@JeromeAdamsMD @statesdj Mayo Clinic does not take insurance. Why go to a place that takes no insurance, especially for something routine?

@TheZvi Of the 400 most intelligent people in the world, it's likely that most of them are undiscovered. Only a few life paths are likely to get the person noticed, and alert them to their specialneds. Most people never set on foot on those paths.

@beowulf888 @KathrynPaisner test. SS is understandably hypercautious about president in a way law enforcement et al. are not about any other person or group. Anyhow, I hope it's clear I'm not on the side of those hating on Israel & the Jews, am just addressing the free speech issue.

[Pat Witt @PatWitt2432]

@beowulf888 @KathrynPaisner So if I said the president deserved to be tortured or murdered would the SS pay me a call? I think no if I was somebody just posting shit on Twitter, but yes if I was making statements to the press, or if I was an important public figure. But this doesn't seem like a reasonabl

@beowulf888 @KathrynPaisner If I say Trump deserves to be arrested at dawn and perp-walked past a line of photographers barefoot in stained pajama bottoms and with his hairsprayed combover flopped sideways into a downward pointing spike , that's a moral judgment, not a threat.

[Pat Witt @PatWitt2432]

@beowulf888 @KathrynPaisner Haven't read the document in question. Seems like whether its statement about genocide of Jews constitutes threatening would hinge on whether it said Jews deserve genocide or in fact literally called on the public to inflict genocide on the Jews.

@JesseTayRiver What do you think is a good option for someone who really does not want to go to college, and is so bad at academics they're probably right about college? Meanwhile, they're good with their hands.

@beowulf888 @MurielBlaivePhD During covid Zvi looked at the stats for teen girl suicidality and concluded that stats fluctuation indicated that school, not school closures, was associated with increased thoughts of suicide in girls.

@doodlestein @ylecun Translation for those uneasy about AGI and ASI: " . . . increasingly hard to put the xenomorph back in the airlock."

@FabianiKevin @michaelshermer Yeah, but this is you deciding not to talk to them, not some professional deciding for you. Very different.

@espinsegall @statesdj Naw, calm down, it's fine unless he rapes the witness in a dressing room or stands in the middle of Fifth Ave. and shoots them.

@statesdj But doctor, I read on Facebook that the vax might make my butt fall off!

@_Soren__ Prompts: "A desert llama with a barette on its tail. The barette has a bell on it. A boy is on the llama's back. Digital art." & "A stained glass image of a raven holding a key in its mouth. The raven is perched on a woman's shoulder and they are in a library."

[Pat Witt @PatWitt2432]

@_Soren__ I was able to get it to make both the raven and the llama images
