The average person shouldn’t be allowed to drive. It’s extremely dangerous and most people are desensitized to it and absolutely don’t take the natural responsibility towards others that comes with having the ability to kill someone with a finger twitch (or a slight lapse in attention) seriously enough. I don’t think it would be allowed if it was just invented this year.

Google photos and apple have been doing it for years too, they’re like we found this person 50 times in your photo collection, why don’t you name them?

Google says there are about 160M employed people in the US, so 72M is roughly 45% of the workforce. Vs 5% of the wealth. crazy.

This reminds me of when genetic researchers found that the human genome contains less genes than a tomato

The twitter format makes it feel like everyone is speaking from a soap box at all times, and people aren’t their best selves from a soap box.

Personally I don’t care if I’m talking to millions of people vs hundreds of thousands as long as there are enough people to make it feel alive and like a community.

I watched a documentary on Amelia recently and her sister was like (paraphrasing) “Amelia would have been so mad they’ve wasted this much money looking for her body, pilots died all the time back then.”

One thing I’d forgotten was that she had another person with her during that last flight—her navigator

google says the incident was in 2002 and the reneg in 2011 (cleared in 2012) so it seems like she’d have to be 16 at time of accusation, courts took a few years to actually jail him, and she would be about 25 when she came clean. It says the statute of limitations for lying in court was passed by the time he was cleared, so no chance for a counter-suit or he would have pursued* it. The accuser was ordered to pay back money she’d gotten from the school district for claiming an unsafe environment.

“ The county offered to compensate Umana for her veterinary bills if she agreed to refrain from publicly speaking about the shooting, but she rejected the offer, according to her lawsuit.”

Sickening

I know a couple teachers (college level) that have caught several gpt papers over the summer. It’s a great cheating tool but as with all cheating in the past you still have to basically learn the material (at least for narrative papers) to proof gpt properly. It doesn’t get jargon right, it makes things up, it makes no attempt to adhere to reason when it’s making an argument.

Using translation tools is extra obvious—have a native speaker proof your paper if you attempt to use an AI translator on a paper for credit!!

Baby Sauce looks to be more accurately 2.5 sauces or so

Texas removing tenure is going to have this effect too—chasing your experts away might seem like a republican utopia but I promise the people will follow the experts eventually.

I’m trying to learn German based only off of ich_iel content, danke fur dieses.

Love how the narrative went from “nah those can’t be snipers definitely spotters” to “snipers are commonplace at big events!” once it was confirmed. Also the fact that only msn and snopes have published anything about this (or is that just a search indexing problem?).

But in a response to her visa application, the Home Office told Ashkar that it had been denied on the grounds that granting it would "harm the public interest", without giving any further reasons or explanation.

I don’t think it’s envy for what the older generations have (“I wish I had that too”) so much as disgust at what they were/are willing to do to make and keep it (at politicians who don’t even intend well, at lobbying, at war mongering, at continued climate degradation, at racism, at the brutality of capitalism and the impact of it’s growth mandate, that some individuals have power way beyond their ability to take responsibility for their harm, etc).

I think the younger generations would be quite willing to adapt to things like high density housing, trimming back consumption, reducing meat intake, etc. in the name of balance with each other and the climate, but that would cause deflation and we can’t have that.

IMO a relatively big college, especially a public college, makes even isolated towns feel kind of urban which could be what you’re picking up on. This is as opposed to a suburb or a rural town where you’re expected to look and act roughly the same as everyone else. Having a large transitional population (of young people) changes their speed.

AJAX is also stronger than the chemical bonds that are supposed to keep the skin on your hands intact while you do dishes

Can we please also mandate landlords to update appliances in rental units if they’re not footing the electric/gas bill? So tired of paying obscene rates for inefficient appliances that I have no control over.

That’s a lot of nozzles
