@vlowrider_@BishopForsaken The first source is about incarceration, not arrests. Incarceration usually happens after sentencing, which usually happens after you're convicted of a crime in court.
@AmyElli0ttDunne@MassOrdPen2@AGuyWithAFace@emilykmay If you are unwilling to do something, that generally implies you will not do it, unless someone forces you. The poll says "have you ever said yes to sex..." which I think at least implies willingness, even if there is some reluctance.
@goblinodds Well sure, I mean it helps to have some faith in yourself, but what you said in your original tweet applies to confidence too, that can become a feedback loop, and if you can easily get people to trust you, that can be intoxicating power. "Con man" is short for "confidence man".
@goblinodds I'm not suspicious that they're masking insecurity, I think it's rooted in the idea that with confidence comes social power, and that can tempt people to abuse that power. Or i think of al pacino in glengarry Glen ross, maybe they want to sell me something, they see me as a mark.
@MariGO2thepolls@xwanyex You can tell your model is insufficient because you can express it with unmitigated smugness. If your model allowed for more nuance, like all humans have, then the smugness would necessarily be tempered by the unknown, by what does not neatly match what you love to hate.
On Wednesday, world chess champion Garry Kasparov tied Deep Blue, the IBM supercomputer that can examine two hundred million positions per second, in the fourth game of their six-game series.
Earlier in the week, Kasparov admitted he committed a catastrophic blunder in game two, when he failed to force a draw by moving rook to E8. Opting instead for a Caro-Kann Defense, that soon transposed into a Pribyl defense. Which, after Deep Blue moved bishop to E7, gave him the advantage with his Knight position.
With all due respect to Mister Kasparov... what the hell were you thinking?!?
