who would you say is the most prominent trans critic of McBride that is also pro-Platner? almost all the Platner discourse I see is people dunking on screenshots from Twitter, it's wild to me to hear that there is a sizable intersection in these groups.

Does this describe a single person on this website?

hey, I remember dial-up, so if those chips are obsolete...

i don't mean to Pagliacci Richard, but honestly this is how i feel about Statistical Rethinking too. technically it doesn't have much in terms of prereqs, and it's very friendly!

Say what you will about the royalty and nobility, but they were generally very good at class consciousness!

If like most people you're prone to visceral reactions, you are going to whine about them. If you are strategically-minded you are going to try to mollify them.

To thank god it passed, only an imbecile would have fought.

To maybe it will pass, but only because of traitors who must be dealt with.
November 10, 2025 at 7:23 AM
This is even funnier. We start with no chance of it passing.

This is a very funny example. Scroll back to his timeline to him yelling at people for being stupid enough to believe that the Dems would ever surrender.
One of the things I do not understand is the belief that hey, we can indefinitely starve poor kids because if we just believe, we can make 47 greater than 53.
Omg elections have consequences???????

Sorry, who is the group who is voting for the Trump agenda?

The actual dissidents are supportive of the boycott, so by adopting your framing what you end up doing is supporting the conforming academics within Israel at the expense of the dissident ones!

This is exactly where I am coming from. At my job I am responsible for developing two LLM-driven prototypes, and I don't think either has a snowball's chance in hell of getting to a point where we might be able to deploy it to customers, but I have to keep at it because of investors and management.

The political opposition should not be referring to Trump’s killing spree as “kinetic strikes,” and adults should not be saying “bad guys.”

Setting aside the insanity of that statement, *you* said *even* Pritzker.
November 8, 2025 at 7:12 PM
What do you mean *even* Pritzker? After Shapiro, he's probably the most rabidly zionist dem governor.

There are no queues outside any of the government-run stores in the US, sounds like a German incompetence problem.

it's a reference to the WW2 car-sharing posters, which were similarly over the top.
