Frosted Flake posted:The thing that stuck out to me about the latest Chapo is the self proclaimed geniuses didn’t even look up basic Latin. Feminine singular would be Titania Invicta. It’s weird to have an adjective as a proper name though, and it doesn’t fit with Roman feminine name conventions. For something like your child’s name, you’d expect them to do the research and get it right. should have named her mega-gargant dakkastompah

Liz being dumb about the causes of Silicon Valley freaks in the recent TrueAnon. Literally all of these people come from upper or upper-middle class backgrounds - I'm pretty sure that has a much bigger impact on making them think there are no consequences to things than video games. Also most of these guys are dumb as gently caress - being "good with computers" didn't make them this way. It's just a particular subculture of the rich (IIRC they even correctly compare it with something like the Progressive movement/eugenics).

Yeah there's a big difference between people who do computers as a job and the Silicon Valley types in terms of wealth and outlook. You can generally tell if someone uses technology to do a thing and a person who worships technology in and of itself.

Snails and mushrooms sauteed in garlic and olive oil. Maybe with onions. Put that in the pie crust. What herbs tho? Oregano, herbs de provence?

Iirc Steve Jobs did not grow up rich (though not like, poor or anything) and a lot of SV evangelists project his experience onto everyone else, instead of acting like he was the outlier and every other SV entrepreneur started out pretty well off at the very least.

Tankbuster posted:>hinge points Sometimes Christman hits and other times he seems a little lazy. Everybody knows if not for the channel and the Royal Navy, Phillip II, the Jacobites, Napoleon, Hitler etc. would bring tyranny to jolly old England. Turtledove at least wrote a book where glaciation was different, the Mediterranean was a dry basin, and Neanderthals survived to the present day. That was interesting, this not so much.

Isn't it just that people in silicon valley live in a culture bubble that has a vested interest in perpetuating the lie that they're saving the world? Because they live extravagant lives of privilege at the expense of the suffering of others, and if they're not part of a holy mission to rescue civilization then they're just a bunch of parasites enriching themselves at the end of the world? I don't think you need more of an explanation than that, they're part of an insular community that needs to rationalize their continued existence.

This completely ignores ottoman attempts at trying and failing to stop the portuguese from expanding into India alongside their Mughal and Venetian(!) allies cutting the ottomans out of the east/west trade. It's mind boggling that during the era of the post medieval - early modern world there is a complete lack of the Mughal empire acting as both a massive gold sink and a trade market. It's the east india company, not the cathay company. It's really infuriating. I will still keep listening to that garbage.

Hinge Points seems pretty dumb so far. You can still be relatively materialist when doing this stuff, but they start throwing out ‘maybe’s almost immediately and then just say any old poo poo after that.
