So are cars, car shops, and restaurants. Guess we live in a war zone.

Turns out every US neighborhood is a warzone because they have more than 12 guns and cans of WD40.

If you kill hospitals, you kill a generation.

Social regression is necessary for genetic evolution. Some of us will not make it to find out.

Education isn't the problem. It's self control. People think they prioritize rational decisions but if that were true, cigarettes would be long gone and global warming would be solved. We prioritize feelings which is why GOP loves to fear monger and push religion. Nothing scarier than a eternal suffering, especially since eternity lasts a long time.

In this case, we have two countries that have held a religious divide for decades based on who believes they're actually worshipping the correct people so they don't get sent to eternal suffering. Except, they're willing to kill for their religious text because they feel so deeply that theirs is superior.

How can we as outsiders possibly take the right actions when the irrational people are willing to commit genocide over their feelings brains?

Personally speaking, the issue isn't I don't want to rely on them, it's that I can't use them for my use case because it'd be a HIPPA violation.

The alternative is a run a local/cloud version that I control. Discussing the set up process can be done on reddit without endangering patients.

Misdirection of values. We tell children there's a path, go to school, get a job, find a spouse, get married, get a house and have kids, but life isn't that simple. As life introduces chaos into the path, people fall off and some have a hard time getting back on. We've spent so much time on developing social media and marketing platforms that idolize those that make it through the path that no one looks out for those that fall off, making them feel isolated and unheard. Niche social media and mass marketing for weapons has made it easy for lone wolves to seek revenge on the system that let them down.

I think we can generally say the above is true across all political spectrums. The below might be rejected, but it's my view.

The right has made increasingly extreme statements to pull in these vulnerable people in order to make them feel heard, but it's just for show and votes. We've seen how politicians like Trump are really just using them for his own gains and as the NRA funnels more money into the "system", it really takes huge government action to curb this cycle.

This mentality is the same as saying Wikipedia is not a source. I agree, there are better regulations that need to be implemented, but the speed at which these things are being churned out and tuned is mind blowing. It's like if Wikipedia started branching off into sub categories that each have their own specialty, which can be more easily moderated, and then folded back into the more general system.

Not praising the war on terror, but we very quickly identified targets and let it be known that we were invading for these specific people.

Israel's handling of this feels like they're just leaving it at war against bad guys/guys we don't like very much/people that look at us funny/Jim from down the street.

It exists because it's ridiculous to expect government to know about every industry's ins and outs. Sometimes we benefit from lobbying as because some old law is affecting new processes or we need to support funding for something that we didn't know about.

The issue is when shit is mundane and worthless like the topic op presented. Lobbying against climate policies just means you're part of the problem. We understand enough to know the policies need to exist and it's a waste of everyone's time and money for these giant corps to lobby against them.

I go to concerts/look up who's touring with the band. It ends up being more than the subscription cost, but it goes to the venue and band rather than Spotify and Joe Rogan.

Becoming a monopoly and tech giant is pretty nice..

To add, you have to become a partner before ever seeing a penny, which means you've fronted all the start up costs.

It's not supporting terrorism. Citizens should not be judged by their worst counterparts. Otherwise, we'd fucking burn America to the ground because Trump ran us deep into nazi territory.

No shot the bottom left was ai gen without human help. AI has so much trouble delivering words and text.

You mean added ad content that's not removable or blockable, charging a subscription for no new features, and blocking users he doesn't like.

Yeah I'm not buying a car from a megalomaniac that might flip the switch for Tesla over 6 months to become his new biggest ad/subscription machine.

What's easier to believe? He made a terrible financial decision and consistently made worse decisions to make one of the worlds largest social media platforms into the ground or he just an immature man child that has no goal other than to be edgy?

I still say he named it X because he planned on killing it. Fuckwad Musk was a Trumper and only quit because Trump had a bigger ego.

The problem right now is the incentives.

Banks are incentivised to buy homes. It increases the homes for sale and reduces supply.

Banks are deincentivized from building homes. It increases supply.

Increase supply, and the whole first bullet crumbles. They'll run out of money eventually, and if they don't, at least we have more homes on the market to balance out rent.
