@MuffetMcGraw I always wonder why people care about graduation rates of student athletes but not the other students

@EdbieLigerSmith @an_capitalist “For the greater good” is one of the most evil concepts to ever take root
English

@an_capitalist That’s a nice fantasy story, but I live in reality where the USSR & China achieved the fastest processes of industrialization in human history & uplifted the living standards of hundreds of millions. Not to mention Vietnams rapid poverty reduction among others.
English

I used to believe this too. Then I did 5 minutes of research & realized socialism is literally common sense.
But the only way to achieve a lasting Socialism is Communism. Aka revolutionary working class struggle & striving for higher & higher levels of development.

Socialism is the flat earth theory of economics.

@ByMattWeyrich 2014 KC would have manufactured a run and won the game 1-0. Times have changed

@ldaenglebu @Rainmaker1973 It’s cool how you think 10 billion is even close at all to 52!
English

@Rainmaker1973 LOL, have 10 billion possiblities doesnt mean need 10 billion times to hit it, as simple example i have 3 balls with diffrent colours ( red green blue), my friend also have 3 , i tell him to meet up and bring 1 ball with any color he want, the chance we bring same ball is 27 >>

@PSU_facts_ That like 50% of their regular attendance, so not bad really

#Hokies’ promotion of Danny White means he will focus more on football. Also means a new leader of the Hokie Club is needed.

Recognizing impact and leadership. Danny White elevated to Deputy AD 🦃📈 ➡️ vthoki.es/y4oxi

@NateSilver538 I hate NJTransit with all my being just as much as the next guy, but there’s only 1 game where this impacts rush hour (Monday June 22nd, 8pm kickoff). Still it’s ridiculous and not what a major city should do.

@BubsyRyder @DanClarkSports Only a matter of time until he gets into a bar fight and gets a broken jaw

Pete Alonso knows he isn't meeting the lofty expectations set by everyone -- the Orioles, the fans who were so excited to watch and himself.
The Polar Bear also knows things will improve.

@BenHallenbeck @PitchingNinja Hitting as in making contact or getting a base hit?

Someone tell me how hitting a baseball isn’t the hardest thing to do in professional sports

Nolan McLean, 85mph Sweeper and 97mph Front Hip Sinker, Individual Pitches and Overlay. Look at how far apart these pitches are...and where they end up. "Funneling"

@davidslosttt How much time would you save with so many stops so close to each other? By the time you get up to speed you’d have to start slowing down, no? How much time would you spend at speeds higher than current Acela?
English

@Chris_Liss @BrianRoemmele Agree this makes it obvious! However, I have tried to use it to explain to others but have found that anyone who doesn’t understand it using 3 doors is overwhelmed by contemplating a million doors and just loses interest
English

@BrianRoemmele Easiest way to explain it to a skeptic is imagine there were a million doors, and you picked one. You'd have 1 in a million chance of being right. Then the host opens up 999,998 doors with goats. Offers you the option to trade your door for the unopened one. Obvious.

@nateobrienn I will personally write a gigacheck to whoever can solve this.

@KylePorterNS I would love to know what it’s like to be you. You must have learned to ignore these comments yet you react. You’ll never stomp them out so is it just engagement? I respect your writing but this is hard to reconcile
English

Receiving all of those gifts and all of that ambition must be so outrageously fun. Learning that you are preternaturally skilled at this singular thing must feel like magic. No achievement is too outlandish. Nothing beyond your reach.
You must feel like you are a god.
And over time, you become convinced that giving your entire self over to your gifts must be the answer. What are you supposed to do, *not* develop them? *Not* strive to be great at whatever it is you do? This is the weight of the gifts.
The highs are so high. The achievements so extraordinary. You are historically relevant for generations. You fulfilled the life everyone thinks they want.
What you aren't told until it's too late, though, is that the moments are more fleeting than you were promised. The happiness less fulfilling than it should have been.
What you aren't told is that giving your entire self over to the extreme pursuit of greatness oftentimes -- not always, but oftentimes -- comes at a tremendous price.
What you are not told when you're 18 or 22 or 30 is that the true cost of all these dreams and all that glory and this entire life you were supposed to live is so much greater than you ever would have paid.
