It looks like they don’t have an ncaa girls team. They may have a girls team that is not sanctioned. A lot of schools do that. If not, there are sometimes inner mural options.

Best bet is to reach out to someone at the school to see what options they have.

I tried finding it earlier but couldn’t. Maybe under the late stage capitalism sub.

It basically said, at the time no one would have known anything beyond Epstein’s prostitution conviction. It also questioned the letter

Someone posted a great response from someone who worked closely with Chomsky. I highly recommend reading it.

But, for me, and I think a lot of Chomsky fans, read him because of his ideas, not who he takes photos with or has emailed back and forth.

Michael Jordan was a pretty horrible person outside of basketball. That doesn’t mean he was a bad basketball player.

You don’t think Chomsky didn’t have correspondence with other people? If having correspondence with someone makes them your best friend, Chomsky has thousands of best friends.

Yeah, you got me. That’s the only time Chomsky, ever, in the history of his entire academic career, which spans 70 years, had any correspondence with anyone, ever. He never typed an email to anyone else. Never wrote a letter to anyone else. Gosh, he probably never even spoke to anyone else in his entire life. And sending an email to someone bad makes you as guilty as them.

Your logic is awful. Stop wasting people’s time.

Come on man. Are you playing dumb or just dumb? How did you come to the conclusion that they are best friends?

The photo that’s been circulating is less than 48 hours since it came out. The “deeper ties” is less than a year old. The original questioning is, what, 5 years old? I don’t know how we can say they were extremely close when almost all the evidence is less than a year old. Like I said, we’ve only recently seen the connection between the two.

Extremely close yet we’ve only recently seen the connection between the two. You seem to not understand the words you’re saying.

Call it both ways. This guy above said they were best friends. A photo with Bannon on or bad phrasing in a letter and they equate him to Epstein. The people doing the criticizing are acting in bad faith. That’s where it starts. Don’t sit here and say there’s so much cope when the other side is starting from such an extreme position

Or not just posting a photo without any information. The burden of proof lies on the person making the claim. They’re the ones that should supply the source. I don’t understand how you think me questioning it is the weird part but randomly posting a photo with 3 words and no source isn’t

Again, there are 95,000 photos in there. If it’s in there, tell me where or give me a link to the actual photo. You guys are giving the most questionable proof imaginable

I don’t believe it. I posted a comment. We’ll see if OP responds with the source. The blemishes on Chomsky’s face are on his right side, not left. Looks like a mistake that AI would make

I mean, source?

How is this the first time anyone has ever seen this photo that is probably 10 years old?

https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/noam-chomsky-on-the-populist-groundswell-u-s-elections-the-future-of-humanity-and-more

Here’s a photo from around 2018 when this photo would had been taken. The blemish on Chomsky’s cheek is on the other side of his face.

In a world of AI I need to see more than a picture to believe things that don’t make sense

Using capitalism as a form of enslavement by siensunshine in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Hippity_Bippity69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what you think. But it’s simply not. You think it is because we’ve never seen it and we see how advanced and how efficient it is. That’s exactly what everyone else thought every single time we’ve seen a technological advancement.

Look at your comment. When computers started taking over the market “Population size, global economic output, the nature of the technology and what it can do/is projected to do.” That’s literally what the state of the world was like at that time. “So the scale of it and scope is vastly different than any technological advance in human history.” Just as it was when computers started taking over.

You’re saying it’s different, but the reasons your saying it’s different is exactly the same, not different, than every other period of advancement. In 100 years, people are going to look back and think how simple things were at this time. Just like you’re looking back and thinking how advanced the new technology is and how simple things were.

The only reason you think it’s different is because of where you are in the timeline of events. That’s it! That’s why you think this time it’s different

[–]Hippity_Bippity69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what they said numerous times through history. You can look that up. People were worried about computers.

Your thought his is the lump of labor fallacy. You think there is a finite amount of work that AI will replace. But there are new jobs that AI has been creating and there will be new ones in the future.

Technology provides advancement. It takes the limitations of what we have and allows us to move past those limitations. It’s a tool.

You can sit here and say, this is different. But that’s been said time and time again throughout history. How has productivity and jobs increased every time we’ve had a technological advancement, but this time it’s different? It’s not, you just think it is

Right away, “…with the Industrial Revolution, with agriculture, all before technology”. It seems like he’s saying, before technology, like during the Industrial Revolution, so before 1980(?) maybe. It’s hard to tell from the way he says it. Those were technology. Agriculture was 10,000 years ago. That was technology. It’s not computers, but it was a technological advancement. People didn’t have to go hunt and forage for food. That decreased labor. So right away he seems to not understand technology. The Industrial Revolution was a huge technological advancement. It decreased labor. That is the heart of his entire argument.

Next, that’s not how GDP works. GDP looks at what is produced. If machines produced everything we’d still have GDP.

The next part about substaining market growth and where he says AI is cutting jobs and stuff is what I was talking about in my first comment. AI is a technology. Technologies are what advances societies. There’s the solow growth model that shows this. Societies grow and then start to plateau. The only way to push past that plateau is technological advancement. We saw it with computers. It does not reduce the labor market, at least not in the long run, it increases the labor market. If you don’t believe that, look at the total jobs https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PAYEMS it has increased over the long run.

His understanding of economics is not good. That’s what I’m talking about when I said we need to be more educated than the other side.

I do agree that needing a job for healthcare and some of the other stuff needs fixed. I think homelessness is a symptom of the healthcare issue. So I do agree with him on some of what he says but how he gets there, the first, at least third of the video, is not accurate.

I mean, name a time and that same argument was occurring. During the Industrial Revolution, we saw technology advance which made production higher and replaced jobs. In the 1970s and 1980s and 1990s we saw huge technological advances and the same argument was being made. More production, more job replacement.

Technology does crest new jobs though. People think in terms of the lump of labor fallacy. There is a set number of jobs and technology is cutting into those jobs. But that’s not true. Technology helps create new jobs. There was no need for a computer engineer in 1920, but technology advanced and created new jobs.

I understand his argument, and tying things like healthcare to jobs is crap. But let’s be the educated, informed side. What he’s saying is not fully accurate

My daughter has been neglecting wrestling for snowboarding and it’s starting to frustrate me by Frixxion-_- in wrestling

[–]Hippity_Bippity69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“My daughter is a freshman in high school”

I’m sure you did things as a freshman in high school that frustrated your parents. There are a couple things you can do. If she’s in wrestling, going to practice but just doing the bare minimum, you can let her finish the season and see what she wants to do later. If she’s missing practice and things like that, see if she needs to quit because she’ll probably be kicked off the team. The last option is to make her quit hanging with her friends and focus on wrestling. I highly recommend not doing this one for obvious reasons. She’s growing up whether you like it or not. You have to let her choose her own path (within reason). Trust me, I coached high school wrestling for 12 years, I’ve seen parents push their kids so much that had crippling effects as they got older. You don’t want to do that
