For a bunch of cunts that culturally pride themselves on debate technique; they sure seem to have skipped grasping jumping to conclusions, suspending certainty, high threshold for knowledge & Motivated reasoning.

It feels like we’re entering a dark time.

Woke leftists couldn't win through open debate because their ideas are bad, so they resorted to weaponizing their speech through cancel culture. But now that cancel culture is losing its power, they're left with no words—only violence.

@RTEsport @louthgaa @officialgaa @monaghangaa @LouthProud RTE cop the fuck on. We were in a QF in 2023. Is this the quality of journalism you spend the TV licenses you coerce out of us on?

@RTEgaa @RTEsport @louthgaa RTE sport please would you cop the fuck on. This is basic journalism. We were in a QF in 2023. And then you go coercing TV license money out of us for this DOGSHIT? Not to mention the Sunday game saying no hooter in Inniskeen when there was. State of yis.

As with fat tails Llms are frequency machines that fail to extrapolate outside the sample set. What they know is the VISIBLE.

Almost as bad as economists, almost worse than psychologists.

@RobbieCoo76 @Ruylope21427887 Sounds like Cork or Kerry to me yeah - what's the actual craic/context with this please? Creased laughing here

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Economics takes a 4+ dimensional problem, models it for convenience as 3D (always missing the consequential dimensions), then analyses it as 2D while confusing the gullible public who interprets it as simple 1D.

Those who treat humans as machines are also treating machines as humans.

Life expectancy measures wealth and demographics, not health infrastructure which is in here. Ireland has the highest bed occupancy in the OECD, 43% fewer beds than the EU average, 900,000 on waiting lists, and 75% of GP lists closed to new patients. Education attainment is high yes, but 35,000 of those graduates emigrated last year because they can't afford to live here. The graph measures what the state builds and delivers, not outcomes that succeed despite it.

[An Scal Balb @Cian0o]

@TheSundayGame @RTEsport provision your servers so that RTE player can serve the demand that’s there. This has been solved in computing a long time ago - it’s
Called elastic scaling. You get enough from our TV Licenses and you run adds too. Cop on.

[Sinéad O’Sullivan @SineadOS1]

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.

That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.

That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.

People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

@MrJoeBarbarian @Coyote08714134 @nocontextmemes No @Coyote08714134’s apple splitting is the best analogy. If you’re not splitting it then it wouldn’t be split meaning it ISNT shared, hence undefined, not that each person gets 0 slices .

If the cosmos took billions of years to make you, if the iron in your blood was forged by stars, if your hair is stardust, if your heart is starlight, why, why would you waste your life thinking you're here to be anything other than the greatest flame in the frozen darkness: love
