Dude's 17 which means he was born/name selected in 2008 when Carmelo Anthony was more exciting up-and-comer than his full legacy playing out.

Polymarket you can get some decent liquidity going, but it depends on exactly what you're talking about.
Domestic stuff, particularly previous generation, is a mess of taxes and tiny maxbets yeah.

Don't think that's necessarily Google trying to turn the agenda. Carmelo pronounced with a Hard C been notable for decades at this point and K probably fairly common misspelling.

Sideline but the amount of 'Rittenhouse was found to be acting in self defense therefore Murder by anybody left/POC-aligned that I find morally justified is apparently not a crime' thinking from the Left side of the aisle you see lately is insane. I've seen legitimate direct comparisons of Karmelo Anthony shivving somebody to Rosa Parks on the timeline in recent weeks.

My CHA is not high enough to charm randos at events into doing things for me
I don't think this is necessarily the best way to perceive it. For me it's more like 'pick up enough random weak links into people doing stuff broadly related to your personal industry and in future you'll be able to refer 'oh I randomly ran into a guy who needs Niche A subniche C services and I remember running into another guy who provides those a few months ago I can interlink them' and have people do the same for you. Moreso than assuming direct control of random passerbys to directly build your career.

Submit to Musk's impregnation ultimatum or he'll financially pummel you?
I feel like it's a little bit different when he's essentially been the one to give Fong a platform to make money through his attention and whatever jury-rigging they did to the X algorithim to pay her 5-figures a week. It's not like she had an independent business that he's arbitrarily crushing.

Yes but the notional balances of retirees accounts has gone down which is a great evil, whilst all these other evils were good for the amount of 0's on the spreadsheet and could be justified by magical thinking in other spreadsheets about fungibility of human labor.

Additionally hilarious when the majority of people making these arguments, if confronted with a similar 'transness is valid since super rare hormonal dysfunction that impacts 1-in-2-million people' would instantly side on the yes but side whilst since it's about their own bodyweights are suddenly reality relatavists.
I'm reminded of a twitter thread from Big Yud ages ago on similar lines about why he was unable to lose weight. Can't find it on a quick search but it was a similar matter of 'rationalist attempts to rebut CICO when it's fairly obvious he just likes eating and doesn't like exercising'. A post meming on him from back then https://x.com/MorlockP/status/1657098074139811876
I've personally struggled with my weight depending on a bunch of factors, swinging 20-30kgs either direction depending on circumstances but ultimately CICO's the only way I've ever been able to lose weight and generally I gain when I'm distracted by other things to the point of letting go of either moderation or exercise.

As we are mere mortals, generally we can estimate a CO number that's within 5-10% of the appropriate one (regardless of hormonal and compositional differences) and then ensure a CI number that's a decent margin less than that. This whole thing seems to be trying to invoke the Zenos paradox of weight loss in which 'I cannot lose weight since I cannot know my exact expenditure and the only thing stopping me from adjusting my consumption is not knowing to 8 decimal places how many twinkies I can consume to achieve an exact 200 calorie deficit'.
Honestly the Karmelo Anthony is insanely blackpilling to me. The whole thing should be so abundantly open-shut and it's being presented as an issue due to a combination of race issues and a childlike understanding of what happened with Rittenhouse.
Spontaneously stabbing somebody to death since they told you to move from a seat in an area that you obviously didn't belong in is something that prettymuch any society in human history would condemn you to immediate death for. Yet Karmelo's being compared to Rosa Parks of all people? Genuinely insane.
