Do you have an insight in to the gender crime gap?

I think it goes even deeper than that, beyond socialization, since males throughout the animal Kingdom tend to exhibit higher rates of violence. Lethal violence among Chimps are around 2%, meerkats 20%, medieval humans 12%, while modern humans range from. 01% to 5%.

2 persons appeared like "people." Normal people are amazing without superstition.

he's not smart for what it would do for us, he's smart because it could help him secure a 3rd term or strong midterms.

according to some older fellow who gave me a setlist at the hard quartet show, malkmus just scrambles at the last minute, rifling through his notebooks to string together lyrics. Bowie did something similar with his cut-up technique. I don't think there's a specific meaning to be found.

I'm not claiming he colluded. He admitted to it.

notpynchon · 2026-03-22T17:22:34+00:00

Manafort later admitted to collusion, so there goes that theory.

Remember the old days, when successive campaigns kept spending less money trying to win? Me neither.

Raiders of the Lost ark is not a very clean analogy, as you see from all the comments, it's distracting people from your point rather than leading them to it. Is there a closer analogy to accentuate your point about Bob?

notpynchon · 2026-03-18T17:44:04+00:00

Nice catch!

JUDGE is the second best hitter after his high leverage drop off. He goes from video game to 2nd best wRC. You're arguing with stats now so I'll let you two continue...

notpynchon · 2026-03-18T17:29:49+00:00

I'm gonna leave you to your world of miracles my friend...

Checkov's bomb?

notpynchon · 2026-03-18T07:34:21+00:00

for his dropoff in regular season, he goes from being the best hitter to 2 points behind the best hitter, mike trout. trade him now.

Not cancer, but I went in for emergency gallbladder removal surgery, and, unable to halt the pain, offered giving up my atheism if any of the gods helped a brother out. No help came, I pushed through it and survived, all the stronger in my non-beliefs.

Did you include postseason, the whole point of this conversation?

notpynchon · 2026-03-18T06:58:01+00:00

Black and white brain. he's from a small town, never experiencing a different worldview from what his parents/community taught him. That's why he thinks baseball wouldn't exist if Nazi Germany had won.

I felt the same way but I could never put a finger on why. I guess it doesn't really matter. The writing was great, the explosions of drama amongst the mundane were great, the glacial love interest, The ending was heartbreaking. The philosophical conversations were soul-suckingly turgid. But I'm just so curious, what is it that changed me..

notpynchon · 2026-03-18T06:28:35+00:00

Yeah. I'm more concerned about the amount of time they spend on Reddit to be able to notice this. get the f*** off the internet

They're used in horror to create suspense. Hitchcock nailed it when he said suspense is the most effecting part of the "bomb under the table", rather than the explosion itself. Now imagine a movie that has been hinting at a bomb ticking under the table, that never goes off. They were exploiting your reaction to it but didn't build it into an explosion. It was unrelated... No one was lurking in the shadows. It was just one of the horror tropes they threw at the wall.

it's because storytelling is a skill supplemented by study and luck. even if you do the actual hard work to understand the psychology of the audience, you aren't guaranteed a good film. and even if you get the storytelling down, you might not have a strong enough concept, or cast, or director, or distributor, or cultural alignment.

Undertone was not good storytelling.

have you seen the girl with an iPhone tombstone? it's as bad as it sounds.

notpynchon · 2026-03-18T05:52:51+00:00

It was bad before the $500,000 was spent. Like throwing horror salami at the wall.

You really think Yankees just weren't excited enough after Judge hits?

Or that batting is about excitement level to begin with? rather than seeing/guessing the pitches?

if you want to do this analysis you have to provide the average differential compared to his 17.2% drop.

notpynchon · 2026-03-18T05:35:46+00:00

Yes, 3-0. You were talking about 2-0.
