I think salaries are sufficiently high that players betting on NBA games is probably rare, but…. Imagine what someone slightly less retarded could pull off.
Basic precautions like meeting in person, using intermediaries, small bets, etc. Likely very difficult to prosecute.
@NFLFrascella Wouldn’t call it scathing or explosive overall. The ticket thing was public - she bragged about it on a podcast, and there was not really anything new of substance.
@justalexoki Theo Von is a noted economist who thinks on the margin. Hes concerned with the impact of the marginal data center, not data centers in general
@Peter_Bukowski Brown’s a great player and even younger than Giannis, but he turns 30 in October and realistically the bucks aren’t competing for a championship for at least several years. Narrow window to make use of what’s left of JBs prime.
@RealDianeYap How one thinks about philosophy (or ideas generally) says something about the person.
It’s really just the banal stories that I dislike, not all experience. If you can relate your experience to ideas or generalities, I would be more interested on average.
@RealDianeYap Like - I can still care deeply about you and value you for your insights into abstract things while not being terribly interested in your mundane experiences/gossip.
@RealDianeYap I think this is a woman thing lol.
It’s not that men don’t care *at all* about experiences, but they would rather talk about ideas. At least in my experience - if I’m tuning out it’s usually some boring story about work, if I’m engaged it’s usually about something abstract.
@RealDianeYap I agree, actually. You should smile and nod for the most part, I only narrowly objected to the idea that you don’t care about someone if you are uninterested in their day.
@memeticsisyphus Yeah I don’t really get why everyone is pretending the office isn’t offensive by today’s network comedy standards. Prison Mike, a number of black stereotypes about Stanley, rape jokes, etc.
It’s sort of grandfathered in because the previous generation of woke women loved it.
@Aella_Girl I agree, but worth noting:
- there’s a spectrum of “not wanting sex” with your husband, when is it not enough?
- unlikely most women would be able to overcome sexual jealousy —> relationship deteriorates.
Maybe this is why the equilibrium used to be “just don’t embarrass me”.
@SaladBarFan Ezra is smart but still deeply wants to be a good boy so he wastes a lot of time pandering to the left. Yglesias and the argument people don’t care as much and more openly liberal, even if they self censor a bit on race or whatever.
@JoshGarey@BillyReinhardt Your post implied people thought the Knicks couldn’t beat several teams. That is an inaccurate generalization, as the market has favored them against each opponent.
