@thatonearizonan I don’t know what it is about the NBA, but there’s no other league so dominated by players making horrific career moves for seemingly no reason other than ego. It has to be structural at this point.
Hockey has some of it too (hellebuyck, tkachuk, etc) but not like the nba.
@L0ganDav1s@TylerJWorden Just remove automatic first downs period. Let 'em hold until the line to gain is close enough that they can't hold anymore. Automatic first downs are a plague.
@squid_tuttle@Juancho_Braddy@B0NYPH0NY He threw for 4700 yards and 44 tds two years later. Took until Warner in 1999 (41 tds) for anyone else to even throw 40, and Peyton in 2004 (49 tds) to break it.
The simple fact is that if you watch brock purdy, he has a natural ability to track where players are, both around him and downfield, and how fast they can get from where they are to where he or his receiver are depending on their momentum. That’s an elite QB trait.
@TylerAlterman If this conversation didn't happen (and I very much think it did), at the very least Billy imagined himself having this conversation with somebody very famous upon a chance meeting.
You can see her formulating the lie, then making eye contact once she can go into auto-BS mode. That's when she turns into YCSE Liz, desperately seeking belief. The difference from this Liz to YCSE Liz is that YCSE Liz internalized her lie. She doesn't have to break eye contact.
@SamHoppen “Should” is the point under contention here. There is a value judgement being made by the person who made this graph (presumably contained in the “wp gain>1.0” clause) that kyle has a different opinion on. I don’t think he goes for it enough either, but that’s simply my opinion.
@aGuyOnMyPhone Not to defend him, but as far as I could find, Billy’s family owns 3 decent hotels in san diego. Which is definitely rich, but it’s certainly not venture capital money.
@LucaGuadagnegro@hgtvdeathdrive It takes a special kind of self delusion to commission a documentary about yourself that you think will help launch your new company when you’re a person like holmes or evans. Anyway, the film probably doesn’t have any stance on that!
I mean that last paragraph pretty succinctly explains how the movie became this massive treatise on perception, portrayal, and reality, instead of a documentary about a lady saying some lies.
Nathan Fielder says Elizabeth Holmes seemed "so genuine at times," but adds: “I know she’s a liar.”
“When I met her, I remember having this weird experience where she seems so genuine at times. But then I’m like, ‘no,’ and clocking and tracking my thoughts and being like, ‘Okay, I know she’s a liar.’ It was a weird mental thing. From there, we were like, ‘Can we roll the dice on something if they were open to having cameras in?'” Fielder said at #NYFF.
“It wasn’t until we started shooting that moments would happen — some of them are in the film — and then after Lance and I would talk about what we thought happened there. We’d completely disagree on what something meant to us and what we thought was happening. Then we were like, ‘Oh, this is really interesting. If we can’t agree on what’s happening, there’s something here.’ And our curiosity sort of just like drove us from there.”

@LucaGuadagnegro@hgtvdeathdrive The mom is a former intelligence staffer who worked directly for charlie wilson in the 80s. She’s the only person in the entire film trained to shut the hell up when it’s obvious you should shut the hell up.
@billybrizzle420 Don’t free liz, just also imprison him. And frankly we might need probes into nathan fielder and amanda seyfried 🤷♂️ I’m just saying, what don’t we know
