@Mario_Demiuex @redrock_bball Great, then I’m sure he’ll get max offers elsewhere, or he’ll take the qualifying offer and get them next season, right?

@redrock_bball He helped anchor Detroit’s defense all season while contributing on offense and was named third team All NBA and All-Star teams.
Detroit earned their top seed due in large part to him.
He met the standard to earn the higher wages.
It’s unreasonable not to pay.

Denying a player his rightful compensation for what he has accomplished on the court can never be the “right” choice.

The stalling of Jalen Duren seems to be blamed on second apron (as is everything) limiting what players get paid. But i think Detroit not wanti to give him $50m a year due to the way the system is setup is actually good for the league and the pistons team. Sure it sucks for Duren to not get auto maxed as many teams blindly did in the past and he thinks he is being robbed because he’s all nba and just deserves that, but teams having more discernment in how they pay players makes it better for all players in general, as well as parity and teams being able to build rosters. If Detroit paid him that, do they then full max Ausar next season? Then try to fill out with minimums and see the Cade era burn down due to no help? Duren not getting $50m a year may hurt him and his agent, but it is overall a good thing for the nba and the playing cohort as a whole.

@FarazJaka @WSOP I think the only bluffs are Ah-10h or Ah-6h? Most likely AQ, and bluffs represent a pretty small part of the range.
I think folding to the check raise was probably best. After you call an ace is about the only card you’re happy to see.

Tough spot @WSOP Main Event.
Hand 20: K♦️Q❤️ HJ (55k)
LJ good player (42.1k) raise 900, I call , BB call.
K❤️T♣️6♠️ checks to me I bet 1200 , BB and LJ call.
J❤️ I bet 4k, LJ checkraise to 11k I call
4♠️ He jams all-in 29k
Call or fold? What bluffs can we beat?

@FieldHight61794 @zachweinberg @ShaggyKC @christopherrufo I’ll cut 50% of the military budget if you cut 50% of welfare
English
@zachweinberg @ShaggyKC @christopherrufo Do you agree to cut the military budget? How about stop bombing countries in the Middle East and creating refugees? I suspect you don’t agree with those and I would kindly tell you to shut the fuck up, rich bitch.

We're already here. Billionaire tax became $50m tax in 3 weeks. Soon it will be anyone with $1m in home equity.
Why? Because you MUST tax the middle class to raise any real amount of money to cover the spending Ro and others want to spend.
It's always a middle class tax.

@JasonDoesTwitta Obviously there shouldn’t ever be another Nadu, but there can be cards that are so powerful that they warp the entire format around them and I don’t think that’s good for the long term health of standard

@redrock_bball Everything now moving forward is about finding the few individuals you can trust to be honest. However the general population has a habit of misconstruing people they like or agree with for people who are trustworthy.
English
@redrock_bball The problem is all the larger Institutions have blown all their credibility so many times over in the last 10 years that nobody trust anything or anyone. “The intellectuals” are the ones who caused this, there is no fixing it anymore, and AI will make it worse.

I know it sort of goes without saying, but anti-intellectualism and fear of data and numbers is becoming a huge problem

@RelieaYuell @thinbluesublime @NJBeisner Can you think of any non fetus human beings that don’t qualify as people under your guidelines?
English
@JasonDoesTwitta @thinbluesublime @NJBeisner Our cognition, our ability to reason and apply active and passive knowledge to new situations, to have preferences that transcend need or biology, awareness of ourselves and our relationship to other humans/creatures/environment and more than one tweet can contain.

Woman: “So you don’t think it’s killing a human being?”
Dean Withers: “No, I do.”
Woman: “And you’re ok with that?”
Dean: “Yes.”
🙄
At least he admits it, I guess? So often they won’t admit that they’re perfectly fine with killing innocent humans.

@RelieaYuell @thinbluesublime @NJBeisner What exactly is all these qualifiers to be a person other than being a human?
English
@JasonDoesTwitta @thinbluesublime @NJBeisner No, it does, it's just not the only thing that makes a person a person. There are many ways for a person to -be-, but a fetus doesn't poses any of them.
English
@RelieaYuell @thinbluesublime @NJBeisner My point is whether or not a human being can speak, communicate, or make rational sense has nothing to do with whether they are a person or not.
English
@JasonDoesTwitta @thinbluesublime @NJBeisner A toddler, or a mentally disabled person, is not a fetus. You indeed CAN ask them if they agree with you, unlike a fetus. Will the answer be useful or mean anything? Maybe or maybe not, so like, what is your point?
English
@StevenWisdom13 @Robby1554361 @NJBeisner Also I don’t care about what’s popular. I care about what’s moral.
Slavery was popular once upon a time. I have a feeling you wouldn’t use that as a defense

@JasonDoesTwitta @NJBeisner This argument falls apart immediately once you realize black people and fetuses are not the same thing.

@thinbluesublime @NJBeisner Wait until you hear the argument racist used to justify slavery

@thinbluesublime @NJBeisner All human beings are people. I’m not excluding anyone. It’s very simple.

@thinbluesublime @NJBeisner You’re not this stupid, you’re being purposefully obtuse.

@thinbluesublime @NJBeisner Go interview a toddler, or a mentally disabled person, ask them if they agree with you.

@JasonDoesTwitta @NJBeisner They aren't conscious. They are the potential of life not actual life.
English
@thinbluesublime @NJBeisner Really convenient for the people that decide which human beings count as people and which ones don’t.
Again, same argument.
English
@JasonDoesTwitta @NJBeisner That argument is wrong, because black people are persons.
Fetuses are not.

@JasonDoesTwitta @NJBeisner A fetus is human life, but it’s not a person.
