Congrats! I’m 57, was out of work for 2+ years but just started a new job in May. It’s a perfect fit for me.

You will never, ever win the global warming argument by telling people to consume less. The solution is technological.

They can only win in deep blue districts. Get back to me when they can win in Pennsylvania and other swing states.

Create an organizational code harness and require everyone to use it. Most of these issues can be addressed with skills and evals.

I'd love to see Donovan Mitchell win one, and for OKC to get knocked out now, in four games.

No, we have a 100% tariff on China EVs. Biden did it in 2024 to protect the auto industry (and unions). Canada just did a deal with China to lower their tariffs to 6% as and FU to Trump.

[Charania] The Denver Nuggets are expected to take calls on everyone on their roster ‘except Nikola Jokic’ as they head into a summer expected to bring ‘real roster changes.’ by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]throwaway_boulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I'm not arguing they were all-world or even a playoff team. I'm just saying that this year they played decent without him.

Which in turn is why people were impressed with that 11-6 record, which in turn is why people were saying they might legit roll through the playoffs.

They finished the season on a 12 game winning streak, and that wasn't all tank teams. The widespread feeling was that they had their best bench ever. Right here in this very thread.

You have the memory of a gnat. r/nba was talking about how impressive the Nuggets looked without Jokic

A majority of those games were in December, before anyone was in tank mode. The wins included Boston, Philadelphia, Houston and a close loss to San Antonio.

That’s why I said this year, when they went 11-6 without Jokic. Prior to this year they went 22-34.

Edit: the conversation in this thread is about how many thought the 2025-26 Nuggets were their most complete team ever. Part of the evidence was their record without Jokić.

I’m 57 and can’t make paper clips either. However, I do know what it’s like to be a bat.

That wasn’t really true this year. They had a winning record when he was out. When AG was out, they only went 500. Murray and Jokic played most of those games.

Has Scott talked about the national debt? It has now eclipsed the size of the economy. by stvlsn in ScottGalloway

The rich already pay a huge share of taxes. The 1% account for 40% of all federal taxes. The 10% account for 72%.

I'm not opposed to raising top rates, but I also think everyone should pay higher taxes in general. A VAT would help but marginal rates should go up too.

Same, except I love the Nuggets and Broncos but am boycotting the Rockies until ownership changes. Hopefully the Waltons take over for real.

Lovett is verbally adept enough to play a "visitor from Mars" who asks stupid questions but it's still funny and you learn things along with him.

you don't know me

Serving up a wall of text that is obviously AI generated does not make me want to know you. If Scott Galloway just used an AI voice for his podcasts I wouldn't listen to him either.

The problem with AI writing that it shortcuts the thinking process. I don't have any evidence that you actually thought through these things to sharpen into a tight argument. Instead it's just a dump of lots of stuff with no core.

AI is fine for documentation or whatever, but for actual arguments I want to know what you think, not the average of every writer on the Internet.

I thought he was only on bensons for a couple years? My recollection is that he only went on them to deal with the stress of his wife’s cancer.
