@AlexBerenson Not saying anyone should or should not take the vaccine for measles, but there are other risks than death, given it's low probability, you should at least be aware of those other risk factors along with risks with the vaccine and make the best decision for you and your kids!

[Johnboy @john_5554]

You kind of need to put all of it context. Yeah you want sell more than you buy, except when the rest of the world has zero to negative growth. You want your economy hot enough to be buying at this moment more than it sells abroad, this the American engine is what starts the rest of the world to health.

Regardless if you agree with this point of view or not, I have noticed push back to some of the more controversial points many in the LGBTQ+ groups are currently pushing. He point and others should be discussed and considered in what is important for our rights verses jumping on board with every issue the progressive movement pushes without considering is that one we should adopt or stay away from.

@krassenstein Must be a slow day of TDS information to go back to a March tweet! 🤣

@RichardAngwin Selfishness!

[Johnboy @john_5554]

OK you got me! This is a fake US congressman who created his fictional self in 2009 and was originally a Chicago educator! Go figure another educator trying to fool people! I suspect he is trying to show how foolish not only politicians can be in that also us foolish social media people believe it could be true, because sometimes it is with real politicians. What Jack gets out of it, well it probably feels good to pull one over on people, maybe he is earning a little coin or if he teaches marketing or any field that studies human behavior, well this gives him a view!

@RepJackKimble @vote4satoshi LOL your starting was probably asking a staffer to do it! Spent maybe 2 minutes asking Johnny or Janie to do the work! To funny!

[Johnboy @john_5554]

LOL, oh yeah that is worth $200k a year! What would we do if our numbered highway did have a politicians name on it or what would we do if we didn't have a humans name on a post office? I have been in hundreds of them and I don't remember the name of one of them. I can recall the town, area or street of many and the USPS sign and logo, but dang that so important name, nope! LOL idiot!

[Johnboy @john_5554]

@RepJackKimble It is full of idiots, but your comment about your 140 days. The intent for your job was a lot less and it was suppose to be part time job! When you make it full time, that is why we have so many taxes, bad laws and over regulation.

[Johnboy @john_5554]

This is all to funny, especially when Congress has the power of the purse. Trump can only ask for monies for any changes in the executive branch. Think about it even when he sees fraud often he can't stop paying money out as Congress approved the programs and funds. Even as a cop/executive he has trouble stopping fraud. If Congress didn't approve a 2 trillion deficit, we wouldn't have one! They have that power, Trump only manages/enforces it after the fact when the left doesn't tie his hands in courts!

@seanmdav LOL. When you import beef far way, you probably are importing a type and quality, that the average American isn't using for the grill on the weekend! Of course I am just guessing, but for the average beef I suspect it is coming from closer sources for China!

[Johnboy @john_5554]

LOL are you kidding me. Any mercury or arsenic is either airbourn or in the ash or scrubbing waste. The amounts are extremely low especially in the air as the SO2 scrubbers remove most of it. While it remains in the lime like wast from the scrubbers, that is usually landfilled in special landfills. It is highly unlikely to be released on purpose into any waterway as the sludge hardens in the landfill and the mercury and arsenic would be mostly bound to the lime like scrubbing material and fly ash captured in the scrubbing process. The picture included in the post is misleading. Any water that would including extremely low amount of these components would be a seepage via an unintended leak in a drying pond before the scrubbing waste is landfilled or water intrusion on the land fill and an unintended leak of the landfill liner and/or leak of it water rention system around the landfill. It would be at a seepage type of release if at all and the amounts would be extremely low if it did happen and mostly under the federal EPA allowed amounts. Probably the reason for the change on a rule that doesn't match the legal limits while being overly penalizing while driving up your and my electric bills for no reason. Oh one thing most people don't know your electric company monitors and self reports if they do have a leak. So they self reports and are required to continuously monitor and all the government does after you self reports is fine the utility which is passed on the customers. I suspect this is just removing penalties for something that will still be fixed, but won't cost customers an arm and a leg with a big fine for not breaking a legal limit.

[Johnboy @john_5554]

@GuntherEagleman We have 16 years of presidential material with just these two, but there are others as well. maybe we will get a 20 year run including Trump. That is what we need to fix everything!

The problem with AI, especially if you are not paying for a higher level of AI it will give you a probabilistic answer. A fast model for Gemini will probably not give you a full answer where pro will look for more detail. These models look at news, etc to determine if something is true and it puts probability to it to get you that yes or no. So a fast model will get articles with more claiming it is not true verse articles that say it is true. Given liberal media, you can be certain there are probably many articles that deny it so a fast model with a poorly written question will give you garbage. You can still use a free/fast model to get a good answer but you have to say something like this. is it true, do not rely on news articles only, but look for court records and government reports and or think tanks. When considering left or right information groups try to unbiased the results and when possible search for facts. Also provide me a confidence interval or probabilities of this being true or false. You still need to be precise in a pro/purchased model, but my go to is follow up questions. You can drill down into the truth, but never expect your best answer without followups.

[Johnboy @john_5554]

@monkieboy99 Lol. My first question when I walk in a store kitted out like that, "what am I doing being here..."!

[Johnboy @john_5554]

I don't agree with you on most things, but this I do! I like Musk, but will probably never buy one of his EVs as they are not what I like! You like them you should do what makes you happy. Stop carrying your politics on your shoulder! Enjoy what short lives we have and if you are so inclined , bitch on X if that floats your boat, but don't make it your life, or you will be very unhappy! 😎

I find this conversation funny. As an older gay man I see we are going in a circle. There was a time gay men and lesbians had their own spaces, then it changed were lesbians could come in mens bars, then lesbian bars open up to men, then straight women began entering mostly gay mens bars, then gay men started organizing groups to go to straight bars with the hope to not need gay spaces. During all of this we had a change that all spaces needed to be shared. Now it appears there is a beginning of a reversal to it all, beginning with minorities want safe spaces. Over my many years I have seen these changes. I always thought we may regret some of this opening up only in the sense, that it wasn't safe in the early years for us LGB's. Good has come from change in that it is safer, but given we don't always have those unique spaces, are we loosing our heritage and/or community even if some of it maybe on the questionable activities side? Of course we also need safe spaces sometimes as well! Anyway I don't know what the right answer is but we will always live in a world of change, nothing will stay the same!

[Johnboy @john_5554]

I know this sounds funny, but when I see this type of face which I don't know how to describe I get a gut feeling to avoid and don't trust. I asked AI about this and I guess it is normal for humans as it is a protection mechanism. I guess not enough citizens in Seattle had that guy feeling or my gut has a programming issue. Interesting enough I added a photo an pro AI actually gave me reasons why she has a face that might give a human the reaction I had. It really is a fascinating topic. I guess we will find out overtime if Seattle or I had a better gut feel! 🤣
