@TurtleProps @FDSportsbook This stands out from basic dude self-delusion about his abilities because you can only believe it if you don’t understand anything about the thing you’re supposedly near pro at lol. A major league slugger can’t make 1 hr per 100 off him, this is basic stats.

I think if I had 100 tries, I possibly could. Before I got injured in college, I was facing 87-96mph with some pretty good movement, off speed, etc. I wouldn’t say it’s a walk in the park, but i think after 20 pitches, I could be down with timing and have 80 left to do something! 💪

Would you rather... A. Be given $50,000 right now B. Have 100 pitches to hit a HR off of Paul Skenes for $100 million

@yandjoshi At the least, saying it isn’t Tolkien adherent is really weird. Tolkien wasn’t exactly a raging feminist, and all the soldiers except for Eowyn in the books are absolutely presumed male. Like, if you want to argue in favor of revision, fine, but weird to call it book-inaccurate.

Students: if your teacher can't immediately recognize a fully 100% AI generated paper within a few paragraphs, you're not getting taught by someone paying any attention. We always know (what to do about it is a stickier question).
Eve Fairbanks@evefairbanks

This is the most perfectly uncanny piece of AI-assisted writing I've seen--and a great tutorial on how to identify AI text. The OP is a captain! But the tell for AI isn't rhythm, wording, or fact errors. It’s that problems with *all these elements* exist equally & at once. (1/7)

7 years ago today. It was always painfully obvious this exact outcome would happen, but Democrats just wouldn't listen.

@DreadedVendetta @mariotwtconfess Superman is a hero who uses might to defend the American way. So people who want to criticize the reality of how the US uses might can do that with evil Superman. If anyone ever wants to criticize the reality of how plumbers stomp on humanoid mushrooms, they can use evil Mario.

@mariotwtconfess comments saying "Wario" don't even understand what anon means is like A WHOLE DIFFERENT FRANCHISE where the protagonist is supposed to be an evil take on Mario, like Omni Man and Homelander are to Superman

"Honestly surprised how a "Evil Mario" trope doesn't exist just like how we have the "Evil Superman" trope, like you would think people would make evil parodies of Mr Video Game himself just like Mr Comics himself (unless you count .exes)"

This problem is especially pervasive in outlets such as The Atlantic, Vox, The Argument, and related Substacks, illustrated best when Matt Yglesias offered a “solution” to the debt ceiling without knowing what a basis point is

Jerusalem@JerusalemDemsas

The Tolentino/Piker microlooting episode is a microcosm of a broader media problem where culture writers/editors get to do policy/politics takes but don't have any actual expertise on the topic theargumentmag.com/p/the-new-york…

I know for certain Trump didnt stage it because nobody took out a million dollar bet on an assassination attempt on Trump the day prior

The problem here is that there is empirical data to support both: “The President is so loathsome that he would stage multiple assassination attempts to boost his popularity” AND “The President is so loathsome that multiple people would genuinely attempt to murder him”
