@NLRG_it Maybe I'm missing additional context. Reading just these screenshots, I'm not sure she didn't mean, "Tomorrow [i.e., while our current system is still in place] […] that's what's going to happen [because that's how our current system works, though we want to change that]."

@brent_e_trader @idobadtakes You (or your doctor) can see from the stats that a "positive" (so called) result is so likely to be false that you shouldn't worry about it much, it's definitely not worth the risk of an invasive risky confirmation, and it should just be filed away for diachronic monitoring.

@ProfBootyPhD @JeffLadish You (or your doctor) can know from the stats that the "positive" (so called) is so likely to be false that you shouldn't worry about it much, it's definitely not worth the risk of an invasive risky confirmation, and it should just be filed away for diachronic monitoring.

In 1969, the BBC shows off what may be the most amazing model train set ever assembled.

@katrosenfield It will matter a lot if people think it's just an easily controlled tool, but instead it turns out to be a superhumanly powerful and adaptive force autonomously driving at ends incompatible with human life (because of, e.g., *literally* ocean-boiling levels of waste heat).

@hradzka Also new Tolkien.

[Prof Dimitra Fimi @Dr_Dimitra_Fimi]

When I caveat research points about Tolkien (e.g. there’s no evidence that he knew/meant that - that we *know* of) is because there’s still primary material out there we haven’t seen yet. This is a case in point: newly discovered letter by Tolkien to be sold by Christie’s

@StickelTedward @bcherny According to the article in the OP, they aren't assuming that: "many Linear A inscriptions are inventories cataloging the trade of different commodities, so they don’t tell us much about the language."

@FomoReviews @neetu_arnold @WSJopinion @usnews In the contexts where people want to use their grades to signal anything (which is where the pressure to inflate grades comes from), this policy would help for the reason I gave. Elsewhere, this policy is neutral, but there's no pressure to inflate coming from there anyway.

@melsorbit @michaelt5656 A Charlie Kirk quote to that effect was widely shared. See the 53:45 mark here: https://t.co/E2SF3R0jUR

[Tyrrell McAllister 🔍 @tbmcal]

@FomoReviews @neetu_arnold @WSJopinion @usnews Yes, if you think you're better than average. If potential employers can see that everyone got an A, they won't be impressed by your A. You'll oppose grade inflation so that your relatively higher grade will stand out more.

@sarahhepola @katrosenfield Pretty sure it was the women's suffrage meta-discourse started by this post: https://t.co/9whbaPiPnb

[wanye @xwanyex]

I’m not even super right wing on questions of suffrage. I’m certainly willing to entertain all kinds of arrangements. But what I believe pretty strongly is that there are no intellectuals remaining on the left with respect to this stuff. I just literally don’t know how you can watch us speed run into having a girls party and a boys party and still have basically no introspection about the intersection of gender and politics beyond just, “patriarchy bad.”

Like, never, even in your darkest moments, even when you’re alone on a desert island and no one can see you or hear you and there’s no risk of you getting in trouble, do you ever think critically about the consequences of universal suffrage? Do you literally have no critiques? Do you genuinely believe there are no downsides? Will you not allow yourself to have any ordinary thoughts at all?

@M_Eashoo "u - In this account, the "Itself" is; that ""whose"" relations to Itself constitute the trinity.
me -yup u called the trinity - itself"

We can't even agree on what I said in this very conversation. I'm not optimistic we're going to agree on what other people (or YHVH) said.

[Tyrrell McAllister 🔍 @tbmcal]

@M_Eashoo Before we proceed with the conversation, did you understand my response to your original reply to me?

[Tyrrell McAllister 🔍 @tbmcal]

@M_Eashoo @WomanCorn You've lost me.

[Tyrrell McAllister 🔍 @tbmcal]

@M_Eashoo @WomanCorn No, the "Itself" is not the trinity. In this account, the "Itself" is that whose relations to Itself constitute the trinity.
