Just had a surreal experience. 7 or so years ago, when I was starting my first company, I met an angel investor. We met several times. He was a blunt guy, even a bit mean. Malaysian Chinese. Had built a few solid companies himself. During the last meeting he gave me some blunt

...the Macedonian phalanx in dense array and bristling[1] with long pikes had also made an attack upon them, all things at once appeared full of terror to Darius, who had already long been in a state of fear, so that he was the first to turn and flee.

Need to get this off my chest. There’s a conversation Jews are totally unable to have right now. I know this is going to piss a lot of people off and I may lose my community over this, but it's the elephant in the room and we need to talk about it: Seinfeld was a dumb show.

say what you will about the neocons, but at least they had basic reading comprehension abilities.

A leftist posted this today and all I could think was “you forgot to add the gigachad image”

An empire must periodically remind its subjects why they need it.

I find it very upsetting that much of this state is basically desert and plains. It should be entirely mountains.

stop panicking guys. New York has survived a WAY worse socialist mayor.

I think this sort of alt right thinking really misunderstands the American mind. We are a dichotomy of two things. We are elegant in our solutions (Bretton Woods, etc.) and we are unbelievably violent when need be. And in our militarism, we find our morality.

One of the funniest aspects of SF is that you have to put "shabbat" in quotes, like it's a figurative bizarro thing that no one could possibly do as an actual religious experience based on authentic belief.

wait a second...didnt you claim for 8 years that...

this guy's entire shtick is that he went to yale but being hated everyone else there. That's it.

If a VC schedules a first meeting that's longer than half an hour, it means they can't lead (and have very little else better to do with their time). Unfortunately they only ever tell you at the end of the call. The VC equivalent of "hey I actually already have a boyfriend"

fiorello laguardia, giuliani, and now mamdani. The big apple yet again serving up a fresh slice of italian american greatness as its mayor.

after decades of hearing claims we elected a secret Muslim born in Africa it’s very funny we actually elected a Muslim born in Africa

I’m trying not to care much about the nyc mayoral election because I don’t think it’s that consequential. However it is hilarious watching right wingers learn that New York is diverse for the first time. the last 6 or 7 mayors of the city have been Jews, Italians, and blacks.
