How many kilowatt hours of energy were wasted on that slop?

The Trump administration is trying to get that legislation passed right now. There is word they might even try to do it via executive order

Right… because nobody has ever warned humanity about creating a false god on earth or anything


Even the name of this freaks me out. You couldn’t have used any name other than the first book of the Bible? Feels like they’re laying all the groundwork for a new religion

You know that there are also foreign sock puppets on this site, right?

What part of that video demonstrated a lack of civility and/or decency?

90% of those people are just fricking with the other 10%

Larger houses doesn’t help first time home buyers trying to find their starter home. It prices them out of the market.


All your reply did is give a concrete example to my assertion that there is a mismatch between supply and demand. You supported my argument without event realizing it.

I don’t think the dispute was that he was one of the greats. I think the dispute is that he was a great from a clear different era than all the rest. At least I assume


Bird’s era would be something like him, MJ, Kareem, Magic, and Moses Malone

If you had to replace him with someone from the 90s/2000s for the Kobe lineup, I’d go Scottie or Grant Hill


And yes, I’m allowing MJ in both the Bird and Kobe lineups… he was that good

As of now, you are correct. But this is also the piece of the equation that needs to change.




The problem is in this objective being the ONLY priority of the firm vs making it the PRIMARY priority of the firm. Right now it is the only priority; we need to find a way to switch it to the primary priority.

Consider this parallel. This most important job of a parent is to keep their child alive. That is the PRIMARY responsibility. But if the parent over-interprets that mandate, and instead treats it as the ONLY responsibility, well that’s how you wind up in bubble boy territory. And you end up raising a weird fricking kid. Sometimes a parent has to let their child be exposed to risk so that the child can grow into a fully functional, well adjusted adult. Even if that means risking injury in the short term.

Same concept for corporations. When you transform your PRIMARY responsibility into your ONLY responsibility, you end up building a weird fricking firm. And one that is not well adjusted to integrate into broader society.
