Troubled Waters

in a labor camp

@VijayInWA Maybe before you share your thoughts, learn the smallest thing about politics?

How is Starbucks supposed to dictate who the mayor is? You think they wanted Wilson?

Remember when Amazon tried to influence the race? What happened? Do you remember? Do you know?

@52Cadbury6692 @butterfaegarden There are two types of successful men in their 30s and 40s - blue collar petit bourgeoisie, and educated professionals. The latter are not going for 22 year olds. The former often do.

People often confuse the two because they are not members of the PMC

@butterfaegarden @Fat_DTEA I'm always surprised how little they know about mid-upper SES. They fantasize that these women will suddenly wake up and desire an laborer "real man" because they'll get tired of their degreed upwardly mobile bf/husband. But it turns out they like having someone that can relate

@seth_hettena @pretquand999 @FBIDirectorKash @_WilliamsonBen @FBI @IfindRetards The blue text is in fact Kash. This is out of the linked FBI file. The contact (person in gray) should be Ben Williamson but the blue text is Kash.

Page 15-16 of the linked PDF doc.

@isaacinthesky @shakoistsLog Your position is that Seattle city leaders are good at…venture capital?

And that there is a shortage of capital for tech in today’s market?

And you’re offering no justification for these beliefs?

[Troubled Waters @JCovetti]

@hldrinduecourse @Noahpinion That’s definitely common

@MarvelousMrToad @jbarro This doesn't have anything to do with what she's talking about. What she's saying is true, that the salmon population is being overfished by protected animals (sea lions) which is then starving other protected animals (orcas).

It's a salient issue in the PNW.

@davidshor @Duderichy They are slapping random exponents onto charts and calling it research.

They seem to have really limited understanding of Baumol.

@bdquinn @ThePlagueCrow99 Physiological diffs are big - men have 33% more muscle mass. Unlike many progressive equity issues, this reduces equity by making it almost impossible for biological females to win. With employment or housing, trans rights are a pure equity win. The voters are rational here.

@hldrinduecourse @Noahpinion Usually 2 year prepaid deals are enterprise and not happening through Stripe. It's also unusual for it to be fully prepaid, versus just a contractual term obligation; it creates bad incentives.

[Troubled Waters @JCovetti]

@Lib_Development @SockDem_ They also like to walk short distances for coffee

@oprydai “Robotics engineer” doesn’t know difference between open and closed loop controls

@RapeCrackers88 @locatej3 @JoeDeLololol @gbrew24 a football field is an extremely short distance. you sound very low information. hypersonic missiles have very limited maneuverability and maintaining targeting from launch to delivery (they are not hypersonic the whole way) on a moving target is extraordinarily difficult.

@Sul_E7 @mattdykema Anyone who doesn’t want to think is not going to get the jobs that pay well anyway.

It is easy to get 100k+ in manufacturing if you think.

@Andre1339781 @LVTYIMBY land value tax decreases the value of land by reducing the present value of cash flows; in the pathological case that landlords are able to pass on the full value of the tax, it would merely offset the negative cash flows of the tax, thereby having no net effect on land value.

@emmma_camp_ I'm hoping that this will actually attract more creators like you. The market for commie takes is so saturated, and there's very little supply in the "capitalism is good" market.

And apparently the demand is there! So other people should step in and compete with you.

[Troubled Waters @JCovetti]

A professor at NYU Stern!

It's starting to feel like it is the AIs themselves waging most of the war against Pangram, proxied through various meat conduits like this prof.

[Troubled Waters @JCovetti]

@TaliaRinger The defenders of the writers seem to be concluding that this is Max's fault because "he wasn't media trained," a preparatory warning you might give to someone who has to handle a rabid dog.

[Troubled Waters @JCovetti]

@cunha_tristan @micsolana that almost makes it sad. Doesn't excuse it, but why are they even doing this with their life? What's the point? They have no influence. Nobody reads this. Nobody cares about what they do, except on occasion when they do so poorly they become a momentary exemplar of incompetence.

[Troubled Waters @JCovetti]

@WillOremus Some degree of piling on is warranted! She strongly implied Pangram was untrustworthy, at one point implying it is racist, without any evidence; it mostly seemed to be a vendetta against Max's mannerisms.

We should expect better investigative work from our journalists.
