Just how has Donald Trump shown in any quantifiable measure that he has anything but disdain for our Military?

Where is there any substantive evidence of true reverence, of authentic respect, of real gratitude?

But "everyone who isn't me eats real, quantifiable, actual financial shit, and I keep poasting as a Hero Of The Resistance (while getting my paycheck)" ain't it

lrp is always why I’m saying that while I call myself a nonbinary femme or nonbinary woman (depending on the day) the reality is my gender “stuff” is not rly quantifiable in a racist society where womanhood is defined in vicious opposition to Blackness

at the end of the day Femme is my gender

Because its a readily quantifiable measure with real time feedback that allows both lazy superficial reporting and worship of wealth?

It attempts to impose an order to reality that is described by its ideology, regardless of quantifiable or demonstrable falsehoods contained within said reality. Adherents claim that anyone who objects to said ideology are doing so in bad faith and secretly agree reality is as the ideology states.

Show me the quantifiable leverage last Tuesday created in the Senate?

By the way, all you fickle fans who are ready to dump Dems are doing the real damage. You haven't the stuff to win election after election. You think won and done. It's weak.
even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

i think they faced an immediate and direct 'each day the shutdown goes on...' cost. That doesn't make them special, but it does make their suffering immediate and quantifiable

And yes it's very quantifiable

Curious if “4 Year Terms Australia” presents any quantifiable measures that 4yr terms lead to better governance than 3yr or if it’s more of the usual vibes-based analysis

NSW, SA, VIC, WA adopted 4yr terms in the 80s after decades of 3yr; if it leads to better governance it should be easy to prove
I'm appearing (remotely) at JSCEM this morning, here's the batting order.

Like truly this is quantifiable benefit! For bike valet - in property not stolen, police hours not used, business revenue due to increased foot traffic. Same for youth bus passes. Really frustrating to see these issues persist in a 'progressive' city. Paying $$$$ for policing is a tax on our future.

So you're kind of missing the dispute here, which is not about Media vs. Economics or Monocausal vs. Multicausal.

It's "Voters are independently responding to quantifiable real-world conditions" vs. "Voters are making decisions through interdependent interactions in the form of narrative"

"What we call 'scientific racism' could be called 'fantasy racism' instead," @AdamSerwer writes; "a belief that people can be reduced to quantifiable numbers, like so many digits on a character sheet:"

ive lost 15lbs in 2mo with just doing a food diary. it's a small start and i don't really feel or see any difference but it's nice to have a quantifiable change!

Yeah, wha does “small government” even mean?
How is it quantifiable?
It inevitably seems to mean “only the functions/parts of government that I don’t like“

"Real Magic" by Dean Radin PhD
Parapsychologist and chief scientist at IONS, Dr. Radin blends quantum physics, mysticism, and data to argue that magick or "Psy" is quantifiable. If you’ve felt that magick is more than wishful thinking or that consciousness shapes reality, it's an inspiring read.

The more I see consciousness discourse in AI, the more convinced I am that nobody (including myself) can make any claim about it without immediately raising more intractable problems.

Is consciousness a "thing" that can be "merged"? What does that mean? Is it quantifiable? How could it be?

You would think that with these companies raking in billions that paying for just one more person to refine their material and make their product more trustworthy would be worth it for the reputation boost long term in a way that's genuinely quantifiable, yet here we are. The mind boggles. 😵‍💫

And what the numbers may not tell ya is how many Republicans/R-leaners for Cuomo were following Trump's lead vs how many are Sick of This Shit and begrudgingly voted for a familiar Democrat. Given trends everywhere else I'd say the latter was probably quantifiable.

Yall can I get some weird like? Not advice but sort of, sourcing real people's opinions not performative influencers

How many pairs of pants should you own.

And, do Skirts/Jeans/Shorts/Pants, exist in the same category (goes on ass) or are they separate quantifiable categories?

BEHOLD The cum jar of quantifiable cum! It has measuring lines :3

This move to supplant strategy-driven security cooperation entirely with Foreign Military Sales and demand that our allies and partners "make a definable, quantifiable contribution to security" (grease def contractors palms) if they want to work with us has been quietly progressing for months now /
Why! Why is it a big change! Why should we care! What does it matter! Why include it if you're just gonna pretend that peasants can't understand it but its impressive to you!
