I mean, please blame me, but also, send me your email! It'll either be for the audio thing or the new video thing I'm working on (or both? Who's to say!)

About time, and also why the hell haven't we asked you to come be a guest on the podcast? Well, me specifically, since I'm the one that books guests. So that's my fault. I'm asking myself. And blaming myself.

Damn, I thought the Ari Aster story would be the funniest part of my night, but no, this is it.

Plus, they clearly made you awesome at what you do.

certainly kill someone or cause someone to have a chemical exposure, or any number of other serious issues. I think the same goes for journalism, or in this case, psychology, because there's a duty of care and type of professionalism in those fields that has to be a little unforgiving.

My best professors in engineering were also generally the most critical ones. There was one guy who handed back a student's paper and it was written on top "why did you even submit this?" But he was right to do so, the work wasn't up to snuff, and a poorly-trained chemical engineer will almost

Lmao wait this is probably the best story I've heard in the last 10 years.

that focus on the issues historically, either. He's good at delivering talking points, but that's it. That's not the mark of a leader.

commuted, who advertised himself as a fiscal conservative in the past, who said the invasion of Afghanistan was justified and only called for an end to it when it was politically safe to do so, and opposes free college tuition. He's not a winner on the issues, and didn't do that well in debates

He's doing alright in primary polls that are close to 2 years out from the primaries, but that's still neglecting that a lot of people (I think rightly) find him to be too inauthentic, or too far right to be considered. Like here's a guy who didn't like Chelsea Manning having her sentence

Also the tariffs are a nightmare to work around as someone working on starting a business, and the fact that they're driving out people with scientific/engineering talent with bullshit immigration policies makes it so much worse when considering the whole thing.

Yeah, that certainly makes more sense.

Yeah I've never seen such a specific thing where it's "x points off if within a certain range of the required length," although I guess that's certainly more kind than rejecting everything that doesn't meet the length requirements.
