  • look at headlines occasionally

    No way. If you only look occasionally you have no chance to normalize all the crazy stuff in the previous 12 hours and it all hits you at the same time.

    The news don’t get any less crazy if you don’t look for a while. That recommendation was for the time when 24 hours news had to make shit up to fill their time.




  • The NT kernel was all built to emulate object orientation (read Smalltalk, not C++) style message passing. That’s because it was the 90s, and it’s the new technology kernel.

    So yeah, expect everything to have more flexibility sending data around, and no standardization at all so you can’t have any generic functionality.





  • There’s a really fun discussion of news commentators on the lines of “Nobody is stupider than Trump, Vance will just be better at being evil” and “Nobody is stupider than Vance, Trump is the one keeping everything in place”.

    Reality is probably too weird to predict anyway.

    Idiots tend to have idiot kids because they raised them in idiot households

    Random people are usually way smarter than people give them credit. Idiots are an exception, though I have no idea how hey are distributed.

    and idiots tend to have more kids

    That’s completely unfundamented idea that was created to support some racist movements. One would think that movie made a clear enough point to convince anybody this is bullshit…
