@bobbyfijan@JeremiahDJohns@ezraklein Still, it is misleading to say “You didn’t reach out to me” after you’ve intentionally made yourself closed to outside contact, meaning you might not even know if someone tried to reach you. But she basically implies they lied rather than saying she was away
@EDub56@olivertraldi Exactly, "say what you mean or shut the fuck up" is exactly what one could say to this whole thread. But apparently it's just a funny contrast (True) with no particular political resonance that Traldi is hinting.
@olivertraldi I guess that just puts it back up one level. There are many possible reasons why their smiles could be turned to frowns once they are reminded where New York is.
@olivertraldi But isn’t one possible reason, that you offered, that they were unhappy because they were reminded that New York is in the United States?
@olivertraldi "You get the sense that they were all having fun before this and then someone reminded them that New York is in the United States and killed the mood" Is an implication of this that they don't like the US? Or am I reading into it
@petermlaffin@davidpdeavel He’s very open about his reasons for leaving Christianity, so framing it as a disclosure gives off a wrong connotation. He wrote a whole book on it even. You know what they say about assuming…
@Brett_A_Taylor Notice he didn't substantiate the comparison w/ numbers. Primetime NBA ratings are up and higher than MLB, young NBA stars (<30) are more popular than their MLB counterparts (Luka, Edwards, LaMelo vs Skenes/Soto/Witt?), same for rest of the points.
@annakhachiyan What is the correct perspective to consider then? If having babies seems to suck from an outsider’s POV but having one of your own is transformative and makes you like babies, that seems like a meaningful counterpoint.
@paulnovosad Don’t agree with this wrt movies. Just looking at the top of the box office for e.g. 1979 and 2019, I don’t believe that the 1979 ones are less effective. I think on the whole they’re actually dramatically better. True for most years in the 70s IMO.
i loved caesar wraps i used to buy them for lunch all the time at panera for work but they were like 11 dollars and i complained to my ex that they were kinda steep and one day when we were fighting he was like and you’re a cheap ass bitch with your dry panera wraps like woah
