The Baloch Liberation Army and ISIS-K somehow grew significantly since 2022 when they started targeting Chinese workers in Afghanistan and Pakistan

AI generated stuff just does that because of the sheer amount of deviantart porn it's trained on

At this point any government not trying to intervene is complicit in the crimes of israel. If the international rules based order means anything, 800 murdered in a hospital attack should erase any right for the state of israel to exist.

I've heard things from techbros that were last uttered out loud by a 1920s eugenicist, genuinely no option but to hit them with the jesse-wtf

It doesn't get much better IRL, these are people making 6 figures in their 20s getting hailed as intelligent professionals on the level of doctors and engineers without any of the years of rigorous practice. The average person in tech is living in a completely different reality to the average worker.

Guess what you could afford if you weren't paying your landlords mortgage plus premium? The fucking maintenance costs agony-shivering

I have never met a single person who doesn't want to own a house because they'd have to maintain it and yet it's the only excuse they can pull out!

I've never seen downvotes used for anything other than indicating to others who to dogpile on, without it a lot of people simply won't know which side of an argument they should be on

Twitter suit guy may be annoying but his series on developing your own style from the ground up is great:

Everything is contextual to an aesthetic. A hundred years ago, the scope for good taste—what Bourdieu would describe as legitimate taste—was confined to the taste of the ruling class. That is no longer the case today. This means rules about colors, silhouettes, proportions, and other such ideas are contextual to the aesthetic you’re trying to create. I’ve written some posts about how to think about silhouettes and color. But whenever a reader emails me to ask whether black pairs with blue or if a particular garment fits correctly, I feel that, in today’s culturally open world, you have to start with the aesthetic, not compartmentalize things as universal rules. This is partly why some guys who favor classic tailored clothing struggle with casualwear—they try to transport cultural ideas about suits and sport coats to very different aesthetics, such as workwear or sportswear. Sometimes rules can stretch across aesthetic spaces (like ideas linking romantic languages); sometimes, they do not (like trying to apply English grammar rules to Chinese). Derive your rules from aesthetics and your aesthetics from culture.
