Has Kash and Trump had their families threatened causing them to pull back on promises?

I feel like we're due for an evil Canada arc.

They've always been so nice. Imagine they get really hardcore for a while.

whats your myers-briggs type? for science.

One thing I've come to appreciate about fiction writing is that it's as much problem solving as it is creativity.

Creativity is the spark of it. You start with a story idea. Vibes.

And then there's the basics. You have to put in your hours on reading fiction, and looking up tutorials on dialogue, exposition, structure, etc. Basically, spend a thousand hours reading things you like and reviewing all the mostly-right rules so that you can selectively break them when need be.

But the majority of the time actually spent on the craft, is problem solving. And as an engineer, that appeals to me. You have a series of scenes that need to happen for the story to occur, and have to figure out how to fill in the gaps to make one lead to another properly, i.e. mostly invisibly to the reader as though they're immersed and it's totally organic and really happened. And then you realize a plot hole with one of your scenes, and have to figure out how to tweak that scene or other scenes to fix the plot hole without creating more plot holes in a butterfly effect.

It clicks all the same fun challenge sensors that my brain has when it comes to engineering design or financial analysis.

He's a jew. Sadly he's not perfect, but at least he's doing more to decimate govt than anyone else in power ever has.

Argentina is moving up my bucket list of places to visit. Quotes from Milei’s speech at UN today.

“The UN has become a multi-tentacled Leviathan that seeks to decide how each nation should live."

"We reject the 'Pact for the Future'—it is nothing but a socialist blueprint for control."

"Freedom is the only path forward for nations; we must resist any system that curtails it."

"Socialism designs a world it can't achieve, and when it fails, it represses the people."

"Argentina will lead an agenda of freedom, not submission to globalism."

"We must empower individuals, not centralize power in bureaucratic institutions."

"Freedom, free markets, and individual rights are the pillars of a prosperous society."

"We reject the collectivist agendas that destroy wealth and enslave nations."

"Austerity and economic discipline are the only roads to true independence."

"Long live freedom!"

What character tropes do you dislike the most in movies, shows, and books?

After cutting bread and pasta, I found my sugar cravings have mostly disappeared. Still eating fruit/veg, along with more meat, chicken and fish. I can see more definition in my stomach than I've seen in probably a decade. Not tired, no feelings of excessive hunger, etc. So far so good!

Stacking sats is easy. Staying humble is the hard part.

We’re going to win. The competition is old, lame, objectively insane and driven by darkness. We’re riding the light.

I don't know if he will finish the trilogy or not, but this Patrick Rothfuss quote is amazing:

"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."

I love the framing. Wise men don't fear many things, so what they do fear is high signal. And then that last point- gentle men are known for their diplomacy and agreeableness in all matters; what would make a gentle man angry?

More importantly to make it really hit home, think about your best personal life example of a *specific* gentle man. Your awesome uncle, perhaps. The guy who is literally always chill. The gigachad walking around with his goats and never gets upset.

Or, if you have trouble with a personal example, just picture Mr. Rogers. The quintessential gentle man. Always nice. Neighborly. Who can picture him angry?

And then one day, for the first time you've ever known him, he is fucking furious at something.

That's signal. And truly scary.

What would make a gentle man angry?
