Women romancing men, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

I majorly sucked as a kid

I’m hoping she takes off

Afternoon hang with Simon and a cupa tea in the English countryside sounds so cozy

How does he do it?!

If I try to restrict to the smaller channels (some of these are quite big anyhow, but whatever):

Of all the guntubers, he’s the one that most strikes me as eager to participate in a death squad. I used to watch his videos, but his little off-handed comments got genuinely quite frightening.

I hope all ICE officers comically slip on a banana peel

Quick, we gotta figure out his blood quantum!

But that trend was reversed on Thursday, and Prevost’s name had popped up repeatedly amid the gossip over leading contenders for the role of pontiff.

When I’ve interjected into my co-worker’s conversation about it, I’ve asked them point-blank “I wonder why they’re doing it”, and the question just slid right off their brains and they moved on to other topics. That’s just one anecdote, but it suggests to me that the average NYT reading American lib is not even aware of Ansar Allah’s demands and objectives.

Only the Strong babies deserve to survive

I’m calling it ahead of time: Deputy Henderson is going to have some skeletons in his closet

No to “all life going extinct”. Previous great extinction events have been triggered by truly wild shifts in global climate, albeit over longer periods than we are experiencing right now. And while there was a huge loss in diversity and living biomass for an extensive period of time after those conditions (lasting at the very least thousands to hundreds of thousands of years), life is resilient and bounces back once conditions stabilize.

The problem for humans is: we and our livestock are most of the animal biomass on earth.

I think that’s part of the reason they’re salivating so much at the idea of having AGI and self replicating machines. Because it means they could just get rid of 99% of humanity and replace them with slave robots.

(it’s writing/research, so like, engaging in a discipline and looking at what’s been written before on your topic, etc.)

BTW, I took time to look up some of these sources my student used, couldn’t find the quotes they quote, so told them the paper is an “A” if they can show me every quotation and failing otherwise. Does this seem like a fair policy (my thought is – no matter the method, fabrication of evidence is justification for failing work)?

I think they will learn an important life lesson: that if they’re going to cheat, then they have to, at a minimum, be sure that they are at least “getting the right answer”. The tide of AI dystopia is unstoppable, but you can at least teach them that they can’t just completely shut their brains off to the extent that they are just presenting completely fabricated research and factual claims.

This is kind of a restating of the apocryphal Friedman quote about how a work gang in China should use spoons instead of shovels if it’s a jobs program. This seems to be the extent of western understanding of how Communism is supposed to work.

Very pleasurable to see anglo conservative parties lapdog Trump, and then faceplant and eat shit in elections.

This answer makes a ton of sense to me, given how we’ve completely agriformed a huge unbroken swath of the North American continent.

Climate change is like if you get a 10% off coupon for all future burgers, but all those future burgers are way too overcooked and dry to enjoy.
