I’m thinking

@bleak_freq @mSanterre Yes. “I said to myself” isn’t an independent, self contained thought.

@bleak_freq @mSanterre It’s two

@opinionatedobs7 @LinkofSunshine @JJ_McCullough Wow, Mamdani should moderate to appeal to those people that voted for the sex pest

I've never had a case on any iPhone, I've never cracked a screen or broken the phone. People used to say "oh wait until you have kids." Well, I have a couple now, and one is 3. No problems, clearly a skill issue. No cases for me, using the device as it was intended by design.

I can’t stress enough how little an idea matters compared to the agency of the people executing the idea.

I have had the privilege of knowing and sometimes even working with some of the most successful people (by various metrics).

The difference between mediocre and excellent work and outcomes is predominantly one of agency.

In practice this means: they dont wait for things to happen to them they go out and make things happen for them.

They don’t wait for someone else to do something, for someone to teach them, for someone to give them the path, etc. They just go out and find a way to do it.

I think the single biggest superpower these people have is the realization/belief that the world around them is completely mutable. Most everything that happens is because a person made it happen.

I used to tell people to look around the room you’re sitting in. Look at everything. Every noun. It almost all exists because a person willed it into existence. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same.

I see people online all the time dismissing someone else’s success because “I had that idea first” or whatever. I mean… yeah? If so then the difference is… you. So a bit of a self own whenever I hear that.

Number one tip: act with agency.

The only sure-fire way to prevent drivers from speeding and taking liberties is to threaten that they might scratch their precious vehicles if they don't pay attention

@vicggallus @suninshades @nulltrace @Alonso_GD Yeah, you are making the “is-ought” fallacy

[Cartographer @khanate1789]

@vicggallus @suninshades @nulltrace @Alonso_GD You gave an example of a physical trait but a lot of racism and sexism is not based on observable physical traits. Even the ones that are supposedly based on physical traits are really just a form of the “is-ought” fallacy.

@bumbadum14 @JosephPolitano Are you illiterate?

@vevereiro @Glas109 @codeshaunted Then there must be no issues at ask with Java, because if it looks bad, then there must be a reason they had to make the apparently bad design choice and if it could have been fixed, it would have been. Java is perfect

[Cartographer @khanate1789]

@vevereiro @Glas109 @codeshaunted I ask because this is exactly what Kotlin does and it’s fine

[Cartographer @khanate1789]

@vevereiro @Glas109 @codeshaunted What would break? You’re super sure but can you give an example where Integer comparison would break if it called equals under the hood?

[Cartographer @khanate1789]

@Glas109 @codeshaunted Hard to imagine a scenario when you are calling == on two Integers and you don’t want the behavior of equals

@Pask218337 @ryangrim Which countries have tried it and what happened?

So to recap, the WI Gov Dem primary prediction markets:

A) failed to capture the closeness of the final result
B) failed to capture movement towards the winner
C) saw wild swings related to topline vote changes instead of the bigger picture trajectory election analysts could see

@_nickmessenger @gelliottmorris @mehdirhasan It's not a given that 1.5% of the McMorrow voters would not rank AES over Stevens.

@TheStalwart How is SF more economically successful than NYC?
