PIZZA HISTORIAN WATCHING “MYSTIC PIZZA”: I don’t even know where to begin. I would be ashamed to serve these pizzas.

I just hope everybody has fun

Honestly I think they're both fine and I'm going to have to vote for one of them

"The Odyssey" was a fine movie but its politics were a bit iffy. wouldve been way better if at the end the Odysseus turned to the camera & said "The FOMC shoudn't have raised rates in 2015" & then specified that they should have waited until Q2 2017.

hopefully the next ffxiv expansion's a bit better

R’s spent more political capital trying to oust a senior policy advisor on Iran than providing oversight of an actual war with Iran lol

starting a fistfight by saying RX Bandits are emo

His broader meta-argument about social media and mass psychology has never been about people disagreeing with him personally, though the fact that so many of his subjects substantively disagree with him makes him a particularly good person to make it

Then I'm afraid you're misreading him. He doesn't engage with his interlocutors to persuade THEM, he does it to highlight their flawed arguments for the benefit of his audience. He is quite explicit about this.

Wrote an obituary for Guy Scott, the first and thus far only white man to run a democratic government in postcolonial Africa:

The divinity of Jesus Christ is the recipient of some of the finest defenses ever made by human beings and not one of them settles the question by its quality

In this case, the evidence for someone not taking seriously the quality of your argument is thinking that you are wrong

I think it is very difficult to argue that Will Stancil doesn't care about the quality of his opponents' arguments

But I think it's important to look at the situation and understand the fault for settling here does not lie with the counterparty zealously defending themselves or the system that allows them to do it.

Yes, and it turns out many people do not pursue what the law entitles them to and settle (no pun intended) for being made less than whole.

Wait until these people hear that every month I pay $200 on a sub .1% chance to collect 400k (homeowners insurance)

It is not actually possible to run out of people to talk to on the internet. Ignore one person or ten thousand, it doesn't matter.

You think he's terrible, and I think you're all a bunch neurotic, paranoid weirdos. But that's only my problem for as long as I choose to allow you to inflict yourself on me, which incidentally is ending right now
