If the general bulk of appreciable-quantity tech investors suddenly found out in granular detail what is actually being done with their money as opposed to what they were told, it would probably cause the biggest crash since the Great Depression.

Before anyone objects to the this statement: do you really think somebody would just go in fronw of the international community and tell lies?
I did the same thing with my parents, mostly because they’d just say “quarter after” but would never say any number. If you made a word cloud of everything I’ve ever said in my life, “after what” would be gigantic in the center with every other word tiny around the edges.
Bicycling requires strength and endurance.
So does cleaning a house, but that’s “women’s work”.
Is it that you’re in control of a heavier and more powerful machine?
That’s it. You didn’t get it at first because made the mistake of associating manliness with things like patience, strength, hard work, endurance both of toil and hardship; all things that do make up ideals of manliness to normal people. But you need to approach it from the perspective of a wastrel, a weak, foolish, and lazy person who demands the respect and deference of being manly without putting in the hard work—something he has avoided all his life. He might praise hard work in abstract, but he has no discipline for it and doesn’t respect those who actually do it, he just considers them beneath him. To such a person, the defining aspect of manliness and machismo is mastery, mastery over others and their wills, and since mastery through work is a waste of time to him, he turns to shortcuts.
From there, it’s not hard to see where the thought process goes. Since strength is to him based on control and mastery, he picks something that gives him more command over the road in a direct and in-your-face way. The man who drives a lifted Ram 2500 can confront you by running you the fuck over. By contrast, in his opinion, cyclists are entitled jackasses in miniscule booty shorts who can only confront you on the road by screaming “CRITICAL MASS! FUCKING CAGER!” and throwing sparkplugs at your windows. The difference in power dynamic is proof enough to our friend of who the “real man” is.
To take the mentality to its conclusion, the easiest way to gain mastery in general is through authority, and the easiest way to get that, even easier than joining a gang, is by becoming a cop.
I remember when I was 14 and I had everything figured out
Do you do literally anything besides endless serial shitposting about how much you hate Joe Biden? It’s incessant. Get a grip, fucking weirdo.
Given the number of times I’ve seen cops on police forums and r/protectandserve use terms like “bikefags”, I think it’s just the typical cop disgust of anything they perceive to be weak or effeminate.

Doc, I think I have moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, menopause, and erectile dysfunction.
“hmmm have you considered that chronic pain isn’t real and you’re lying? Don’t worry, I’m still going to bill your insurance for the full price of an office visit.”
Let’s just fast forward, shall we?
“Google denies rumors of bumps under Pixel 8 Pro displays”
“Google says bumps under Pixel 8 Pro displays are caused by mishandling and water damage”
“Google refuses to repair bumps under Pixel 8 Pro displays”
“Owners of Google Pixel 8 Pro left holding the bag over faulty displays”
“European Union fines Google $50M over defective Pixel 8 Pro displays, but non-EU customers still waiting for repair”
“Google denies rumors that Pixel 8 Pros with faulty displays were replaced with refurbished models instead of being repaired”
The ATF must be absolutely seething that the FBI is riding roughshod over their jurisdiction, sniping dogs and shooting unarmed people in the back are two of their three core missions. If the FBI starts selling guns to cartels, it’ll be a complete usurpation.
Scott added he would say to historians questioning the accuracy of his storytelling:
“Were you there? Oh you weren’t there. Then how do you know?”
Because the people who were there wrote it down, and now we can read it. Scott’s line of reasoning is inherently inconsistent because if followed it would mean we have to evidence of Napoleon Bonaparte existing in the first place. Boy is Ridley Scott going to feel dumb when he realizes he made a biopic of a mythical character combined from the real stories of several French generals after the revolution—if there even was a French Revolution, I mean, we weren’t there.
Is there anything more embarrassing than people who think they know better than historians and reject the entire discipline of historiography? It’s like being anti-vax but extended to everything you don’t personally see.

We can solve even more problems by canceling the show, as should have happened about 26 seasons ago.
You’re pretty much just missing Mississippi, New Jersey, and Boston and you’ll have made a complete circuit of all the places with the most assholes. Hard luck.
