No doubt about the mental health issues, and I agree it’s a huge problem in the US. In terms of how the police responded to this though, it’s really tough to judge. It seems they prevented something worse from taking place.

I’m confused. I’m going to assume this reply was meant for someone else? I only started here like a week ago.

I saw a KIA the other day that I was surprised looked as slick as it did. Decided to look into it and saw a lot of positive reviews from owners. Was refreshing to see, but definitely surprising. The market is definitely changing and evolving. Tesla isn’t the only game in town.

Whose to say he didn’t have one already? You’re not wrong about healthcare in general, but I’m not sure this is really the right forum for that point to be made.

The fact that this exists is the most hilarious rebuke to the guy you are replying to I can pretty much imagine.

It’s also an extremely common last name among white people. It tells you nothing on a resume. This dude’s name is akin to someone named John Smith.

His name was already about as white bread as it gets. This is a real and genuine problem when it comes to hiring, but it’s going to be a huge uphill battle for him to prove anything here.

Mastadon is your friend. Switch to it and never look back. It is so much better than Twitter ever was.

They are fascists, and they didn’t delay for the fuck of it. They don’t even hide their support of Russia. They are all sedititious fucks.

A past preferred candidate? Trump has been a straight up Russian stooge since the fucking 1980s. I am so sick of the media tip toeing around this shit. Gee, I wonder if it’s because more than half the media was bought by the same handful of right-wing douchebags that are promoting Trump and Russian interests. The real coup happened in 2016.

None of which is surprising to anyone who is paying even the slightest bit of attention. The right wing has been bought and paid for by Russia for at least the past decade.

No, they’ll vote for Trump anyway because “genocide”. As if Trump doesn’t actually want to wipe Palestine clean off the map, whereas Biden doesn’t actually support that at all. People’s priorities are confusing as hell.

Unfortunately, around half of the Trump voters are women. Turns out men and women actually seem to favor fascism pretty equally.

I went out on a date with a woman who actually did that to me, then tried to turn the date into a loud and aggressive Trump stump speech. This was back around 2015, right before the election. The waiter actually came and helped me get out of it. These people operate on another plane of reality. I sincerely wonder if she’s still drinking the Kool-Aid.

I feel like narrow AI tools duped me for a while, but the more I started to really use Chat GPT professionally, the more I’ve likened it to professional mimicking software. It essentially works to pyt out responses that sound the most convincing but have nothing to do with putting out responses that are actually at all accurate. These are terrible tools outside of asking basic questions, idea generation, and generally summarizing existing information you feed into it. I use it to help me make lists and better phrase emails and company messages at this point and nothing that actually requires any actual fact finding.

Probably something like the Bronze Era collapse, but with a lot more people and likely a rebound that leads to a slower industrial revolution involving renewable materials. I think the actual collapse will take a lot longer than people seem to think, on the order of the next 75 to 100 years. I think for some, it could happen rather quickly over the next 10-20 years, but for most, it’ll be a slow and meandering quality of life decline over several generations that is already under way. Recovery will take much longer on the order of 100 to 250 years. I am basing this guesstimate on absolutely zero scientific information whatsoever.
