Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

Nassim Nicholas Taleb spent twenty-one years as a risk taker before becoming a researcher in philosophical, mathematical, and (mostly) practical problems with probability. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering.

I mean, at age 23 I'd have tried for the flâneur café-meditator bio but would never have thought to combine wanderlust with stated risk-taking

the platonic ideal bio for an edgy recent graduate is at most half as grandiose, he really went for it

i'd heard that he predicted the 2008 crash, for which i'd reluctantly grant him 'risk taker'

never ever any excuse for flâneur tho

predicting a crash means risk avoider right

I've heard of people doing this because they're diabetic or just one of those hangry types. I dunno.. It's not something I do, but I would do it if desperate. I wouldn't feel comfortable about it

And people facetiming in shops. The fuck.

got home from gym and decided to bypass the spot in front of my neighbor's house and parked at the end of the block because i could just pull in. after i parked i saw her leave her house and get in her car and move it up two spots to be in front of her house, then go back inside. utterly despicable behavior. our houses are like 12 ft wide.

Maybe I'm missing something. What harm did she do by moving her car? Aside from maybe wasting her own time and effort?

she didn't do any harm at all it was just so stupid

i had to get air this morning and stopped at a gas station. guy was parked right in front of the air thing with his car running. i waited a second thinking he'd get out and use the air. he did not. i had to pull in front of him, then turn the car around because the hose would not reach both tires i wanted to check. he was like, talking on the phone. there was plenty of room at this gas station for him to not sit in front of the air machine. i'm still mad at him.

what an ass

I parked near the air hose because the lot was pretty full once and someone pulled to the side behind me and I was overly apologetic and asking if they needed me to move! nah, they were just parking over there

People who get on an elevator and press the door closed button

time is money

Cinema-goers who laugh at every single line of dialogue in the film, whether it's funny or not. I feel I've brought this subject up here before but anyway it bears repeating.

mine is people who get in the lift and have time to wait for the door to close

I say slam that button

It’s not a ‘door closed’ button, it’s ‘door CLOSE,’ it’s an imperative, a command. I thiink you fail to see its functional role, this is why you fail to get with the goddamn program. it’s go time, get your stick and into the game.

Lol SUBMIT SUBMIT BUTTON eh?

I gotta say, I stayed in a hotel this past weekend where the elevator door closed immediately when I selected my floor, and it was super gratifying.

I think it'd be cool if the door just stayed open, like one of those paternosters.

extreme dopamine hit tbh xp

God, it felt good

If I get in a lift and there's nobody else in there I will stab the door open button until there is. Having a lift to yourself is a wasteful luxury.

(I'd take the stairs but it's 5 floors)

having a lift by yourself is an opportunity to DANCE.

To Radio 4?

(actually I'm not sure that's true. One of them certainly has radio 3 in it, because I can hear it from my desk, but I think the others are 1, 2 and 1xtra)

I know I'm old in disclosing but young people doing all the same poses when having their pics taken. The insta-pose is urghhhhh. I never liked posing for pics or people doing it.

Lol, recently had a vacation to Hawaii, and was struck by how every single beach visit featured youths spending their entire beach time doing elaborate selfie sessions.

there are so many art installations and pieces of architecture that are designed for instagrammability

there’s some traveling yayoi kusama thing that qualifies

I hit the door close button. I get mad at the people who hold the elevator for people who are still 7-10 seconds away when we are in a large elevator bank during rush hour.

F the gram, it’s a tool for narcissism

xpost I lived briefly near a beach in hawaii that was an extremely popular wedding photo spot. I would go out swimming and after 10 minutes see one huge wedding dress, then 3, then 5. They just kept multiplying.

xpost, I still really want to know why so many people take selfies while in the driver's seat of a car.

If you have a phone mount, it's pretty easy, I guess

Oh and re instagram: stop photoshopping yourself! Recently I saw a pic of my nail tech. She appeared to be half her size. Slim. It was a really bad photoshop: you could see curved lines which shld have been straight. Just stop it. So wrong.

And while I'm at it: it's very rude just to start filming/taking pics of people. Ask before you do. Urgh. Recently a client kept following me trying to take a selfie (w me in it). FU woman.

F the gram, it’s a tool for narcissism

Closer to the truth to say that the gram legitimizes and mainstreams narcissism

my car has really good lighting

Im both a door close button pusher and a door holder, tho i think im reasonable on durations. I can imagine being annoyed (and wrong) at the latter. I dont even get the former.

mh, which one is you

If it's a car phone mount, this halfway makes the most sense (I don't regularly drive, it never occurred to me). I couldn't decide if it was better or worse than taking a selfie in a bathroom. (I also don't ever take selfies of myself alone, so even though it's totally commonplace it's something I don't think I will ever understand).
