Genuinely insane that Abdul El-Sayed said “hurt people hurt people” in the context of a guy trying to murder 100 Jewish children at a synagogue in Michigan. Legitimately one of the most insane things you could ever say.
I’m gluten free
When I was a child I used to think it was unfair my food was more expensive and not always available
I thought the state should make it fair
Then I grew up

I still remember when neo cons insisted that this war would be over and done with in a matter of days. And I remember when we told them it wouldn’t play out like that, and it would prove to be a massive blunder, and they yelled at us and called us “panicans” and traitors.

Local LARPer finds out "restoring Christendom" is more boring than he thought
“More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. …More extracurriculars, less ‘hanging out at the mall.’”
No. Striver culture is why Tiger moms have miserable children. Sleepovers make well rounded successful, happy kids. Math tutoring for 11 year olds is immoral
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:
Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.
A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.
A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.
(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).
More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”
Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.
Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.
“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.
This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.
That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Controversial take: If Vivek (who is very obviously a terrible candidate) ends up winning this election, one can only conclude that the dissident right, who have thrown their entire body weight behind supporting Amy Acton, are, for better or worse, effectively politically irrelevant.
If you can’t even stop a Hindu pro-H-1B visa anchor-baby pharma-scammer, what *can* you do?
I don’t understand Tim Pool
No shame. He’s cool enough. But I don’t get how he’s as big as he is. Who are his diehard fans?
I’ve never met someone who listens to him in person
What’s Princeton like?
I’m sitting next to my roommate. One of us is using AI to learn philosophy. The other is drinking whiskey while using AI to learn philosophy
Social security is redistribution from the young to the old. It’s not a savings plan
Cutting it isn’t taking away their money. It’s putting an end to the mass theft

On average, Boomers are getting paid more from Social Security than they “paid into it.” A lot more. Like double, and that’s counting inflation and interest. In raw dollars, they’ll get four to seven times what they paid in. So what about this compromise, to at least stave off insolvency and save billions: you get back what you paid in, but no more. Young families won’t be forced to finance a 250 percent return on your “investment.” That seems extremely reasonable, doesn’t it? It doesn’t go nearly as far as I would like. But it’s a very fair compromise. It completely negates any claim that you didn’t get the money back that you “paid in.” And yet I suspect that this comprise will not be satisfactory. Why is that? Because this debate actually has nothing to do with “getting back what you paid in.” The REAL demand is for a lot more than that.

Black Supremacist author “Dr.” William Deon James: I can prove racism exists. Only 0.001% of black applicants were accepted to the police force. Explain that!
@IAmJakeHuffaker Uh, it was 1% and they failed because they can’t do math.
Again, just because a group doesn’t do well at a thing, doesn’t mean they’re being thwarted. George Costanza isn’t in the NBA and it has nothing to do with their hatred of short, bald Jews with Mexican names.

If you are in Ohio, vote for Vivek
If you are in Texas, vote for Bo French

I suffered through 3 hrs of @DigitalSocialLV because @GodLogic_GL was debating another Muslim. I committed to finish the show and let me say @IAmJakeHuffaker was the top notch breath of fresh air, thank you Jake. I also really dig this cat Elijah Johnson.

Correction: I said Duel is halal, not gambling. Which is true, under the Islamic fiqh definition of qimar.
Gambling is absolutely haram under Islamic law. However Duel is the first and only casino in the world to offer zero edge, where the house doesn't have an advantage.
Gambling is considered bad due to its destructive tendencies caused by negative expected value in the long run. All four Sunni schools would agree that zero edge gambling, when combined with the entertainment factor, generate a net positive return, making it fall under Islamic investing laws rather than gambling.
Duel is extremely halal, you just don't know your own religion.
The Prophet accepted entertainment and relaxation as a material benefit (rawwiḥū al-qulūb sāʿatan baʿda sāʿah, روحوا القلوب ساعة بعد ساعة), if you bothered reading your own Quran. The Quran forbade a thing that breeds hatred and takes wealth. A fair, bounded game played for enjoyment does neither, and is explicitly halal if a faithful reading of Mohammed's texts is conducted.
I wouldn't expect you to understand or know any of this though, you can keep falsely calling people kaffirs and telling people Allah will burn in hell. Christ is King and your hatred will not overpower his Love.
