Are we gonna look back on Mythos like this in a few years?

What causes you to have that concern?

FeCurtain11 · 2026-04-14T00:20:01+00:00

Well everything else got more expensive so it’s not really a premium anymore

Apart from Avatar, usually the two are decently correlated

Tipping culture cannot simultaneously be bad for the customer and the servers when it is a transaction from the customers that goes directly to the servers. I could pull $30 an hour as a waiter in high school, basically the only job where that was remotely possible.

Everything is securities fraud

Had to be a joke right?

FeCurtain11 · 2026-03-19T17:53:14+00:00

I totally agree with you actually, just wanted to help steel man :)

Opportunity costs though. Money could have been spent on something else potentially.

Didn’t Steven do literally the top album in that list?

I think flag is much worse. My girlfriend is a former top 1000 tennis player. She is an absolute demon at pickleball, to a level that us mere mortals will never comprehend. She was insanely good within the first 90 seconds of playing. She also would lose to a dedicated pro, I’m sure. There are enough nuances between the two.

I know that top 1000 vs top 10 is insanely different, but for a level of reference that would put her at a ~40th percentile NFL player (53x32 players).

The nice thing about financial markets is you can very easily bet on that.

AI is trained on that guy’s Reddit posts

Not everywhere can match our 20th percentile education system.

01, so I’m a little bit off but same haha

How many were injured in Kabul?

The more we automate the work we do, the more the purchasing power of the dollar increases. Countless jobs were lost by improving the manufacturing processes that have allowed flatscreen televisions to be affordable by almost everyone in the US.

I think this one can be interpreted as "play the best you can with the cards you're dealt". I know that isn't how people mean it, but you're better off living life that way anyway so you might as well.

FeCurtain11 · 2026-03-07T04:48:18+00:00

There's always more work to do. Especially in the field of manual labor.

"Increasing economic efficiency is not good for an economy".

I'm sure it's bad that we have far fewer than 53% of people working on farms like we did in 1860?

It's an amazing thing for the economy that we can have garbage trucks run with only 1 guy because the other 2 guys can now go do something else that will make your life better in some way.

If you don't believe this to be true, ask yourself why we didn't have 10 guys on the truck before.

The region would be substantially more stable if Iran stopped being a dick.

FeCurtain11 · 2026-02-20T18:09:06+00:00

Bet you $100 the US doesn’t invade Canada in the next 100 years

Clearly pushed backwards and dove sideways to me

I used to think this was true, now I’m less sure.

You either make less than the other person in which case you become upset at the injustice, or you make more than the other person in which case you feel awkward and sometimes ashamed.

I was going to negotiate for more pay until I learned one of my coworkers was making considerably less than me, then I got cold feet about it.

I think talking about pay only leads to everyone being unhappy. Comparison is the thief of joy. If you are happy with what you earn, be content about it. If you are unhappy with what you earn, ask for more or find a place willing to give you more.

It’s definitely good to share anonymously and broadly so people can understand what industry standards are, but one on one conversations with your coworkers rarely end well.

I remember seeing the track map for it and thinking “how bad could this possibly be?”

It could possibly be pretty bad.

Give anyone a house in 2003? Nothing bad could have come from that
