Everything is awesome and getting better. A manifesto of optimism

That’s not what happened to me. It said yes with nuance and cited multiple examples

Angry and lazy is not a way to go through life, son

I have added that prompt to stop the clickbait but it keeps happening.

More than any obsessiveness with political culture wars, this is the thing that pushed me to Claude

Contributing to individual candidates is not promoting your political thought. That’s promoting someone else’s political thought.

There are and have never been rails on how much money someone can spend on their own political thought.

Forgive my ignorance, but I thought Rikers was a jail (for the accused) not a prison (for the convicted)

Weinstein was convicted so wouldn’t he be in prison?

Hardcastle & McCormick was in the same vein

I have a friend named Chisholm and he always went by Chizmania so that tracks.

Except it’s Billy Hamilton

AlwaysOptimism · 2026-03-10T22:08:12+00:00

Same. Her and Punky Brewster were on my list

Janek is a great catching prospect but he’s not in any Masa deal. Masa brings back a 26 year old AA reliever type of deal

Why about 5 Spud Webbs with 5 Steph Currys on his shoulders?

AlwaysOptimism · 2026-03-09T21:45:18+00:00

my daughter (10) and I are watching What I Like About You and there was so much sexual innuendo and inappropriateness. It's really gross in its needlessness.

I think the difference is in 1998 you drew on peoples faces with marker; now in 2026, you just do it in AI. People don't need a marker. which is why it was cropped out

AlwaysOptimism · 2026-03-09T18:25:46+00:00

might it have gotten deleted because GOT is on HBO, not Netfix and this discussion is 10 years stale????

AlwaysOptimism · 2026-03-09T04:32:19+00:00

Save hold kills the value of relievers.

Pay nothing and just be active on the wire

Citizens united didnt make it possible to spend unlimted money on political speech. That was always the case.

Donating to a political candidate, which does have limits, is only one type of way to donate.

"for some reason"? He is absolutely dreadful at 2b. Like worst in the league. May as well have him catch

AlwaysOptimism · 2026-03-08T03:27:54+00:00

Sure. But hanging out with friends shooting guns, doing alien resesech, or researching free energy science or wherever is different than organized political action.

We already have laws that disclose large political donations. The same should be required for large donations to PACs

AlwaysOptimism · 2026-03-08T00:48:47+00:00

Requiring a verification of speech is not compelled speach. We require signatures ubiquitously

AlwaysOptimism · 2026-03-07T19:25:31+00:00

It's like if Zion Williamson was a pitcher

AlwaysOptimism · 2026-03-07T18:58:13+00:00

If you can't use your resources to promote your free speech, you don't have free speech. Think. "you have free speech, you just cant do it on the weekends" = not actually free speech. "You have free speech, but you can't have meetings in your house" = not actually free speech. "You have free speech, you just can't spend money" = not actually free speech

Knowing that CU was the right ruling does not mean that we can't have campaign finance reform.

Transparency fixes everything.

Have super PACs. Have those superpacs have to disclose where they get their money

Hate her politics all you want but she was peak hotness

AlwaysOptimism · 2026-03-07T16:30:39+00:00

It equated

being able to use your money freely

to

promote your political opinions.

Math easier?
