Don't feel bad, it's a universal human trait:

L'esprit de l'escalier - Wikipedia
An older English term that was sometimes used for this meaning is afterwit; it is used, for example, in James Joyce's Ulysses (Chapter 9).. The Yiddish trepverter ("staircase words") [4] and the German loan translation Treppenwitz express the same idea as l'esprit de l'escalier.However, in contemporary

The score so far today: BONG (Blue Origin New Glen) to orbit, a second successful booster catch, but a lost (new prototype) Starship.

I don't see it, two edits at 2:00 and 2:21.

He's not Shapiro quick, but he's still quick. Just providing a coherent answer to "why do we need a philosopher" immediately is impressive. Then he allows her time to dig a hole of stupid, then closes out the commentary reinforcing why complex decision making requires philosophy.

I even searched the spelling for the word I've never attempted before.

In the words of Letterman, "hey, it's a free show". Sometimes you get what you pay for.

Greg Gutfeld quotes Scott Adams and flashes his picture on the screen. 'Gutfeld!' laughs through the week's unused jokes

2:51 AS SCOTT ADAMS POINTS OUT TRUMP
2:55 ABSORBED THEIR TECHNIQUES OF
2:56 PERSUASION.
2:56 YOUR COUNTRY LOOKS PRETTY GOOD
2:57 RIGHT NOW.
2:59 IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMETHING
3:00 WERE TO HAPPEN TO IT.

Why the transcript is in all caps I do not know.

[Piotrsko]

back in the day all caps was the default mode for ascii , similar with translations and still main mode for hard of hearing option on TV.

Let's test this guy's linguistic theory. We'll just call it "climate" and "political" so it's a "hard science." There's no need to communicate that we're talking about [political]. That makes perfect sense, right?

Once again you're in a Scott Adams thread. He would say you're arguing about words.

According to your profile, your last post was in this thread at 05-02-2024, 06:42 PM

I'm not falling for your trolling. And I'm not going on the defensive. You guys are going to have to try to do better. Or not. I don't know if you guys are capable or not.

And yet I only find one post by redpoint5 on that date, today.

I didn't find the redpoint5 quote you used, could you provide a Permalink? Nitpicking Peter Zeihan is a strange way to re-enter the thread (and the forum as a whole).

[freebeard]

i would say you're arguing about words.

Permalink?

Where do you get aviation is more dangerous than motorcycles? Done both, never got hit on the freeway by a crazy in my plane. Crashes tend to be more fatal, but less often and usually totally avoidable.

Golden Age? I dunno. Scott skipped the simultaneous sip, first time in ever.

Big day today, but this is my favorite part so far:

1:15:28 Communist Vietnam said they're going to follow libertarian melee's path and try to model their country after it so so
1:15:35 Vietnam communist Vietnam uh is doing this bold path to restructure a state
1:15:42 apparatus and uh radical reforms and they're going to copy
1:15:48 Argentina and they're going to drastically reduce the size of the state and ease their bureaucratic burden
1:15:56 Vietnam do you know anybody from Vietnam so you know there number of
1:16:02 people in California who were born in Vietnam I know a bunch of them and I got to tell you they're pretty awesome
1:16:08 people in almost every way you can imagine they're very awesome people Vietnam
1:16:15 is is way I don't know more capable and smarter than you'd ever imagine they're
1:16:21 they're they're good people anyway okay um I think that's more of the
1:16:28 Common Sense breaking out everywhere all over the world

I agree. I was there. They were very forgiving toward the United States for what we did to them. My favorite one of the Oliver Stone Vietnam trilogy is "Heaven and Earth".
