I mean that’s been mostly true in the last couple years… AI slop or neo fascism… Sometimes both :(

We don’t need to close the loophole. We need to make it illegal for ANYONE to digitally stalk us and create digital data troves on us. They should be restricted to a narrow data gathering of what we give them for the purpose we give them the data for.

I don’t want corporations collecting and selling data that I don’t trust the government with.

A world where they still do that but the government “isn’t allowed to buy it” isn’t much better than what we have. Worse, it could enshrine their right to gather it.

I stopped crying at 8 (because I was told to man up) and I’ve cried probably a handful of times since then. I’ve been working pretty hard on it and the first time I sobbed as an adult was so freeing. I haven’t gotten it back since, and I still get stuck in the stone face mode most of the time. I got pretty close watching “no other land” which was a devastating watch.

As a guy there is also a lot of shame and fear around crying. Especially around women. I’m scared of having my partner get the ick and not feel like I’m manly enough to be attractive and dominant anymore. I’d have an easier time crying around men because even if they don’t think I’m very manly, that’s not a big part of my social personality. At work of course it would be completely devastating…

I’m trying to make sure my kids all feel comfortable crying regardless of gender. Of course there is only so much you can do against social norms.

Doing something that looks like shit is the first step to doing something that looks sort of okay.

Things get better with experience and experience is just having a long list of failures to learn from.

The UK already has laws that cover all the crimes you described. We don’t need to add a label of “terrorist” which takes every crime and scales the sentence an order of magnitude. Especially when it’s added secretly and the jury doesn’t even know what they’re finding them guilty of. Especially when they’re not even allowed to describe the reason for their actions to the jury.

This is a sham court!

He’ll let you “research” culture, it’s just participating in culture he’s against!

Oh no, think of the poor capitalists. They might get mad and stop giving us their crumbs!

Get their meals, eat the rich!

I agree that project based learning is great. Your initial description isn’t really a summary of perfect based learning though.

Didn’t you hear? Dick says that’s all a myth, a ruse by the government to get more taxes… to do evil things like build roads schools and hospitals! This video is propaganda!

Yeah, not understanding math and statistics makes propaganda so easy! I’ve seen so many people invest their savings into things that were mathematically or physically impossible from the get go. Gambling too!

So your ideal school has no physical activity, no culture, and is filled with memorization of things that don’t matter. Wow sounds like you’ve spent at least 15 seconds thinking about this. Thanks for sharing!

Legalization/decriminalization is great, I have nothing against that. I just have a hard time seeing how drug enhanced competitions don’t turn into people dying for our entertainment.

I’ve thought about this a lot and I’ve gone back to being against it. A lot of performance enhancing drugs push your cardiovascular system pretty hard. If everyone is trying to juice as much as possible to win, they’ll end up competing to getting as close to death as possible for our entertainment to achieve the max performance. They’re either killing themselves in the process or shaving decades off their natural lifespans. I don’t know if creating such a system would be ethical.

A story as old as time

And of course that’s WHY he got crucified. He interfered with the most profitable business of the times: religious extortion. He did it in a way that was tremendously popular. The combination of popular policy and action that undermines the rich for the benefit of regular people is always the greatest fear of the rich. They’re always willing to kill to protect their position.

It’s a universal lesson.

It wasn’t just commercial activity. Money changers were charging a fee to buy shekels which people could use to buy an animal to sacrifice at the temple. Jesus was mad because the idea of inserting yourself as a middleman to extort money from people seeking salvation was basically blasphemy.

It takes more time to make sure the summary isn’t a hallucination than it takes to just write notes.

Every waiter can do it live without AI for 10 drunk idiots at the same time. Every doctor I’ve ever known just takes notes as we went without ever slowing the interaction down.

This tool cannot help and can only harm, using AI in medicine practically violates the Hippocratic oath doctors take.

If you take the limit of that you’ll realize that people won’t raise if you turn it off either.

You can see the satellites. Pretty much all satellite orbits are public due to the nature of satellites being in space where we can all see them. When a country’s military satellites pass over a specific location multiple times then that location gets precision bombed everyone knows exactly what happened.

Arguing against adblocker and for YouTube premium is the most center of the bell curve IQ meme take I’ve ever heard.
