@beverlymantle1 yes the entire direction of american politics over the past 10 years and the iran war itself all being downstream of an extremely charismatic retard is a refutation of the great man theory of history

Aside from tanking the Trump admin, another reason that Iran is emotionally destabilizing rightoids is bc it's refuting strong versions of the Great Man theory of history in real time. Structures are more important than individuals, & decentralized, meshed social topologies work.

@CantShrugJacob @Aella_Girl Lmao

@Aella_Girl I imagine men are more suited for monogamy on average than women

"man goes along with stuff he doesn't really want to cause he doesn't wanna lose his woman" is how we get a lot of men forcing themselves into monogamy that they are absolutely not suited for

@mansourtarek_ @lyronctk what happens if like 100 people all get a winning bracket

@lyronctk The entire campaign has been centered around “1 in 120 billion” and how unlikely this is.

"The odds are not zero" is going down in the word smithing hall of fame, right next to "using the chain is permissionless"

@poke493 @TaliaGraceSable I think they’re talking about berkeley, which has unclimbably steep hills with nice houses and great views

@TaliaGraceSable A hill house?

Something I was warned about living in a hill house is that it's high friction to leave. I feel this, the house is a whole world, why drive for 30 min? But unless I cultivate a steady stream of visitors, I can see this eventually leading to social nutritional deficiencies

@climatepaige reminder that if you think nonmonogamy is wrong you are de facto homophobic as well

If you are polyamorous, you are not experiencing true intimacy. You do not want to love — your eternal and infernal desire is to BE loved. You want to absorb affection, admiration, and devotion from every source that unwittingly makes itself available to you, as if you’ve got a nutrient deficiency somewhere. The way you experience intimacy reminds me of the way a child pulls out a bag of sugar from the pantry when their parents aren’t looking. Though the child could taken any one of the smaller treats, they are instead greedily pawing raw sugar granules into their mouth, not caring how badly they will rot their teeth. Even as their stomach starts to hurt, they will still shovel the saccharides inside of them until they either vomit or pass out on the floor. Ultimately, you do not care about meaningful connections — you are instead intent on gorging yourself on every love source that you can get your hands on, regardless of whether or not you actually enjoy it, as if you are a prize farm hog, conditioned by your owner to overeat at the trough until you burst.

@AlphaxonP @Polymarket @PolymarketTrade @betmoardotfun i would happily bondcel more often but it seems like repeatable, high liquidity bonds are hard as hell to come by

@AlphaxonP @Polymarket @PolymarketTrade @betmoardotfun how much capital is being deployed on average

+7.24K in 2 weeks — every single day green in a row on bonds

@climatepaige @chowell2000 the word you're looking for is "rational"

@Huboid69 @chowell2000 You are all so painfully unsexy and removed from reality and true intimacy

@chowell2000 @climatepaige why? specifically, in a harm-based liberal framework that otherwise accepts individual agency, how is one relationship ethically distinct from the other?

@Huboid69 @climatepaige Even you know that’s a stupid analogy

@Aria_Babu @werldknot @shrimplici12164 watching a video is not the same as touching

@werldknot @shrimplici12164 Stated vs revealed preference. Every day men masturbate unwittingly to fake tits.

Most women underrate how much men care about looks. And when they do try to get more attractive they waste time and effort on tanning, contouring their face, getting their nails done. Instead, almost everyone could be considered attractive if they lost weight, grew their hair long, and cleared up their skin. All these things are within your control. There's other basic advice that should be obvious. Wear makeup everyday and go for a youthful, dewy look. Remove your body hair. Ditch your glasses. For the extreme looksmaxxers, focus on your body. Your face is probably fine and hard to change. Get a boob job, precisely control your weight, and do hourglass-enhancing exercises. You are no longer stuck with the looks God gave you. ariababu.co.uk/p/get-sexier

@Aria_Babu its somewhat more genetic, lots of men (myself included) would accept a bit of obesity for tremendous breasts. and female faces can often wear that extra fat adorably. being a sort of square unremarkable body type with a plain face is a hard hole to climb out of through hard work

@radarmentions The benefit of mentions is that there are such frequent events you get lots of feedback on exactly how well calibrated your models are Lots of politics stuff is all bespoke and not as quantitative

yup. we also see sharps moving on to other markets because of this. the market becomes more efficient, the big question is where it stabilizes. poker is an interesting comp bc the market became very solved and efficient, but once that happens it doesn't die - it just ends up sustaining the midtail of retail more bc they don't lose their asses quite as fast. but.. no market like this will sustain a massive edge for long :)

Tomorrow is another HUGE day for mentions: - Powell FOMC! - JD Vance Rally in Michigan! - Tulsi + Kash in a hearing! and more... A ton of new tools and alpha on MentionsTerminal.

@radarmentions everyone is behaving rationally, building sharper models and sizing up, but you end up in a situation where some of the big whales need thousands of fish to sustain their income. and dumb sports gamblers don't think about what words gavin newsom's gonna say on a tuesday morning

@Huboid69 sir this is a wendy's what happened to our mention markets super cycle :( we need more SOTU and more super bowls. only midterms and march madness can save us now.

@ShadowyZephyr @Adellama_ post scarcity will be spiritual normie genocide

@Adellama_ EXACTLY!!! people are like "but if i lived forever / had whatever i wanted i wouldnt know what to do" im like what??? then the person saying this spends 3 hours a day scrolling on social media which they would probably be doing anyway

why im not worried about meaning in post-scarcity

@climatepaige Do you think straight people in Ohio who are mad that gay people in san francisco are getting married are bad for feeling that way

SXSW! Invited to a DJ set at 11 pm tonight! California BFF in town! Unfortunately, I’ve exhausted myself by getting upset at polyamory all day. Can’t rally. Resolve to stay in, make hot chocolate, and put on a movie. Feel cozy. Polyamory just makes me so mad!!!!!!!!! But I probably just need to relax about it!

@alisha_hg @climatepaige Women more dispositionally fascist than men theory confirmed again

@climatepaige I fw your anti poly agenda, it should be illegal fr. Following

I baked cookies like these a few days ago and they were NOT for polyamorous men

@climatepaige @Romy_Holland this is analogous to how no one has ever divorced in human history for reasons unrelated to their sex lives

@Romy_Holland So they weren’t a problem until polyamory made them a problem!

You know who will not ever be in the picture if you want a life like this? Another woman

@benwfreeman1 need a market for this

Everyone thinks getting a perfect bracket is impossible, but I think it will happen in my lifetime. Yes, the odds are long, but with technology getting better, people’s brackets will get sharper, and one year, I’m sure there will be few upsets I’d put the over / under at 2050
