I love what appears to be a citation.

Yes. It’s probably the friendliest Linux distro. But there’s still a learning curve so don’t go in thinking it’s as plug and play as Windows.

Actually, that part I’m not worried about. Jackbox is one of my friends go-to end of party games. It’s all through your phone and accommodates a good amount of people, slightly game dependent.

That third one is just cheating.

These arguments are kind of dripping in slippery slope fallacy. That’s a potential outcome but by no means the only one. I’d hazard that’s a pretty worst case interpretation. I think your average person doesn’t evaluate themselves solely through the lens of economic value. Capitalismwould nudge people toward your slope, but I don’t think humans would totally cooperate with the effort.

I’ve told people before, as a non-smoker, that smoking would be the ultimate social activity if it weren’t for all the cancer and assorted negative health outcomes. You’ve got an idle habit that many people also engage in. It requires that people come closer together to share the disposal resources. It then requires that you hold still and fidget with a small stick for several minutes every time you do it. And nothing else. It’s hard to beat a set of conditions to get people to idly interact with each other that’s better than that.
But, you know, cancer…

I’d be shocked if that was possible. Though I wouldn’t hate being able to do crafting/gathering from my phone.

And to trick them into banking ranked choice voting.

There’s an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it’s really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.
If you’re in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.

In this case, nothing. High dose testosterone is a hormone, high is a hormone. Both are PEDs (performance enhancing drugs). Now, the difference between them is a bit more interesting.
Testosterone, the original steroid, makes you big by maximizing your existing muscles (super paraphrased, as is everything I’m about to say). It’s the one that gives you breasts and shrinks your balls (for those that have them).
Human growth hormone makes you big by inducing the creation of new muscle. As well as everything else. The stand outs being the heart, which you really don’t want to grow, and the intestines, which gave bodybuilders roidgut.
Like I said, very paraphrased, but that’s the gist of it. And doesn’t touch more advanced things like tren.

They shouldn’t be plotted that way technically. The big 5 are independent traits so they should essentially be sliders, not linked like that.
That said, it’s way easier to see the points when you do that. Easy to miss when colors swap, for example, without the lines when you’ve been looking at this stuff for a few hours.

Fair enough. A lesson in “not every bad take is Russian”.

Shocking. What’s the over/under on that person being a Russian troll?

When I was doing my 2 second google search, I spotted the whitehouse.gov link (and it’s what reminded me about Ketanji Brown Jackson), but figured the person I was responding to would mark that as biased.

You haven’t actually commented on anything recent, just vague references to his non-presidency years (people are allowed to change). Nor have you shown that any of the listed presidents were more progressive. Your argument is “nuh uh”. You claim he failed. How? You didn’t even take the low hanging fruit of “Isreal” or “continued border bullshit”.
Here, I’ll start: nominated the first black woman to the supreme court. More low hanging fruit, but you’ve set the bar rather low. He’s been doing quite a lot for the LGBT community, which is a pretty big reversal from his past.
See. Two sentences, one source, and now there’s substance. Now. Refute me.
- Comment on Hero 9 months ago:
That’s a pretty contrived setup. If the two top components are not factored into the performance of the whole and they are both defined by their ability to improve other components, then the one doing it’s own thing is not, in fact, a top performer. It’s task is to support others and it fails to do so.
And what if the loner’s task is foundational? It doesn’t have much direct output, but if he’s gone and everything else goes to shit? Those ones are very hard to measure. I know, that’s been my job for a good portion of my career. And things like that are common. Expecting a given performer, say an engineer, to also be good at public speaking has always struck me as impractical.

That makes sense. I feel like if you’re at the point where pi is meaningfully involved, you should probably do your math.

I suppose. I’m still internally outraged and haven’t run into such a situation before, but I accept this.

Excuse me what? I’ve been an engineer for a decade and have never met anyone that would do that. We have calculators.
