@achangeortwo @CCamosy Yep, about 78% once unanimous is added back in.

@CCamosy Agree 61% of the time *on non-unanimous decisions*. The consensus is even stronger

even the justices who are most disagreeable (Kagan and Alito) find themselves agreeing a whopping 61 percent of the time

Sometimes you’re just scrolling and you see pokerstars just woke up and chose violence. Commentators trashing my play last summer.

@PokerStars Look mom I’m famous. Pokerstars using me for ads. Believe this is day 3. Leon got 48th for 200k and I got 41st for 240k. Worked out okay for both of us. Not that weird to use a tight image to run a bluff 🤷🏻‍♂️

"Sometimes, somebody can play so weird..."

@glennwrites1 I think owner/manager should kick them out to enjoy honeymoon. That said, vast majority of people hate their job and dread mondays. Someone actually being excited about what they’re working on doesn’t seem like a bad way to live.

Absolutely disgusting Imagine living like this

@MarkL2243 @OverratedTakes @NickSchulman Yeah very dumb. I’m 99% sure I’m wasting my time with him or getting trolled, but if people wouldn’t have told me I was an idiot over and over on 2+2 back in the day, I’d probably believe some dumb shit too lol

@OverratedTakes @MarkL2243 @NickSchulman This just shows how little you know about Robl. He regularly plays 2k/4k and 3k/6k in games that have mandatory straddles and re-straddles. If you don’t think he can handle a rec at 10k/20k then idk what to tell you. He’s been crushing highest stakes in world for 20+ years lol.

@DylanRatigan @mattvanswol I’m very left wing but I think we can say that former leadership was wiped out. I don’t view that as a victory because this bites the US in the ass every time, but they can claim it as one. The real victory for me is that public tolerance of doing Israel’s bidding decreased.

@mattvanswol A sincere question from someone who is not affiliated with either political party: What exactly “worked” about the last 40 days of war? What was accomplished that Trump is not getting credit for?

The most predictable script in American politics: >Trump does something strong >Democrats and the media freak out >Everything Trump did works >Everyone moves on >No one gives him credit Every. Single. Time.

@OverratedTakes @MarkL2243 @NickSchulman lol my man you need a much much bigger bankroll for tournament play than cash game.

@rhpMike @MarkL2243 @NickSchulman You did articulate the different skills needed for both facets of poker - but you didnt point out the most important skill for cash games - which is your bankroll. I used to see Gman sot with $300,000 in a game on Hustler stream where Sashimi is sitting with $25,000. The only

@Floridagirl0850 This is more or less fair. I do wonder if it’s what you said about Biden, though.

I don't have an opinion on Iran because I am not privy to classified information and I'm not a foreign policy expert. I'm self-aware enough to understand any opinion I have would be ignorant. I hope whatever happens is best for America and all our military members come home safely. 🇺🇸

@Theholisticpsyc Do not do it. You won’t change them. They won’t change themselves. You’ll read into “good times” and talk yourself into it only to be crushed when the avoidance returns. Just so yourself a huge favor and leave now.

How to deal with someone with an avoidant attachment style:

@deagonx776 @BarExamTutor I don’t have strong opinion. Eg. I suspect driver’s test and driving ability are relatively uncorrelated. But also bothers me with something like a therapist or doctor where they’re able to hide their own (poor?) performance under the guise of protecting others.

@rhpMike @BarExamTutor I havent thought much about it, but I think the heuristic of "indicative of performance therefore should be public" has some obvious counterfactuals like HIPAA. Even students dont know their own bar scores to help protect test integrity. Overall I doubt it really matters.

Bar Exam score!? Only one score that matters to bar exam takers: pass.

@deagonx776 @BarExamTutor If there were a connection would you be in favor of it being publicly accessible?

@rhpMike @BarExamTutor I can see a *much* stronger connection between test performance and college performance than I can between test performance and attorney performance

@mhp_guy Could make this argument about just about anything.

Guys, you don’t have to know. You don’t have to know: What your sleep score is If they opened your email What percentage of calories you got from protein How many inches of rain we’ll get tomorrow What your testosterone levels are You think there’s no tradeoff to “having” to know all this stuff, but there is. Our brain only holds so much stuff. The more you spend thinking about your step count, the less time you spend thinking about a million other more important, meaningful things. The more you know, the less you wonder. You don’t have to know. (0% of this was written with AI. These are my thoughts as I mow the lawn. 70% of the replies below this will be AI and I already hate every single one of them. Meet my new nectarine tree. I track its caliper and height in a google sheet because I HAVE to know how much it grows every year.)

@AviBittMD I feel fine with doctors doing it for the money. I think they’re naive, bordering on foolish, if they complain about 250k salaries on twitter and expect a ton of sympathy.

Doctors are in it for a number of things, one of which is money. Some doctors are honest about that, but others aren't and will give you a lovely (but ultimately fake) story about only being in medicine for the reasons that sound better. What doctor would you rather have? Personally I'd prefer the real one who will be straight with me. But that's the thing about medicine: if you're the type of person who doesn't like an honest straight to the point attitude and prefers a fake but better feeling vibe, there's a doctor out there just like that who will also take your money!

@brandonschwa7 Ironically, LSAT tests for people who make incorrect inferences like this.

Why would you suggest that people choose their lawyer based on tests that have nothing to do with the realities of practice?

@ccabrera83 @BarExamTutor And if Sean our local Bar tutor is honest, he probably doesn’t want his cardio thoracic surgeon to be someone who struggled with mcat, did the minimum during residency and then failed board certification 4x either.

@ccabrera83 @BarExamTutor That’s fine but let lawyers own it. “Yeah I failed 4 times and then did the minimum to pass. That means I have perseverance and I won’t do extra on your case which will just cost you money.” I don’t want a surgeon who failed multiple times and then barely made it, nor a lawyer.

@BarExamTutor Yeah people say the same thing about the SAT and ACT but it turns out it actually does correlate strongly with college performance.

@rhpMike As an example, I’m really good at standardized tests, always have been. There’s no saying that would translate to the practice of law. And if that’s true for me, it should be just as true for people who struggle at these tests.

@BarExamTutor Knowledge of the law, for one. If passing and failing are not correlated at all to knowledge of skill, pretty awful test. But lawyers pretty regularly advertise a number of other things about their education, seems fair to know how they performed when competence was judged.

@rhpMike Conclusions, sure. Maybe one is better at standardized tests than the other. Stuff like that. Test specific stuff. One is better at multiple choice questions. What kind of conclusions do you have in mind?
