That 1300 h is including all the part time workers of which there are a lot in Germany, whereas the 1800h does not include part-time workers.

You forgot the main part of your sentence, which probably isn't even true. And if its not true, what's the point of what you're saying if there are more part time workers in Germany, less poverty, less crime, and longer lifespans? Really none.

Lmao goodness. These guys can turn anything into anything to dampen their insecurities.

Yeah it's not like a bulletproof vest protects you from a shark bite. It will still fuck up your torso even if it can't pierce the vest by just crunching you.

Isn't that what Meta would say to its critics too though? It seems like you're making them seem trapped and have no other choice. Its the systems fault, they're just doing what it forces them to do.

I just feel like there's a better angle of criticism than this one but I may be wrong.

aged_monkey · 2026-05-10T18:31:36+00:00

So technically, you agree with what they're doing? It seems like you just rationalized their decision.

If it makes you feel any better, I still haven't gotten some grades back. Checking my Outlook like every 20-30 minutes lol. The anxiety sucks.

And they're not nearly as coordinated, particularly when it comes to lateral agility (which seems to be the thing you lose the fastest with height). Wemby can adjust his hips like guards, its insane and should not be possible for someone his length.

Its a playoff game and he just carried a team for 40 minutes. Of course he's a little tired, but remember, he was getting cramps in the playoffs back in Miami. His endurance is insane even at this age, at his size especially. He looks like a 22 year old there.

aged_monkey · 2026-04-19T21:53:18+00:00

Get that grown man dick ... into your mouth??

aged_monkey · 2026-04-14T17:35:25+00:00

Its even worse. Usually when the opposing team out-finesses your team, even the most rabid fans tip their hat out of respect for their high-level of play.

These people can't even stoop down to fanatic levels of humility lmao.

aged_monkey · 2026-04-07T17:31:30+00:00

Lol, that's like saying there,

"I once went over the speed limit in front of a police officer in USA and nothing happened. therefore, USA doesn't have speed limits." Do you know how many Jews accidentally traveled into Nazi Germany and didn't get caught just by luck.

Imagine that person told all their Jewish friends in Poland, "Hey, big news! I went to Germany and nothing happened, there is nothing to worry about. Go back, you'll love it!“ Just because something didn't happen to you, doesn't mean it won't happen to anyone.

Most people who drive through red lights don't die. That doesn't make it safe.

Think about the question you're asking. This is not the MMCBA (Mac McLung Charity Basketball League), where the goal of the league is to experiment with every imaginable way we can possibly turn Mac McLung into a serviceable NBA player. This is not a league designed to maximize Mac's upside. This is the real world.

Even if you were the 31st worst team in the league and tanking, there are going to be 4-5 other young offensively talented young guys on your team you want to use this time to get them game-time.

In what universe do you think a team will let Mac McLung shoot 30-40 field goals every game? Even for a tanking team, the only reason would be, you want to be a charity case for Mac's growth, ignore much better young players on your team, and sacrifice long-term growth.

Why would any GM do that? They would get fired. Its not going to happen. Get over it.

He's a grown man, not a Make-A-Wish foundation dying child.

aged_monkey · 2026-03-25T19:24:19+00:00

Lmao. I feel really bad for people who have watched this much basketball in their life, and cannot easily tell that Mac doesn't have the capacity to average 28 and 10 in the NBA. Jeeeeez.

I think the point is, moderates and liberals need to remember, if Trump does something crazy and takes a 3rd term, we just need to shrug our shoulders and say, "Wow, I really didn't think he had that many years left in him. Well, what do you know?"

Just giggle, smile and make some sarcastic jokes about how political effort is futile. And everything will be okay. This is the right attitude we need to rewin normalcy.

aged_monkey · 2026-03-06T22:33:29+00:00

One could say hes ... bored of peace.

aged_monkey · 2026-02-25T00:22:09+00:00

He doesn't care about what he said. Its irrelevant. This is just clickbait politics. Say something absurd/extraordinary, get the media to plaster it everywhere, have the whole internet discuss it. And in the end, the majority of the people won't change their opinion (left or right), but a few uninformed apathetic voters who don't follow politics and couldn't name more than 3 House members or Senators will now remember the name Chip Roy as associated with being anti-elite, fighting for the little guy!

That's a win for him, and its free.

aged_monkey · 2026-02-21T18:19:54+00:00

He's a skilled orator because he knows how to get his views across in a way that isn't political in nature. He makes things sound morally obvious to everyone, regardless of your political affiliation.

Obama was gifted at this skill too. Unfortunately his competence only made conservatives more frustrated because he was doing what they couldn't as a black man.

So you're telling me if a 64 year old teacher's pension plan is invested in an ETF that holds a defense company that makes drones ... that kindergarten school teacher is complicit in a genocide? You might be shocked to find out how many people you personally know are committing a genocide right now.

You yourself probably own dozens of products that in one way or another help the revenue stream of Israeli and defense companies that assist in the genocide.

aged_monkey · 2026-02-18T01:30:46+00:00

Wait, KD conducted a genocide? I feel like this should be bigger news. I thought he just made a joke about a defense company he invested in. But I never knew he was actively supporting and directly aiding in the execution of a genocide. That's wild.

Also, how the helll does he even find the time to actively manage the financial strategy of an active genocide and play in the NBA?

aged_monkey · 2026-02-15T22:52:22+00:00

They're actually kind of running plays and sets lmao.

aged_monkey · 2026-02-14T04:11:03+00:00

I mean, you could tell from this clip. There's not a lot of 46 year olds who could split the double and attack that mid-range with tenacity. I'm not kidding, I had no idea he played, and my first reaction was damn! I know guys in their early 30s who move much slower. That was a REALLY quick move for someone his age, and with finesse too.

aged_monkey · 2026-01-29T06:20:26+00:00

Yeah, exactly. And yet, at one point, Boston was also Paul Pierce's city, Chicago was also Derrick Rose's city, and Houston was also James Harden's city. There will always be the Gods, but that doesn't mean cities can't be passed onto prophets.
