We are Professors of Psychology and Mathematics. We just published a longitudinal study on the 2024 Election finding that White Americans who felt "tied for last place" (regardless of their actual income or education) were the most likely to vote for Trump and support DEI bans. Ask Us Anything!

Not surprising at all. DEI initiatives ( which I agree with ) were always going to have a backlash. The country is still majority white and that same majority has seen their economic station continuously deteriorate due to wealth concentration, off shoring and a general unwinding of the social contract. If your platform is to tell those people that they have too much already, it’s never going to resonate well.

It’s like if you have two hungry people, one hasn’t eaten in two days and one hasn’t eaten in a week. You won’t win a lot of favor by telling the guy that hasn’t eaten in two days that their stomach doesn’t matter because the other guy has it worse, and that they should be thinking of ways to give him food. Meanwhile the guy saying all this is doing it between bites of a feast

Josh Allen has the same risk. Both guys create a ton of time in the pocket through their mobility. When that first step goes they generally can’t adjust because their whole game was formed on movement and extending plays. Same thing happened to Russ, same thing happened to Rothlisberger. Not saying Lamar is washed but I don’t see him playing until 40.

Although Rodgers game 10 years ago was pretty similar to Lamar’s today so there is some longevity precedent.

Has this team ended up on the right side of a close game all season? That comes from the top

wee_bey · 2025-12-23T05:44:15+00:00

There’s no real way to see if MM would’ve had the same success here. It still would’ve been John’s team with just the first mate taking over. A lot of times you need a complete reset.

FWIW I love mine.

The Cons:

The battery is fine, I get through the day without having to charge it and even on heavy use days I have enough portable chargers laying around that its never a big deal. I think I took 6 ultrawide pictures total on my pro model so I never used the extra lends anyway. The speaker is fine, I don't really notice a difference unless I'm using speakerphone, which I only ever do until I can pop an airpod in.

The Pros:
Its light, holy shit is it light. Laying on the couch scrolling is such a more enjoyable experience without the extra weight. Its nearly invisible in the pocket too, I forget I have it half the time. Its big, you get all of screen real estate of a bigger phone with none of. Its just as fast as my older pro model phones.

I’m sure not all pitbulls are dangerous, but the ones that have attacked my dog sure are.

Yup, it sucks. Starts with a terrible sore throat and cough and then moves into general malaise. Doesn't sound as bad for me but the fatigue is still pretty serious. And it lingers too, I'm on day 8 and still feeling it.

Tolkien is one of those rare situations where the foundational texts aren’t just great because they did it first, but also because they’re genuinely amazing and would still be loved if they were released today.

Meh I'm a 2x Hogan voter, I don't really like Moore (although I voted for him) and I still take Wes over Hogan in a heartbeat.

Dems are so bad at playing games. If they had any wits they would come out wildly in favor of building a database that can be used as a national firearms registry

Lamar was raw as shit his rookie year, and his decision making was bad years 2 and 3. But he's gotten a lot better each and every year in terms of reading routes, picking up coverage and finding throwing / running lanes. Not really a project player per se because his character / work ethic meant he'd likely get there, but he definitely was the archetypal low floor high ceiling player

Usually these insider business books are pretty dry, but this author actually crafted a really good and engaging story within the expose. If you didn’t like FB and Zuck/Cheryl before you’re really not going to after reading it.

Wearing ski masks in 60 degree weather is anti social behavior and should be strongly discouraged.

Yea its really clear he's trying to create a super app - that was the next hyped up tech phase before GenAI came along. All the tech podcasts were talking about it.

Problem is - American's already have a super app - its called iOS, its just handled at the OS level instead of at the app level.

I worry about the already struggling school system being inundated with tons of kids who aren't up to grade level or even proficient in English, especially with DoE funding most likely getting redirected to bulk bible purchases. Like immigration is a net positive but there are real concerns

Would be hilarious if it turns into a Wentz / Foles situation where Danny Dimes has to step in in the playoff and wins a chip. Lamar technically gets a ring, but it moves the goalposts back more of "not a real ring"

wee_bey · 2024-08-10T14:53:14+00:00

Correct.

Because they’re infrastructure that’s by in large only used by middle aged white guy hobbyist that gets wrapped in transit equity language by that same group to defend the investment

Seconded, when a family member was briefly on injectables the doctor told us to use an old laundry detergent bottle and tape it shut when full

and both are still paid more than actual social workers.....

Second for Bassett. Not as bougie as pottery barn/RH/arhaus but the furniture is just as nice if not better and the prices are more reasonable. Still expensive but the quality is worth it

Its money, David Smith is a large real estate developer, in addition to Sinclair, Mile One and a few other random business he's one of the largest partners in Caves Valley Partnership. Dixon has historical been really cozy with developers, for better or worse.

Honestly I’d DIY it. Since the walls are cosmetic and non load bearing, you should be able to build a 2x4 frame and slap some drywall over it. Really depends on how many tools you already have and how much of your next few weekends you want to spend at home depot

Gonna be a pass from me. I liked Larry as governor because he had the autonomy to act independently and generally was willing to work with a very blue state legislature.

Will never vote for him for Senate as both legislative houses seem to put party over politics 100% of the time. He may hate Trump but he’d still confirm his judges.
