US Olympic and other teams will bring their own AC units to Paris, undercutting environmental plan
  • US Olympics is probably being overly cautious ever since Taliyah Brooks collapsed from exhaustion when they refused to delay a US Olympic trials a couple years back due to extreme heat.

    Taliyah was on pace to make it to the Olympics until that happened.

  • I am scared to flirt with girls.
  • You meant more. People are reading the words you wrote. In another comment you wrote "it's better to just steer clear."

    That's not helpful for OP at all. That's just the mgtow mantra.

  • Child Advocates Back Surgeon General's Call for Tobacco-Like Warnings on Social Media
  • Warnings probably work better on products you're putting in your body. If you have blackened lungs on the cigarette packaging I can't imagine choosing to smoke.

  • US supreme court sides with Starbucks in union case over fired employees
  • This is... not true. Orrin Hatch said if Obama nominated someone like Merrick Garland, the Republican Senate would approve it. Obama nominated him, then the Republican Senate said "psych."

    The checks and balances were broken by the Republican Senate because they decided "advice and consent" could be abused to mean "wait until there's a Republican president."

    The public decided the solution to this was selecting a Republican president and keeping a Republican Senate. It's a perfect plan for Republicans, because people on the left just blame Democrats so that the same pattern can happen again next time.

  • Researchers claim GPT-4 passed the Turing test
  • Humans are as smart as they ever were. Tech is getting better. I know someone who was tricked by those deepfake Kelly Clarkson weight loss gummy ads. It looks super fake to me, but it's good enough to trick some people.
