  • This was a great read and shows that in even ancient societies, people understood that there was more than just a binary.

  • I hate LinkedIn. It is just annoying and stressful. It’s a good place to talk to some recruiters but other than that I don’t use it.

  • I prefer handhelds by far. I have a family and it is easier to get everyone in the same room with handhelds than it is with the TV being monopolized.

  • The House and Senate can check the court with the President’s support.

    • Justices can be impeached by a 2/3 majority in the Senate.
    • They can have term limits introduced to stop lifetime appointments.
    • They can have the court size shrank, removing some members.
    • They can have the court size increased, making the individual vote count less.
    • They could introduce a rule to require a supermajority in the court to declare a law unconstitutional.
    • Impose new ethics rules for justices (thereby removing the corrupt justice).

    So if we want to peacefully fix the court we need a Congress that can work with the President to do that.

  • The fact that Thomas is still a justice astounds me. It shows the complacency our country has.

  • Honestly, as someone that grew up in an ultra conservative Christian cult, this makes me want to join the Satanic Temple movement. We need to provide a challenge to this nonsense from a different direction using the same rules.

  • It’s so funny to me when Christians get upset at horned skulls, pentagrams, and such. Who the hell decided these things were anti-christian? I’m fairly certain that no creator god would be scared of horns (it’s on many mammals he supposedly created), geometric patterns, or the like. It’s so stupid and exclusionary.

  • It’s a great game. I enjoyed it back in my gba days.

  • Pay reparations to the descendants and make it right. Then you can go around all day pretending like nothing bad ever happened and we wouldn’t care.

  • Yeah, the rest of the instance is a cesspool as well. Dank memes isn’t the worst of it.

  • I have bipolar disorder and I had taken medication for years. I stopped a couple months ago due to side effects but I know that eventually I will need them again. I am “enjoying” the break though. Good and bad emotions hit harder now but my sex drive is coming back and my emotions towards other are coming back. I was a bit emotionless on the medicine.

    But like I said, I am bipolar 1. I will eventually need the meds again. It’s a medical fact that I will experience these highs and lows due to my brain structure. I have been so manic before I literally saw stars. I have been so depressed that I was ready to off myself. I used to have horrible night episodes as an adult that went away after I was medicated. They haven’t come back yet even though I am not any longer medicated.

    Fortunately, I have familial support who will let me know when I need to medicate again and a strong moral sense that I never deviate from. Medicine is needed for bipolar people. Some of us can function for a time without it but it really is just a matter of time before we need it again. It’s up to the severity of the current cycle.

  • All the most dangerous creative white collar jobs in a service economy. People get years of training to be replaced by AI now.

  • $18 an hour in expensive as hell New York City and they have the nerve to sue. That’s bold.

  • Lmao 🤣 who is this for? It says whatever you want it to say.

  • I see this becoming more of an advanced “auto-complete”. It really shouldn’t be authoring anything, but instead work with software to make suggestions on how to improve human generated work.

    Also, for software development it is a minefield. They train the AIs on code from GitHub and other projects and then suggest it back to users in violation of the license the code was built with.

  • New York Post says the police are investigating it as a possible drug overdose.

    The teen’s lifeless body was sitting in a chair next to a white powdery substance believed to be cocaine, unidentified pills, and drug paraphernalia, the sources said.
