@Jeb4nyd3b1l@NotRoPro Are you seriously questioning whether or not leaking unreleased software is a crime or not?
A lack of coercion or deception is irrelevant! Are you seriously implying he got permission for all this?
Yale's M4A "study" - which is not peer reviewed - simply plugged in lower spending levels without modeling how the health care system would function under the policies.
So they achieved $1 trillion in savings by... assuming $1 trillion in savings. Congratulations? 🧵
This may be the single most egregious structural failure I’ve seen in academia, out of a lot of egregious failures.
A system that suspends the person reporting academic fraud while conspiring to circle the wagons around the fraud itself is fundamentally, irreparably rotten.

@TobynJacobs As a kid to emulate that mod I would place a lot of chickens in an arena, ocelots on the other, and use a redstone contraption to free them and make them "fight"(ocelots would always win)
I'm confused, are you all purposely being obtuse? This is a survey on the nuances of what is considered rape! It's not that each thing IS rape.
Obviously you would have to figure out what isn't rape(and to what extreme).
Don't really get why something like instacart doesn't aggregate across all products and then allow you to sort by price(so you can find the absolute cheapest of something).
Seems flagrantly obvious tbh.
A new UK study has raised concerns about how teenage boys are using AI companion apps.
Researchers surveyed more than 1,000 boys aged 12–16 from 37 schools and found that around 1 in 5 either had an AI girlfriend or knew someone their age who did.
The study also found that:
- 85% had used an AI chatbot.
- 43% used AI to ask questions they were too embarrassed to ask someone else.
- 26% said they preferred the attention from AI companions over real-life relationships.
- 36% said they sometimes preferred talking to AI instead of friends or family.
Experts say AI companions could give young people unrealistic ideas about relationships because the bots are designed to always be supportive, agree with the user, and be available whenever needed.
I just left Costco and I feel like an idiot...
The people in front of me bought $1,200 in top shelf alcohol, cases of redbull, and steaks.
They split it up and paid for the steaks and redbull with EBT, and then pulled out a giant wad of $100 bills to pay for the alcohol in cash.
WTF am I doing with my life??? I haven't bought steak in years - I haven't bought alcohol in decades. Too expensive. On the rare occasion we eat out, I buy the cheapest thing on the menu.
Yet these people can just casually drop thousands of dollars of my tax money on things I can't even afford?? Just to drive home to a taxpayer funded house nicer than I live in.
We are completely destroyed as a society.
@spqr_sulla Unless someone has actually done the math in specific locations where it shows it's a bad idea then okay. But I haven't seen any of that so...
@spqr_sulla I think alfalfa isn't as useful as data centers and more directly corn ethanol mandates, something we don't need at all, use like 40x the water of data centers.
It's just an irrelevant amount of water in general.
