“In many ways, the work of a replier is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment.”

@MemeCopium @fadhb4fabulous @hankgreen @TheBrianMcManus Because he trusted his audience to understand that the point is NOT “anyone with 0 editing skills who cant use their own voice can profit in a few days” and cause it was a quick side project. Also most Americans have ~8k+ liquid in bank accounts so you’re even wrong there too

[anti ego @DLydbyrd]

@MemeCopium @hankgreen @TheBrianMcManus Yes, I did completely misrepresent what happened, but an important detail is this other goalpost that is not relevant to what I said. Also I will fully gauge “success” on the profit margin of one video within a few days even though most of the costs are unique to the experiment

@sky_bis0n @brandnew68 @MariGO2thepolls we’re talking language use here lol comparing turns of phrase is not equating scales of harm

@firagawalkwthme @toobluehair I hope CA Dems get their shit together too but you can’t start your spin now when the results are so unclear and what signs exist point to a huge blue shift, all you do is lose credibility

[anti ego @DLydbyrd]

@looking_finding @ImNotOwned I think that it’s too early to decide what has or hasn’t plateaued and what possible upsides there are considering that *no one has launched a campaign yet*

[anti ego @DLydbyrd]

@looking_finding @ImNotOwned also, being at the same vote share with lower name recognition is a really good sign, not a bad!
I’d also say his upside with black voters is higher if he wins GA again and gets KLB over the finish line (the only world in which he can run anyway)

[anti ego @DLydbyrd]

@looking_finding @ImNotOwned in addition to the buzz of winning again, Ossoff has actually stuck to effective/consistent messaging, whereas Beto floundered for a while until committing to career suicide
Besides, no one’s saying he’s a lock, just that he has a lot of potential/would be strong in the general

[anti ego @DLydbyrd]

@DemNationalist maybe! not clear the scope of that impact/whether it’s worth watering down your language over, genuinely think it could go both ways

@AugustCohen4 @vanillaopinions aside from all the other stuff it’s so funny to specify “urbanites” because like yeah we’re talking policy of the most urban urban area in the country why would something targeted at urbanites be a bad thing

@Echo112212 @Socdem_Michael @NickyScatz 2022 Paxton won AG race by ~10 when national congressional ballot was like R+3
This is higher profile ofc, but point is you can’t ignore candidate effects, midterm turnout effects, etc

@shamansnail @ATwinEarth @_colourmeamused native english speaker doesn’t mean “speaker of ‘native english’” whatever that would be

[anti ego @DLydbyrd]

@mattbramanti @allyobrien I’m asking so seriously, do you genuinely think making a syntactic mistake on a still-spiritually-correct tweet signals that this person is more likely than the average doctor to fuck up a prescription in his actual job like is that an actual belief you have?

[anti ego @DLydbyrd]

@zarathustra5150 @r_vonhagn There’s no more credible way to support antiintellectualist claims than quoting an impossibly general and easily falsifiable heuristic from one of the most out of touch individuals in the world paired with no explanation or backing

@JuicyJuuce @slater_horne @PollTracker2024 & considering how often people call 911 on someone just sitting high, the presumption of violence is not always fair.
regardless, usually the MHP is better trained than a cop, which is why our shelter felt more comfortable calling 911 for help in a city with this program

[anti ego @DLydbyrd]

@JuicyJuuce @slater_horne @PollTracker2024 do you have evidence of social workers revolting against this? there’re obviously cases where it wouldn’t make sense but you act like it’s somehow rare for (certain) social workers to interact with escalated individuals?

@meat_milk79 @onlysmartbrain do you pronounce the toise in blastoise the same as the toise in tortoise

@BrendenFilone @GuyOron Seems sensible to start with one big, photogenic flagship as a proof of concept while gradually expanding rather than immediately trying to juggle a bunch all at once. To that end, half a year’s existing revenue/400k a unit seems fine? Its revenue is intended to offset costs

[anti ego @DLydbyrd]

@gregmushen @BrendenFilone @GuyOron why not?
