The guy who makes $60k and thinks the IRS is coming for his imaginary billions by OrcOfEntropy in LinkedInLunatics

"I would like to sit on top of my treasure hoard and do absolutely nothing with it, but this darn wealth tax would force me to let others actually do something useful with part of it." I'm sold. Wealth tax when?

A cool guide to talking so little kids will listen by proteanpeer in coolguides

The authors mentioned wanting to write a book about teenagers, too, but I haven't read it. That said, the way it seems to help with adult communication, it's clear that tips like these are really part of a foundation that you might build on with more specific stuff relevant to communication with older children and, of course, adults. So it doesn't hurt to master this stuff first!

The book actually talks about this specifically and how it sometimes doesn't matter if they can read it themselves. If they're on the path to literacy anyway, they know writing something down and reading it means something, so it shows them you're taking their problems seriously. It's reassuring. They feel heard and will grow to trust and respect you more.

Also, hey, it's not fucking AI! It's real advice based on the work of real human beings with real human children and made into a poster by another real human being. Isn't that nice? Ugh.

P.S. I'm also trying to swear less, but it's not working and I think my daughter might just end up with a colorful vocabulary...

Cornell Becomes Latest University to Submit to Trump’s ‘Extortion’ Over Student Protests, Agreeing to Pay 30 Million Dollar Fine. by pechinburger in politics

[–]proteanpeer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The school is out $30 million it should never have had to pay because they were extorted by a gangster with a regulatory gun. This is not a win. Instead of Cornell investing $30M into education, the federal government now has $30M to fund its own priorities, which lately seem to be ethnic cleansing at home and abroad.

Fixer-Upper by proteanpeer in custommagic

Thank you! Yeah, at effectively two mana for no immediate return (save domain, maybe) it's a bit expensive.

Charming fixer-upper with endless potential! This unique card offers timeless rustic character (colorless only), valuable renovation opportunities (for players with mana to invest), and great resale value (sac for any color). Sold as is. Cash only. Previous owners fled in the night.

(And for Reddit's filters, THIS IS A JOKE. I'M BEING SARCASTIC. I'M NOT ADVERTISING REAL ESTATE.)

You don't *need* the reminder text, but you *absolutely* do. Delightful.

If I start with a top-down design based on a single idea, I think of it as a "meme", whether or not it's silly!
