  • Still not totally convinced he's not doing a long con bit.

  • This one is a problem for me. There are few things in the world I'll actually get upset and in arguments about. Whether or not someone knows they're being so silly as to appear like they're joking is top of the list. They could look no more like a parody than they already do. Is this supposed to be taken at face value?

  • If not this, what exactly do they think financing is?

    This is the entire fucking basis of their entire worldview. Actuarial data regarding ROIs and interest is the entire shtick. To them there should be nothing else that is important, nothing else should be considered sacred or important besides the APR generating a profit. Otherwise that's a compulsion to care about something and you would have to be like a jedi resisting the urge to be seduced by the dark side. Max Steiner Stirner would spit on your grave if you thought that this is anything but the most holy of civil interactions.

  • I don't think I fell for anything. I kinda hope good things will happen. Even if, in all likelihood, I will live to see him become a rerun of AOC. I wasn't going to run around yelling "Zorhan is stupid. You're all stupid."

    I'm not saying a mayor is powerless[1], but, with my knowledge limited to simply vibes, I don't really expect him to be able to declare that New York is a bastion of resistance against the federal government and he will offer to use the NYPD to spearhead the vanguard party. Further, he called himself a succdem, so this kind of snafu makes sense.

    I don't know what I expect or want besides having political relevance to the point that American leftists stop getting conflated with Schumer.

    [1] Just saw a post about him hiring people and he hired a fucking real estate memer???

  • When I'm sparring in BJJ (martial art about submission wrestling) I have this idea that, as a brown belt (proximate to a black belt), I need to go a little harder against people so that they have something to aspire to. Like if the highest rank people are pushovers, why would you want to work hard? Why would you feel like the art has anything to offer you? But if the big dogs are flipping you into the ground and threatening a submission every other second then you're like "oh, I see the skills I could develop if I stick with it."

    Well, this weekend a 0 stripe white belt came into the academy (as new as you can get). I go with them because I mean to be polite and welcoming. I usually just give them a dilemma and have them think their way through it. Like if I mount them but also their arms are up by their ears, I let them escape. This person tells me "don't go easy on me." It's so the opposite of what I usually hear. People are always like "don't break me. I have a job. I'm just going to sit down so we don't do stand up." I had to make sure I heard them correctly. After confirming it I have no qualms about it because, unlike traditional martial arts, I only really learned how to do it without any emphasis on any kind of moral code. So I think it sounds like fun.

    Comrades, I go at this motherfucker at competition pace. I'm looking for throws and, if they had stepped back at a bad angle, I'd yank them and they'd have flipped over my hip or shoulder. I don't even need to bother with submissions because I simply jammed my knee into their stomach until they tapped. I'm doing aftercare after the "submissions," making sure they felt safe, respected, and they still wanted to do it. I keep squeezing them instead of getting chokes or joint locks. If ever I didn't have a clear attack and I needed to think for a split second, I yank on something so that only I get thinking time and they don't.

    At the end they go "so, do you have any tips?" and I come out of a trance. It's as if I'd just come out of the avatar state and all my past incarnations had been looking at them like they were the firelord. I don't think I gave them much of a chance to do anything other than tap. So I'm just like "you should keep showing up to class." Then, upon reflection, I'm considering how that was the biggest thrashing I've given out in a long time. Like I just did violence to what is essentially a layman and there's nobody to talk to them or myself - the coach was lower rank than me so it's not like I'm looking at them for a thumbs up or thumbs down. We just go about the rest of the class after that. They appreciate it and thank me on their way out, so it seems like I lived up to expectations.

  • The proportion of female to male dialogue in Final Fantasy.

    Jump

  • My brain is not doing critical thinking right now. Does that mean women are overrepresented in dialogue because they speak more than the % of characters that are women? That can't be right because you'd never expect all speaking roles to be equal. What can you interpret from that data point?
