@BuiltByJuice @claudeai Seems reasonable

[Bret Max @bretmax]

@naflasco Some fairly accurate assessments in the the thread. Reality is that the meaning is just as subjective as any other tattoo design.

I don't think anyone ever said it doesn't take more skill. Just that parsing high does take time and effort and skill also. If you say it doesn't, then you have >5000 hrs played in WoW and your opinion is not reflective of 95% of the player base anyway. As a multi glad PvPer orange parser, I think you qualify as the top 5% of players in terms of investment, so you would be among the best players of the game and your opinions shouldn't be used as a barometer of reality. Of course it would feel easy to someone like you. Tbh, you'd have issues if it didn't with that level of commitment.

[Bret Max @bretmax]

I didn't move the goal post, it's just easier to believe that someone says it's not skill when they have the results to prove it. I exclusively mentioned >90 parsing. If you've locked in 99's for a phase and still say it requires no skill, I'd still disagree, but you'd have more weight in your opinion.

[Bret Max @bretmax]

So you're saying there is no strategy while explaining that we copy strategy developed by other players? Post all of your 99's and a SS of you logged in as the character in your log link to confirm that you're perfectly executing the highest performing strategies and I'll concede that there is no skill.

I'm not saying it's hard, but I will stand by the fact that many people fail to execute well or even try to perform in the >90 parse bracket.

[Bret Max @bretmax]

@iStevoo2k @ballistic2k3 @N_Tys26 This makes no sense. Everyone hitting 99s is impossible on a rating system based on performance statistics. It's essentially a leaderboard, like when you play an arcade game.

@AdamAdamator @CoachDanGo Running and doing a bunch of cardio to lose weight, especially if you are overweight, will pump your body full of cortisol and make losing visceral fat that much harder. Walking burns calories and doesn't inflame or stress the body. It's very different.

@MLGW @MEM_Fire @CityOfMemphis Is there anywhere we can find an update on why water is being cut off on Covington Pike? Is it related to the water main break? We can't call the offices and have no water.

Well, you have a lot more confidence and faith in the government than I do. If they were tracking people, they wouldn't need to use the dark web. I have been browsing it since the mid 2000's. It sounds like a scary thing you can tell non-technical people that don't understand it to make them believe they're doing it. My point is more that there is no way they could track millions of people that took it unless something were injected with the vaccine, which would be nano sized. So you'd have to believe in a wifi capable biologic reading nano spec being injected into humans when the technological capability of human beings is no where near being able to accomplish such a thing. That's miracle level technology and we are a long from that.

My conclusion from listening to doctors talk about it was that a small minority of people taking the vaccine experienced negative side effects like myocarditis and that, ultimately, it was just not very effective in fighting COVID. I've listened to all of the Joe Rogan's and read RFK's books as well as Turtles all the way down and Suzanne's book that I forget the name of right now. This event was much more than about making billions of dollars than it was about killing billions of people, but yes, people died in the process. It's all sad. But it's really easy to believe that they wanted to make billions and billions of dollars with no need to do anything you're describing.

[Bret Max @bretmax]

I appreciate that. My wife is in the same boat as I am and a couple years younger than I. I think you're giving a lot of credit to science to assume that they could develop a vaccine that has a staggered effect that could impact people 4-5 years later. If it were a placebo, they would also have to track every single person or control group which would be an INCREDIBLE logistical task. These are people that can't even get your license plate to you on time or keep a budget. You're really giving them a ton of credit with no real evidence to support that any of this is happening.

I'm not trying to argue, but I am also saying that you shouldn't live in fear and anxiety. Your daughter taking off work and coming to stay with her parents believing she is going to die is not a good place to be in life. Especially not in your mid-30's. Cortisol kills more people than vaccines ever will. Not to mention the impact it can have on relationships and responsibilities of all kinds.

[Bret Max @bretmax]

@Becky7pd @harryfisherEMTP That's the one I took and I am your daughter's age. I just ran my first marathon and I'm also about to enter the 1000 pound lifting club and am generally in the best shape and health of my life. No adverse effects and never got COVID once. She's fine.

[Bret Max @bretmax]

@poneilexpress @CoachDanGo Most people aren't athletes and many people haven't been fit their whole lives, so it makes sense to communicate things like this to the majority.

[Bret Max @bretmax]

@TatabusaR @Rainmaker1973 Yes he did. Him and PM bought a van and sold hair care products from the back of it and turned it into a 700 million dollar empire. He also owns patron tequila.

@BalkanManic11 @newstart_2024 My point was about doublethink. This was a concept coined and defined in 1984 by George Orwell. You're debating semantics and missing the point entirely. I would expect that with someone that has a bicep for a profile picture, so that's fine.

[Bret Max @bretmax]

@glannsberg @newstart_2024 The example was not about hypocrisy. It was about double think. It was a word defined and coined in 1984 by George Orwell.
