First world problems. Failed state immigrants will kindly remind you that what you really need is a Backup Country, you just don't know it yet.

chef's kiss This guy and the person that quit the bullshit industrial complex 6 months ago should get together and launch a startup. Better yet, we should all go and join Jeremy Ho…

TIL: The so-called "South Pole Station" is at 9300 feet, which I never would have guessed. Though the side effects ascribed to it seemed a bit extreme (routine bloody nose during s…

It's been stated multiple times in this thread that he can't walk away just by paying $1B. If he wanted to only offload $8B TSLA stock and not buy the company, why put that possibi…

Basically unleashes a rant on Substack and its CEO for proposing he shut down his youtube and patreon channels and move to substack "for free".

Great to see Herzog on the list. Highly recommend "Werner Herzog, A Guide for the Perplexed", which is a great collection of musings in his own words about life and art, including …

"of all time" is often too strong of a qualifier for me. I would say "talks that I want to rewatch the moment they come to mind." Charlie Kaufman's Bafta Lecture https://www.youtub…

Yes, I’m curious about this as well even though its an imperfect world where there probably isn’t an ideal, free environment for expressing their opinions. But if the alternative i…

because when the going gets tough, the tough get going in the pants. Also when I see that other guy in some tv show or movie, I'm like "Cujo!". I still have it somewhere on betamax…

Someone please explain to me Emergency Management Directors (men) --> Probation Officers (women), overwhelmingly beating out teachers and secretaries. wat.

At first I thought it would be silly too, but think about it: these guys are buying a car, why not give the iwatch and iphone free with the car, its only about a grand. If it all g…

To be clear, I wasn't trying to claim McInnes or Flanagan weren't anti-feminists. In fact I introduced the term in my response because I thought it was a more accurate description …

I don't think he's a homophobe. In order to call him that you'd have to cast a very wide net. As for the anti-feminism [1] or misogyny, some of the same points he makes in more pro…

My thoughts exactly. The writing has gotten stale without adding real substance--with a few exceptions obviously. But in general they've sacrificed form without adding meaningful c…

the interview with the hell-banned founder (Gavin McInnes): http://canadalandshow.com/podcasts/vice-oral-history

yeah, they had me until he clicked on the search button with his mouse.....yeah, his mouse. who the hell does that? It's just not rhetorical, is there any one out here that clicks …

I'll get the ball rolling with "The Sixth Stage of Grief Is Retro-computing" https://medium.com/message/networks-without-networks-7644933...

I'm not a sea captain or anything, but I find it interesting that there is little reference or comparison to S-57/S-63 data (vector-based nautical chart standard maintained by the …

Subject-wise it still can be edgy at times, but I still miss the Gavin McInnes days (the pushed out co-founder)[1], despite him resurfacing kind of predictably as a Fox News regula…
