Twitter delusions: • Follower count = Someone's worth as a human • I'll be content once I get X Followers • My next Tweet will be the one that goes viral • The next Tweet in my feed will be interesting

@thonlyonee Taxing would reduce the total amount of advertising and could be counterbalanced by reducing taxes in other areas.

@JamesADamore I agree with what you've written on this; we can do except taxing. This would be passed on to the consumer and, in my opinion, would not be an effective countermeasure.

More seriously, the recent dismantling of DEI programs shows how a legal/political push can cause a preference (falsification) cascade, akin to the USSR's sudden collapse after Berlin's Wall fell. Rather than revealing an objective truth about DEI, this reflects the cyclical nature of cultural trends: cool→mainstream→oppressive→overthrown→rebellious→cool again

Time vindicates the truth

@Chris34259480 With 2 players, you pick first 3 times and second 3 times so you'll always have at least 15 cards (3 * 3 + 3 * 2), which is how much you need. With 3 players, you pick second twice so you'll always have at least 16 cards.

@JamesADamore Can you prove that after enough rounds all players will have enough cards to form a sufficient number of hands? Suppose someone always picks a row or column with two cards... Is he or she always forced to eventually get more cards to have sufficient cards for the scoring round?

I created a quick poker game for 2-3 drafters using a standard deck of cards. The next two tweets are all you need to play. For more details, visit: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3804…

@GregoryMakles Yep, if you really want those 2 cards. Note, for 3 players, the third person to choose gets all the remaining 3-4 cards in the grid.

@Chris34259480 You pick in order and you can choose a row/column that only has 2 cards remaining if you really want those 2 cards. For 3 players, the third person to choose gets all the remaining 3-4 cards from the grid.

@JamesADamore Once someone picks a row or column... You can no longer pick some rows or columns. I assume you go in order and must pick any REMAINING row or column of at leadt 3. Is correct?

@GregoryMakles You're correct, the next player has to choose a different row/column and the game supports only 2-3 players for that reason.

Scoring Each player builds 3 poker hands of 5 cards each. Jokers are wild, but can only be used in straights and/or flushes. Compare your hands, best from worst. For example, the player on the right lost the first hand, but won the next two, making them the winner.

Goal Build the 3 best poker hands. Setup Shuffle the deck, including Jokers, then deal 9 cards in a 3x3 grid. How to Play Each player chooses a row or column and takes all its cards. After everyone has chosen, redeal the grid and rotate which player picks first. Draft 6 grids.

@GordoRabinowitz Do you have any examples?

@JamesADamore The employers have spines.

What are examples of employees NOT being fired after getting mobbed online? What do these have in common?

In many languages, the days are named after these specific celestial bodies (or their associated gods). Sunday: Sun Monday: Moon Tuesday: Mars (Tiw) Wednesday: Mercury (Woden, AKA Odin) Thursday: Jupiter (Thor) Friday: Venus (Frige) Saturday: Saturn en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_…

The days of the week are named after celestial bodies and gods. Thursday is Thor’s day!

Facebook bragged about doubling their number of female employees since 2019, but didn’t mention that it was from doubling their total workforce… about.fb.com/news/2022/07/m…

@BottomStructure Yes, it's a parody of a popular design:

@JamesADamore This constitutes a "design"? LMAO

@sh4ckl3f0rd The context is the slogan "The Future is Female"

@JamesADamore Context?
