I live in a large city and take public transport most days, and it is one that has its fair share of âmental healthâ problems on the streets. One thing that is striking is how rarely the people suffering from mental health issues choose to harass healthy adult men.

The guy had an extensive criminal background including mutilation of corpses. https://www.wxyz.com/news/local-news/investigations/traverse-city-stabbing-suspect-had-decades-long-mental-health-struggles-criminal-history Recidivism is one of those things that is absolutely radicalizing. A small amount of people account for an insane amount of overall crime. For example, in NYC just over 300 people accounted for 1/3 of shoplifting arrests (over 6000) in 2023. âThree strikes lawsâ have gotten a fairly bad rap but we could implement like an 8 strike law and achieve a similar effect of a drop in crime. I would absolutely vote for a ballot initiative to incarcerate each of those 300 people for life if I was a New Yorker. We should focus on rehab and release only for people with 1-2 offenses. Different prisons, different interventions, everything. Over five should mean youâre gone forever.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
956 Worldwide replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Randy Yin from China being excited over Cybertruck boxes and that actress hammers home my anecdotal observations on Tesla drivers: 1. Liberal leaning white people (embarrassed, older model, and often have a bumper sticker apologizing). 2. East Asian upper middle class (fewer and fewer of them, they realize itâs embarrassing). 3. Indians working in tech or finance or both or wishing they did. 4. White guy who films videos with sunglasses on (Cybertruck only). -
Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

An increase in the valuation of an asset doesnât mean you have funds to pay people. Example: I buy a painting from an unknown artist for 1,000 at an estate sale. I take the painting to an appraiser five years later and it turns out itâs an old masterâs long lost worth and values it at 3 million. I have a 3 million dollar asset but that in no way means I have cash on hand to live large unless I take it to auction or use it as collateral for a loan. I read that the owners of the Liberty basically bought it at a fire sale as a distressed asset. Itâs now a valuable asset but that doesnât mean itâs turning a profit that can actually be used. Expansion payments are not income to a franchise, they are intended to off-set a dilution in future revenue sharing.

Spill the Tea: Fiasco for âSafety in Datingâ App
956 Worldwide replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
The huge pitfall here is the requirement that the reporter be honest and unbiased while using the Internet. Should also point out that the user verification process of selfies and DL is nothing close to bulletproof. It almost certainly illegal under EU data protection and privacy laws (and isnt available there). -
Spill the Tea: Fiasco for âSafety in Datingâ App
956 Worldwide replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
South Korea has like a .72 total fertility rate and is basically in relationship free-fall. I think itâs the anonymous part and no way to respond that gets me. Some of the comments on the site is stuff like âhe took me on a cheap date, waste of timeâ or âpretended to be interested but didnât ask me out a second time.â That stuff is just dating pitfalls. You should have to put your name to stuff like that. I can see anonymous if itâs actually a safety thing. -
I just became aware of the app itself and now today Iâm seeing a catastrophic security breach. TLDR: There is a âwoman onlyâ app that allows women to upload photos of men, reverse image search and run background checks, and share any âred flagsâ or âgreen flagsâ anonymously. It suffered a security breach and now there are tons of user selfies and PII of the women on 4chan. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/tea-app-breach-exposes-72000-selfies-id-photos-and-other-user-images/ My thoughts here are pretty mixed. No one should have their data stolen and put on 4Chan. I see the app itself as incredibly morally questionable. It promises that men are not allowed on the site, cannot search for what is there about them, and allows users to anonymously share information about men they have dated. I have zero qualms about an easy way to search public databases and return law enforcement info, restraining orders, etc. Iâm a little less comfortable with allowing anonymous allegations of genuinely threatening behavior or dangerous behavior with no recordâ stalking, domestic violence, threats, etc. Or verified catfishes or scammers. I see it as a gross violation of basic privacy to allow people to anonymously share their gripes about a date or ex with no verification and no way for the individual to reclama or even know what is being said about them. And I think that the relationship between the sexes is cooked at this point. Basically open hostilities. We are going the way of South Korea.

Iâm uninterested in how women would compare to men. The same level of uninterested I am in Usyk vs Inoue in boxing; we divide athletes based on things like weight and body capabilities for a reason. The fact that Inoue gets mauled by Usyk in no way changes my respect and appreciation for what the smaller fighter can do. What CC has shown is not that WNBA players can play with men. Sheâs shown that the WNBA can offer a fast, attractive, coordinated and athletic style of play that is fun to watch and skillful. Swimming is not a sport where men and women are particularly close. The fastest man is over 2 seconds faster in the sprint 50 and that is an eternity. In the 800, the men are close to 40 seconds fasterâ the percentage gap has dropped but for perspective, the men are getting up and on the deck by the time the fastest woman has started the last length. In both swimming and running the women do overtake the men at ultra long distances that arenât part of the Olympics events.

