    Sorry, but isn't that exactly the batshit stuff they're accusing? Citizens of those states deserve the same benefits, no matter how dumb they or their leaders are

  • Trump bizarrely claims nobody knows his Democratic rival’s last name (it’s Harris)

    I mean I hate him, but I didn't get that from this. To me it sounded like he was suggesting that her newfound supporters know very little about her, that they are fair-weather followers or something. It's easy to imagine that one of his yes-men showed him a clip of a rally where somebody was fumbling for her last name, and he just took that idea and magnified a single example of something into "nobody knows", like he always does.

    My partner and I once went as Leon and Matilda for Halloween. I finished off a quart of milk and filled it with pre-mixed negroni cocktai to sneak it into a party as part of my costume. Boy howdy, I was so drunk I was speaking in tongues at the end of the night.

    It's called tracking when you refer to the vertical spacing. That's what stands out to me as not so good.

    I'm so much more worried about my future kids' access to toxic alpha male shit and fascist propaganda than I am about porn.

    I mostly agree with you, but economics is at best a heaping tablespoon of math and a sack of human behavioral psychology. Those guys really only know what's going on 6 months after it happened.

    The door was opened normally by the driver, it was just forced open the rest of the way by the motorcycle.

    I can only speak about the US, but sadly, the unhoused die of hunger, preventable disease, and exposure all the time here. And unemployment does not cover a 1 bedroom apartment in major cities, nor does it qualify you for the outrageous requirements of most leases. You may be right about the status of the poor in the EU though.

    They eat cleaner food and have more amenities than a King, but they certainly don't live better. The point of the article is that the rising tide is floating a few boats wayyyy higher than the rest, and the overall growth does not justify the fact that people still die of hunger, get evicted while working multiple jobs, fall ill and are saddled by medical dept for life (US only), and shit like that.

  • "You can see the future first in San Francisco." OpenAI alumnus Leopold Aschenbrenner pours out a worshipful paean to the AI future, just as if GPT wasn't topping out its S-curve
  • rektdeckard rektdeckard 5mo ago 100%

    MBA idiots and Economists consistently overestimate the abilities (and the underlying nature) of AI, because the output of AI is so much like how they speak: eloquent, confidently wrong, unconcerned with ground truth. They see themselves in AI, and they consistently overestimate themselves and their abilities.

    I am truly sorry if I hurt any feelings. I honestly was not aware that we as a society decided that using that word is insensitive. I (34M) was sexually assaulted when I was 8, FWIW, and I understand that words have power. I just didn't get the memo in this case.

    What is the considerate way to title this post?

    I'm not OP, and it's literally in the title. Be an adult.

    EDIT: I obviously don't understand what the issue even is, because you just said rape. Is the word okay for comments but not titles? Or is the problem that you don't have the reading comprehension skills to read the word in the title and infer the nature of the content behind the link?

    If your delicate sensibilities can't handle reading this, imagine how these prisoners feel. This SHOULD shock you, and maybe that shock will motivate you to action against it.

  • Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?

    I found this leaflet on my car windshield the other day in Highlands area. The author (possibly homeless) seems to have a paranoid delusion about a government conspiracy forcing his wife to divorce him and marry another man. Pretty clearly a person with untreated mental illness, and sad on its own. What's weird is that when I researched the name, I found posts on Reddit (won't link here) reporting similar leaflets appearing in DC, Iowa, Oklahoma, Utah, and elsewhere going back at least a year. Anyone else find a similar note? Is this a real person, or is it some troll printing copypasta? Full text: > protesting against the law in the United States of America being paralyzed, defending the case, exchanging evidence, and then arranging to guide him to block the way to attack me, the government exchanged evidence and defended him, but the topic It's better to go to the game for him to block my way than to torture me, I'm usually sneaking over to my wife's house, but the government law in the US is sick and jealous and jealous of that guy and the topic of the game but guide that guy to block the way to attack me next i went to the wrong house, family court for divorce and divorce, but the government law in the US is sick while defending the exchange of case evidence and being jealous I just took care of that guy to not get famous for marrying my wife, but the family court colluded to form a divorce document that officially ended as husband and wife we add government legislation in America as petty as femininity and the subject of thought-ordering as typical perverts the court colluded to defend my homeless man's case my wife's enemy plus the court made a reasonable combination to prevent him from getting a reputation for marrying my wife plus the law that ordered couples to hug and kiss in front of me it was a shock of the law that the court forced me to no longer be able to fight my wife, plus mentioned before the game case, but the government legislation bans the topic of the game that torments me to this day for more than 10 years. protest against government legislation in the United States of America with typical crow's feet I don't understand no career in games so I'm tortured during work hours even I'm tortured in my sleep because of me just drove me over, but the government let the driver of the car speak loudly outside and the government law in the United States of America was very reasonable, a typical case of the government law just exchanged evidence defend the case of a homeless guy, my wife's wife at my house defend the case so that he won't be known for marrying my wife later, but the court of vacancy establishes a divorce document to officially divorce my husband and I, we oppose the law of government in the United States of America. My reasonable defense in the case of a homeless man who has just married in my house I oppose the law of government in the United States of America. My name is Tuan Pham' on the radio network, thanks.
