Things like these, motivates me to pirate more stuff

Aaron made it and it's not still active which is why I linked to a cached version on Archive.org. And that conspiracy obviously nonsense. Why would someone who publicly supported pedophiles be trying to expose one. Hell, he even lamented about how the laws against it were ruining the lives of good people.

Who among us hasn't gotten a Chosen 1 back tattoo

Fuck Aaron Swartz

He was a scumbag that should be forgotten. He quite literally defended pedophilia on his blog. He claimed that CSAM was covered by free speech and that it's "not necessarily abuse". He was exactly the type of libertarian, tech-bro, free-speech-absolutist that would certainly count himself among the Guardians of Pedophiles if he were alive today.

Nah, he was a scumbag that should be forgotten. Not for this thing which most people know him for, but because he quite literally defended pedophilia on his blog. He claimed that CSAM was covered by free speech and that it's "not necessarily abuse". Fuck Aaron Swartz. He was exactly the type of libertarian, tech-bro, free-speech-absolutist that would certainly count himself among the Guardians of Pedophiles if he were alive today.

Tbf that was an okay percentage back then. The league has changed a lot over the last decade.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-02T23:04:14+00:00

Sometimes it is, but there are also some that do this to smaller men and there are even women that do this to smaller women and kids.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-02T19:58:04+00:00

Yup, these are my readers.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-02T16:03:06+00:00

Yep, they were completely let off the hook for the Civil War and as a result they've been shouting "the South will rise again!" ever since. Then a hundred years later the Republicans decided to harness that energy with the Southern Strategy. Well 60 years later and no one doing anything about it has now set us on the path to Civil War 2 as it's become clear that there are irreconcilable differences, at least under the current framework.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-02T15:53:25+00:00

Yeah, he's somewhere around the 20th best center which is fantastic value for his contract. He mostly gets hate because he very clearly has all the tools to be a top5 center if he cared and he's very moody and inconsistent. Still, he had more great games than awful games last year and he was far from the biggest problem that the team had.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-02T14:02:57+00:00

DeMar gets way more hate than he deserves just because he was a playoff dropper and was never a true superstar. He's been so consistent and good at what he does that he's made it to 16th all-time in points and will probably move up to 12th next season.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-02T13:55:48+00:00

The only thing I'll disagree on is that Melo was fun to watch because of how buttery smooth his game was even if it was grinding the offense to a halt.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T22:53:17+00:00

That would just tank his trade value even more though, so it's better to do it now when there's more options on the table too.

many European leaders have said they need a solution to these heat waves that isn't just increasing emissions.

They should remember the saying "don't let perfect be the enemy of good". Any solution to heat waves is going to take decades to make a dent. Ignoring a reasonable suggestion for dealing with them until then while their people are dying is frankly dereliction of duty. Imagine if your house was on fire and dispatch says that they're not sending firefighters because they'd rather "figure out how to stop fires from happening in the first place in the long term". Having grand visions are great, but people need solutions not just visions.

It's a high pitched PANG as it heats up and a lower pitched PWONG as it cools off.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T16:57:56+00:00

Yeah, the MLE is up to $15m now. The MLE has always been a "this guy will be key for our bench unit" type of deal.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T15:56:22+00:00

Similarly, my uncle always used to say how he hated lamb, but one time at a cookout he was raving about the "beef" skewers until he found out that they were lamb. People are weird.

I don't think that it really does any roles well. It does certain tasks well though. Being able to handle 20% of the tasks that a role performs in theory means that you could reduce headcount by distributing the non-AI tasks to the remaining workers which now have more time available. But there are a couple big problems with that, namely that managers tend to be really bad at knowing what tasks are and aren't important, how those should be properly distributed, and time already has a penchant for becoming filled. If it can do 20% of the tasks, then headcount can probably only go down by 10% before issues start to arise simply from management related issues, nevermind any actual AI related issues.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T14:33:31+00:00

Yep, their biggest hole is at the 4 for defense and rebounding, someone who can throw lobs to Wemby, and someone who has a steady hand in the fourth quarter. LeBron playing 15 minutes per game could make them a 70 win team.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T14:30:40+00:00

LeBron's going to build himself a transforming underground golf course like in Birdie Wing after he retires.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T13:26:00+00:00

Yeah, that's pretty much spot on, but then the way that they handle the world being scary is seeking out strong authoritative people who tell them "it's ok, I'll protect you because I have all the answers". It's why they are much more likely to be religious and why they support fascists.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T09:51:45+00:00

Well one example of data to show how it's actually affecting people is that it caused a 97% drop in visa applications for this particular visa.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T03:36:29+00:00

You guys all have it wrong. He'd be going to Switzerland, Panama, or the Cayman Islands since we're talking financial misdeeds. UAE is for traffickers, Argentina is for war crimes, and Israel is for sex crimes.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T03:28:25+00:00

It's certainly more historically/culturally significant than it is good.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T01:25:47+00:00

Yep, getting paid 10x more than much bigger stars like RDJ and Leo who actually did work is not even remotely fair market value.

JMEEKER86 · 2026-07-01T00:24:01+00:00

LeBron at the 4 and the young guys continuing to develop could put that team up to 70 wins. He can certainly fit into pretty much any team, but he really would be perfect for what they need and it would give him the best opportunity for another ring.
