See…THIS is what I do enjoy about pro sports (which I generally don’t watch)
I ADORE the teammate tapping his head in appreciation to the teammate who hucked the ball.
I love that shit.

We’ve discussed the stratification of media production like a β€œconspiracy” for decades now

Which is why Aaron’s lil jab pisses me off

'The government must not weaken copyright law, and should instead strengthen licensing, transparency & enforcement.
The government should stop prioritising large multinational tech firms'

we also beat these games via folklore, and dubiously reliable playground word of mouth. there was a lot of lying and myth-making. friends would come sit around the computer with you after school and mash in guesses. very few of us ever beat them β€œwithout help”.

adventure games from the 80s were intentionally designed to be tricky, mean and occasionally counterintuitive so that you could get stuck for long periods of time. this was called β€œvalue for your dollar”

Crazy story: A bank analyst published a report showing Kalshi users lose money even faster than sports gamblers, so Kalshi first tried to pressure the data provider to change their data and then accused them and the analyst of conspiring to extort them when that doesn’t work.

If you’re a Words person who’s been tutored by a Numbers person or vice versa, you have an idea of what it’s like to be taught by a prodigy. They struggle to explain foundational principles cuz *they* don’t know how they know what they know: they don’t need them to arrive at the correct answers.
