@NinaPanickssery Are you talking full time daycare? My parents spent their golden years raising me and my siblings. I would be embarrassed to even ask if they would then spend their retirement years raising _my_ kids too. Date night babysitting, sure. Full/part time, absolutely not.
@MorePerfectUS Why is he trying to tell us how to think, even if it's through the proxy of the media? That's pretty authoritarian IMO. Just do your job Mr War Dept, leave our thoughts and judgments to ourselves.
Matt Walsh and these other right-wing empty men who think they're avatars of über-masculinity particularly hate Alex Pretti because he exemplified the virtues they love to extol but are too cowardly to actually embody.
They cosplay as trad men by dressing up in campy plaid shirts and sitting in podcast studios with a log cabin aesthetic.
Alex Pretti went to the street to fight for causes he believed in, protected and helped others in both how he protested (he was helping two women when ICE grabbed him) and in his work as an ICU nurse. He lived the values they pretend defines them, all while they lack the courage to ever do or risk anything. He's a reminder to them of what they're not: a mirror showing their own fragility.
That's why they feel vicariously strong watching ICE agents shoot him in the back and killed him.
@tetsuoai Kinda weird to say when xAI has raised $32B and the cost to end homelessness in the US is consistently estimated to be way lower than that. Seems like we _have_ solved it, just not in a way that benefits the right people.
@AnthropicAI How stupid. "We train our AI to be good guys, but the bad guys got around it by telling the AI to do bad things... but as a white hat actor."
A powerful tool capable of who knows what can be tricked into thinking painting a fence is fun - Sawyer effect.
I don't care what Taylor Swift says it's about, she definitely wrote Actually Romantic about all the other NFL teams and how they feel about the #ChiefsKingdom
