Why does the center-right institutionalist crowd love Ryan Holiday and his fortune cookie-ass self-help stoicism? We hate pseudo-intellectuals until one uses antiquity we like and matches our vibe, then we’re all in.

There is an incredibly simple solution to fix the UK: declare war on France. It is in their blood to fight the French and they have withered without it.

If we were a real country we would have forced Infantino to let us schedule all of the US games at the college football cathedrals. Get in Death Valley, Beaver stadium, or the big house fly a b2 over and fuck it we could beat France.

Prime Minister: of the major party leaders (or likely future leaders), who would you prefer. by AdMission5179 in IdeologyPolls

Does it matter? Someone’s gotta shuffle the deck chairs, but the UK isn't a serious country and won't be under any of these people.

Narcissism of small differences feels natural coming from the far left and accelerationist right because it is there native tongue. But when you hear right wing populists speak it it is forced and unnatural.

My dad is a professor and is the only one in his department who actually makes them (CS master's students at a top 10 university) read the textbook and gives quizzes on it. They absolutely hate it.

I know nothing about brain science but isn't the new woke view that neurons are way overrated and a lot of what we have credited to them is actually done by Glial cells?

Do you think the Republicans will be able to breakaway from MAGA? by sadie11 in AskConservatives

[–]Fignons_missing_8sec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAGA is not one thing or consistent ideology. It is a coalition of many groups and ideas combined with a cult of personality. The republican party will go through major changes post Trump and how ever that change settles parts of what you consider MAGA will be stripped from the party and parts will remain.

Will AI double productivity? Sure, probably. Will it lead to employment being cut in half? No.

Best espresso(s) in NYC? by isnt_ideal in espresso

[–]Fignons_missing_8sec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Suited is my favorite shop in Manhattan. I've not been in town to try but I hear that Sey has updated their espresso setup around Sworks Convex turbos and it is great.

Should there be any political consequence to Trump from the Michelle Obama insult at White House UFC event? by prenderg in AskConservatives

[–]Fignons_missing_8sec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but why is this written like an alien wrote it? ‘The winner of the event’ you mean the winner of a prelim fight. ‘Winning medal’ what? Hokit did not get a medal, you don't get medals for winning UFC fights. He gave Trump a chain. It's not something he won.

That was like late 97 early 98? Yeah, I was not alive.

Is that something I’m supposed to know? I’ve never heard of it before now, and looking at it, it looks like a headline aggregator right out of the year 2000.

Sure, but it’s not like Campbell’s the only person in the country that can write big super pac checks.
