    That isn’t how that works. Throwing a needle doesn’t yield infinite probabilities. Nor does any action. Statistics are always calculated within human, useful limits. It is never fully free of context.

    An unpredictable event like “where will this hurricane take my paper plane” may have a lot of potential outcomes, but “a lot” is way, way less than infinity. If you’re standing in China you’re not gonna throw a needle with your human arm and have it land in France.

    Nor are very very small numbers equivalent to 0. The needle will land at 1 position. That means there simply must have been at least a 0.0…1% chance for it to have landed there. Not having enough context to calculate exactly how many zeros would be “correct” is not the same thing as there being infinite possibilities









  • It is not a question of going after Trump’s cronies or Trump himself. Not only are they obviously complimentary goals, but there is no “wad” to blow. Political capital is not the type of game where you spend a set amount of points and once those are gone, you need to wait for your next turn. They have serious momentum now; they have constituents waiting with bated breath to see if anything actually comes of voting en masse, and they need to be impressed.

    Push harder for the release of the Epstein files. Push harder to immediately end hostilities with Iran. Prosecute Trump AND his allies, removing as many of them from office as possible. And still pass legislation that will tax the rich and help people make ends meet. These are all the things they got elected for, they can all be addressed simultaneously, and failure to do so will result in depressed turnout and bad outcomes in 2028.

    I’m not sure I would qualify what you’re talking about as “cucking” simply BECAUSE of the negative connotations that word has. I would think that terms like open relationship, or group sex, or swinging, are better descriptors for what you describe. But “cucking” has connotations of nonconsent, a party that MUST not participate, and of humiliation.
