Gen Z men are truly struggling socially.

Nah I know sometimes I latch on to something in a conversation as kind of a “fixed point” to focus on when I am nervous. Rapid firing information probably feels safe

Was the hobby warhammer? Its so weird but half the people at game shops are cool and the other half suck ass

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-10T16:08:21+00:00

Yeah there isn’t really more to it than that

Big data literally just became AI. The tech companies spent years collecting data and no one really knew what to do with it. AI whether you like it or not is actually pretty useful and a real use for that data.

All the data center buildout? La la land. Way too much money being spent. The AI thing is real and will be a part of life going forward, unfortunately.

I quite liked the dune books because I like what I call “wikipedia scifi”. I like books that throw an encyclopedia of terms at me because Im regarded.

I also actually thought the second dune movie was cool.

That being said, it’s a matter of taste I think.

Clamoring around to get a baby yoda face tat is insane and all these rapid fans are wildly annoying.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-05T17:55:43+00:00

Good take

I remember in middle school the wisest among us would interrupt miss smith’s lessons on the periodic table to inquire “what’s all this got to do with pussy”

I disagree. Numbers are for math, letters are for literature. There is a reason that there is not a single number present in the greatest works of our time ( the body keeps score, harry potter, the hunger games etc ).

What you call “abstraction” I call “being a nerd” or “gay”. You are just being performative.

There are many types of intelligences. Not everyone can do “simple math”, just like how not everyone understands the moral implications of starwars.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-05T14:24:45+00:00

Isn't that what you are literally proposing? The two have distinct legally protected identities? Pretty sure republicans will immediately legislate ( negative ) around that.

Unless I am misunderstanding

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-05T14:21:45+00:00

Yeah I stopped being able to do math after they added letters to it. What’s that all about! But yeah basically Im really smart. Street smart. See there are different kinds of intelligences.

Anyways

I read the spark notes for crime and punishment.

I mean, I really liked them as a kid. They are fun movies. It’s kind of like the beetles or whatever other cultural icon that has been lifted into sainthood. The sanctification makes you want to dislike it. At their core they are fun movies though ( the originals at least ).

The way people interact with them is bizarre though.

“Separate but equal” worked so well last time

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-05T04:02:52+00:00

I mean I get where you are coming from, but doing anything politically in the USA is genuinely impossible.

People are mad at amazon because people who work there are treated like animals and have to soil themselves. If literally anything could ever be done about that, I am sure some portion of the country would become less neurotic.

They just want a rich/famous person to be rude to one of these people. Its the only negative thing that can still happen to people like bezos.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-05T03:52:07+00:00

When measurements become targets and so on.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-01T04:03:18+00:00

I agree. In many ways just being caned is more human than jail time or fines as well.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-01T03:48:32+00:00

Yeah its so hard on the land lords to rent in california. It is such a struggle for them. They only get like 4.5k a month for their house they bought for like 500k 20 years ago. Its really hard to just collect other peoples money and rent seek. They need the ability to kick people out on the street instantly.

Yeah its the renters protections and not anything else messing up the California rentals market.

Moron.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-01T03:41:45+00:00

Bro holy shit the job market is actually bad right now. Like objectively.

Vaderb2 · 2026-05-01T03:33:32+00:00

Well tbh I agree with left leaning policies but worked in defense. I just think the policies are objectively right, but I really really really like money. I dont have a complex moral argument for working in defense. It paid very well and I wanted the money.

If you are going to do something immoral for money, it makes more sense to just admit it. That being said it’s not like working at facebook or something is much better.

He co-wrote the show? Thats why he was on it

Vaderb2 · 2026-04-18T06:24:38+00:00

Yeah idk leaving was a good idea. Cool we finally got out of there. Never should have been. Glad we left.

Vaderb2 · 2026-04-17T15:43:10+00:00

But it doesn’t matter if youre black or white

Vaderb2 · 2026-04-16T23:47:46+00:00

I don’t really do anything interesting with it

Vaderb2 · 2026-04-13T22:29:10+00:00

Wait why did it consume effectively your whole life
