t be controversial to say the acting foolishly increases the odds of a foolish outcome.

While I can see how you could get the impression you did, it is the absolutely most uncharitable interpretation of my words. Could you maybe chill out a little bit?

I suppose that’s one way to interpret what I wrote.

No, I really don’t think I d- Oh! You meant the Lady. Well, that’s her business.

He’d best hope the work those hands ends up doing isn’t pulling him by the hair to the scaffold.

Additionally, auto-tune and trappy beats can go get fucked.

Every day I lose another little sliver of faith that we collectively deserve to survive as a species.

Maybe a little bit of judgement for shoving a smartphone in your gob instead of just drinking from the bottle like a normal alcoholic… At least it wasn’t landscape orientation.

Steve Bannon, Jeffrey Epstein’s PR guru who knowingly helped distract from the child-rape and trafficking? That Steve Bannon?

That’s… most unfortunate. I’ve yet to work in any place where that wouldn’t have been grounds for immediate dismissal.

The man cannot spell and clearly doesn’t understand punctuation or basic grammar. One of his claims of intellectual brilliance rests on having bought a calculator from TI. Why is it that these self-proclaimed übermenschen always seem to be barely treading water down in the polluted end of the gene-pool? Is it coincidence or overcompensation for their inferiority-complex and raging impostor syndrome? I know which I’d bet money on, if I had any.

Sounds more like you’re looking for Sessions than Projects. Have a look at the Sessions menu.

Hold the door if someone is right behind you.

Unless you’re entering a secure location, in which case don’t.

Would anybody be around to notice if it was?
