Based on the interview, it’s easier for me to believe the first option.
I think someone showed him the annotated picture and that person never believed he’d think the ms13 was literally part of the tattoo. Once he asserted it, who in his camp is going to tell him he’s wrong?
My macroecon book, which was written by a guy from the Bush administration, hit us over the head with that concept.
It’s strange to thing that he’d be considered a pariah by his party’s leadership now.
Why didn’t you drop the quotes from Turing, Minsky, and Lovelace?
Don’t put the squeeze on the voters. They either didn’t vote for trump, or they were so dumb that they did vote for trump won’t understand why their electric bill went through the roof.
The whole point of democracy is the voters have an impact. If nothing changes for the voters don’t be surprised when they vote for the same party next time.
This is an aerial view of Barbara Streisand’s Malibu home. The other dude seems to be referencing the Streisand effect.
I’m sure you can find articles that were very opposed to him because there’s lots of authors at NYT, but this one i found definitely does not read that negatively about Luigi.

Not just “see her as.” I’ve never heard of a transwoman giving birth. I’m a huge fan of niche edge cases though and I’ve heard of one accidental finding of an XY, assigned female at birth person giving natural birth. This case was mentioned in research that was studying a family that had women that were experiencing hirsutism.
LGBT people are something like 10-20% of the population.
It appears to be 5.5% of the population.
The reason studios put LGBT content in movies and games is that a lot of people in the real world, aka their customers, are LGBT.
If their population were small, disproportionate representation can still have a positive impact for awareness. That being said, I think a big reason for the representation is the percentage of people in the arts that is LGBT is greater than the general population. It would be tough making content and looking in the eyes of so many creatives while not including characters like them in stories.
Side note:
Maybe it’s not too realistic to have a bunch of out queer characters in a drama set in Elizabethan England.
All the recent period pieces I’ve seen have LGBT characters. I’m going to use this as a moment to advertise My Lady Jane. It’s not an entirely accurate depiction of the story of Lady Jane Grey (for obvious reasons), but it was an entertaining show.
Dude caused a dip in US GDP
That seems implausible. Do you have a source for that? or is that just exaggeration?
The security argument is a lie, I think. I think websites like Netflix like these features so it’s difficult to approach copying a video.
If security were an issue I don’t think you’d be able to copy text to the clipboard in situations where you can’t screenshot.
I used to hate the weekly model when streaming became popular, but I think people are better viewers when they watch weekly. It’s easier to have ongoing water cooler conversations about each episode, so your show gets consistent buzz. Plus you don’t have the extreme of a whole year+ to wait between seasons. If a classic show ended in May you could start a new season in September. By the time most modern shows have new seasons, I forgot 40% of what I saw last season.
