14 years ago I wanted to work with Blizzard so badly, I got myself hired as a figure model for the drawing classes and drove 3 hours+ to/from Irvine every week. Now after hosting at Blizzcon, voicing characters, and making lifelong friends on the teams, I support making Blizz BETTER for them. 💜

this stuff is real and tangible in material ways we don’t have the expanded child tax credit today because joe manchin was personally opposed to it and couldn’t be talked out of his opposition he was also vote 50 of 50, if susan collins had lost in 2020 he’d have been vote 51 and we’d have it

some specific democrats suck and they suck in ways that are detrimental to issues that you personally care about you know how you solve that once we are past the primaries? you elect even more democrats so that their votes are less important joe manchin couldn’t have done as much damage as vote 52

I know the take that's gonna do numbers is "the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness" but no, economics are fair, people are terrible at boots, this isn't really rational, and I'm gonna engagement farm all day until I do numbers with my alleged won't-do-numbers take.

A YouGov poll demonstrating that people who can't afford a more optimal choice don't make that more optimal choice. The image is a parody of a poll asking participants to choose between 50,000 guaranteed or a 50/50 chance at one million. In this version, the question has been replaced to reflect the choice between cheap and expensive boots from Boots Theory.

This particular bit of sneering has got to just be kayfabe at this point. We've gone from "People think the economy is worse than it is" to "The Idiot Masses don't know how bit a million is" the way Triple H went from a bit of a dick to kidnapping Stephanie McMahon to marry her against her will.

I know the take that’s gonna do numbers is “this is rational” but no, people aren’t rational, people are terrible at numbers, this isn’t really rational, people just can’t do math. It’s actually well-known that people are irrational, don’t debase yourself pretending this is smart
