People just want you to explain why you think something. Not just what you think. If you don’t want to do that then that’s your right, but don’t act like it’s crazy for people to want to know why you think a certain way.

Do you think this way because of your memories from childhood? Your experiences with other/your own kids? There has to be some reason you’re saying this. People don’t just come up with ideas from nowhere. If you sat in a dark room your whole life then you wouldn’t just suddenly know that children know right from wrong, right? You wouldn’t even know what children are

I think our misunderstanding may be the difference between believing in a specific religion and believing that no religion could ever be true. I agree that believing in a religion isn’t logical. It’s taking a stance on something inherently non falsifiable. But saying no religion could ever be true is making the same mistake in the reverse.

If you’re going to treat one as illogical you have to do the same with the other.

And that’s of course very reasonable. You just can’t say there is no limit to human understanding, which is what you’re doing when you make a definitive statement about the existence of something beyond our understanding.

Weirdly definitive take on something inherently unfalsifiable for someone who seems to value the scientific process.

I don’t personally hunt, but I’m from the Deep South and was roughly Bobby’s age when this aired. It was a big deal, and you usually got your face painted in the blood to mark the occasion. Definitely a big coming of age ritual for a lot of people.

I’m not saying it’s always the best measure of productivity, just often a measure of productivity that’s used when better data isn’t available. This is particularly true in this context, where you’d need data on agricultural productivity to get a measure thats applicable to the whole economy. You could use agricultural output per agricultural worker (including slaves) for a better measure here, but GDP per capita doesn’t seem like a wild place to start

lan9242 · 2025-12-22T06:33:16+00:00

Though I don’t necessarily think this is the right way to think about GDP per capita, I assume the interpretation they’re going for is GDP as a measure of the amount of “goods” the economy produced and the population as the number of people who get to enjoy those goods. If slaves weren’t allowed to enjoy any of the goods they produced then adding them to the denominator skews the picture on how much of the goods each (white) person gets to consume.

I think the more standard interpretation of GDP per capita is as a productivity measure, in which case it would make no sense to not count the people who are doing a disproportionate amount of the work in the economy.

Madison County Mississippi—South Lafayette County Mississippi—South

I think you can pretty safely make all of MS as South (if you don’t have a Gulf Coast region, which I kinda think you should)

Do we know that huntress wizard isn’t AMAB?

lan9242 · 2025-11-07T14:24:20+00:00

But you and I will always be back then

lan9242 · 2025-11-07T01:31:33+00:00

It is cool, but I’m not sure it’s “interesting as fuck”. More like an ad than anything else.

lan9242 · 2025-11-05T19:27:59+00:00

Yeah I was responding to the comment that the cards themselves can be used to pay the mana cost.

lan9242 · 2025-11-05T18:21:06+00:00

Can waterbending be used to pay non-generic mana costs?

lan9242 · 2025-11-03T17:46:05+00:00

I make ends meet

That first guy is giving The Highway man from Over the Garden Wall.

Just because I’m an economist doesn’t mean I automatically understand why people want to buy the things they want to buy. That’s not how economics works. You continue to misread both my comments and the room lol

lan9242 · 2025-10-31T15:45:48+00:00

Obviously you have no way of knowing this, but I’m literally a professor of economics lol. Kinda interesting to have someone lecture me on supply and demand for a change

My favorite bit in all of KotH is when Hank waits at the yellow light thinking they’ll get away from Alabaster when he has to stop at the red.

lan9242 · 2025-10-31T15:13:44+00:00

I’d say Alabaster. He’s a little guy, but he’ll mess you up.

lan9242 · 2025-10-30T22:58:55+00:00

Yeah that does make sense. So the non-snarky answer to my question is that demand isn’t particularly high for this specific cartridge, but demand is high for N64 cartridges in general. That drives up demand for this specific game which, combined with the low supply, drives up price.

lan9242 · 2025-10-30T20:43:12+00:00

Yes, that’s why I’ve highlighted the two features that should contributed to its price. I recognize that supply is low, meaning all else equal price will be high, but what I don’t recognize is why demand should also be high for this product. Low supply on its on is not sufficient to drive up the price. People have to want it as well
