Wrong about a lot, pls correct me. DMs open. I mostly lurk, RT, & argue on this account. If you say “pronouns in bio” you’ve lost the argument. He/him 🏳️🌈
@Aldcroft1Julie@MartinSLewis Julie - you will now have people in the comments offering to help you. Please be aware many or all of these will be scammers too.
Consider reaching out to the financial ombudsman service regarding your issue or even media outlets
Consider the 8 page conference paper. Perhaps the LaTex for the paper is 100,000 ASCII characters (a character set of 128).
I could brute force the entire space of conference papers, there are only 128^100,000 possible conference papers of this length.
So let’s just create them all. By Tobias’s “monkey dart” standard, there are almost certainly several brilliant papers in here. All of which should absolutely get published. But finding it ourselves is a lot of work. Maybe we just submit them all and let peer review decide what is actually publishable?
Congratulations, we re-derived why it’s not helpful when people spray and pray AI generated paper submissions.
This is why I'm going to keep banging this drum. We desperately need a federal law that protects people from these lawsuits.
You do not have freedom of speech if a thin-skinned censor like Taibbi can cash out your retirement fund with a call to a bad lawyer.
Anyway, I think of this as a classic modern British tale - Tory government legislates for something it barely understands; public bodies do that; everybody is unhappy.
I might settle for less than that plus improving my working conditions but ultimately my employer did one thing you never do. In trying to fuck me they accidentally fucked the taxman and sadly he don’t like that
Last time my employer tried to fuck with me I sent two strongly worded emails and made one call. They immediately backed down. This time them fucking with me might just cost them over 24k
I’m the only person at my job who is in a union. Previously I’ve been pretty lowkey about it.
This week my employer has fucked me about massively.
So guess who is getting a whole ass union recruitment pack delivered next week.
The finding out stage for my boss begins now.
[1/3] Men's testosterone levels did not plummet over the past decade like many wellness podcasts would have you believe... we just switched the measurement assay from immunoassay to mass spectrometry
When we switched assays, we observed a ~100% increase in self-reported healthy men with low testosterone. The threshold needed to be updated when the assay changed.

Has the twitter algorithm been tweaked in a pro-natalist way? My ‘for you’ feed has a whole bunch of pro-pregnancy posts in it. Might just be a random fluke but also I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk is putting a finger on the scale given his views.
@cuckfapitalism@postoctobrist I dm’d her a couple of times and she was always so gracious and kind.
Very sad to find out she passed and seeing the gross replies is sad.
Wait. Now it’s okay that the government demands that a tech company delete something?
If memory serves, just a short time ago this very action was described in the most heated terms (and not entirely without reason) as a totalitarian violation of the right to free speech.
I’ve got it: What if we pointed out their hypocrisy? After we point out their hypocrisy, they’ll have no choice but to behave in a manner that is consistent with their purported values.
