    Am sad to report that a friend and I went to a very authentic Hunan restaurant, added stinky tofu to our order, was told by the waiter "No that's only for people from China, you won't like it," we both said that we were excited to try it, received it, and in fact couldn't eat it

    The waiter looked very satisfied when he saw the full plate

    I reference this Onion headline at least once a week at this point

    I asked Claude to make a 15-letter version of Wordle where I get 15 guesses and I have to admit I'm a little mad

    Used to think "knowing how to cook" meant having a massive set of built-up intuitions for how complex flavors pair well or how to get just the right consistency and texture in food but it turns out when people say that they mean "the ability to read"

    It depresses me to see how many young people have reoriented their entire belief system around ideas like this which are so obviously fake and designed to make them feel like they're in a Marvel movie. Just completely giving up on understanding the world.

    I can believe car deaths are bad but an acceptable trade-off for people being able to travel freely. Doesn’t mean I deserve to die in a car accident etc.

    To those critics of Charlie Kirk sharing this headline, it's not a gotcha. Yes, believing in the right to bear arms means there will be unfortunate gun deaths. Just like believing in free speech means there will be unfortunate deaths, perpetrated by monsters who believe it's

    Video of a San Francisco Muni train flying 50mph out of the Sunset Tunnel after the driver fell asleep. Luckily the train didn't crash.

    Since Luigi I've been driven kind of insane by how many people can look at stuff like this and decide that the insurance companies need some kind of violent retribution when they're the ones coming up with elaborate schemes to help manage these insane costs in the first place

    Good friend is single, late 30s, self-made. He likes giving strangers dried fruits. People will hang out for hours while he keeps giving them more and more raisins. Prunes are a big hit too. But he's consistently ignored, ghosted, or told "this isn't working" after a few dates

    Small sample size but in my time as a teacher it was becoming more and more noticeable just how many students had truly bizarre beliefs if you asked just a few follow-up questions to what they said. Wasn't the case when I started teaching.

    I remember meeting a friend for the first time years ago and he said "I feel politically homeless" and I said "Oh yeah?" expecting some boring rant about being socially liberal and fiscally conservative and then he said "Yeah, my ideal society is hunter gatherer plus big pharma"
