Every morning I cast my neural nets into the sea, and every evening I gather big data to feed my many children and/or shareholders

@AlexGodofsky @ScottCorne It really comes off as an attempt to have your cake and eat it too. You want the social credit of being opposed to naked authoritarianism, while also defending the policies of that authoritarianism as permanent fixtures.

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@AlexGodofsky @ScottCorne You can likely see why this is a difficult position to take seriously as an actual principle.

Just like commentary in the Texas vs Virginia redistricting conversation, this seems equivalent “power grabs by R’s are distasteful but ultimately fine, D reactions are arson”

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@AlexGodofsky @ScottCorne In your mind, is it “constitutional arson” that they filled the vacancy anyway? Did it cross a red line, such that you’ll never again vote for anyone who supports this?

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@hecubian_devil There is no functional difference between him and a MAGA enthusiast besides wanting to be respected in mainstream circles. He opposes any action which would limit Republican power in literally any circumstance

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@AlexGodofsky @ScottCorne As a strong institutionalist, do you have objections to the conduct of the Republican Senate with respect to how recent vacancies were filled? Specifically, the treatment of Garland vs RBG’s death?

@owenbroadcast @0xArcheX My wife and I tried this last night and got almost exactly this amount too. I think practice would help a lot, but these games are also very easy to cheat in and also very subject to how exactly their score scaling works

@hecubian_devil He’s found out that Anthropic’s models are powered by a guy named Claude who just types extremely fast

@KateHVirginia @LACountyRRCC @gatorgar These are mail-in ballots, so probably these ballots will also swing against Pratt in all likelihood. If anything, I bet these are disproportionately Raman votes getting rejected for now - her voters are younger, and first time voters are more likely to misread the instructions.

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@KateHVirginia @LACountyRRCC @gatorgar They DONT have the #s. The signature validation is on the outside of the envelope, so they haven’t opened those ballot at all. This is for election security reasons - the exact kind of conduct this conspiracy theory alleges is made impossible by this process.

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@AnonymousBadge3 This is a fair point, and there was a real opportunity to separate “Magic, the card game/world with formats” from “Magic: the rules platform” with Commander using the latter. As is, even the UB precons leaked cards into eternal formats

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@AnonymousBadge3 A magic set that was obviously inspired by ATLA would tweak this - firebending has to be red, so maybe firebenders are the nomadic clan nearly wiped out by a rigid Earth empire, left roaming isolated mountains to stay hidden. But WOTC can’t do this, so we instead get incongruity.

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@AnonymousBadge3 This crops up in lots of small places - in the Avatar set, the bending colors are all wrong. The Earth Kingdom is clearly white - Ba Sing Se is a rigid society, valuing hierarchy and order. Airbending is - at a minimum - Boros. Airbenders are nomadic, dedicated to expression, etc

@jessesingal FWIW, she’s not claiming her beliefs are Objectively True, she’s arguing her ideological opponents believe an untrue thing.

I don’t fully agree with her conclusions, but it’s a perfectly normal argument to make!

@AmanitaFugax I can’t list all the nazi symbols either - i’d imagine most cant- but if i were to get a tattoo of an existing symbol i would absolutely look it up first.

(Especially if had a big skull on it)

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@GaryWinslett Just checked - as of 2019, UT/WY/MT are the three lowest, so i was thinking the right way. The NJ guess was horrible though, it’s #38

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@GaryWinslett I didn’t land on Utah specifically, but my thinking was “rural western state with few large cities” and figured any of Montana/Wyoming/Utah.

(I had a second thought of “state that is ENTIRELY metro areas” ala NJ, but NYC is much wealthier than Philly so maybe not)

[Calvo Fairy Wrangler🍌 @KHicksEfficient]

@MuseZack Probably the smart move, though I do agree with you.

I feel like TLJ took some wide swings and mostly missed. That still makes it more interesting than TFA & ROS, but i think the backlash to the (admittedly insane) backlash has led to some rose colored glasses on a messy film
