@davevermilion Work in digital marketing, this example feels like obvious waste from the user end but these algos are so much *more* effective than otherwise, and each individual view is inexpensive. You know you’re wasting money but the money you’re not wasting goes further
This is democracy. A group of insiders does not vet you and then put the propaganda machine behind you. The DNC does not do this. You are vetted by your opposition. You are forged in the flame.
There’s a reason the Party system requires people to win smaller elections before trying bigger ones. This is not a conspiracy against outsiders. You will be ATTACKED RELENTLESSLY. Not doing this within the party is of no benefit - this is a vetting process.
The damage Bernie Sanders has done to political discourse will push liberalism back for decades
You cannot even begin to quantify the damage he has done.
@ghostcodmw19@SandblasterSzn@MattLucasPhotog All the teams have similar costs of revenue in terms of paying people at the stadiums for 81 games, so an extra 220M of revenue means dodgers can spend 60% of revenue on salaries and turn a significant profit while jays are operating at a loss. Padres likely at a loss
@KevinEspiritu Also found his perspective on YT extremely jaded but somewhat interesting and not completely out of bounds, taking it with a grain of salt that he was obviously coming from a place of hurt. But yeah the anonymous internet fame is not good for that situation
@SandblasterSzn@MattLucasPhotog Mariners and Jays are in the same class, which is middle class in MLB terms. But mariners didn’t forfeit short term profitability to invest in getting over the top and the Jays did. Good for the Jays!
@SandblasterSzn@MattLucasPhotog Red Sox not spending $250M and printing $150M in profit, Cubs not spending $250M and printing $150M in profit. Ugly. Jays are spending everything in the tank to win. Good for them. Different class of team
@davevermilion@levenson_david Water use is an issue for communities as well, however ridiculous that may be depending on region. But the data centers need to solve multiple utilities issues to address pushback
@alexthekulak@RVrijj@yah5us Just adding some illustration - businesses responded re: unit costs up to their production capacity. (Red) The supply curve deals with production ~beyond~ built capacity. If firms need to increase production beyond cap, they need to build new factories - marginally expensive!
@mustachemorsch@SignJoshNaylor@CalicoJoeMLB@MLB He marginally pulls the bat back in slow motion. If he pushed the bat forward it wouldve been judged an offer. Weirdly if he were aiming down the third base line instead of first it might have been judged an offer, but I think this call is correct by the rules.
screenshot bc I have zero interest in conversing. 3rd grade reforms in 2017 have yet to impact the 12th grade population 🧐 need a genius to help me figure this out
This belief dates to when the Southern Dem coalition had a lock on the House for decades. All those southern dems defected to the GOP and they succeeded in structurally changing the game to favor the GOP, but still with this we have no power utter fucking horseshit
@chumblings It’s the opposite. There’s no such thing as a RW grifter in any meaningful sense of the term, because only the left has real power. Normiecons are LW grifters, playing their part in the left’s narrative of history. If you’re outside of this, you’re not a “grifter”, you’re just RW
Liberals generally like leftists as people, they just don’t agree with their policy prescriptions. Leftists believe their policy prescriptions are what people like, which is just another thing they’re wrong about. Libs will side with the least dirt bag so Mamdani dog walks Cuomo
Amazing finding in the new Fox News mayoral poll: The only things New York City voters have net favorable views of are Bernie Sanders, Kathy Hochul, Zohran Mamdani, and capitalism
