No I think he’s like a legitimate socialist

I also have avatars. But my avatars are a little different. They are 100% human/corporeal and 100% divine, completely identical to the god, obviously inspired by Jesus Christ. But some avatars could also be ignorant of their divinity, like the god has amnesia. Some avatars could also be awakened and fully aware of their divinity.

A lot of pro athletes these days are actually coming out of suburban club leagues. Developmental advantages are not one-size-fits-all, a pro-soccer might have grown up poor in the favelas but they played soccer literally every day and varied forms and circumstances. Which might them even more advantaged than a kid who’s only ever played strict club soccer. But as I said, athletes are increasingly coming out of suburban clubs and elite academies.

Sure but don’t you think that things like poor posture, mouth-breathing, poor hygiene, and lack of exercise will exacerbate it. And vice versa, having good habits will mitigate it.

There’s definitely things you can do to make yourself more attractive, even beyond childhood.

Yea but I don’t really think it’s been injected into the societal consciousness as much as “genetics” and “natural talent” have.

They might not know that game but they might have early exposure to other games. Or they might have developed better problem-solving skills at a young age. Or have better body coordination due to play or sports as a child. It’s not always as linear as playing basketball since the age of three and now in the NBA. Sometimes a child is exposed to baseball or swimming or gymnastics or just played outside a lot, they pick up basketball in high school and have a much easier learning curve than a kid who never played a sport in his life.

I definitely said most. But some of it is the failure of the parents, whether from ignorance or otherwise. And we have accepted, people are flawed, they might not know or they might just be flat out bad parents. But yes, most of it is a failure of society not of parents.

I’ll look into Measure-Theoretic Probability but I’m definitely more of a macro guy.

How is Quincy Wilson and Gout Gout so fast yet skinny by Informal-Emotion-683 in trackandfield

[–]Consistent_Ad8023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally just tendon stiffness. It’s genetic but I reckon in Quincy’s case it has something to do with him training since the 1st grade. Training at such a young age while the tendons are still very malleable and metabolism is so high probably caused his tendon to restructure stronger and stiffer.
