You’re on an 8 hour road trip, just relaxing. What’s your (non-alcoholic) beverage of choice? Pick your poison.

Hot take but listening to an audiobook is not reading and it’s actually insane to think otherwise

@shawzsav A variety of we'll know authors disagree and this take is very ableist. I usually expect better takes from you. My eyes are garbage, it is painful for me to read for long periods. Audio books let me keep reading without the pain.

Bald Eagle USMNT

The average american is so oblivious to the world of soccer. This sport truly doesn't even cross their minds, it's pretty saddening. I was talking to an older guy recently and he was holding a World Cup branded Michelob, so I made a light-hearted joke asking if he was excited for it. He goes "oh have you been watching any of those games" thinking the world cup was already underway. Don't even get me started on trying to explain to people how a USMNT player can play in the MLS, EPL, etc. but also represent the USA in the world cup. Apparently this is too complex for their brains. TLDR: The USMNT has so much work to do to win over the average american

Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down. It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems. A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means: Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad." Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language. Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed. Both walk away frustrated. Both have wasted each others time.

@stoolpresidente It’s strange that if they lose to Detroit he probably keeps his job and now he’s going to get fired after making it to ECF

Gotta fire Kenny Atkinson right? The Game 1 disaster cost them any shot at winning this series. The quotes about wanting to save timeouts and how they are up 2-1 on Analytics. I think you gotta can him after this disaster class?

As I said during the deadline there’s not a move Cavs could do that would seriously make them title contenders unless BIGTIME luck was on their side. Now that OKC and Wemby are obviously on another level, some will say rebuild. But Dan is in his 60’s and does he look like he wants to wait 5 years to be relevant again? They will 100% be big game hunting.

Woman walking her dog stops in front of a stranger’s house, throws a bag of dog poop into their trash can, and casually walks away like nothing happened. Some people really treat other people’s property like their personal garbage dump. Would you say something if you saw this or just let it slide?

@United_Africana It’s not necessarily. It’s just more likely to get to failure. As long as the last rep of each is really really hard, either is fine. But more injury risk with heavy 3 reps

Gym bro. Why’s going 10 reps with lighter weight more effective than going 3 reps with heavy weight?
