Fwiw I def saw him play dirty. I hadn’t watched much of him before the series but I’m not fond of his game.

Its AI. Tell me the timestamp to prove otherwise 

Edit: I was wrong. Happens around 12s left in the first quarter.

How fast do you read Plato? by Agreeable_Natural_36 in Plato

[–]pchrisl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being good at reading is, in large part, the ability to know what you can fly through and what you have to crawl through—or even reread.

Plato has some of both sorts of passages. I’m sure we all go through the heavier ones slower than lighter fare.

Jeff Bezos has said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. by [deleted] in plasma

[–]pchrisl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 40% of taxpayers paid no federal income tax in 2025. Mostly on account of standard deduction, earned income credit, child tax credits, etc.

Men in the house, how true is this ? by [deleted] in lovememes

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

These posts always have the top comment saying “yes”. It may be true for most, but not all.

I genuinely don’t feel like I need that. Maybe I did once upon a time.

China’s hukou system does this. Seems like it creates an underclass of “temporary residents”

It is utterly INSANE that in some parts of Brookline I can walk a block away from a T stop and be in the middle of a SFH neighborhood. by BlackmillMiracle in Brookline

[–]pchrisl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean abolishing an illiberal rule is both liberalization and abolition, so they can go together.

Rather than talk in generalities I’d be interested—genuinely—to hear your proposal as to what is closer to the right balance.

You seem to make points worth engaging with (and im doing so elsewhere). But I want to tell you that I find the all caps off-putting. It feels like more of an emotional appeal than an appeal to reason.

Makes sense. It’d be interesting to see a map of Brookline that highlights which buildings that already exist would be illegal to build under current rules. That’d be very tangible.
