He got that the environment is decentralized, but it's decentralized by an opaque algorithm controlled by large corporations. It's the opposite of radically transparent.
It's not an abstract question, it's a specific one!
Saw another reply post saying “nobody will be punished for any of the administration’s crimes” in response to a post saying there need to be charges. Again, I say: fuck doomerism. You don’t have to be 100% convinced justice will be done but being the opposite is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
And an awful answer!
Social media is a completely different category
Do you think it’s wise to make diagnosis, without any skill or training, from a handful of pictures?
Are you a medical professional?
No, it's not just fox anymore. It's lots of local outlets, and social media.
It’s extremely silly to pretend the incumbency advantage doesn’t exist.
To be fair #3 is in large part due to a judicial coup that ended the prosecution.
Agreed. Dooming piss baby’s are absolutely pathetic.
and the mainstream media dismissed calling attention to it as hysterical!
"You do not count and your opinions are no longer valid" is certainly not the same as "You are not eligible for one specific job" which is my argument.
750,000 people not having a rep is extremely bad! The problem with "the people voted for them" argument is there's a well known incumbency and name recognition advantage such that people vote in congress people who are extremely old and/or sick.
In the same way I don't want a 75 year old pilot, I don't want a 75 year old congressperson. Let someone who is 45 or 50 do the job.
You and I fundamentally disagree. There's an implicit assumption in your argument that the person in office is the best person to do the job when in reality there are hundreds or thousands of people who can do the job just as well or better. There's no need for the olds to hold onto these seats.
The rule I'd make to exclude people who are sick is mandatory retirement at age 72, where incidence of major illness are much higher.
You don't have to look very far to find members of congress who are infirmed and absent for other reasons. Gerry Connolly ran for congress despite having aggressive cancer. So did Raul Grijalva.
In a 6-3 unsigned ruling, the Supreme Court finds that being alive isn’t a requirement of being president; allows Trump to serve remainder of term.
are you either or a lawyer or a journalist because this post shows evidence of being neither!
You went from being the smart, nuanced data guy, to the takes guy. Now when people disagree with your (often) bad takes, you get defensive.
I think one problem you have, is you post on the site that is run by a propagandist, and pretend that you're immune from the propaganda. For example, you claimed that Joe Rogan was just "weird". This is not a reasonable take, it's one influenced by the propaganda you see all day on twitter.
Got it, thanks for answering. I'm not familiar with the author so it seemed like a banal write up to me, but I don't have the same lens you do to read it.
The article seems completely anodyne to me. Is there anything you found objectionable besides the author and editor?
Unfortunately there is limited supply of concert seats and extremely high demand. The solution is non-transferable tickets but that also comes with downsides.
Also, and unfortunately, not using dynamic pricing just forces high prices onto the secondary market. See, for example, the US leg of the oasis tour.
Swift wasn’t the first to use dynamic pricing, and she is the reason artists can opt out.
This is incorrect.
I will attack anyone who comes and shits on optimism. Leave it elsewhere. Do something else.
I’ve got absolutely no patience for this doomer, pessimist bullshit. If you’re going to respond to someone sharing some optimism like this, go get some Xanax instead.
Instead of offering these pissbaby counter points, consider shutting the fuck up and finding a productive way to channel your anxiety!
Hope it's just a bummer and not a budget buster for you!

is this kayfabe?
I think it’s a little silly to say people can’t distinguish between someone being genuine and someone pretending to be genuine.
I think this gives too little credit to the cowardly collapse of other institutions, and specifically the Court. The Court is well equipped to deal with this, has authority, and plain text of statute and constitution, but chose to ignore it.
No change for me

Day 4: The inside story of Biden’s hands according to 25 people who won’t go on the record and a doctor with a history of donating to republicans
the last sentence is true of the entire skeet
Yes, he’s shown real bravery. It also illuminates the cowardice of people like Thomas Griffith who continues to equivocate and hedge.
Yup
I'm just calling out that his actions haven't demonstrated it. He's repeatedly had off-ramps where he had free votes but has chosen to be a complete and total ideologue, needlessly.
He used to be concerned about the Court's reputation, but there's no evidence of that concern in recent years.
He said another state or two and they clearly could gerrymander more aggressively to counteract Indiana, Missouri or an already aggressively gerrymandered Florida.
A combo of low onshore production, regulatory costs, and extremely high labor costs.
She got her son exactly what she wanted!
Oh, looks like they changed the metric to be distance based: www.bts.gov/content/amtr...
IIRC on time is considered within 30 minutes of schedule... so late.
Have had the same experience. Slow, verbose in thinking, and often wrong.
the launch video is pretty unequivocal about who it targets though.
