Last night while drunk, I made the most delicious cheese steak. I was standing in my kitchen and didn't even bother to sit down. Just munching down on that delicious sloppy mess, smiling to myself like an idiot. I can conform that a good meal is up there for sure.

Now you're talking my language. And sometimes the impromptu meals are among the best. One time, I get home at 5, at 5:10 I get a call from girl I knew in Uni--we were never a thing, just friends--and she's like, "I'm in town for one night. Want to have supper together at 6?"

Naturally, I volunteered to cook and invited her over with literally no food in the house. So, off I go to the IGA and grab salad makings and a couple of nice pork chops to pan fry and dash back home. Her reaction, "You cooked this?" LOL And yeah, it was simple yet pretty damned good; didn't get me laid though LMAO.

Both, I think. Point 9 (about SS) is phrased a bit weakly, which I think is somewhat appropriate (as it's kind of speculative).

Side note, I was also a bit annoyed by this: "it’s a decisive recognition of half a dozen points that those of us on the left side of the macroeconomic debate have been making for years." For example, Summers is the most prominent supporter of that point, and few would describe him as being on the left side of the macroeconomic debate (left of center relative to the population, of course, and far to the left of Republicans, but in terms of the field, he's not on the left--and he's often portrayed as a villain by the left). These are matters of objective reality, independent of ideological leaning, and when they're phrased as if they are, I think it takes away from the seriousness of it, and suggests a model where everyone is just arguing that what they want to be true is true.

Is that from the article or PK’s tweet.

From the article I found this to be out there as well.

“In short, just as a generation of mainstream macroeconomic theory was retconned into an after-the-fact argument for an inflation-targeting central bank, what we need now is textbooks and theories that bring out, systematize and generalize the reasoning that justifies a great expansion of public spending, unconstrained by conventional estimates of potential output, public debt or the need to preserve labor-market incentives. “


I mean we can all agree the austerity does not work and that there seems to be evidence that SS and H are real (although more empirical work should be done to see the when, how much, proper policy response, etc.). But to go from that to the above is batshit in my opinion. Also @PolishHeadlock2

Well, for that good deed you did of cooking that delicious meal, life has paid you back in full with your current wife who is always baking and cheffing it up for you.

From the piece.

Yeah, that's along the same lines. The guy comes off as caring more about promoting ideology than searching for truth (though I think he's right on most of the factual claims he makes, and he expresses them well).

I don't assume karma is real, but I assume it can't hurt to live my life as though it were.

For real, though, I never expected anything to happen--she was an old friend and that's just what you do, I think.

The fun for me was her amazement at how good it was. Back before my wife spoiled me I enjoyed cooking a bit here and there, though nothing beyond beginner level.

Man I love cheesesteaks. sometimes the food is too good to even sit down. You just eat over the sink like a savage.


But yeah a great meal is the only thing, IMO, That is up there with great sex. And sometimes you’re so hungry you’d take food over sex.

Why not both?

One of my most toxically masculine traits is my hatred for men who make too much fuss about their hair. Every time I go to get a haircut, I give some vague instructions and let them do their thing.

My hair is extraordinarily difficult to cut and I resent your post very deeply
