We coulda had Bernie...
  • Perhaps in some primaries you had the odd candidate here and there who opposed continued weapons sales to Israel, but the presidential election has absolutely not had it 'on the the ballot' because that would imply you had one candidate who had a significantly different stance on the issue to the other.

  • Rule people
  • That seems a little glib to me. Not all stories are lies, not all stories have happy endings, some victors are known now thousands of years after their death. On a cosmic timescale I suppose that, trivially, nothing matters - but, conversely, the cosmic timescale is so vast that it doesn't matter to us...

    Also I couldn't really parse what you were saying in your second paragraph so I'm gonna leave that there

  • Economics
  • J (technically it's a whole unique programming language with a learning curve that's arguably more of a learning cliff, but it's very heavily geared towards maths and also has some nice graphing modules)

  • Start ups when that VC funding kicks in
  • Plenty of my real friends are people I used to work with back before I was married and stopped getting as much out of this sort of culture.. There doesn't need to be some hard line here - just because you work with people doesn't mean you can't be friends

  • If at first you don't succeed...
  • Children are often shit at it, and have full on screaming meltdowns several times in a few minutes when something doesn't go immediately their way

    Otoh little bastards don't have a choice so they gotta suck it up

  • A little kid would have stood even less of a chance than the swan
  • Swans bones are less strong and dense that yours unless you've got osteoporosis or maybe are, like, two. Think the whole thing about a swan breaking a bone is pretty much urban myth - I remember looking for a single reported instance of it happening once and giving up after an hour or so
