So what are you saying here? That there are no such thing as psychopaths? There's never been a human with an outsize negative effect on society? Your moralizing tone doesn't make you any more convincing.
I'm a borderline pacifist that abhors violence. But if you disagree with my assertion you are either a teenager with too little life experience or willfully ignorant.

To be more specific that's probably the longest you should monologue before getting some sort of audience interaction

Make the infodumps about a topic she really enjoys, or deliver it well. It's a performance, and you have to do them thousands of times over a marriage to keep each other entertained.
If she can't handle a 45-second rant about the Kardashev scale, I'd consider that a yellow flag of contempt.

Frankly if you don't know a couple different animals wearing human skin that should be put down, you probably don't know enough about people.
Who can really solve this problem? Many of these psychopaths figure out ways to fit in the crevices of society where the state can't or won't get to them. Ticking time bombs.
I'm all for giving kids a fair shake, but once you get into the double digits IMO I haven't seen a freak like this change their stripes.

I think women are dynamic enough that you keep pursuing as many women as you can reasonably allocate the time to do so.
The 10 most attractive in other words may be bad lays (way common than you'd think), annoying, etc. The probability that the best overall woman is in the "Bottom" 40 is high. It's your minor league farm team.

I have to say I agree with you here. So many people have been trained that any violence - even in self defense - is verboten. It's a core tenant of public schooling.
Even if they do shock themselves into realizing they're in danger they don't go far enough and lose anyway. I know it first-hand!

We'll solve P = NP before we figure out how to get whites to defend each other against racial violence happening right in front of their fucking faces.

What, your wheels were in the crosswalk zone while you were in the road? On what fucking planet is that a justification for someone kicking you off your bike?
A lot of discussion about who wins in racial fights downthread. I've probably seen more interracial fights than most. Numbers and viciousness are the biggest factors in who wins. Honestly man, this has very little to do with HBD and more to do with black people hating you. You're in a city where racial animus is a way of life. Many of your fellow Baltimoreans want an excuse to hurt you (especially if they have numbers on their side), so act accordingly.

A little over halfway through Cryptonomicon. Very, very enjoyable so far.

The only piece of advice I'll give is that 10 heat settings are plenty to me on the induction cooktop I've used. Maybe it has 20? (half steps for each digit).
I can't stand radiant heat cooktops anymore after using induction. They're so slow, so stupid. The only reason I'm putting up with it at home right now is I may move in the next 6 months.

I think people are being a little hard on this question. While it's true that self confidence and lowering the importance of what people think of you is important, a $1-4k investment to be more attractive is appealing.
Very rarely do we get to trade money for this. You have to go to the gym and work hard, eat like a rabbit, study for hours, and master the art of conversation over a lifetime to "be more attractive". Just because other men don't take the shortcut doesn't mean you can't.
I'd echo other concerns about how it would look long term far more than "perceived vanity".

Man everyone down on nose studs and belly button piercings is intense. I think both are absurdly attractive, even if very slut-signaled.
The rest of it I could do without

I've been feeling this vibe lately. Humanoid Robots, Starship, and LLMs are the three things that make this feel more like the future than it ever has.
We are SO CLOSE. To being multiplanetary, interacting with computers that pass the turing test for 95% of the population, and finally being able to own a golden retriever without having to sweep every single day.
But it all seems to be hanging on the edge of a knife. Our governments are so obscenely powerful, people are so scared and stupid, weapons continue to become so much more lethal.
At the end of the day I'm just in wait and see mode. Whatever happens happens. I didn't grow powerful enough to meaningfully affect the outcome in time I don't think, so might as well worry about what I can control.

I personally knew well 2 people who died of it who really shouldn't have had any obvious comorbidmities. I have a massive social network though - the number of people I know who died of it are far lower than the official stats would suggest.

Obviously I'd look to optimize anywhere before sorting by size. Location, time procrastinated, value. After that I'd tend to do an opener small then move to big. There's a higher chance of something going wrong, and the remedy being combinable with a small task. Classic example is a repair that needs a part: hardware store is adjacent to grocery.
In a vacuum with zero bearing in reality, big first always. Suffering is easier to start with.

