ARFID was my first thought too. My partner has it and it’s pretty intense.

Yep, I have no problem at all paying back my student loans. But I’ve always found it odd that federal loans charge interest beyond just servicing the loan. Dump the interest and make it a flat fee, or change the interest to like 1%.

You’re correct.

This I either no one else pushing, or an ominous sign of what’s to come this year.

It’s worth noting Max topped the charts in preseason as well though. And we all know Max doesn’t like being anywhere but the top.

Well, the only thing my dog did was start to lose her bladder control before I put her down. But she managed to make it to the pee pad every time even then.

Not all dogs bro. My girl was perfect. Didn’t even bark. I’ll probably never find another one like her though.

lol. I don’t think everyone see what you’re doing here but I do 😂

It’s because language evolves. LLMs aren’t the traditional AI, but we’ve been referring to things like NPCs in video games as AI and all sorts of other decision making trees as AI for so long that we’ve muddied the waters as to the term’s meaning that we needed to get specific with AGI to denote that it would be something different.

It annoys me too, but better to get on board than rail against the current of the ocean.

Your minimum wage is $23.23 USD/hour. Ours is $7.25/hour.

You don’t have rent control but you DO have a government that drives wages with regular review and increases determined by the FWC. Our wages have practically stagnated for 30 years. It’s been 15 since we last saw a minimum wage increase.

You really can’t compare Australia’s housing situation to the US’s because of the massive economic differences.

In a world with infinite resources maybe. But consider places like NYC where there is no more land to build on and agencies with money gobble up whatever land/buildings become available before an enterprising agency can come in to shake up the market and you’ll start to realize one of the major failings of capitalism.

Capitalism always favors the rich at the expense of the poor. The only way that the poor can prosper is at the good will of the rich, which is something that exists in such small quantities that it may as well not exist at all.

Many, many things.

I was an extremely pious and devout evangelical Christian, no longer am.

I was pro-life and am now solidly and rather aggressively pro-choice.

I was anti-LGBTQ, turns out I’m very queer myself.

I used to be very into guns and was one of the crazy 2A folks, now I’m much more reserved with regards to firearms.

I used to say ‘let’s glass (insert Middle East bogey man country of the day)’, but now see the nuances of the situation which are almost always that the US did something pretty damn shitty to kick the hornets nest.

There are a thousand social issues, pop culture lies, health and wellness myths, and so many more things that I’ve evolved on over the past 10 years that it’s mind boggling. I’m absolutely nothing like the person I was when I turned 30 ten years ago.

I’m not here to engage in an argument, only to point out that this:

so they have the same right to speech that you do in the United States with the same garentee, If you want to tell me its only as good as the paper its written on, I will ask the same thing about the US.

Is fucking idiotic. You’re trying to argue that if one country has a constitution that it ignores but uses as a front for people like you to point at and say ‘china’s great and has free speech’ it invalidates every other country’s (or maybe you’re just arguing against the US constitutional right to free speech?) constitution because it’s also written in paper. Absolutely idiotic.

The deep deep dish is really good with really good flavor. It’s a favorite for me.

Dicks isn’t far behind really. But in far more willing to spend my money there because the food quality is so much better and they do a great job taking care of their employees.

Ok boomer

They support him because he’s an avenue to get what they way.

I’m so done with your bad faith arguments. Jfc.

You’re intentionally obtuse, you ignore the points I’m making, making up fallacious and straw man arguments, ignoring empirical data, and failing to make a single argument with any sort of data to support it. Instead you engage in whataboutism as if it is some gotcha moment that should win me over and start convincing women to stop being cautious around men because if they don’t they’re bigots, when you have made clear time and again that you don’t even understand what bigotry is. Get your shit together and make a valid argument or shut up. Until you do, I’m out.

Make a valid argument and I’ll listen and consider. I am open to acknowledging that I am wrong, but you’ve failed to to make any form of reasonable argument beyond ‘nuh uh that sounds like racism’.

You're saying that the FBI crime statistics demonstrating that more crimes per capita are committed by black Americans than any other race are fabricated?

Yes. I am. But not the way you’re thinking. The data is unreliable for the following, well documented, reasons:

It doesn’t account for socioeconomic disparities, which is a far greater indicator and predictor of crime than race.

It doesn’t acknowledge systemic bias and racism in policing practices, again well documented.

It doesn’t take into account disparities in reporting and data collection.

Ultimately the fbi statistics are in fact questionable for a multitude of reasons, the least of which being that they are direct statistics that don’t take into account underlying causes.

The statistics regarding women and sexual assault are quite straight forward with far fewer underlying questions. The reality is, in fact, that sexual assault is known to be quite under reported and that the numbers we have are known to be understating the issue.

You have no argument so you are resorting to straw man arguments.

Make a valid argument or shut up.

In every case you cite there was not a preponderance of empirical data. It was fabricated.

Are you arguing that the data I’m citing is fabricated?

Again, the definition of bigotry is ‘obstinate or unreasonable’ belief. Empirical data, and the experiences of women everyday, makes the caution reasonable. It is not bigotry for women to be cautious around men, especially strange men but even with men that women know (80% of rapes are perpetuated by someone the victim knows). Trust is earned and the default should always be caution, especially when the person you’re dealing with holds any sort of power over you (authority, physical strength, etc.).