These Jubilee 1 vs 20 social discussion videos
956 Worldwide replied to Derka's topic in Daily Texan
I gotta say here that agreeing to debate 20 MAGA types and then being surprised to find a Nazi among them might be the dumbest statement to come out of this. Especially if you ever watched any of these dogshit videos. -

Itâs injecting Nazi and fascist discourse into the popular consciousness as something to debate as opposed to something that isnât worth considering. It shouldnât be watched and people like Hasan shouldnât take part. -
Pork can get an abscess, rarely. That smell will not dissipate though. I donât remember sensing a strong smell from opening a package of fresh pork. Iâd proceed with caution.

For marketers or accountants or whatever, there isnât collective bargaining or payment based on revenue. Those are transportable marketable skills. Teams have a choiceâ hire an accountant within the local pay band, or donât. Thatâs why it doesnât make sense to compare the salaries of a WNBA player to WNBA admin employee. Those salaries are based on local labor conditions and basically are what they are. Clark and Wilson are not the examples here and a future CBA isnât about them. There are 170 (maybe?) WNBA players. If anyone between number 50-170 (I am being generous) tell a front office owner âI can make more as a teacher or accountant using my degreeâ the owner can absolutely give them a handshake and go grab someone from a developmental league or one of the undrafted players. 170 is a tiny pool and because of title IX we fortunately have plenty of D1 colleague athletes to vie for those spots. You are absolutely correct that the ladies have more bargaining power if the league makes money. Thatâs kind of at the heart of the whole system. None of this is unique to womenâs basketball. U.S. olympians in multiple sports are among the best in the world at their craft and the vast majority of them are faced with tough decisions about finances and when you go get a real world job. Michael Phelps or Katie Ledecky has Caitlin Clark-like leverage and bargaining. The fourth place finisher is likely more marketable outside the pool. For most of its existence the WNBA has been closer to âOlympic sportâ level interest than it has been to major professional level interest from the viewing public and the salaries have reflected that. Itâs in a weird growing era.

Hey maybe itâs just me but is anyone else sensing some inherent tension between âthe president can do anything he wants and no court can stop him or hold him accountableâ and âthe president gets to file 10 billion dollar lawsuits against people that make him angry?â

The expansion fees go to make up for the dilution that owners suffer when teams are added. The WNBA is 42 percent owned by the NBA, 42 percent owned by team owners, and 16 percent by an outside consortium of investors. Each individual team ownerâs stake in the league falls when a new team is added. One thing that is also missing in the revenue sharing discussion is the difference in roster size: 450 players vice 170 NBA vs. WNBA. Bumping up the revenue share to about 20 would mean that per player, the share is roughly equal to the men in the NBA. I think they get there with the 200 million deal. Fun fact: WNBA players already take home a much larger share of revenue per player than NFL players. 1600 players dividing up 50 percent vice 169 players dividing up 10 percent. I will never criticize labor for pushing for more but at the same time there has to be a realization than making the pie larger has to be the long-term goal.

I do hope the players get a better CBA and it is awesome that the league is growing and attracting more eyeballs. My point here is simply that the âsame percentage of revenue as the menâ sounds reasonable until you pause and realize that the expenses donât operate on that same sliding scale. Charter jets cost the same no matter who is on them and $25 million per year is 1/8th of the new annual TV payout for the WNBA. The NBAâs TV deal is 7 billion per year. I guarantee that the NBA aviation budget is not $875,000,000. I could bet itâs less than a quarter of that number. The other WNBA employees are needed and their costs donât dramatically change. And so much of the other demands are wrapped up in spending the money it takes to be a ârealâ pro league. The team doc, trainers, marketers, support staff can command close to the same amount no matter who they are working for. Venue fees and all that go into that donât slide on a scale either. They arenât as much as an NBA game, but youâre still paying to open the arena, run crowd control, etc. The delta between NBA and WNBA non-player and staff expenses per game isnât pro-rated in line with the revenue difference. They absolutely deserve a raise, Iâm just pointing out that pushing it even to something like 30 percent of revenue likely means total league collapse.
