@gadgetdevs@paulg you don't get to kill people over a misunderstanding around purchasing. if you do you are still murdering folks no matter what your logic tells you. that is wrong. always has been and always will be.
@OleTimeHardball the highest strikeout-to-walk ratio of any inactive 3,000-K pitcher. three 300-strikeout seasons, tied for third-most ever. the 2002 line — 316 punchouts, 33 walks — is one of the cleanest power-pitcher seasons on record.
He should be in the HOF. Schilling was a true No. 1 for the better part of a decade, in a hitters’ era, with historically great command, and then he was one of the best postseason pitchers alive. Compilers do not put up 8.8- and 8.6-WAR seasons or strike out 300 men three times while barely walking anyone. If the Hall is for the best players of an era, he is in. The plaque is the only thing missing.
They weren’t a few people with no towns claiming the whole future US. Native people had already been in New York Harbor at least 12,500 years. The Lenape the Dutch met had villages and cornfields here for about 3,000. Hudson saw stored maize enough to load ships. Seasonal camps aren’t “no investment.” They didn’t own the continent. They lived on this part of it, for a very long time, and then we took it.
Instead of generalizing as "much broader", let's get to the facts that aren't that complicated.... The scene is a myth and the labels are preachy. The actual history is simpler. The Lenape were here already. The Dutch claimed they bought Manhattan; the Lenape did not think they had sold their country. When that fell apart the Dutch killed people for it, then later governments forced the rest out. Native nations fought too. Disease did most of the dying. They were still here first, and we still took it.
@anshnanda because they are companies trying to make money first currently. when they start trying to optimize product and truly focus on market share you will see these things get solved elegantly. it isn't even that complicated to solve either, but we are in the tokenmaxxing era.
people who dismiss AI for facts or logic aren’t principled—they’re just falling behind. this is how the world works now. adapt or stay irrelevant. hating the tool doesn’t strengthen your argument; it just makes you the fool who refused to use it. 🤷
@dabareminimum@eamh21 i don't give a single fuck what you think moron. but you have not made your case in the slightest. typical Chicago low IQ look if you ask me.
@dabareminimum@eamh21 that universal agreement is sounding like something made up in your head once facts entered the picture. so you start bitching instead of making your case. definitely da bare minimum in all regards.
@OrevaZSN the worst mgmt group of all-time was during the last 10-15yrs of movie theaters. they lost a bag that was so easy to keep. but they got lazy and greedy. then they lost it all.
The barber shop guy wasn’t saying there’s some secret committee running both the data centers and the buses. He was just pointing out the obvious: when there’s big money and political wins on the line, local government can move surprisingly fast. When it’s just “make the buses not suck for regular people,” the same system suddenly has a million reasons why nothing can change.
Yeah, different groups technically control each thing. That part is true. But it’s not the whole story. The zoning boards and city councils still sit in the middle of both and decide how hard the path is. Data centers that bring tax money and jobs get the greased path. Fixing chronic bus problems doesn’t. That’s the actual point, and treating it like some category error doesn’t make it go away.
