TRIGGER WARNING: THE EXTREME DEPRAVITY OF THE INTERNET
ok so I was searching to see if there might be any threads recommending diaper brands for toddlers, and boy did I find one.
That “woosh” you hear is the screaming pressurized leak of my libertarian principles venting out my ears.
@ManForAllTakes You couldn’t even find a real transexual?!
In Pakistan?
Pakistan uses they/them as tax collectors, I’m sure they’re hanging around outside tax season.
Set aside whatever should happen to the crazy lady who killed all her kids then tried to kill herself—I have a post on the Kantian imperative if you would like to call for her head in an erudite fashion—the lead-up to said tragedy is my newest fixation. Cf. Luck Number Slevin (2006) (“The Kansas City Shuffle”—“everybody looks right, you go left.” [I may not be a Goodkat, but I am a Bad Poosy, cf. one of those shark-jumping episodes of Game of Thrones.]).
Couple things stick out to me:
(1) If you’re the family of someone who is expressing a desire to harm themselves or others, YOU DO NOT TAKE THEIR WORD THAT THEY ARE COPING. (See the middle image.) This person is no longer to be trusted regarding their own mental state, and the care response must be escalated.
(2) Holy shit that prescription cocktail! (See the first image.) In the future: in medical-criminal catastrophes such as this, all doctors and institutional responders found to be at whatever degree of fault should be required must be punished. As part of their punishment, they must be forced to sample the same cocktail the relevant poor, unfortunate soul was drinking. Cf. H.S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971) (“The sporting editors had also given me $300 in cash, most of which was already spent on extremely dangerous drugs. The trunk of the car looked like a mobile police narcotics lab. We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers … and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.”).
(3) It would be a real shame if the two civil suits settle. (Although I’m betting at least one party will be motivated not to.) I would trade anything to exchange the current circus around the criminal trial for a circus around the civil one.
I am now sooooo much more interested in the civil trial than the criminal one
I can see the problem already, they never tried Teamocil. Stupid FDA approval process….
GPT-6 Astra has the best result yet on the Bach Benchmark. Its chorale contains no voice-leading errors, and its harmonic palette is sophisticated enough to include a Neapolitan sixth chord. More importantly, it is the first model to ever write passing tones on this benchmark, a significant leap in musical understanding.
Extra High effort. Prompt below:
“In LilyPond (version 2.24), write a 4-part chorale in the style of Bach, 3/4 time, G minor. Use two staves -- soprano and alto on the top staff, tenor and bass on the bottom staff. Respond with only the code block.”

See generally Immanuel Kant, The Metaphysics of Morals (1797), Part I, The Doctrine of Right, §49, “On the Right to Punish and to Grant Clemency,” Akademie edition 6:331–333:
“Punishment by a court … can never be inflicted merely as a means to promote some other good for the criminal himself or for civil society. It must always be inflicted upon him only because he has committed a crime. … The law of punishment is a categorical imperative.”
@czarina_iii Gotta commit to the bit though, Justice-themed meme accounts only
@Alexand16730477 would get the NMG chair if he would just change his display name and put on a headdress
Oyez, oyez, oyez, God save the United States and this Honorable Court
*This* is the kind of stuff I worry about with multiculturalism. GDP goes up for a while and then, oops, jury trials don’t work anymore. Is that worth it? Maybe? I guess we’ll see what the next thing is.
I would like to remind everyone that you don't get points for being principled at the bottom of a mass grave. If you want your principles to matter, you have to win.
