5·7 months agoFuck. I thought I might have more time to see him one day. Waited too long
It’s impossible to know exactly what we don’t know. This is a big issue, but there are people taking it seriously. It seems likely new antibiotics which will work are going to be developed. For example: this new class that was discovered a couple months ago using AI.
Welp. I guess we better buckle up as it’s about to get much much worse considering the new text-to-video AI capabilities coming https://openai.com/sora Very worriesome
Dang, I was just planning on a trip to Alaska to get scratched by stray cats. I guess I’ll have to cancel now that this newfangled Alaskapox has popped up.
2·9 months agoInterestingly enough, I had thought the rumour that his wealth came from an emerald mine his dad owned, but it does seem to be the case that that his dad only claimed to have part stake in an emerald mine, it was apparently in Zambia and not South Africa, and there doesn’t seem to be any credible evidence that Elon received any substantial money via this route or even any evidence of the existence of this mine. I think Snope’s investigation, which corroborates the aforementioned debunking of rumours about Musk, was done pretty well: https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/11/17/elon-musk-emerald-mine/
PS: Whether or not Elon Musk is a nepo baby born with a silver spoon in his mouth does not impact whether his propensity to say and do unhinged things and perpetually confabulate about the prospects of his companies. e.g. Thunderf00t’s many videos

Section 6. Except as provided for in Section 4, nothing in this act shall be construed as limiting or preventing psychologists, psychological technicians, and master’s level licensed mental health professionals from rendering the services for which they are qualified by training or experience involving the application of recognized principles, methods, and procedures of the science and profession of psychology and counseling. Section 7. Nothing in this section shall be construed to establish a new or separate standard of care for hospitals or physicians and their patients or otherwise modify, amend, or supersede any provision of the Alabama Medical Liability Act of 1987 or the Alabama Medical Liability Act of 1996, or any amendment or judicial interpretation of either act.
If affirming care means socially affirming as well as medical (drugs / surgery) then the law isn’t entirely against affirming care because it doesn’t mention anything against social affirmation and explicitly allows for psychologists to make appropriate decisions in that realm.
I’m not saying I’m for this law, but it is important to be precise about what the law is. It’s actually not a very long read.
Why martyr him when you can slowly turn him into Emmanuel Goldstein?
Pathetic. Given the seriousness of what he said, and continues to say even this month, no one with a working brain could possibly believe anything in this sad non-attempt at an apology message. It doesn’t resolve anything, it doesn’t make clear that he understands what was wrong with what he said, it doesn’t specify what he is going to do differently going forward, and it isn’t even clear that it is truly a message from him or genuine.
Ok, that was in March/June. What does that have to do with Israel now? Still not quite understanding how
“Israel is about to cause peace in the Middle East.”
is implied by
“Iran and Saudi Arabia normalized.”
Iran and Saudi Arabia normalized?
It doesn’t prevent the rape, but they do have “cul-de-sac pouches en route, that could prevent fertilisation by capturing unwelcome sperm.” So they can choose whether or not they get fertilized. Which is at least some sort of a defense. Edit: link for quote
Wait until we start sentencing pedophiles to whole body CRISPR mutation of the oxytocin and serotonin gene so they only get 21 years but become incapable of love and happiness forever. Do you think that would be a better punishment?
Roads? What are you smoking?
Try this on for size: Tipping is a Legacy of Slavery
This opinion by Michelle Alexander always stuck with me.
Drop the conspiracy kool-aid and just try to evaluate the facts as they are presented. Very prevalent rape in India is not new and likely increasing.
About time. On that note: required viewing: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/plastic-wars/ enlightening…
