I'd be wary of someone who liked James Joyce. I just can't support that kind of thing.

There’s also the opposite approach, where you imagine a largish number of doors, say twenty. Month Hall opens eighteen of them to reveal goats. How can a person still believe that the odds that they correctly picked the car and should not switch are one in two?

It's just very difficult to get over the hurdle of 2 doors = 1/2 chance. People ignore the amount of starting doors (actually, that's what the guy in the tweet does). Can't really blame them.

Related, there's a guy who's been raging against the conservation of angular momentum for about 30 years now. Link to a reddit thread he made and his website.

pf2e suffers from having too many cooks. the player materials for orcs are pretty decent, but the monster manual poo poo is still the same old savage monsters who only respect strength (but fear magic for some reason) poo poo that they've always done.

also the entry for kobolds describes them as chill anarchists until something stronger than then shows up, at which point they abandon all that for worshipping power

It's an interesting perspective, but I wouldn't take it as gospel. The 45T number is kind of... made up.

A Buttery Pastry posted:

Assuming similar birthrates for the period 1700-1950, India is missing about 31 billion person-years over that 250 year period. With a life expectancy of around 25 for most of that period, that is equal to 1.25 billion additional deaths compared to China. Or I guess, equal to 1.25 billion people dying 25 years earlier than they would have under a rule similar to China's.

Turns out the truth truly was in the middle.

Yeah this seems more reasonable once you think about it, if you're fine with calculating things that way. The number just hit that "way too high" trigger. The mongolian one always did too, but I've never looked into it. It seems like a lot of murder over 100 years, but maybe it's using the same methodology?

Last year I was walking by a house with one of those 12 foot skeletons in the front yard. I overheard a kid in the family behind me excitedly yelling out “Skeleton!” and then the father sarcastically saying “Don’t tell Joyce Carol Oates” while sounding like he was rolling his eyes. Definitely one of the stranger moments I’ve had of online and real life intersecting

This lady must be in the top 3 all time worst columnists ever, alongside Friedman and Malcom Gladwell. You have to admire it

dont know about that lady, but megan mcardle is absolutely in the top 3. don't think gladwell is TBH



(72 dead, published before half had even been counted)

see https://theoutline.com/post/2303/megan-mcardle-has-a-lot-of-bad-ideas. all of the claims have links

quote:

McArdle made her entrée into media in 2001, when she started the blog Asymmetrical Information under the pseudonym Jane Galt (a reference, of course, to Ayn Rand’s arch-capitalist manifesto Atlas Shrugged). Her commentary, which included her scoffing at claims that the Iraq War would end up costing trillions (it’s estimated that the total cost of the war will exceed $6 trillion) and fantasizing about anti-war protesters being clubbed with two-by-fours, impressed the dullards at The Economist enough that they hired her to write for their website in 2003. In 2007, she moved to The Atlantic, where her very first column, titled “Don’t Panic,” downplayed fears of the recession that was to commence five months later. “So while I wouldn't say you should be exactly sanguine about the mess in the markets, it's not time to panic yet. Save that for the Yankees' pitching lineup,”

" Even with a fudge factor of 50%, that's $90b over the next six months, $180b a year. At that rate, assuming you do absolutely no discounting at all, it would take us over 10 years to get to $2t, thus meeting the "trillions" criteria. Which is madness.
"

well she got the cost roughly right at least.

and you know how much money she makes a year for writing absolute shite? i don't and i don't want to.
