You most certainly do see depth with either of your single eyes. For example, you have a lens on each eye surrounded by ciliary muscles that contract or relax to bring an image into focus on your retina and your brain uses the state of these muscles and the size to infer depth. You’re describing stereopsis (“reconciling two visual streams”), which is like one of a dozen ways your brain creates depth. Parallax, convergence, haze, familiarity, etc.

@ophello surely this can be corrected by the brain? you don't see depth with either of the eyes, it's the brain reconciling two visual streams creates depth

Why the fuck does the brain uses a projection of the 3D space where things get smaller when you get further apart from them? Why can't the size of the things stay constant? Make it make sense for me. I'm rly tired of things changing size every time I walk.

I lost betting on 2nd half overs in the CLE-NY game last night. Kalshi argued that 2nd half only includes regulation time, even though their full rules state overtime points are included unless explicitly excluded, and every sportsbook I know includes OT in 2H lines. Seem fair?

Curry’s was a no-brainer decision though. 1s to shoot and if you miss you still get another OT. Wemby’s decision was just insane. He misses and they need a rebound, a turnover, or a foul and 2 missed free throws AND THEN STILL need another 3 after. Wemby’s shot was way more fuckin nuts (and this is coming from a sad wolves fan)

Same exact miss by JDub and Westbrook. Same exact shot by Wemby and Curry. The resemblance is uncanny 🤯

@bernardbulletin I’d agree, and still think that aligns with the retail sports gambler psychology

@mcybets 1 is happening I'm sure, but I suspect a bigger effect is Massie supporters who sincerely believe the hype that he's going to win, as opposed to just buying to signal their support or because they merely hope he will win

Good morning. Polls are now open in Kentucky's 4th Congressional district, where 7-term Republican and Trump critic Thomas Massie is fighting for his political life against Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein.

2 could also be looked at as discouraging donors for the opponent. Putting on my tinfoil hat for a second, imagine you’re a big private individual Massie donor who gave a few hundred thousand to his campaign. If you’re spooked by the trump endorsement of Gallrein, would you spend 5-20k to prop up Massie’s odds and discourage would-be Gallrein donors? I don’t believe you’d be violating any of the market’s insider trading rules, and proving price manipulation without any coordination with other actors is basically impossible

Thinking recently about two possible forces causing mispricing in election markets with high media attention: 1. Supporters of a candidate buying their shares in the same way retail sports gamblers bet on their home team 2. Orgs raising funds for the campaign buying to prop up price to make the candidate appear stronger, and in turn help them raise more funds from donors who look at the odds 1 seems likely to take place at some level, would bias the candidate who’s base demographic overlaps with Kalshi users (e.g. Massie’s base is younger), but may not have a significant effect in markets with sufficient volume 2 seems less likely, and unclear who this would bias (whose donors are looking at PMs?), but the effect would certainly be significant, since moving the price on these markets would be trivial for orgs raising tens of millions

@DeepDishEnjoyer @tracewoodgrains Are you an Indian or something? Is that what’s wrong with you? Really non european way of behaving. Would explain the emotional investment in woke scolding and scummy nature of your character. Really glad I belong to a line of humans with morals and good character.

Does she wear an Apple Watch or other EKG device? My dad never had heart issues before, but Apple Watch caught an arrhythmia one night (which docs shocked back to normal) and it may have saved years of his life, since he likely would not have gone to hospital until clot symptoms or worse

was literally about to head back to the airport and apparently they're releasing her back home so i guess she's more or less okay? 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

tfw when you get a text as soon as you land home after flying out from your mom's place after mother's day that she is going to the hospital for heart/blood clot symptoms and you buy a ticket to immediately head back so you can stay overnight with her in the hospital 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

the other scary/sad thing is that the industry is converging to an oligopoly with local monopolization which is practically impervious to antitrust laws because of the opacacity of the whole setup so yeah seems bad
peepeepoopoo@DeepDishEnjoyer

a fair amount of this is firms like jane and hrt cannibalizing the business of other types of firms in the industry, but a lot is just degenerate retail gambling slowly bleeding out money to market makers. it's sad!
