Mentally preparing myself for when the Chiefs win a playoff game against a backup QB or a beat up team, have an uncharacteristically bad game from Allen/Jackson, then win the Superbowl 24-20 after a tight defensive performance, some questionable calls, and a late TD.

What do you think being a second class citizen in the USA vs a regular citizen in the UK entails? Being able to open a bank account? Having a SSN?

I write to it exactly the same I would a work email "Could you please X? And consider Y as well. Thank you", since I suspect most of it's training data is illegally harvested gmails or something and therefore more likely to mirror it's operations

Others have given good answers but you seem to be trending in this direction for a question of fundamental assumptions or what productivity or gain really makes. Try this:
I don't see the use in framing common disagreements between different groups as some sort of political contradiction. Wanting more government regulation of the border or guns, but also wanting fewer EPA requirements for food or DEI requirements isn't a contradiction or a gotcha, it's a valid expression of people's political desires. Similarly, wanting healthcare but not have addictive or unnecessary procedures or medicine pushed on you is totally acceptable. I reject the notion that it's just a matter of politics as a broad claim you've made. I concede there is a large amount of political finagling and ideology in many of these decisions (whether by doctors, congress, hospitals, the federal executive), but I also believe you could parse out 60-75% of policy as being harmful or helpful to individuals and have broad (over 75%) public agreement.

Yes, I flagged that in brackets.

This seems like a misrepresentation or at least to have some logical leaps.
My objections:
- It's perfectly fine to hold those beliefs and still want accountability for a drug company that does bad things. Someone's desired counterfactual isn't limited to a binary.
- "I think these firms should do less to limit beneficial healthcare and do more to prevent harmful healthcare" isn't some gotcha where you should object "Well do you want more or fewer free markets"
- The tradeoff between good-quality tested opioids and sketchy street drugs isn't real. I can't pull them up right now but throughought the 2010s the economist had like 4 studies cited that showed about 60% of people dependent on street drugs (from someone else's prescription to black tar heroin) started out on prescription pain killers like oxycontin.

Mr Freeze is for the modern era, he uses technologically complex equipment such as an ice-gun and has the yet-unperfected technology similar to alcor, to keep his dying wife ins stasis.

I wonder if modern dynamic IPs work this way for Wikipedia (but not other websites) because Wikipedia logs your IP specifically for edit-tracking purposes. Creating specific demi-profiles for each of them behind the scenes. I don't know anything about networking this is just speculation.

If you won't make an account then it will be hard for a website to remember your preferences across different devices or cookies etc. I imagine your only option is to use an add on for example:

In the same vein I'm finding it harder and harder to approximate the value of these good RBs. On a really good offense they are clearly force multipliers, dynamic runners and catchers that add points to every game. The convention wisdom is that they aren't worth a lot of salary because they're replaceable, and even on bad teams they do very little. I'm more skeptical of this these days, seeing the big drop off in effectiveness on the Raiders and Giants offense after losing Jacobs and Barkley. The flipside of this is a good blocking and offensive team that has a bad RB who is carried by his environment. Najee Harris maybe? Not a lot of examples come to mind.

If the cops show up to my house for some stupid reason and want me to go sit in the squad car while they do whatever, and I thrash and kick and headbutt one of them like a BLM protester then yes, I do think it is fine to punish me for that, even if the original reason they were there didn't pan out. If you're more libertarian and completely disagree that the state and its agents should have some good faith wiggle room for mistakes or best practices that fine, but there's no sense in us spending 8 comments to reach that impasse.

The squirrel bit a guy I think. If a murderer built a house that tries to punch your balls every time you walked by I'd probably want to demolish it.

Probably that the animals spread disease and rabies and are more likely to bite their owners and have to be put down sooner or later anyway. Not sure though, the justification might begin with the negation that he was the right to own this specific property.

A plain reading of my comment is clearly that this policy is eminently reasonable, these things happen frequently and are mundane, and this story's notoriety is unrelated to its merit, but the man involved is flooding social media for personal gain. That's not enough analysis for a reply to a thread?

He deserved to have his feral disease ridden animals taken because he is a degenerate pornstar and vain social media publicity seeker. This non story is total brain melting slop.
I'm sure every animal department has stupid policies where they needlessly kill tame housebroken foxes and let feral pitbulls continue to eat toddlers: https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/09/16/cardiologists-and-chinese-robbers/

Reddit-style forums like this have always felt bad for live update events since the multitude of nested threads and lack of strict chronology is hard to track

Yeah someone should make a discord (cringe i'm sorry) or a telegram channel for fast cool witty motte update/analysis

How far is this Deshaun Watson situation going to go? All of the analysis I've seen suggests that because of the unique total guarantees in his contract, they are almost completely unable to cut him. Benching him would make the entire coaching and front office team look so bad that they would probably need to be fired - they seem so tied to him that the usual strategy of starting the backup to limp to 7-8 wins to avoid being fired seems impossible.
Solutions?
- In the NBA we sometimes see awful players with huge contracts just floating around on the team for a few years
- New regime manufactures a reason to cut him and not pay his salary for rape or other reasons
- Same coaching staff comes back for 2 years and gets fired the same time they can be rid of the Watson contract
- Retain 20 or 30% of his contract while shoveling lots of picks for another bad team to take the contract
- Trade all of their good players for picks and admit they won't be good until 2027
The NFL's typical lack of guaranteed contracts makes this look like a solution doesn't really fit.
That's why congestion pricing is a very small toll.
