A hilarious aspect of color temperature is that the intuitive meaning of warm/cool is exactly opposite of the technical blackbody-based definition of CCT. The "cold" light has the hottest correlated emitter.
I can tell the ethnicity of the occupants of a house by the light bulb color temperature

At this point, LoTR is Harry Potter for +2stddev people. If 0stddevs had the agency to start defense tech companies, we would see a ton of "patronus arms" and "wingardium aerospace".

I sometimes feel a paranoid suspicion that my entire belief system (including my understanding of metabolic pathways) is somehow retroengineered just to express pre-programmed class markers. But I think more likely, upper(-middle) class people are more correct about everything

"We emailed you a login code" is extremely third-world-coded. Society stooping to accommodate the most retarded and incompetent 20% because they can't help but give their password to Indian scammers.

Computer engineers don't need a union for the money; they need a union to wage lawfare against normie lawyers/execs/etc. who ask for satanic luddite stuff like WiFi captive portals.

Not joking or exaggerating when I say someone should go to jail for this.

Operating motor vehicles is the divinely granted genetic inheritance of the Yamnayan charioteers. If you don't like driving as a concept, you are descended from a slave population subjugated by the Yamnaya.
i can’t wait till they ban human drivers from streets & close off majority of streets for humans. hopefully we don’t have absolute morons running government (haha we absolutely will). humans should not be driving any motor vehicles other than racing tracks or designated

People who get tattoos are reenacting genetic memories of their ancestors being branded as slaves.

Any Mossad blackmail videos are about to become useless due to AI video generation, so the rational strategy is to cash all those checks right now on something big.

In the absence of harsh winters, people do not evolve the instinct to save for the future. Instead, they evolve to spend surplus resources as rapidly as possible in conspicuous displays of mate suitability. From yams and gourd necklaces to chains, jordans, and prom clothes.
Prom is AT LEASTTTTTT $20k now. If I were to have a kid it’ll def be around $100k so Ima go ahead and add that to the list of reasons I don’t want kids. Lol.

Libertarianism, like racism, should be kept away from dumb people or they'll do it badly and embarrass everyone. Homeowners don't want someone to build a meat-packing plant next to their house. The civil rights act nuked covenant law, so zoning is the ersatz replacement.

Anyone who uses the phrase "ontologically evil" is pretty much guaranteed not to understand what "ontology" means.
I'm growing more and more convinced that around 45 to 55% of American population regardless of race and ethnicity is ontologically evil, and will resort to feasting on human flesh if given the opportunity.

Say what you will about Americans but I honestly think they would have killed this guy by now.
As a father, watching Adolescence with my teenage son and daughter hit home hard. We all need to be having these conversations more. I've backed Netflix's plan to show the series for free in schools across the country, so as many young people as possible can see it.

OG "Vibe Coding" is using a brutally-typed language like Haskell and letting the code fly while the type system keeps you pointed in the correct direction. AI-powered "Vibe Coding" is peasant slop by comparison.

I think if you have a bachelor's degree, they should take it away when you get married. You're not a bachelor anymore.

Trying to use "number of lives saved" as a proxy for utility doesn't work at all in the Malthusian hellscape of Africa. Every African with AIDS you save now represents many lifetimes of suffering in the future.
Congrats DOGE, you cut the deficit by .0001%, at the price of millions of lives.

They're destroying fossils in Australia because they go against abo "creation myths" (probably made up by some fat white bitch listening to them huff gasoline). This is unironically worse and more insane than ISIS destroying statues.

Most attempts to "help" the poor are doomed because every marginal dollar goes to gambling, drugs, kitsch, and disney trips.
