@c0rkeh @SarahisCensored The teachers absolutely were. They were ALL wearing masks. During every class. Even on some zooms. The harm we did to the majority of kids during Covid is unmeasurable.

@StephNoh This has Cade as a negative value contract. Hard to take it seriously if this is the case. Cool idea though.

ICYMI, I built a contracts tool that projects what every player in the NBA is worth vs what they are paid. Here's what it says about AD (bad value) and Coby White (good value). Tool is free, zero ads, for the community. Play around with it here! nbasalarymodel.xyz

"We however ALWAYS see the 4% and talk about them for YEARS because they are a rorschach test for our bias and generate the most amount of engagement and attention and debate."
Max@minordissent

Kind of a tangent but: One thing very important to think about whenever you are trying to accurately detect patterns based on limited data (online or otherwise) is whether it’s “a canary in a coal mine” or “the exception that proves the rule” For me personally, back in 2011 when i first saw videos of cops using what i perceived to be excessive force, i thought it was the former. “imagine how much they are doing this where we don’t see it! ACAB!” However after watching enough videos (fun fact: i actually had a Facebook page where i would post police shootings daily trying to bring awareness to the issue but then ran out in only a few months) and doing deep dives into the whole story on cases like Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, I realized it’s the opposite. If you took a random sample of 1,000 full body cams of police encounters that ended in violence (which is probably only 1% of all police encounters), you would find that: ~95% were totally justified, 4% you didn’t like but are technically legal (and you would begrudgingly accept them as justified after watching the 950 times where some wacko went crazy on the cop and they responded in a way you totally agreed as fair), and only 1% of the time you would genuinely believe were excessive force and bad. We never see the 99% of times where there wasn’t violence because no one cares. Of the 1% where there is violence, we never see the 95% where everyone would agree it was justified because also no one cares. We do see the 1% of the 1% where it was clear cut that the cop used excessive force but it quickly gets forgotten about because everyone agrees and thus there is nothing to discuss. We however ALWAYS see the 4% and talk about them for YEARS because they are a rorschach test for our bias and generate the most amount of engagement and attention and debate. Thus, what appears to “empathetic people” to be a problem with 90%+ of police encounters because they think the videos are a canary in a coal machine, is actually a problem with 0.01% or less because they are the exception that proves the rule. It is worth asking yourself where society and (your own life) have this heuristic inverted such as this.

Greenland is becoming geopolitically priceless for USA Why Greenland suddenly matters? Earlier, Arctic was frozen, Sea routes unusable, No one cared much Now, Ice is melting, Arctic sea routes are opening, Ships can move between - Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean through the Arctic This makes the Arctic a new global highway. Greenland sits right in the middle of this. Geography shocker most people miss ( Very Strategic location) Greenland is much closer to the US than to Denmark. Distance from Washington DC to Nuuk is less than Nuuk to Copenhagen So, US sees Greenland as a direct security zone. Denmark is far away, US is next door. China is already Part owner in a Greenland mining company, Trying to enter Arctic trade routes Russia - Arctic neighbor, Long-standing polar military presence As Arctic opens up - US fears China entering its backyard, Greenland becomes the choke point. US military already controls Greenland security Important fact >> In 1951, US and Denmark signed a treaty - US is responsible for Greenland’s defense US maintains - Pituffik Space Base (earlier Thule Air Base), Part of NORAD missile and space tracking system So, US already acts like Greenland is strategic territory. Trump wants formal control, not just presence Dark Cold War history there - Two shocking facts. Nuclear weapons scandal Denmark had banned nuclear weapons on its soil. Later discovered - US had secretly stationed nukes in Greenland 1968 nuclear crash - US B-52 bomber crashed near Thule, Carrying four hydrogen bombs, One bomb was never found, Radiation spread occurred This shows - Greenland has long been part of nuclear strategy How big Greenland really is? This is where people underestimate it badly. Greenland area About 21.6 lakh sq km India area About 32.8 lakh sq km So, Greenland is two-thirds the size of India, Only 56,000 people live there. Bigger than India’s 10 largest states combined. Largest island in the world. Minerals are the hidden gold. Greenland has 25 out of 34 critical minerals. Needed for - Defense systems, EV batteries, Chips, Modern technology Earlier, Ice made mining impossible Now, Melting ice, Easier access, Lower cost. This makes Greenland strategic treasure. Political status of Greenland. Greenland is Part of Denmark But high autonomy Timeline: 1979: Home rule 2009: Right to independence if people choose Now: Strong independence sentiment Own parliament Own government This year: Greenland may vote on independence This creates a window of opportunity. Trump’s calculation Trump sees - Denmark is weak on control, Greenland wants independence, China is moving in, Arctic is opening So he thinks - Make an offer Greenland cannot refuse Or strike a deal during transition If US pays Denmark - Looks colonial, If US pays Greenlanders directly - Each citizen becomes multi-millionaire Some estimates - Deal value up to $1.7 trillion This is not new for America US history - Louisiana Purchase, Alaska purchase from Russia. Alaska was mocked then. Today it is priceless. Trump sees Greenland as The next Alaska

18 new weapons-grade parenting tips 1/ Talk to them like adults: early and always 2/ Let them be bored 3/ Your energy is the house’s vibe. It all starts with YOU 4/ Never make them finish their food “Try a bite” works better and builds their palate over time 5/ If something isn’t optional, don’t ask Example: “Do you want to go to bed?” vs. “It’s time for bed” 6/ Say yes more than no (especially as they get older) 7/ Never complain about work or chores “Work sucks” or “I hate dishes” builds the wrong mindset 8/ “You GET to,” not “you HAVE to” Ingrain this language into your being… and theirs 9/ Ask better questions “How was your day?” becomes “What’s something that made you smile today?” 10/ When they share something tricky, don’t solve it immediately Say: “I’m so glad you’re telling me this. I believe you” 11/ Never say “Don’t tell Mom” Parenting is a team sport. Kids thrive on unity and consistency 12/ 1 hour of 100% focus beats 4 hours of half-hearted attention with your children 13/ Make your home the neighborhood epicenter Watch their growth, witness team play, feed hungry teens! 14/ Do that lemonade stand They learn business; you make memories 15/ Rethink the airport: “Kids, navigate us to Gate C15” They’ll develop leadership and teamwork (just get there early 😆) 16/ Share some challenges (age appropriate) Show them setbacks aren’t avoided… they’re solved 17/ Make Xmas & birthdays about time together, not stuff 18/ Never wish away time...because the good times are happening right now

“These Guidelines return us to the basics,” Secretary Kennedy said. “American households must prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods—protein, dairy, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and whole grains—and dramatically reduce highly processed foods. This is how we Make America Healthy Again.”
HHS@HHSGov

Today's NEW Dietary Guidelines deliver a clear, common-sense message to the American people: EAT REAL FOOD. The 2025–2030 Guidelines reestablish food — not pharmaceuticals — as the foundation of health and reclaim the food pyramid as a tool for nourishment and education.
