I am pleased to accept this new role de oportunidad por el presidente del pueblo de Afganistán.
These very nice men I met de parte de un story telling group told me I am now un Imam. ¡Soy conmocionado, pero I accept their compliment y also esta presidencia!
¡Viva Afganistán!
Edit: Chapos, qué preguntas should I be asking these story tellers? They are called el “tale y ban” and I want to do un buen trabajo.
I do not know much about Islam, but I am determined to learn. This group of storytellers, el “tale y ban”, have agreed to teach me. They are very kind men and have many expensive guns like all talented writers!
While the Taliban have been making rapid gains — particularly since U.S.-led forces began a withdrawal in May — few experts see a complete takeover of the capital as imminent.
Lib technocratic experts were so fucking wrong lmao
Every time it happens, it reminds me that Nassim Nicholas Taleb really does have a good bead (is that a phrase, or did I just make something up?) things. He points out in both Fooled by Randomness and Black Swan how absolutely terrible pundits and other species of prognosticators are at doing their “job.” Just…daily you can watch them get every god damn thing wrong, but since they wear a serious face when they say dumb shit, audiences pretend this is Important Work and buy in. No learning from mistakes, ever.
lmao, post of the year candidate
