  • We have a lot more than five senses...

    Close your eyes and clap your hands, now how did you just do that?

    Proprioception is a sense of where our body parts are in relation to each other, and how we can walk without staring at our feet the whole time.

    What you're looking for is a "gut feeling" which is often your subconscious, but your gut has a shitton of neural cells too. And can function like a "minibrain".

    https://www.science.org/content/article/your-gut-directly-connected-your-brain-newly-discovered-neuron-circuit

    Most likely it's an actual "proto-brain" hold over from before organisms even had heads.

    But anyways, most likely it's coming from your subconscious, there are things it puts together and recognizes, and especially if danger is around then it's just gonna flash a warning light and not walk your conscious mind thru the logic that tells you why there's a warning light. Because it's better to respond fast and later work out why the warning light was flashing.

    So, an example would be before I learned about the correlations between prenatal testosterone, in group bonding, and facial width; it was a joke among a specific friend group that "don't trust guys with skinny faces".

    Not that low prenatal testorone makes someone untrustworthy, just that in situations where you need to 100% count on people to have your back, the people most likely to not are the ones that are not biologically wired to blindly defend what they recognize as "us", their in group.

    But this is a thing on a wider social scale, guys with "rat face" are often cast as villains and betrayers in media, because on some level even tho we consciously don't recognize why, we all just instantly distrust to some extent. Not from conscious logic, but individual lifetimes of experience and us just automatically picking up the pattern.

    Prenatal androgen exposure, approximated via 2D:4D, was associated with prosocial behavior. In contrast to previous research in older children, higher exposure was related to stronger prosocial tendencies, which corresponds to earlier findings on fairness in adults. Our findings point towards a potential role of sex steroids in the early development of children's social behavior, but they have to be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size of the current study. Nevertheless, they underscore the importance of integrating biological and psychological perspectives, while also highlighting the significance of studying the development of prosocial behavior within peer groups.

  • It's not just this specific issue:

    After Newsom failed to sign the bill in October, he said, “Last year, I vetoed a substantially similar bill, stating that it would limit the ability of health plans to engage in practices that have been shown to ensure appropriate care while limiting unnecessary costs. That is still the case with this bill – despite my call for a more tailored solution. This bill’s expansive coverage mandate, in conjunction with a prohibition on UM, is too far-reaching.”

    Newsome is a neoliberal, and he'll always put profits over people.

    Never forget as soon as trump took office again, Newsom had Charlie Kirk and Alex Jones on his podcast sucking up to them and saying Dems need to be more like MAGA.

    He didn't pivot back to anti-maga until maga refused to let him join.

    Newsom isn't fit to be president, but he's not fit to hold any other political office either. We can't afford to waste time with these shit birds

  • Maybe sprinkling 1337 into our online texts would make them less useful to AI training

    No, it wouldn't.

    I think search engines didn’t work with it;

    No, they worked fine. It doesn't take much for a computer program (especially search engines and chatbots) to recognize two words spelled differently have similar meanings.

    Go misspell anything into a search engine, whichever you use, and notice how it suggests a correct spelling.

    So if a few people try this, it's not enough to have an effect. If enough people to have an effect do it, then the program quickly learns leetspeak.

    But that doesn't stop people from constantly having this idea

  • does it not then have the potential to water down enough districts to make them swing districts,

    That's how gerrymandering always works....

    You want to get every district to where you'd barely win, and jam all the extra people who would vote against you into as few districts as possible that they will definitely win.

    The obvious danger is if you gerrymander too much, and a wave shows up, you could potentially lose everything because you no longer have any "safe" districts.

    I've been saying since the beginning that we're better off letting them do all this redistricting ASAP, that way we can start the groundwork to win enough of those close districts to take the whole state government

  • Probably like Disney/Hulu

    They'll try a bundle deal to see if people pay for it, then if not slowly bleed shows from one service to another.

    Maybe eventually combine them but they'll try to keep paying for both as long as possible

  • The term “blood libel”, I don’t even know what it mean, to be honest,

    At least you kind of asked what it meant...

    Would have been faster to look it up tho:

    Blood libels often claim that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos, an unleavened flatbread which is eaten during Passover. Earlier versions of the blood libel accused Jews of ritually re-enacting the crucifixion.[10] The accusations often assert that the blood of Christian children is especially coveted, and historically, blood libel claims have been made in order to account for the otherwise unexplained deaths of children. In some cases, the alleged victims of human sacrifice have become venerated as Christian martyrs. Many of these – most prominently William of Norwich (1144), Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (1255), and Simon of Trent (1475) – became objects of local cults and veneration; the cult of Hugh of Lincoln gained the support of Henry III and his son Edward I, giving it official credibility and helping it to be particularly well remembered. Although he was never canonized, the veneration of Simon was added to the General Roman Calendar. One child who was allegedly murdered by Jews, Gabriel of Białystok, was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_libel

    It's just wild to me that so many people would spend more time typing a comment admitting they were ignorant of something, than it takes to just search it online so they could stop being ignorant.

    And it's not just you, it's happening more and more.

    So since I provided a source for what blood libel actual is, can you share why you made that comment instead of just typing "blood libel" into a search engine?

  • I don’t think it was overestimating, more just not realizing that the term “blood libel” isn’t a widely recognized antisemitic concept

    Yes...

    I overestimated people by thinking if I explained what "blood libel" is, I didnt have to literally say "blood libel is___"

    They’re implying the original tweet means threat to kids isn’t from the genocide, and instead it’s the bigoted (and false) stereotype that there are secret Jewish rituals that kill children as blood sacrifices.

