You catch on too quickly.

You can no longer choose the shapes, AI hallucinates them for you. If they don’t fit your desired shape you can pay-per-side-polygon to have a fixed number of sided shape added. mS pAInt

Sounds like a money maker. Now just as AI to it and you’re set with your 2025 business model

Just wait until toilet paper real estate starts being used.

Late 19th century. There was some pushback, some anti-trust laws with teeth, and then decades of bloody union battles to secure rights workers and their elected officials have thrown away for 50 years.

The concentration of wealth and influence of 10-16 people trumps that of hundreds of millions and is as bad or worse than it was during the robber baron era.

Political representatives are bought and paid for which means the poor have no voice against the wealthy.

We have a justice system that is incapable of prosecuting the wealthy and powerful, when it isn’t being stocked by ideologues.

Meritocracy is dead; Birth has much greater correlation to wealth and power.

Media is fully captured by the wealthy; they own the vast majority of media consumed: TV, film, news, social junk.

Nice country you got here.

Careful outing yourself as a brown family, this apparently means you’re illegal and need to be turned into immigration authorities in coastal Oregon.

Other than obvious physical traits:

Power of observation. Accurately seeing the game(s) and your opponents lets you anticipate, which is basically partially seeing the future and it of course is incredibly powerful.

Analytical mind: observing is the first part, then analysis to understand how or why you can take different approaches to win, attack, defend, etc. is part two. There are almost always another level of analysis to be done.

Curiosity: most people plateau physically long before they’re mental capacity in a sport is exhausted, but even at the pro level you still see many athletes that once they’ve made their paycheck or won x, they coast or stop developing. True multi-sport athletes are curious and diversely talented and this drive to understand helps them not just be satisfied with a single focus or sport.

Learning how to say no, how to do it politely and how to do it firmly. I’m better at the latter but being able to do either is a goddamn superpower, it’s incredible how many Americans cannot regardless of their situation, title, age, wealth, etc.

Employee salaries in HR; they are both correctly paid(employer perspective often), underpaid (employee perspective often), and overpaid (company and co-worker perspective). Depending on how and how often you open the box, any of these views can be accurate.

Sample bias. Any advertising, campaigning, fawning and celebrating are the exceptions. You are exposed to the “success stories” exponentially more through media thanks to government and corporate forces despite the successes being exponentially rarer than the failures: suicides, mental health disorders, divorces, denied medical care by VA, insufficiency of college fund programs, underemployment, etc. The coverage Success Stories get as the 1% or whatever, dwarfs the failures which are the 99%. This reversed representation explains why they may be perceived as equally likely, which is confusing.

The answer is sample bias; deliberately misleading. After all, who is going to sign up if they could see reality represented? Most would just work fast food–same crappy outcomes, fewer bullets.

Completely walking away from sports you followed with passion your whole life because you just aren’t interested in learning the next crop of pros. Also, you know the way money and politics and other things force things in sport and it takes the fun out of it…same can be said for music.

Up voted for the dark humor but sincerely it’s Feudalism. A central state nor laws cannot be relied on for order nor process so those with the means purchase or are anointed with safety and power.

Corporate media will be ever more obsequious to get access. Military presence for “safety” in certain cities labeled “dangerous” which all happen to be progressive. Then the self-censorship starts. Then people stop being able speak freely, let alone thinking a rule of law exists. Then it’s “underground” to have an honest conversation about politics. We’ll be in Putin’s Russia level of legal system and political speech within a few years.

“Two small pair…8s and 8s” is still a staple at family card games.

Haven’t heard “gay” as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.

At this point it’s like the Onion article that they release after every school shooting about how nothing can be done to prevent it in the only country where it occurs regularly; the data raping and pillaging that goes on in the US despite other countries having passed basic common sense privacy and control laws…well too bad you can’t afford the lobbyists to pass it, Poor.

Tim walz–level confession

Seriously man, it’s a good price, and I have a plan setup with Affirm for payments, you can spread it out over at least a year.
