I live near Section 8 housing and from what I can tell all the mothers are already stay-at-home. Stay-in-the-front-yard, even, when the weather is nice.

Well, socialists believe those rich people are absconding with resources that don't belong to them. It's not just some demand that people near and far must all conform.

Cofnas was hoping to win over the credentialed progressives, avoiding the populist right. It was imperative. That seems further away than ever now, to say the least. Though many more of them are aware of his existence. That's like, a necessary first step.

As Cofnas put it in his interview with Benjamin Boyce, did Cambridge really expect Arday to not be found out for 31 more years? (Up until retirement age.)
The answer appears to be absolutely, yes.

I can never prove it but I suspect that obsession with Epstein and everyone around him getting a comeuppance has more do with the plebs not being invited to the party. So f**k em all, ya know? And let Zeus, who demands a modicum or respect for even beggars, sort 'em out. (Yes I just Odyssey last night.)

Yes. But you can skim. To simply get the jizz-t.
It should have been an obsolete business even in 2010, but a few gooner boomers with disposable income were willing to pay for us to chop up a movie gleaned from a DVD into separate scenes for their consumption.

The guy that hired me would not just get AI to do it, and he wouldn't include these tangential irrelevances. Point is my human randomness was able to get in. But no longer.

In 2010 I had a job writing brief scene descriptions for a porn company. Three sentences maximum. I was a political science major so couldn't help but slip in totally irrelevant references to Sandinistas or whatever after getting the basics - blonde, threesome, etc. - out of the way. My boss didn't seem to care. I guess it made no difference to the, er, bottom line.
Now AI can do that and it will surely be without my idiosyncratic approach.

I interned at Independent Institute back in 2008. I figure if I'd gone to graduate school and made more of a go at writing papers I might today be working there.

Wow. And I was just making the claim that, actually, Anthropic's ads are just positive and all about productivity hacks: https://x.com/DainFitzgerald/status/2070990676792394180

I desire freedom. I desire the ability to walk my clean streets in safety. I want my neighbors to look and act like me,
It's almost as if the cliche of conservatives being enamored extreme conformity is correct. I thought Stepford Wives and Invasion of the Body Snatchers were hyperbolic and insulting notions of what conservatives want. Maybe not?

Isn't women's "base" instinct to not sleep around, and to want a relationship? That's what evolution tells us. Wanting to live like a man is the more difficult thing for a woman to do, as it goes against their nature (i.e. base instincts).

A majority of the single young women seem to enjoy going out a few times per month and find a new person to have sex with. The one pushing for a relationship is usually the man.
How could women's nature have changed SO quickly? It was nearly a hundred percent the other way around just twenty years ago.

Smartphones have made sitting in traffic or waiting at the DMV for 2 hours much more tolerable. I wonder sometimes if more progress would have been made on these workaday inconveniences if smart phones hadn't been invented.

I don't care how many times someone asks me if I want to eat pieces of shit for breakfast. I'd say no every time.

Murphy's "it just feels in my gut wrong" isn't going to cut it. It can supplement it though. And you say "pretended to be doing," but it's just weak empiricism, not a total absence. It's cursory and vaguely suggestive, which counts for something. Scattershot qualitative impressions are in a similar boat.

Lots of the creativity of the 70s came out of super-cheap housing in cities and a dole system that didn't ask too many questions,
Maybe you're talking past each other. The other commenter is talking about singularly spectacular artists, whereas what you mention here cultivates "scenes" and creative group endeavors.

But Murphy came with no empirical evidence whatsoever. And there was more to the discussion than that.
Ah ok, so that encompasses way more than Aella. But who? If Aella is Jem/Barbie, who are the Holograms/the Rockers?