Someone mentioned TJs PB cups and they're insanely good.
Assuming some mass produced shit (not a homemade cookie) the runner up right now is Skittles Sour Gummies. Whatever Frankenstein concoction of psychotic food science flavoring is in the traditional candies made it intact into this spinoff. Instead of sandpaper citric acid crystals shaving your tongue to a pulp like the OGs, they're perfectly chewy, and so easy to eat on long bike rides when the rest of you is exhausted. The worst part is trying not to eat them when you haven't earned the calories.

Anyone who thinks "For the articles" is just a joke may not have picked up an issue. My neighbor gifted me a huge swath when he retired. The porn is fine - some of it even crosses into "good" - but 80% of the magazine is interviews, short stories, letters, and politics.
I'd pay for a subscription today if it still existed.

Knowing what little we do about your side hustle, I think you're fine.
Paying for API access can be valuable if you have a lot of data you want to curate/generate. Imagine you are selling 10k items and want to take the specs + reviews to make better descriptions or something.
That's it though, you won't get much better quality from another model or benefit out of building your own rig. Yet.

Just replying to point out this is an insightful take, thanks for making it.

Anyone answering this question should consider the middle of the bell curve. Of course, at the extremes, men are typically going to have an edge, but on average, what are women better at?
There are other silly minimizations: EX: Better Handwriting "just because of small hands". It doesn't matter what the source of the advantage is; the discussion is whether or not it's there. Men are only faster sprinters because of their skeleton and muscles anyway.
Finally, dismissing women's ability to be primarily responsible for creating and sustaining life is cope. Just because they need sperm to get to that point doesn't diminish the power of it at all. A single dude can be milked to provide the biological matter for hundreds of women. It's clear they've had to make significant physiological and social compromises to have this ability, but it's obviously a huge fucking deal. Maybe I'm simping because it's mother's day, but still.

MTG and in-person gaming is always going to be less "damaging" than vidyas. I strongly disagree with the other comment here about that. Especially if you're getting them exposed at 7, they'll get over the insane excitement phase before the most important part of their development, and you still have a huge amount of control over when they play (What are they gonna do? Drive themselves to FNM and invest in a $300 booster box? I think MTG sucks compared to 10 years ago but whatever.
Another point for it over modern video games is they're all completely devoid of a social element. Every single one is locked down for no cross-gamer communication. To me this is a point against them - yes you're developing hand-eye coordination and problem solving, but you're doing so in isolation.
I'm a couple of years behind you, but my plan is to replay co-op games with my kids to start and give them single player games to get into. Once they're older I may open up the floodgates for multiplayer stuff, but probably I'll have them scratch that itch with MTG and board. We'll see!

I'm thankful to the Somali family for shutting down the NAACP's grifting fundraiser as quickly as they did.
One thing to note that I believe is true - the NAACP's fundraiser used this incident as an issue, but the funding was just for them. None of it was going to the family, so I'm not sure they lost anything by turning it down.
Honestly at this point if someone started a crowdfunding thing for me - whatever it was - and it tipped over probably around $50k I would not turn it down. I wouldn't care if it was people doing it to send a signal or whatever. I just can't believe this many people are stupid enough to donate. Being part of a CW flashpoint basically means people win the lottery, which is completely unfair. 90% of the people involved somehow turn out to be pieces of shit!

I did soylent for a bit, always found the original flavor ("Pancake Batter") to be my favorite. Would unflavored/sweetened be the closest there?
Did you replace real food with it?

Despite it being such a loaded term, smaller harems can be pretty functional for people in their pre-kid life. I think women (people?) are generally much more comfortable with this sort of arrangement than most expect.
In my (admittedly most extreme) example we're literally talking about people who start by murdering, raping, and robbing other people their whole lives.
Then they have more children, addled by drugs from birth and neglect from the jump. Who kick things off by consuming vast quantities of resources from families that adopt them. The exact same problems, but geometrically multiplied for each generation. And they're fast too, because getting knocked up the first at 16 means more meth quicker.
These are rare examples, yes. Fractions of a percent. But to repeat: it's not a morally superior stance to look at the rivers of blood and treasure consumed by tiny fractions of society, then to just throw up your hands and say "oops, guess we can't fix it!". It's the absolute worst version of the tragedy of the commons.
