This looks pretty permanent. Built around the doors.

Guy has been rage baiting me to cancel for a while now but I am way too petty and would instead take the bus

You can literally test someone’s IQ in 90 seconds by asking them to pronounce 50 words. The more they get correct, the higher their IQ.

Convince me otherwise: I’m done with online poker. And before anyone says “variance,” believe me — I know variance. I know coolers. I know bad beats. I know what it feels like to get your money in good and watch the river punch you in the mouth. That’s poker. But this didn’t feel like poker. After withdrawing about a month ago, I gave @ClubWPTGold another shot and deposited again. Within maybe 25 total hands — not 25 orbits, 25 hands — I watched the same movie play over and over. Big raise. Flush draw calls. Flush gets there. Premium hand. Weak suited trash sticks around. Flush gets there. Flop a set with pocket 3s. Club draw on board. I re-raise all in. Flush gets there. K9 in the big blind. Flop top pair. Spade draw out there. Bet big. Get called. Shove. Flush gets there. At a certain point, you stop feeling like you’re playing opponents and start feeling like you’re playing the software. And here’s the part that bothered me even more: I sensed something was off and tried to withdraw my deposit. They wouldn’t let me take my money back. So now I’m not just running bad — I’m stuck playing on a platform I no longer trusted. That’s a terrible feeling for any poker player. Maybe it’s all variance. Maybe the RNG is fine. Maybe I just ran into the most perfectly timed flush-draw parade in recent memory. But poker is built on trust. If the player doesn’t trust the shuffle, the game is already dead. That’s why I’ll take live poker every day of the week. Give me the felt. Give me the chips. Give me the dealer. Give me the table talk. Give me the stare-downs, the timing tells, the pressure, the heartbeat, the human element. Poker was never meant to be a cold algorithm hidden behind a screen. It was meant to be played face-to-face, hand-to-hand, mind-to-mind. One day, when I build something in this space, it won’t be built for 20-table bots, silent grinders, or people staring dead-eyed at pixels. It’ll be built for the real game. The game with tension. The game with presence. The game with soul. Live poker forever. Online poker? I’m out.

As I listen to Americans explain why they voted for Trump or refused to vote for Harris, it strikes me that they just made things up in their heads that were not true, and the media did nothing to dissuade them. Trump never said anything about the education system other than attacking it. But this voter thinks he did, because the traditional media and social media was myopically concerned with whether Haitians were eating pets, and if Biden was old. There was no discussion of either party's platform, or the candidates' legacies. That was old news, and uninteresting. How can we blame this on the candidates themselves? They don't control the media, and have little if any power to direct it or correct the record once something goes viral. Voters themselves bear some responsibility to verify that their impressions are correct, but they have abdicated all civic responsibility, not that we ever had much to begin with. Truly, however, trying to explain the results of 2016, 2020, or 2024 without giving the media itself the majority of the blame is ridiculous. Trump lost in 2020 because the media never strongly attacked Biden, and Trump's poor handling of the early pandemic was widely reported. Trump won in 2016 and 2024 because the media was relentlessly negative about Clinton and Harris, giving Trump endless amounts of free press without scrutinizing his record or platform.

The "Middle 8" is one of 11 eight minute blocks in a football game. So what happens when we look at 6,674 FBS games over the last decade and see how impactful the middle 8 is vs the other 10 blocks? Might want to read the summary & request the data: matrixanalytical.com/post/th…

Still crazy Notre Dame’s season basically ended in September — 2:53 left in the fourth— due to that botched snap vs. Texas A&M. After that, it did not matter how many games they won. They dominated for 10 straight games. That was their playoff game. September 13th.

The fact that BYU is the only team in this list to be ledt out of both CFPs just further illustrates how corrupt the CFP really is.

This doesn't work for normal men and I'm going to explain why: What Tom Holland is doing here is called "counter-signalling." This works by demonstrating that you have so much surplus social status that you can get away with breaking social norms and expectations. For example: at most jobs everyone wears a suit or uniform to work and shows up at 8 AM...except for the owner of the company who shows up at noon wearing a t-shirt and jeans. The owner can do that because, as the owner, he has so much influence and status within the company that he can break the dresscode amd show up late and still get away with it. The regular employees can't do this, if they ever even tried it they would get fired. The same goes with the video below. Tom Holland can do it because he's a millionaire actor who plays spiderman, and Zendaya loves it because it's a display of the fact that he has so much social status that he can do this stuff and get away with it. If a regular man tried this on a first date (or even a 1pth date) it would look completely cringy. Being able to pull this off is a result of Tom Holland having enormous social status, it isn't the reason he has that status. It like the company owner: he doesn't own the company because he wears tshirts and shows up late, he wears tshirts and shows up late because he owns the company. Telling young men to aspire to do drag to get a girl gets the causation exactly backwards— Tom Holland isn't famous cause he can pull this off, he cannpull this off because he is rich and famous. This won't work for normal men because they don't have the social status to pull this off; confidence and "security" are irrelevant. I can have the security and confidence to show up late to work wearing a t-shirt instead of my suit or uniform; but if I do that I'll still get fired. The same thing applies here. How much status you have and the social position you occupy play a big role in determining how the signals you send get interpreted. A regular woman talking to a regular guy is going to have very different opinion of him if he shows up in drag than she does of the famous actor does over the top performative drag on a TV show. Telling young men that secure masculinity looks like doing drag performances is like telling people trying to get a promotion at work that they should wear t-shirts and show up late. It doesn't work that way.

Imagine believing for the rest of your life Michigan only beat this quarterback by 34 points over two years because of signs.

Texas was the ONLY SEC team to defeat a P4 non-conference opponent in a bowl game. This team was a LEGITIMATE THREAT to WIN the National Championship if they weren’t ROBBED from a College Football Playoff spot.

I still don't understand the hate for this movie

College football is just the process of saying every team is a fraud when they lose, until you get to the champion, who is inevitably also a fraud because every other team has already been exposed as a fraud so who did they really beat
