Yeah this is reporting on the feedback from a focus group of like 20 people conducted by some Latino TV station… Not sure how representative that is of the wider electorate…

Please tell me, scientifically, why you are so sure that people of faith are wrong?
Because they all offer competing and mutually exclusive hypotheses.
Christianity tells us that the one true path to salvation is by accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour.
Hinduism tells us that our next life will take place in this world, based on our actions in this life.
Islam tells us that Mohammed is the one true prophet.
Buddhism says that there are no prophets, enlightenment only comes from within.
They make contradictory claims, so by definition they can’t all be right, and they typically claim that they are correct and the other explanations are false, so even if one religion is correct, the rest (comprising of the majority of the faithful) must be wrong.
Pretty ironic seeing Rolling Stone of all publications displaying a disapproving stance on drug use
If you wanted to do something like this you could put the charger on one of those electrical plugs with a timer, or a smart plug that’s switched on when the battery reaches a certain threshold
Models are getting more efficient and hardware is getting more powerful, it’s completely feasible that open source, self hosted, GPT4 equivalent and better models will be completely viable to run as individuals for reasonable costs (hundreds, not thousands) in the not too distant future.
As always, the will and knowledge to use the tools falls to the individual.
Churches are for-prophet though
Life’s pretty good here in Australia. No neighbours on the border causing problems, weather is generally good, lots of wide open empty nature to get out of the city, average salary is $93k and unemployment is low, crime is low. Inequality is a problem although our Gini coefficient has actually lowered recently. There’s a lot of life to enjoy, and really the endless stream of negativity is only experienced through the media, not in real life, so I switched off the TV and just focus on what’s going on around me, enjoying the people, places and activities that I like, and things feel quite positive.
Turn off the news, it’s bad for the psyche.
Joe’s poses really don’t help dispel the whole hair sniffing meme
Twitter has always sucked and destroying it at his own expense is the one good thing Musk has done. He should buy Facebook next.
If that MRI machine is in use then that gun can't have been there very long, the extremely powerful magnetic field means metal objects can not be present in the same room while the machine is active.
The article blames Millennials because it's the largest generation in terms of headcount, and then spends the rest of the time discussing how Millennials were fucked over. Interesting take… I wonder if they know how to actually apportion blame.
It's not the fault of the employer who's underpaying them?
I'm running Ubuntu on my laptop and it has a dropdown list on the login screen to select DE
America will use anything except the metric system
Right? I'm actually sympathetic towards the "gun is a tool" argument. I grew up on a farm and have been hunting, I can relate.
And those people who carry pocket knives and multi tools (and as a technician, I'm one of them) are presumably often encountering situations where those tools are useful. What are the situations where a gun is useful? What is the kind of job that tool is designed for?
I'm convinced that it's at least a little bit about the "OMG A GUN feeling". I don't see people walking around the street with a ball peen hammer holstered to their belt.
Why do you carry tools around with you all day? Do you also carry a hammer, reciprocating saw, spirit level or tape measure?
"You should let criminal acts go unpunished so your side can do them too" is certainly a hot take
Hamburgler?
Fair enough, but isn’t it reasonable to want the president of the United States to be someone who doesn’t fall apart after 9pm?
