Nothing

@OrganizationTao @ZhugeEX Naw you'd be surprised. The car culture here in the US creates bubbles.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@fredsoda @DriveTime99 Teams like Germany, Netherlands (Morocco was probably better), Belgium, and Brazil are not playing like the more talented team. Belgium has never played like the more talented team even during their golden generation. Kagawa looked like the best player for half the match in 2018.

@redrock_bball @bencsin xRAPM has Kon at 86th percentile and Flagg at 61st, DBPM has Jokic a mouse fart behind Wemby in defense. I might have exaggerated but I'd argue "advanced stats" *is* anti-intellectualism. It's intellectually lazy to just want some regression to tell you who is the better player.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@bencsin @redrock_bball The same intellectualism that states that Kon is a 85+ percentile defender and Flagg is a 50th percentile defender. Mindless plug and chug math.

@AaronBastani @fabianhrodney Spain and Argentina regularly trot out some of the smallest squads and they have performed perfectly fine.

@pplsartofwar Also western libs doing apples to oranges comparisons as long as it fits their mental system.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@bilepeddlar @pplsartofwar It was just a couple months ago the author (Indian) of a book on development stated it. It's probably floating around somewhere. She wrote the tweet after having visited China recently having visited in the 2000s and compared India and China.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@PAstynome @pplsartofwar The West would love nothing better than a weak India subservient to their whims.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@pplsartofwar Sad stuff. Not sure if it is a regional thing but in NYC most Indians I know are pretty much like, "I wish India developed like China."

@LapisLazAlter @gonglei89 Dude, in the 90s they were still dumping pig's and chicken's blood onto the streets. I have been many, many times from the 90s till COVID since half of my family is still there. You have no clue what you are talking about. It used to smell like shit everywhere.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@gonglei89 Yeah, that dude is a typical lib. And they wonder why someone like Trump wins. I couldn't find his number in the the report, maybe I didn't look hard enough, lol, not worth it.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@PatrickHeizer @mgalindo_gif @AJPreziosi Where in the report is it reported? I just did a quick and dirty pass through and I didn't see it.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@KaiserKuo @AngelicaOung Why do we only send critical eyes to China (or any of our geopolitical "enemies") and none to our allies? We do not get that same criticality towards, say Germany, when they have violently shutdown protests and free speech.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@gonglei89 Yet he doesn't think for a second that his country has already surrendered to US vassalage. Instead he is going after hypothetical Chinese vassalage.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@_Zeets Sad he went on to clarify he isn't joking and expects things to go that way.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@DanPizzaGuy @extra_beef_ New Lines was also affiliated with the Fairfax University of America, a school with more staff than students (17). Also prior to the rebranding they openly advertised their affiliations with military contractors and intelligence (a lot of Newlines old staff came from Stratfor).

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@joequant Joe, you are arguing with people who think, "why is this chink following me?" Not worth it. You won't convince that guy.

[thunderchunky @thunderchunkydf]

@fredleept Their pay masters feel good when they hear it.
