mircea_popescu: i guess it's the fear of the unknown i'm misrepresenting. people WILL grind online poker for about 50 cents an hour. but that's their routine, and so easy.

mircea_popescu: or maybe from having been told this by the wrong people.
fluffypony: which comes from years of not being told that they're not wrong, but their idea is fucking awful

mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't think i am currently ranking any media outlet above zero.

fluffypony: so that's good
fluffypony: well there was that study that found that hirsute males are more intelligent

fluffypony: yet each view each other as competition and think they stand on the moral high ground
mircea_popescu: "Gawker staff writer Hamilton Nolan loves to rant. I can't say I ever particularly noticed Nolan, or that his opinionated posts stand out from the rest of the sensationalized content Gawker churns out each day"
mircea_popescu: (they both employ freelance journalists. THE SAME freelance journalists)
mircea_popescu: maybe im old, but seems a tenuous argument.
