Top notch content. Right up there with his popcorn button on the microwave video.
If anything I need to rethink how I communicate that I’m not offended by people using social media, but I am offended by hypocrisy. I thought for sure that’s what I typed out. I don’t care that it came off as rude.
OP absolutely thought so. Their exact words were “Sorry my wanting to have the small amount of human contact I have outside my own family on a daily basis is so offensive to you.”.
That’s not even what I was implying. I don’t care how much someone uses social media. I saw a comment on a social media platform about not using social media and couldn’t help but roll my eyes. Then I clicked their profile and saw that they’re averaging more than 100 comments a day for almost a year.
Was it flippant? Absolutely. Was it a gotcha moment? Maybe, but only in the sense that I was planning on pointing out the hypocrisy in implying they don’t use social media on a social media platform, and instead found the exact kind of social media addict that the article describes
You caught me. I’m biased against people who play Word Cookies.
Didn’t say it was offensive. Just pointing out that you are, in fact, using a lot of social media.
The 35k comments in 11 months says otherwise.
Even presidents with secret service detail have been assassinated. Taylor Swift has been dealing with stalkers showing up at the airport for years, and there isn’t much her security detail can do about it until they draw a weapon or something. I don’t agree with the legislation, but that doesn’t mean the problem isn’t real.
Both bring more money into the city than they spend or they wouldn’t do it. The absurdity is that the billionaires would still build the stadiums and the money would still flow even if the cities refused to foot the bill. What blows my mind about the idea of a city paying every player on a team is that if the city is making enough in taxes to effectively DOUBLE the salaries of every player, then those same greedy billionaire owners can definitely afford to pay their players even more.
Probably has something to do with the trade restrictions on certain chips.
This is just a crude early version. Eventually the tiles will be significantly smaller, quieter, and less prone to ripping toes off.
Nokia only sold off their consumer mobile phone arm. It was the least profitable part of their business. They’re still a massive company and doing quite well.
Not saying you’re wrong, but she had a baby at 14 that shares the rapist’s DNA. I don’t think there’s any doubt he did it.
And you asked about the NBA, which is basketball.
In baseball, there’s a long history of women playing with men. Lizzie Murphy played in the minors in the 20s. Jackie Mitchel struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in an exhibition game in the 30s while playing in the Southern League. Toni Stone, Connie Morgan, and Mamie Johnson played in the Negro Leagues in the 50s. Ila Borders pitched for the St. Paul Saints in the 90s. Eri Yoshida pitched in several men’s leagues over the last decade or so. Stacy Piagno played in the Pacific League a few years ago. Kelsie Whitmore is currently playing in the Atlantic League. There are also several women currently coaching men at the highest levels - Justine Siegal, Bianca Smith, Rachel Balkovec, Alyssa Nakken, Sarah Edwards.
There are none, and I literally just told you why. In sports like basketball, strength is so important that being more skilled than a man isn’t enough to overcome the physical disadvantage women have. It’s not that women are banned from the NBA.
The ability to jump really high is the obvious example in the NBA. Plenty of women are tall. There are plenty who can handle a ball and shoot at that level. But it’s incredibly rare for women to dunk, and that’s something everyone in the NBA can do. Spud Webb, at 5’7", could do it so well he won the slam dunk contest in '86. Meanwhile, only 8 women in the history of the WNBA have done it, and the vast majority of those dunks belong to Brittney Griner, who’s 6’9".
That’s not true. Several cis women play college and professional baseball. The same is true of endurance sports or ones where skill or intelligence are more important than strength. In pretty much every major sport, cis women are absolutely allowed to compete with men, but strength is so important in those sports that being more skilled isn’t enough to make up for the physical disadvantage.
Yes, trans men can and do compete with cis men. It’s not talked about as much because the concern is usually about fairness, and those concerns just aren’t there with trans men. If you’re not able to transition when other boys are going through puberty, you’re always going to be behind on muscle mass, and taking extra hormones to catch up is going to get you banned from competing for the same reason taking steroids will get a cis man banned.
Also, why are you putting women in quotes?
“Engineers have been circulating an old, famous-among-programmers web comic about how all modern digital infrastructure rests on a project maintained by some random guy in Nebraska. (In their telling, Mr. Freund is the random guy from Nebraska.)”
That’s not quite right. Lasse Collin is the random guy in Nebraska. Freund is the guy that noticed the whole thing was about to topple.
I think they’re giving you shit for using github.
