i kind of unironically believe this. not that its killing cinema, but if you can explain what your book / film / whatever is about concisely then it isn't complex enough to be good

At a certain point the guy in the bulldozer at the controls cant hide behind “its my job i need the money they will just get someone else to do it”
At the point where an elephant is trying to save its home from you, you are as liable and evil as the suits that gave the order

the fact that pure math is useless is precisely why it must continue to be taught. abstract thinking has to be taught and trained.
Instead of traditional math courses like geometry and algebra, all math courses should be about investing, interest, and real-life financial situations.
Instead of teaching calculus, teach kids how to calculate how much they'd make on a stock over X years at a 9 percent annual return, including compound interest and dividends.

There's a very funny left/right split on attitudes towards The Lawless Cyclist. Imagine I was telling you about a subculture of Very Fit White Men who thrive on displays of skill and bravado in the face of physical danger! Who court risk and flout modern longhouse safetyism HR nanny state BS! A brotherhood of speed and danger! Seems pretty based and red pilled right? Kinda vitalist-y Nietzchiean-y??

Partido Comunista de China:
"El golf no tiene ningún valor deportivo en absoluto"
China has announced the ban on the existence of golf courses. It requires that all existing golf courses be incorporated into urban community parks and made accessible to all citizens. Moreover, it states that golf has no sporting value at all.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
China has not announced a nationwide ban on existing golf courses, required their conversion to public parks, or stated that golf has no sporting value; new construction has been paused since 2004. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_in_C… zh.wikisource.org/wiki/%E5%9B%BD…

I will vote for the first person to say they will make it legal to shoot cops in self defense. I am a single issue voter and the issue is being allowed to defend yourself from the police

I am hearing that on his deathbed Mitch McConnell received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

“I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to empire over broken oaths and through a sea of blood. This man never broke his word. I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he founded went down with him into his grave. I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held slaves. This man risked his empire rather than permit the slave trade in the humblest village of his dominions. You think me a fanatic, for you read history, not with your eyes, but with your prejudices. But fifty years hence, when Truth gets a hearing, the Muse of history will put Phocion for the Greek, Brutus for the Roman, Hampden for the English, La Fayette for France, choose Washington as the bright, consummate flower of our earlier civilization, then, dipping her pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue, above them all, the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Toussaint L’Ouverture.”

it's actually worse than that. short stories of his like "sleep" show that he _could_ write women as characters of their own, he just _chooses not to_
