Don’t all these fuckers have bunkers in New Zealand? Isn’t that island gonna be underwater if all the glaciers melt?

Ngl, I have completely stopped doing this since starting anti-anxiety meds. Maybe they ARE working…

You’re not wrong. But for some reason any MAGA I talk to gets more riled up about being called that than a loser, a fascist, a Nazi, or anything else.

Maybe it’s petty of me, but I’m also pretty done with them calling me a sand n-word for having slightly tanned skin in the summer.

to put it in terms trump would understand, completely retarded

Honestly, I’d completely phased this word out of my vocabulary, but describing MAGA admins are the one time I will use it. It’s the only thing that accurately describes them. Elon wanted to bring it back so badly, why not use it to tell him what friendless retard he actually is.

Animal testing typically involves injecting chemicals or rubbing directly into purpose-made abrasions or the eyes of animals

Man…why are we like this…

Animal testing doesn’t even guarantee that it’ll react the same way in/on humans. We have so many other options and yet we continue cruel practices because tradition. Ugh.

…how is this not considered spam? (The account, not you OP)

Bro said “consensually”

I wonder if this related to the uptick of the focus on cultural/artistic “taste” I’ve been noticing in the tech sphere (including in this very Wired article).

For context: I had an interview with a tech company that’s a secondary player in the AI sphere, and they asked me about Pierre Bourdieu and my “Pinterest aesthetic preferences” of all things. Very wtf moment.

It’s so blatant too, for anyone with half a brain. We’re part of 5 Eyes, there’s like 97 data centres being built or already in the late stages of approval here, and all of our internet traffic is controlled by 3 mega ISPs in moustache and glasses. We’re already being tracked pretty thoroughly. Conservatives or Liberals, it doesn’t matter when it comes to selling Canadians off to foreign corporate entities.

I mean, it’s clearly rage/engagement bait. Ever since Twitter added viewcounts in 2022/23 it’s all bullshit “hottakes” like this, and people fall for it every time.

How did we forget ye olde adage of “do not feed the trolls” within one generation?

There are probably many more minds that could hack being a good doctor, but are smart enough to go into a field where the work-life balance hasn’t been a terrible trope since 1900.

This was me. Studied for and did well on the required exams, interviewed at a couple of schools, and in between my interviews and acceptance letter I talked to a couple of people in residency at my university. The descriptions of their work-life balance was so atrocious, and the altruism of the profession so stomped out of their mentality that I decided I could probably help people in other ways.

As I watched a couple of my close friends battle depression all through medical school and residency with very little institutional or mentor support, I decided I absolutely made the right choice. I really respect you for staying within the system and becoming an RN, because you guys also have it just as rough, along with the added disrespect of “But you’re not a DOCTOR.”

I don’t know why medicine is so gatekeepy in it’s processes. Being strict in education and procedures I understand. But the heirarchy, egoism, and political games to grind down all these young trainees is quite archaic.

How is this better???

Thanks!

Guess I’m gonna keep on my plan of keeping an eye on the used market and hoping for honest gamers who don’t mark up their 2nd hand GPUs

This is really helpful for my CS/mathamatics courses actually, but if you think my English prof is gonna be able to parse a git repository… :/

It’s on Meta’s chatboard, not anywhere public. I saw people on Blind discussing it, if you have access there.

Idk how people think China is communist when they have for-profit hospitals, that’s like one of the biggest no-nos in communism lol.

Even the public hospitals are incentivized towards profit optimizing through over-prescription of medication (or useless stuff like homeopathy) in my experience. But last time I went through Chinese healthcare was all the way back in 2017, so things may have improved now (but I doubt it.)

Isn’t Nvidia only bumping up the price of the 5090s? Or is there an update to that?

If anyone has any suggestions for an alternative to Google Docs for my university essays that can track my writing literally word for word, I would be forever grateful. Getting really tired of having professors flag me for AI use just because I can string sentences together with an em-dash, and also getting tired of feeding all my essays to Gemini.

Praying for our cars to survive at least another 15 years, bud 🙏
