Is there no simple gut instinct at work here? "This thing lies by design, and unchangeably based on its fundamental technological construction, and is therefore unsuited to replacing human science communication"
Nope. Just gets shrugged off as a minor whoopsie

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start
If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

That’s how you buy loyalty: by giving jobs to people who would most likely never have gotten them under normal circumstances. They will do anything to hold on to that job including breaking laws they barely grasp. Resource dependence theory (Pfeffer & Salancik) led to the “golden handcuff” theory.

Objectively this is utter bollocks. *Sellers* are the ones advantaged by lack of comparable stock, not buyers. In a non-fantasy economy anyway

This is such a weird comment. Who better to deliver a message to a player than the person responsible for their welfare? Melbourne is not the only club doing it.

Really thought Berlin Chair would be Top 20. One of my three picks that made the 80-90 range (Heart's a Mess, Cigarettes Will Kill You). No confidence I'll hear any of my others higher

I'm going to put this graph here and reveal the context on Monday with the latest data point added. See if you can guess from the axis labels. The slope is about 6, but it's unrelated to goals. Simple regression has p < 0.003 using either Shot Equity or actual points margin.
