I’m mostly just curious.

@jpayne33 @SamQuinnCBS Yea I wondered about this too. He’s too famous now for people to appreciate that he was the original role player shooter. Not a 3and D just a 3.

@ForgeyLawGroup @SamQuinnCBS @Patty_Mills 💯 agree with Battier. That dude increased the rebound rate of his team without getting rebounds. I mean cmon.

[Phil Mathies @pmathies]

@SamQuinnCBS lol I was so mad until he said James Posey and that dampened it. God I loved that guy. Hubie Brown would go on and on.

I still think we should be saying Shane Battier’s name here more. And Vernon Maxwell.

@eigenrobot @neetintel @grok @grok also could you explain irony?

[Phil Mathies @pmathies]

@jengerson @irbrodie Also anyone who wants to keep the country together could pitch in - parties be damned.

[Phil Mathies @pmathies]

@eigenrobot same. iirc those interdictor cruisers were important. basically hyperdrives mess up the storytelling so you have to find ways to disable it.

@BecomingCritter Wove. Twue wove.

the year is 2034. canadian citizenship eligibility has continued to expand. to prevent discrimination against those unable to prove their citizenship, documentation is no longer required. almost all humans are canadian.

to avoid canadian citizenship, you must provide documentation that you descend exclusively from ancestors who never broke the plane of any canadian territory.

so small and selective is this cohort that non-canadian status becomes trendy, elite, insular, privileged. to remedy this injustice, canada passes a final law to guarantee canadian citizenship to two categories of people:

1) canadians
2) non-canadians

@gouravsoni @dchackethal @Pierre795824248 @NeoRothbardian My guess is Popper would discard traditions “for tradition’s sake” while upholding a tradition because it could be the best available solution to a problem. Like perhaps group cohesion or expressions of joy/sadness , etc.

[Phil Mathies @pmathies]

@eigenrobot Hmmm My understanding is that no matter how much you rotate any state the name remains the same.

@robinhanson @SilverVVulpes “Do these pants make my butt look big?”
“Could you periodically write an essay on what you’re trying to achieve with your pants so that I can do a proper analysis in situations like this?”

@eigenrobot @georg3 oh my bad I was thinking a tasteful forest green would coordinate well with IRGC navy

@webdevMason Seems like the response is in some sense more linked to our disgust with regard to pedophilia than it is with regard to incest.

@mattgurney The episode you did today /w Mark Hertling was beautiful. Absolute banger. It reminded me of a lot of things I care about: Curiosity, respect, optimism and how even when things are total shit we have our friends.

[Phil Mathies @pmathies]

@arcthrower @mattgurney It’s analogous to insisting that the most important highly trained special ops commandos do a lot of civilian LE issuing traffic tickets, etc. Many allied health professionals can manage this and then our doctors can do more doctoring.

[Phil Mathies @pmathies]

@yacineMTB 100% agree. Only many Canadians won’t admit there’s a problem. Or that it’s urgent. So the people doing the “wah wah” thing are hopefully reaching those people. Negative externality being that it annoys you and me.

[Phil Mathies @pmathies]

@jengerson @SethAMandel A state of disarray. But goddamn it, this is 🇨🇦 and I’m staying. I’m finishing my coffee.

@realtimeai @chillingb158860 @AndrewHilaryUS Fell for the ol’ “there’s someone wrong on the internet” trap

[Phil Mathies @pmathies]

@realtimeai @chillingb158860 @AndrewHilaryUS Also, how would the ruling class ever not be the people who “don’t care about the value of their asset”? That sounds like a spoiled rich kid thing, not a normie thing. It’s extremely uncommon not to care about asset value. You have to tons of something before u stop valuing it.
