Yeah, we do have to much Judge Dredd syndrome, that's for sure.

It's stuff like this that makes me think all girls should be pulled aside at an early age and taught no holds barred knife fighting and then given a very sharp knife to carry visibly at all times.

This would be a great opportunity for trolling the Republican party. Have all the Democrats come together to support a new Republican speaker and get them elected... First order of business, vote them out again and laugh.

If it helps to know, you mainly stand with your legs, depending on your technique, your head can stay at pretty much the same height ras it was when you were sitting, sort of an upward ass salute.

According to the Mayo Clinic you may be oversimplifying the cause of narcissism as "not being loved enough" when in fact there are multiple potential causes including:

• Environment — parent-child relationships with either too much adoration or too much criticism that don't match the child's actual experiences and achievements.
• Genetics — inherited characteristics, such as certain personality traits.
• Neurobiology — the connection between the brain and behavior and thinking.

It's fine that you advocate not prejudging or discriminating, but overlooking two out of three categories of potential causes is equally disingenuous.

People aren't really real to him, he is the only one that really matters. He is so stuck inside his own reality that he can't really understand anyone else having one. To him, everyone else is part of his equation.

Not really no. But it is possible to find someone who helps your feel appreciated, loved, and valued for who you actually are instead of trying to change you.

In the way the words are being used here, it absolutely does.

There's been a lot of propaganda for a long time that "socialist" countries are authoritarian, abusive, and usually dictatorships, so by that measure, of course you would have to make the argument you do, but the fact of the matter is that socialist policies are just policies where we pool resources as a group to provide a public good. It's opposite would actually be free market capitalism, where you have to subscribe to a fire service to protect your house (it worked that way on the US once, feel free to Google it).

The methods of governing are a completely separate axis, ranging between power vested solely in an individual or small group, and true democracy.

It is absolutely possible to have countries that are democratically socialist, or free market dictatorships. Just because America is still mainly a democracy doesn't mean we can't look at it's policies and see a clearly socialist component of public services. In my mind the truly perplexing thing is how people can label things like a tax to provide everyone access to free books and other media, taxes that support universal fire and police protection, and taxes that support free education for everyone (through high school only!) and say they are just normal non-socialist things, and then look at taxes that would pay for higher level education, for health protection, or for childcare so you are always able to go earn a living, and suddenly they are foaming at the mouth and screaming "socialism!"

But trying to derail an entire conversation by arguing about one word is a lot easier than trying to actually address the points of an argument, so we see that a lot.

I feel like the one overriding tenet of the Republican party used to be party loyalty, but now they are all convinced that means the party should be loyal to it's members, not the other way around. So while now the party can't even hold a speaker and is fulll of infighting, you still see these petty anti-loyalty attacks like this.

I'd feel like it was more cutting if they weren't constantly attacking each other as well.

Third party here, if we want to be fair and acknowledge that some milk supplies are worse than others, let's also acknowledge that nut milks are notoriously water intensive as opposed to a grain based milk like oat. But I'll heartily agree that water rights, management, and surrounding legal actions in California are... nuts (bu dum tsss) right now.

The children's book "the emperor's new clothes" is so unrealistic who would ever buy into that kind of delusional thinking?

Meanwhile all the people that have been suckered by this guy despite all the evidence that he is just a con man...

My takeaway from this is that Nestle probably doesn't own any dairy companies, but probably does own a plant that makes oat milk. They keep all the profit in their own ecosystem by buying their supplies from themself and then get to tell us how green and thoughtful they are.

I think the place we haven't quite gotten to yet is that copyright is probably the wrong law for this. What the AI is doing is reverse engineering the authors magic formula for creating new works, which would likely be patent law.

In the past this hasn't really been possible for a person to do reliably, and it isn't really quantifiable as far as filling a patent for your process, yet the AI does it anyway, leaving us in a weird spot.

It might not be long until we design the captchas so that the only ones who can get it right must be AI.

You are not alone, some people believe that at the very end instead of ceasing to exist, you do, in fact, get to speak to the manager.

Try to remember, you have not existed before, this isn't something new.

And the fact that nothing matters means that we get to choose what matters ourselves, it could be money, fame, competence, love. You get to choose what to invest your time in and your choices will change the world bit by bit.

What kind of world do you want to help create?

Well shoot, if this keeps up they might have to start trying to judge people by the content of their character instead of just their virtue signaling. Do you know how fast the system would fall apart if voters actually had to figure out what kind of person their representatives were?

Priority 1: are there any things that will be less good if I don't take action immediately? (Bills due, hungry, out of groceries, bad feelings)

Priority 2: ...if I don't take action soon? (Cleaning up, planning transportation, mending or replacing clothes, setting aside money for future expenses, mental health and recreation)

Priority 3: is there anything I could improve by making plans or making repairs? (Finding a better job, moving to a better home, repairing/improving your current home, investing in current/future relationships)

Priority 4: what could I improve long term? (Education plans, strategies for improving standard of life)

Remember, even though recreation is part of priority 2, don't let it stop you from addressing priorities 3 and 4. Also remember that friends are an advantage, they expose you to new ideas and points of view, they can help you in times of stress and trouble, and they can help you relax and have fun. Invest time in friends and then continue to invest most in the ones that invest time in you in return.

They didn't say he will, they said he can. Musk himself has admitted he did just that with a judgement call. Whether he has a contract or not doesn't change that.

There were a few recent news articles that discussed some of the content of the new book about Elon Musk in which he shared that he had realized that a particular request for bandwidth could only be for a Ukrainian boat drone strike against Russian warships, so he turned off the coverage in that area to save lives, which disabled all the drones.

Those warships later fired rockets into Ukraine, killing people.

The takeaway most people got from this is that Elon is using his influence to decide who lives and who dies in a foreign war where the US has a stake, and he chose the opposite of US foreign policy.

If you think he's smart, he is potentially traitorous to US interests, if you think he's dumb, he still got people killed.