They also greatly benefited from ZIRP, going 11 years from founding to turning a quarterly profit.
I only gave you a like because I hated it
Ross is just absolutely brain poisoned.
This is an artifact of the IRA, no? Lease prices on EV surely won't have $7500 discounts when it expires next month.
Note that I said Lilly, the owner of the patent on tirzepatide.
I believe Ilan Wurman has been tapped as this years leader of "dogshit, a-historical, anti-consititutional" takes
I'll pay the Lilly cash pay prices while I have an income, but if I ever lose my job I'm going straight for the grey market.
Do you have a fun time being a dipshit reply guy?
I like that we're making up new (fake) criteria to be president after 45 and 47. Give me a fucking break.
What's the point of this sniveling pussy bitch statement? Absolute loser shit.
I can't listen to that song because its so good and gets stuck in my head for a week straight
When you're a skilled negotiator you don't have to pay any attention to reality!
Yes, good things are good and should be applauded and bad things are bad and should be criticized. I don't understand why some people struggle with that.
This is exactly right. He could have continued his thoughtful level headed analysis instead he rots his brain on the nazi site and comes up with dogshit takes.
christ how is this guy still alive?
That’s not quite true — they mention some of his other efforts like the military parade and frame it as a whacky fun thing the president is doing!
in a 6-3 unsigned ruling, SCOTUS rules that congress does not have the power to pass laws
This fucking dipshit lived through the event and can't even remember it correctly. Bork was voted down by members of both party, because he was unqualified. At least refresh your recollection with a fucking wikipedia article.
have you been to any other cities?
I don’t think that’s true about chua, she supports and promotes conservatives!
Why write stupid things on the internet?
Bingo. ZIRP solved the funding problem.
Zirp, as well as business model lessons, and regulatory arbitrage (gig work) solved that problem.
The dot com bubble burst not because of insufficient demand, it was insufficient capital to fund the loss at the levels they were losing. Webvan had plenty of demand but not enough capital to improve its unit economics.
They are all unprofitable companies that went out of business or got acquired for parts
At one point pets.com, webvan, grab, windsurf weren’t profitable….
Just to clarify -- I have no idea what I'm talking about, it was just a gut feel.
Being in a bubble and high demand are not mutually exclusive. Also Altman says they're turning *users* away, not customers. Paying customers get prioritized.
I would have thought the Nuclear plants would have been bonded along time ago and/or them coming online would have reduced supply costs.
I don’t think it’s a safe bet anymore to say any case is to inappropriate for this comically corrupt and ideological court.
On the other other hand, they’ve shown no interest in taking the numerous chances they’ve had to demonstrate that
They can certainly try but it’s silly to say manchin and sinema could be convinced! They wrote op-eds about how great the filibuster is!
Rubbing candidates everywhere all the time is good actually!
Stop spamming this, Jesus Christ
Yes it’s a valid idea and no, you shouldn’t look to other countries because other countries don’t have the US constitution and system of governance.
I don’t think there was anything that could be done to manchin or sinema, including bribes. Manchin is a rich moron who doesn’t give a fuck and sinema just liked being a smug bitch and getting bribes from her corporate daddy’s.
I know you have it smoothed to months, but it's so wild to not have the ups and downs of "normal" diet and exercise weight loss. Insane how consistent it is.
hoping that voters, who are gerrymandered out of a meaningful vote, will penalize their reps isn't enough for you?!?
An equally plausible fiction is voters reward democrats for finally acting like a minority party and fighting fire with fire. But again, voters only care about material conditions.
This is fantasy and an extremely silly thing to write after correctly pointing out that gerrymandering dilutes the influence of voters. Voters can’t punish them at the polls! The second paragraph is also silly, voters have repeatedly shown they don’t care about democratic norms. Pure fantasy.
Non specific “we” should pass laws to ban it; neglecting to mention that democrats had done exactly that in 2021 and received 0 republican votes.
Did you read the conclusion?
Again, framing this a both sides issues is completely unserious.
It does not engage with the downside! It just says gerrymandering is political and bad (which it is). It does not engage with the material consequences of continued blue state unilateral disarmament. The ire should be at Texas, and the article fails to identify whom is at fault.
All of these op-eds that fail to engage with the downsides of not doing it are completely unserious. The ed boards use of a both sides framing is equally ridiculous. The modern gerrymander is a republican invention, empowered by the republican Supreme Court unilaterally rewriting the VRA
I mean, yes, but part of being in congress is putting on a show. The real thing that needs to be added is "if he lies, I'll hold him in contempt and have the Sargent at arms arrest him."
Paging Greenwald, Glenn Greenwald please come to the white courtesy phone.
