If anything it's maybe more impressive that he put up as many points as he did considering they were just hacking the shit out of him

Most normal people understand that to make 43 free throws you must have gotten fouled a lot. If the Wizards didn't want him shooting that much, they should have fouled him less. Also, watching the shots he *did* make - he was getting fouled a ton without them being called.

And, I mean - if you want to be a corrupt senator and cozy up to Trump, that's not hard to do.

I think the only issue for Mullins could be that either a) he has the IQ of a room temperature potato, or b) if Trump wants him to do, saying no could be a problem (corruption cuts both ways)

Yeah, but if they hate being in the senate it is not for reasons that would get better heading DHS.

"If you can't define what a woman is then you certainly can't define what fraud is".

I literally laughed out loud at this because I read the headline and thought "surely that's not how people are spelling Target with a french accent".

And mind you - I have two boys and no girls. So, like, I could kinda see where he was coming from and yet wanted no part of that philosophy. To hear him now argue things that are categorically sexist... it just makes a lot of sense.

I'm gonna be honest - from the second I saw people spewing his "issues with men today"... it felt gross. It wasn't easy to put my finger on it, but the general vibe that "we need to be doing more for boys" which very much felt like a "we have done too much for girls" never sat right with me.

Right, the issue is that handwritten at home can still equal LLM generated at home and transcribed.

Right, that was always the case, but I think this might also move you away from homework assignments being worth any meaningful share of your grade to making that all about quizzes and midterms.

Ummm... I'm 20 years removed from college but I'm pretty sure we need a Chemistry department. And I say that as a former engineering student.

I have to assume that college profs (especially those in upper divison courses) will start more and more leaning into on-site tests.

You can't do that for like a 500 person class (shoutout CHEM 301), but for a 30 person class I would 100% only grade things done in-classroom.

It is *economically* infeasible - that it would lead to $30 burgers. The real reason is racism, the stated reason is the economy. And the Nordic countries give you proof that it is economically feasible - and in fact, the only barrier to it *is* racism.

"hey, then we shouldn't emulate the Nordic *economic* politics because their *racial* ones are just as bankrupt as ours".

The conclusion should be "let's emulate their economic politics AND keep fighting for racial equality".

The argument that conservatives use to stop better safety nets is that

Here's how I see it: the Nordic countries show you that you can provide strong safety nets and still have a strong economy.

What you are saying is that racism gets in the way of being able to implement that and that even Nordic countries are not immune to it.

But the conclusion then shouldn't be

Sorry, you mean a shift in the direction of heterogeneity?

I mean yeah, the point is that America could be a great country with better social safety nets and less racism - we don't have better safety nets in part because those would disproportionately benefit brown people, and we're racist as fuck

And that population is overwhelmingly pro guns & Jesus, and squarely anti abortion, immigrants and LGBTQ - and they will do as many mental gymnastics as necessary to give the government power to enforce rules against the latter while preventing it from enforcing rules against the former

Lol are you serious?
I'm a cis, white passing naturalized US citizen and I don't feel particularly safe here.

"Most of them are happy as long as you don't trespass on their land"

Are you basing this off of watching Landman or something? Almost 70% of Texans live in the 4 major metro areas (1/2)

Didn't they *just* get a bunch of important wins to win back control of the state?

As someone who is technical, what I always tell people is that the two most dangerous people (in a good way) are the soft skills person with the best technical skills, and the technical person with the best soft skills.

It reminds me of Julian Sayin vs. Texas this last season - yes, he wasn't spectacular, but he was going up against a really good defense while his own defense wasn't allowing anything. When your defense is balling out, sometimes you just need to not lose the game.

I hope all of the old and racist people are crashing out right now

And I've seen it in machine learning where someone will look at a model and go "oh, it's not picking up your categorical variables becauseyou set your max depth parameter too low relative to your alpha parameter". Bro what are you on right now?

I've seen it with musicians - "oh, yeah so he's playing a syncopated mixolydian over the major 7th but then borrowing the 6th from the next chord". Bitch what? I would have had to write all of it down note by note and probably still wouldn't know what happened.

I always see that with experts, how they know so much and have seen it so many times that they develop a "feel" that for other people would be like hours of analysis.

Andrew Schulz and many of those podcast bros who platformed Trump seem incredibly uncomfortable being on the hook for it and it should follow them for he rest of their careers.

But it's even worse if *on top of that* people start arguing that you don't even deserve to legally be in the Continental US. You're already getting screwed, this just adds insult to injury.

Oh, I don't disagree with that at all. That's part of the problem - that even though Puerto Ricans are in theory American, they don't get the same rights as the residents of all other states.
