Well all the business leaders who think that’s a dumb cultural perspective just bought all three branches of government.

Needing to own a car to exist in society is a tax.

And yet Maosism has shown it is the superior successor.

BuT aT wHaT cOsT?

I’m hoping it’s Global Hegemony.

It’s a shrewd move as the global south will be feeling the worst effects of climate change and China is the only country that’s offering infrastructure based on renewables at scale.

Not $200 but ended up buying a xerox phaser. When looking at cost per page it is one of the cheapest though.

Maybe I’m weird but I don’t like getting a scanner combo. Scanners break more easily than printers and after my Brother all-in-one had a busted scanner I’ve been going for portable scanners that run off USB power from the laptop. Canon lide has been a solid scanner for me.

I think this is trans positive, here’s why:

Top left: trans women are hot

Top right: hetero person who is confused by being attracted to a hot woman, they will make themselves known unfortunately

Bottom left: explicit support

Bottom right: chad will agree and be supportive when their sis are hurt. (I choose to believe this was the intent because I want to believe in humanity)

Baths are just more fun.

Oh, you actually serious?

I don’t care enough about this to debate his motives, I just know stupidity when I see it.

Lol. That was good but you need to double down on the irony at the end or else people might think you’re serious. Maybe rift on him crossing state lines.

Saying that you’re not worth the time for personal interactions but here’s a reason that’s okay is a platitude.

Additionally, AI will only be getting better,

It might get cheaper, but that doesn’t mean it’s doing a better job.

if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

That’s just it, if you’re talking to someone who’s is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it’s mostly platitudes.

I’ll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I’m not sure if I have the words but I’ll try.

It’s less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead, but the social & political context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.

half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.

If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire or a D&D play group

I wonder how well this runs AutoCad and adobe

Software is part of the superstructure comrade.

What the hell do you think federation is? A Trotsky plot?

Ever tried siracha deviled eggs? Or with grey puopon? I wonder what the price of eggs are now…

Was watching Lindsey Ellis’s latest video essay where she was comparing conservative children media to those that teach social emotional intelligence. It struck me that much of media is socializing kids to have a officer in their head to be disappointed if they act in a way authority disapproves of. My kid loves power rangers but I get the same vibe, lots of shame based morality without validating what people are feeling.

Actually reminds me of some lines from a closing of a comedy act on this very topic: https://youtu.be/JdJwzSsLWZM

Instead of talking about all the things you loose for standing up for the right thing, talk about all the things you gain.
