It's a good question, TBD. Don't read headlines and form opinions. Layoffs always make headlines, meanwhile unemployment is at historic lows. Historic lows, however doesn't count that many of the jobs that are available are awful and even working then full time will keep you in poverty.

Intel is Oregon's largest private employer at about 20k. 2500 jobs concentrated almost all in a few Portland suburbs will hurt the local economy. That said there are tons of other areas of insane grifting growth, AI, etc.

You might be right; they'll be hooked up to the Matrix, eyes glowing

Gta2 was the best

No...and our recently anointed head of the CDC, RFK, has already reduced and restricted who is advised to receive even the flu and COVID annuals.

Violent crime about to explode as abortion now illegal in many places--the knock-on effects of it pretty well isolated as the only reasonable explanation to the sudden drop in violent crime in the mid 90s that has continued through today and was a central thesis in Freakonomics.

With abortion now illegal, hushed up, or hidden in many states, the crime and its vicious cycle will return. Bet your money, when those who would have otherwise been aborted come of crime age in ~15 years, full Judge Dredd world will be on in the US. Teen pregnancy, from the 2nd generation of otherwise aborted kids, will of course explode to the delight of evangelicals everywhere.

Just started a book today I got recommended here called "on oil" about the ties and parallels of oil and evangelicalism to Alberta's oil boom starting in the 60s.

Just keep rubbing their nose in it. A few will finally tire of the smell of shit.

His team trained a private LLM for his social media and fired the shit throwing monkeys they were using. Imagine the monkeys will be back shortly after this...

If only they'd included a definition for the ignorant right in the same article:

"Plague occurs in three forms, bubonic, septicemic and pneumonic, depending on whether the infection hits the lymph nodes, bloodstream or lungs. Most US cases are bubonic, typically spread via flea bites from infected rodents."

So since I can only assume he'll pardon himself if he ever leaves office, why is he worried?

"expression analysis" - 2025 phrenology

This goes right up there with stock chart technical analysis. "It's definitely this. Though it can also be this. Or that. And it depends on the person. And the context. And...

It's so messy/noisy with variables, stuff like this just gives people false confidence that they know who/what someone is or what something represents. Psuedoscience

Read title as "homicide robot community". I'd say that's reasonable as an American at this point.

I love a good article, but sometimes the visualization is the easiest way to quickly show something to make a point for someone otherwise unfamiliar. I'm actually going to include this in an index for a presentation I'm going to do at my local city transportation and safety committee to show that the problem isn't unique and there are choices to be made. If I go to try to make a change and provide a bunch of teams of paper, that makes a different impact.

There's a reason propagandists generally use photos video(since film has existed): it can multiply the impact and in some cases make an impact and reach people who would ignore written content.

Both companies are owned by a large Japanese conglomerate. They got lucky with indeed, and have used little of its unbelievable market share to solidify it's position and improve the product. Indeed, properly managed, would print money and go parabolic as a stock. Instead it's just sat there because both sites suck and exist on inertia.

I was on the fence about attending a world cup (it would be my first) when the sleaze has been trying to say it's "his" for the last year. Since FIFA has been corrupt forever it probably means I won't be able to enjoy it as much because I'll be considering what I'd be endorsing. It's disappointing, I've wanted to go to one since I was a kid but considering there will probably be ICE raids in the concourse or psychopaths trying to drive trucks into the crowd to kill the [insert group] I'll have to forgo it.

I'm surprised I have heard anything about boycott here--therr was a ton of push for that during Qatar build up around human rights, and nothing for this? I'd hope the US gets boycotted by whole nations ala East German/Russian Olympics.

What a life, lived.

Thanks for this link. So amazing to get to see real convo not from corporate media.
