Depends on the curvature of the spoon as to the severity of this issue. We need to further inspect

Does it matter?

We spent a week in Istanbul about 15 years ago and had an amazing time. We made sure to learn some basic Turkish, but probably 75% of people we interacted with spoke English. It’s such an amazing city with decent public transit, great hospitality culture, and unparalleled history

The famines, which outside of World War II when the Nazis deliberately attacked their farms, and outside of the 1930s, which had famine induced by weather disaster and magnified by privledged capitalist farmers called “kulaks” destroying their livestock and grain to prevent collectivization?

You’re really looking at this through red-tinted glasses. It’s ok to admit that there were also serious missteps by Stalin that magnified the extent of this famine, and that it was intentionally made worse for some ethnic minorities.

Are you seriously thinking this is how revolution in the US would go?

This is a good point, but the point still stands that not everyone in science is neurodivergent. There are plenty neurotypical people currently doing similar work to this because they developed an interest and an area of expertise.

EO Wilson didn’t have autism, and dude wrote a massive book IDing every known ant genus based on morphology. Some people just go hard

Some people aren’t mincing their words about it either, calling the deals “circular financing” or even “vendor financing” - where a company invests in or lends to its own customers so they can continue making purchases.

“Yes, the investment loans are unprecedented,” Mr Altman told me on Monday.

But, he added, “it’s also unprecedented for companies to be growing revenue this fast.”

OpenAI’s revenue is growing quickly, but it has never turned a profit.

Who hurt you

It says VOA at the bottom. Volunteers of America manages a ton of affordable and voucher-based properties around the country. Some of the people I’ve helped move into units with them have been on the streets for years and have zero living skills. A class like this could genuinely help someone stay housed who might otherwise lose their housing voucher and be back on the street

While this may be something that has happened, this definitely is not something “the homeless do” in the US

Life is incredibly resilient, a ton of life is going to survive and adapt just fine. You think marginally increased global temperatures are worse than the Chicxulub impact? It’s crazy that in the face of environmental catastrophe people can still find ways to irrationally catastrophize

“The extinction of all life in Earth” is not a reasonable conclusion to draw from this

It’s pretty big leap from the Earth absorbing slightly more energy from the sun to “the extinction of all life on Earth.”

I don’t know, they took some of the most conservative parts of the state to the north and northeast, plus the panhandle. Maybe we’ve got a chance now.

I’m just glad they took Oklahoma

That’s actually not clear at all. How did you draw this conclusion from what’s written here? It cites decreased pollution across the northern hemisphere as one of the drivers of this, for example, and how is that horrifying?

Therapists should never impose their own beliefs on a client. This should be grounds for a disciplinary hearing before their licensing board and potential loss of licensure.

What if it takes a boat?

Like a thumb

Is there a way to make votes private in the fediverse? Seems tricky given the voting data needs to be visible to every federated server

This is pretty amazing. There’s so much we don’t know
