Hey @SheaSerrano first time long time - I was recently inspired to write a self-help book but don’t know where to start. Are there general processes or resources you recommend? Would be happy to reach out offline if that works best for you
@TheWhyOfFI Walz flips the GOPs frequently used “coastal elite” narrative on its head. Im surprised this tactic cuts so deep given how seemingly obvious Walz’s (disingenuous) approach isn’t anything more than “the other side doesn’t understand you like we do,” which is standard politics
Can you explain crypto/bitcoin to me like I’m a child?
I am not well-informed and generally, I view it as “new internet money whose purpose is to generate old regular money.” Which leads to the natural question of: what’s the point?
@JBoonPlaya Bill Russell won more chips than anyone in NBA history, in large part due to a smaller pool of teams/players than existed during the Jordan and Bron era
How am I off? Who would your player comps be?
Bolt > Phelps and it’s not close
This tweet hits on a lot of it but I’ll add: running is something literally every abled body person in the world can do. Swimming is something only half the world knows how to do.
Bolt = Jordan
Phelps = Russell
My hot take is that it's total BS that swimmers get to win 347 gold medals for swimming a bunch of different strokes (and corresponding extra relays) and thus Phelps gets to be the GOAT instead of Bolt. Swim from A to B as fast as you can. Why do you get so many extra golds for doing that in different, slower ways? Track doesn't have "100 meter run with your hands tied behind your back" or "200 meter one-legged hop" or "300 meter sprint but with really big steps." Track doesn't even get to have a 4x200!
Bolt got to run 100, 200 and 4x1. If you **ONLY** swim freestyle, you can do 50, 100, 200, 4x1, 4x2 and the freestyle leg of the 4x1 medley. If you can do a second stroke, you get to pile on even more. It makes no sense!
@JBoonPlaya Except the talent pool is too rich for that to be realistic (hence why the decathlon determines the overall best athlete but that person would never win any of the individual sports)
Swimming is still a sport inaccessible to most people, so the number of competitors is way down
Friends, your 4th Amendment constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure are minimal at the airport and at the border, which includes cruise ships / ports. Nothing here was impermissible by the border agents, hence their response to this guy who’s obv clueless
