  1. He's not cancelled. He just violated the first rule of being a politician - always pretend you care. The truth is none of them do, but they can't let people know that. All he has to do is pretend he double-triple cares and he'll be fine. That's what Biden does with his racism. He tries to hide it by pretending to be double-triple not racist, and people really believe he's not racist.

    Grandfather Paradox

    It's weird how people misuse the concept of quantum superposition and no one seems to call them out on it, but it sounds good and he said a bunch of mathy stuff, so it must be SCIENCE! and therefore unassailable. I guess the video bugs me because, they know people aren't going to know what superposition is and how it relates to the double slit experiment, nuclear fusion, etc., and no one is going to follow the mathematical jargon he threw out " but won't get into now" (because he totally could, he just doesn't want to), so the end result is this must be true because it's complicated.

    If a Civil War started....would you enlist?

    I don't feel sorry for them at all
  4. Like bro... That was your employee. Maybe you should've had better processes in place.
  5. I'd counter sue for $20M and claim the jags tried to defraud FanDuel by wagering funds with the intent on claiming they should be reimbursed in the event they lost money.

    Take that.

    A similar thing happened to me in a high school game once. A guy got mad because I was blocking him out, and he grabbed me by my neck from behind and dragged me to the ground. That almost started a fight between our teams. In an act of karma, later on the guy hurt his knee while I was guarding him and went down in a crumpled heap. I took the ball from him as he laid there and stepped over him to go down the court. His teammates were pissed because I didn't stop to address the injury, so I asked, "I'm supposed to give a about the dude who drug me to ground 20 minutes ago?" That almost started a fight too, but we just did the basketball thing where we take turns lightly shoving each other.

    Sure. In general, you'll be right more often than wrong, so why just throw it all out?
  8. Depends on how fast you could get the punt off, but yeah, of you could catch it and get it off in the right amount of time as well as punt it 200 yards you'd be pretty sought after.

    I think you'd have a pretty high hit rate on what folks' beliefs are. And I'm quite sure you're very unique and complex so that wouldn't apply to you, but in general it's probably not inaccurate.

    I remember a story about 15 years ago, before stores and marketing were as sophisticated as it is today. Target was sending pregnancy ads to some family's house addressed to the teenage daughter. The father got all pissed and went to target to complain that they were marketing pregnancy stuff to his teen. Turns out they knew she was pregnant because she bought like a certain bag and some lotion or some shìt. Then target started burying the targeted ads in with other stuff so it didn't look as creepy. Moral of the story is it's pretty easy to figure out people from a few data points.

    To be fair, a lot of times you can tell what people think by what they write. I don't get why everyone thinks they're so much more complex and unique than everyone else. The whole Cambridge analytics thing, Facebook, AI, etc. is based on the fact that it's pretty easy to extrapolate beliefs based on a few data points.

    Todays makes the third time

    The vast majority of people have never totalled a car in their lives. I get everyone thinks they're the greatest driver in the world, but if you've totaled two cars because people pulled out in front of you, you're probably not driving carefully enough. Fault or no fault.

    Wait. It was a study? Oh, that makes it easy. Guys just say it's flawed.

    Will Travis Kelce Retire After The SB ?

    He's had too many jabs. He'll die during the game and we'll have Taylor weeping over his lifeless body.

    I assume this some spoof of another thread, or are you really that bad at driving?

    Super Bowl LVIII: Chiefs vs. 49ers

    I'm rooting for Taylor to get her first super bowl ring. I think those kids are going to make it.

    The only thing studies are good for is providing examples of faulty studies

    Coronavirus - Doomsday

    Another worthless study.
  20. Not really the max. He stole thousands of returns and only got charged for one of them. 5 years though seems about right to me. This whole undermining democracy angle the judge is taking it too far though.

    NFL games fixed?

    Man, people really believe he wasn't fixing games. There was a giant ESPN piece where the guy he was working with described it. I'll probably never understand people's unwillingness to acknowledge the obvious.

    NFL games fixed?

    This is a bizarre conversation. An NBA ref went to jail for fixing games, and people are saying there is no way games are fixed.
