I was thinking carefully about my answers and being a bit on the slower side, so she asked if I had a learning disability or took special ed classes. apparently after I left the judge chewed her out and then found him guilty (juvenile court, so no jury)

It is widely documented that people with autism often have a natural affinity for trains, and BART couldn't be more thrilled to celebrate that during
#AutismAcceptanceMonth

See where the announcements are playing and listen to the recordings:
one thing that lots of tech people genuinely believe is that they should be able to get advisory opinions and thus safe harbor from regulators and even prosecutors on their products and business practices and that they can't is a great offense against the rule of law
@eddieblake448
it was his third offense and the defense attorney was throwing 60 yard Hail Marys. she, a middle aged white lady, asked me a lot of questions about black hairstyles

"Do you have a learning disability? Do you take special education classes?"
"No, just honored classes."
my Dad had to step out he was laughing so hard
@CrisprChild
the podcast "What Went Wrong" had a great episode about the disaster that was that movie's production. Sting tried to resign several times iirc. just incredible stuff
@mauddweeb
yeah. it was pretty obvious. they had no real defense and were trying to suggest I'd pointed out the wrong guy
problem for him was he'd gotten right up in my face, demanded I hand over my iPod, looked around, and only then pulled out his ski mask

I had a comment about how it's interesting the way our feelings depend on certain framings and associations, but I have been laughing at this for five minutes
observation from the Vibecamp arranged marriage/speed dating thing:
srs mono, wants kids (L&M) was almost exclusively men, even more than the rest of the event or VC in general. a few in M, but basically if you wanted to meet women, you had to go poly or (even more) no kids
@goblinodds
oh, pretty much the same thing
- drugs/booze badass
- sex out of wedlock badass
- eating disorders good (no fat chicks)
- how to hide abuse in relationships
- how to roofie

"the power I desperately wanted to wield against the Outgroup became politically untenable after the Ingroup gave up all pretense of policing itself"
utterly stupid, doesnt even make sense thermodynamically. actually we need you to use your bodies for chemical processing and to run graphics for our video games in your brains
I have eaten

@isengrimm3
dunno, but this was juvenile court, it was his third offense, and the case was pretty solid. the defense was pretty desperate and just throwing out whatever
4yo and 5yo were roaring at each other while playing dinosaurs. observing this, the latter's 7yo sister comments "Where's a comet when you need one?"
she's gonna be a killer comedian
when I was in college I took Intro to Philosophy with this guy named Elliot who was often surrounded by girls, and like three weeks into the term the prof asked if they were enrolled in the course and Elliot, clarifying, said "no they are my guests"
by far the most interesting part about the Google AI story has been hearing "I don't know if it's a person or not, but we shouldn't do things that might harm it in case it is" from strongly pro-choice people

@goblinodds
one thing I'm surprised I haven't seen people commenting on is how many kids were there.
as someone who loves kids I was glad, both on the object level and for what it signals about safety and the future
@goblinodds
I have never seen a more lopsided Twitter poll. seriously, you could ask "is it ever okay to eat a human baby?" and you still have at least a few yeses.

I saw him speak when his last book came out. It was honestly really good up until the Q&A at when someone asked him about one of his old jokes (I think one about girls and math, or something in that vein) and it was incredible watching him come apart onstage.
