  • I'm not expecting his health to carry him all the way to January 20, 2029 anyway, but it would suck if he ran in 2028 just to give whatever VP he thinks is cool by then a free key to the white house

  • Machine Learning is especially useful for many different kinds of research as an advanced mode of statistical analysis.

    Text and image generation is not especially useful in any field other than to cut corners on paying human artists and writers and programmers to do the job properly.

  • The flu is a familiar disease, and young people with strong immune systems rarely die from it or experience long-term health consequences from having had it. So it's not scary to most people, because they've never lived through a flu outbreak as bas as the spanish flu, and because they don't know anyone for whom getting the flu would be a death sentence.

    But Covid was a worse pandemic because when it infects, it can be completely benign or completely suffocating, and there's very little way of knowing which will happen to you. And if you do get it, there's a much higher chance it leaves serious scars that you'll carry for the rest of your life.

    People need to treat bad things as bad and be willing to set aside familiarity and comfort for the safety and well-being of others. Instead they downplay how bad something they don't understand is going to be, because they want others to believe the same and not change their behavior, because their own comfort is more important than protecting the people who will be hurt the most

  • Bad take. You don't shame people for being unable to make sounds that aren't in their native language. If someone spoke Mandarin all their life and learned English, but had to approximate the "L" sound with "R", you wouldn't have this reaction claiming that allowing that approximation is turning everything into Mandarin

  • If America hadn't responded to Chernobyl with fear of atomic power and instead adopted a "this is why communism will fail, look how much better we can do it" attitude, the climate crisis would be a non-issue right now

  • Unless there's nuclear war, there's no such thing as the point of no return. Just a further slide into more egregious civil rights violations. Eventually it will get better, hopefully through democratic means and not violent ones.

  • This move actually makes zero fucking sense. Having people in our country who are willing to work less money than the average citizen labor costs are low. That basically means more money for him and his oligarch buddies.

    He's already won the election. He doesn't have to keep posturing like this. And he's not going to be elected again, so either he (hopefully) has no third term, or he'll prevent the 2028 elections from being free and fair.

    My prediction is that nothing will actually come of this and he's saying this to keep his approval rating high.

    Either that or he's even more racist than he is greedy and self-centered