    When I said "bigoted (and false) stereotype..." You could substitute that for "blood libel". I just pre-emptively explained it not everyone knew what it was.

    And rather than ask questions, a bunch of confused people furrowed their brow and down voted.

    But you asked questions, so now you know:

    Blood libels often claim that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos, an unleavened flatbread which is eaten during Passover. Earlier versions of the blood libel accused Jews of ritually re-enacting the crucifixion.[10] The accusations often assert that the blood of Christian children is especially coveted, and historically, blood libel claims have been made in order to account for the otherwise unexplained deaths of children.

  • If it pops it takes the whole stock market with it and no one is retiring, probably ever again. Same with home ownership, it will exacerbate every problem we're currently facing.

    But if it actually works...

    Corporations will fire virtually all their employees, what few jobs remain will see their wages crumble because there's so much compeyfor such few jobs. Just instead of all of us being fucked, only 99.9999999999% of us will be fucked and a very few people will have successfully hoarded the wealth of an entire planet.

    What else are we going to do? Stop spending hundreds of billions a year on a pipedream?

    Then what? Spend it on education, housing, Medicare, and a functional society where everyone fundamentally has enough to lose that crime basically elimates itself?

    Ironically enough it all comes down to the message from that Movie where Ferris Beuller played an AI at video games:

    A STRANGE GAME. THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY

  • but you seem to believe there is something else going on?

    ...

    Whoever Rachel is, she was clearly referencing Gaza and the ongoing genocide.

    Eve then (likely intentionally) misunderstood and acted like Rachel was talking about Jewish blood libel. Which is a bigoted belief going back millenia that part of traditional Jewish religious rituals include child sacrifice.

    Evan then "dared her to explain why that would be antisemitic".

    My point is that is not as effective as clarifying what was going on and why it's not...

    But I can admit when I'm wrong, clearly I was overestimating people.

  • It doesn't need RAM...

    But the people who make RAM, are switching to what AI wants instead.

    Crucial was one of the biggest names in RAM for decades... They just closed down so the parent company can make AI memory instead. Then of course it uses the same resources too.

  • lol I’m Jewish buddy

    ...

    And Jewish people support trump too, why couldn't a self-proffessed Jewish person legitimately believe Nazi propaganda?

    You know that was literally going on during the actual Holocaust too, right? Why wouldn't it be possible in 2025 when multiple high profile people fit that description?

    Especially after you just did it in two comments in a row?

    Israelis are openly in public killing children as blood sacrifices

    killing children with glee with the specific intent to appease god and maintain their divine grant to the land of Israel

    That's straight up Nazi shit you're repeating, and whatever religion you are doesn't change that shit.

  • No, because that's not a blood sacrifice, and you're still conflating Judaism with Israel, which is what Netenyahu and the woman from Twitter want to happen...

    It's pretty important, because if you don't understand it fascist movements will keep abusing your ignorance to help their own propaganda, even tho you clearly disagree with it....

    There's also the huge risk of actual nazis who are intentionally doing what you're doing and saying they're commiting blood libel.

    So now instead of talking about Israel committing genocide, nobody knows if your an actual Nazi or just spreading Nazi propaganda because you don't know what the fuck is going on.

    Like, does any of this make even a little sense?

  • You're acting like that's a common scenario...

    There's a few small slices of area in a minority of states where you might be legally allowed to pick, but that is not a guarantee there's more than one option.

    To my knowledge most of them are artificial monopolies anyways.

    Like, in Perfectville your choice between any available provider is legally protected. However company A and company B made a handshake deal to draw a line down the area and not provide service on one side of the line.

    https://competitiveenergy.org/consumer-tools/state-by-state-links/

    Very few of those green states are for electricity

    And if you just meant:

    Non profit = good

    Then I'm going to have to explain an entirely different thing...

    And I'm not optimistic about our chances to be honest

  • That’s an insane conclusion to draw!

    The people who assumed the person who mentioned blood libel... Was talking about blood libel...

    Used such a leap in logic that you can't even imagine how someone could make it?

    Jesus...

  • Instead, I thought about the ongoing genocide in Gaza and countless children who have been killed.

    Which is almost definitely what they were talking about.

    Asking someone to explain what they mean is totally valid

    And no where near as effective or clear as explaining the situation... Because someone posting in bad faith would let it hang, but some legitimate posters might just not see it till much later, or even at all considering blocks.

    Which brings up we don't know if OPs screenshot was taken immediately after the last reply before they immediately lept to:

    they would never explain how. the ambiguity is the point. disgusting hypocrisy

    Which makes it sound like they specifically did not understand what was happening.

    But I get the feeling this is one of those complicated things no one actually thinks about and just goes off feelings rather than logic. So even if they're right, they still don't understand why they're right.

  • What?

    They're implying the original tweet means threat to kids isn't from the genocide, and instead it's the bigoted (and false) stereotype that there are secret Jewish rituals that kill children as blood sacrifices.

    It's almost certainly an intentional misunderstanding, but if anyone seriously can't parse that out without someone explaining it, they really need to work on their critical thinking skills.

  • Bullshit.

    You really think companies in America with monoplies would lower prices just because their costs went down?

    I wish I lived in an America like that...

  • Playing Russian roulette with 2 bullets is safer than playing with five...

    But if someone called 2 bullet Russian roulette safe, most people could see how stupid that was.

  • "safely"....

    You might not break any bones, but spinal/brain damage is almost guaranteed from an ejection. To the point pilots still die because they're scared to eject and end up running out of time.

    It's literally a rocket that shoots you straight up, then after you start falling the chute gives another jolt.

    20-30% of the time it fractures the pilots spine.
