Ironically my most successful job interview ever was the one I was least prepared for. It was last minute, basically no chance to get it, and I dropped all pretense and was just brutally honest and chill. Got the job.
brutally ironically chill
The the words it uses that this site has seen
least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —

I'm down for this. Don't super love the admin bar and how it has to push down the site forcibly. This is way more chill.

Non-ironically this sort of factor is an underappreciated vector for policing reform, because cross-departmental onmbudsmen willing to intervene against a sworn officer without someone dying are very rare in the U.S. legal/political system. Quoting @willchamberlain On the latest Counterweight, Rahul Sidhu (@rahul), Flock’s chief strategy officer, explains that police database abuse is not a new problem. Bad cops have been running plates for friends for decades. What's new is that Flock created auditing software that is catching them. America Related

we're going to see a growing gap in the politics/policy of data centers e.g. Shapiro has to use combative rhetoric to meet the moment — but he's not doing a moratorium or banning subsidies. his standards are comparatively chill it's a sign that it's politically toxic to seem "soft on AI" Quoting @GovernorShapiro BREAKING: I just signed an Executive Order implementing the strictest standards in the nation for AI data centers — because I will not allow Pennsylvanians to be bullied by greedy developers and bulldozed by the lawyers working for these big tech companies. Effective immediately, we’re requiring AI… data centers Related

China
Their words
it's just so easy for me to imagine the situation being like totally manageable but brutally mismanaged in practice in the same way as like maybe CO could have been avoided in the first place if the like Chinese response to CO was less of like a cover up and more of a like pandemic response and similarly like I could imagine a world where like the US response to CO was like way more functional but just like sometimes the the the response to societal problems is extremely dysfunctional.

Imagine having $1.66M in T-bills in 1987 and your income goes from $300k per year (in 2026 dollars) to less than $3k per year by 2021. "T-Bill and Chill" is a terrible long-term strategy Quoting @dollarsanddata Is $5M in Treasury Bills enough to be set for life? Kevin O'Leary (Mr. Wonderful) says yes. History says no.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
