is there a limit to how *bad* you can be at chess? presumably it's harder to make optimally bad moves than totally random ones.

White people ordering butter chicken, garlic naan, and mango Lassi at an Indian restaurant has the same energy as them ordering enchiladas, margaritas, and chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant.

so cool how the largest city in the Bay Area and the third largest city in California (behind LA and San Diego) has nothing remarkable about it, there's not even a big college, residents can't even identify it from the skyline, no one knows anything about San Jose, it's an SCP

i like how we, as a nation, have just given up on sensible policies, epic really.
My dad always used to say that the way you build wealth is by building equity in your home. My housing plan would help Americans achieve homeownership by giving households $400 a month for two years when they buy their first home.

deeply suspicious of the heterosexuality of any men giving a confident answer in either direction.
Here’s the deal on women’s hair . Men prefer the before . But they aren’t kicking either out of bed. Women compliment the after . Because they hate competition & love using fake compliments to gas ugly chicks - and to look good publicly . But women look better w/ longer hair

I find it funny how Chinese immigrants to the US will give their kids names like Andrew, David, etc and then Indian immigrants will name their kids Parjanath or something.

you need to be normiemaxxing. you need to be having a good day. you need to be having a swell time. when people see you they should think you're another p-zombie sleepwalking through life. you should be watching cable news. you gotta have a favorite sports team. you gotta be okay.

>This means that a human, working diligently 40 hour weeks for a year, fully engaged, could produce about: 52 * 40 * 60 * 800 * 1.33 = 132 million tokens per year of thought. This would cost $264 out of ChatGPT. I love this kind of napkin math, absolutely beautiful insanity.

coffee addicts are on a whole other level, you can't seriously convince me this kind of behavior doesn't come from a place of extreme mental illness.
If you drink coffee every day, why not make it the best it can possibly be? . Buy really good beans from a quality roaster, grind them yourself, and take a few minutes to slow down and make yourself a pour-over. Your whole experience and appreciation of coffee will change.
