Living the algorithmic dream
But the idea that the game is over is an assumption in the “if wait” scenario

There is a possibility that time is remaining where they can recover the onside kick and kick a field goal

You don’t think scientific research takes into consideration emotions and feelings?

Come on .. lol

AI scans for sources and arguments

Why would you who insists on the dogma of statistical model dismiss using it?
November 29, 2025 at 3:51 AM
What’s the joke? Would posting an article make it more legit ?
November 29, 2025 at 3:49 AM
I lean towards the counter argument.

Let’s not act like these statistics or the models capture everything.

This was not some easy call.

Every Eagle player and coach and everyone in the stands and at home knew it was over when they missed that 2pts.
November 29, 2025 at 2:42 AM
But the game was ostensibly over anyway when they missed the 2pts

There is an X factor of motivation

All motivation gone when you don’t make the 2pts

But make the easy kick - Motivation to get the ball back and score & get 2pts is high

& Let’s not pretend there some concrete stat either way
November 29, 2025 at 2:34 AM
Yeah that’s the point. We see this same story over and over again.

We didn’t kick out all Italians & now they are a positive part of the fabric of America.

Millers hypothesis is that these cultures can’t assimilate. But it’s pure xenophobia & racism because he wouldn’t say that about Italians.
November 28, 2025 at 4:04 PM
Does Miller want to send all Italians back to Italy since the Italian mobs killed countless people in this country?

🤔

I will never forgive the spineless and weak Merrick Garland
November 26, 2025 at 12:28 AM
I’d like you to ask her thoughts on Garland’s handling of January 6th. Why wasn’t a special council appointed immediately? Trump tried to overturn the election with fake electors. The pressure on Pence. Pressure on Georgia officials. This was out in the open.

He allowed him to get away with it.

She knows that she will get a Pardon.

When trump outrageously pardoned all the Jan 6th rioters including the ones that assaulted police and there was no political consequences - it proved that his minions can act with impunity and have no fear of consequences.

I think apathy from many who know this is wrong is a bigger problem than the people who are being hysterical.
October 6, 2025 at 12:56 AM
they are laying the groundwork for a bunch of possibilities to stay in power through some authoritarian means.

1) use ice & the military to shut down polling stations in Dem cities because they are “rigged”

2) dismantle Dem orgs and prosecute political opponents for “terrorism”

3) start a war

Yeah I’ll live in the “fantasy” that MLK and the civil rights movement led to meaningful change including the ending of Jim Crow, desegregation and the civil rights act.

I’m sure those things would have happened anyway without MLK and a huge protest movement.

Yikes…
October 5, 2025 at 6:19 PM
Do you think the Jim Crow laws were abolished because one day everyone in positions of power in government decided ‘hey this is bad?’

Or do you think it was the result of relentless outrage, protests, and the civil rights movement?

If there isn’t relentless outrage, we will end up like Hungary.

Fascism is already here - it’s just not evenly distributed

Taken from Michelle Goldberg who was paraphrasing a William Gibson quote about the future.
October 5, 2025 at 12:27 PM
The people who think we live under full fascism are more likely to be the ones in the streets protesting. Quibbling with people about authoritarian actions & whether that meets the textbook definition of full fledged fascism is what makes people complacent & ok with what is happening.
October 5, 2025 at 11:53 AM
we have an executive that is doing authoritarian things, threatening fascist actions & hollowing out parts of the government including the military & the justice department replacing them with loyalists. But yeah ..when we are completely fascist I probably can’t speak freely. Let’s not get there?
October 5, 2025 at 5:47 AM
They just gathered all the military leaders

In the speech to all the military leaders, Trump demonized the left and talked about using the military to fight the enemy from within.

I mean .. come on ..
October 5, 2025 at 4:58 AM
They are laying down the groundwork to empower ICE and the military to combat the left wing “terrorists”.

They are making their intentions clear.
October 5, 2025 at 4:53 AM
There have been instances of fascist type actions by past American administrations

Whether we enter into a “fascist country” is a matter of degree

But just listen to Trump and Stephen Miller rhetoric we are heading there. Wake the F up!
October 5, 2025 at 4:22 AM
Everyone recognizes the Japanese internment as a horrible thing that was done and a black eye to FDR’s legacy

So what is the point here?

Yes, Trump is doing horrible things but it’s not fascist because there have been an instance of a similar horrible thing that happened in the past

Ok? 👍

We should not be forcing people back into the office just to artificially boost downtown economy. if anything, we should encourage more remote work. I think it makes people more productive and happier. Also it significantly reduces people’s carbon footprint. Win-win.
