Kindness is Punk

Are you telling me that Donald Trump, the sitting President of the United States of America might have some sympathies to Russia and therefore it’s leader Vladimir Putin?

Stop the presses.

If only there had been signs, like well documented investigations and years of praise.

Jarome Iginla was always my hero.

You should definitely vote but it shouldn’t be the only thing you do.

Yup I’m voting NDP next time, need to rename themselves to the Neoliberal party.

The word of the day is obsequious: obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree.

It sucks too because the old trucks with a low bed were so much better for actualy doing work if you care about your back at all.

Vehicles are getting way too big on average, I mean the F150 is North America’s best selling vehicle (*edit: I have since learned as of 2024 that spot actually belongs to the RAV4) since forever. It’s a problem of misaligned incentives.

There’s an exception carved out for large vehicles in the EPA guidelines that hold them to less stringent emissions standards which incentivizes building larger vehicles 1

Large cars are also incentivized by our crash safety rating system which only takes into account the mortality rate of those inside the car as apposed to average related fatalities. This means it will prioritize safety of those in the vehicle, which has led to our average fatalities increasing. 2

As an unintended side effect this also damages roads much faster because vehicle weight per axle determines the magnitude of the damage a vehicle does to the road. 3 anecdotally this makes me concerned for the additional weight that electric cars add.

Also as vehicles increase in weight the amount of microplastics put into the air as a by product of tire wear increase. 4

As cars increase in size (and therefore weight) the downsides are exponential.

In this economy!?

I’m Canadian, where the equivalent to the Republican party is called the Conservative Party of Canada under the guise that they are fiscally conservative.

This is, of course, not the case but it’s the name they chose. It does lead to some confusion much like the National Socialist German Workers’ Party did.

I’m okay with not optimizing people out of existence, he also probably won’t hallucinate, unless it’s microdose Mondays.

My condolences, It’s hard to see it happen to the ones you love

Sorry this was not what my original comment was supposed to imply.

I intended for it to say that there must be a framework in which everyone is treated as a citizen until proven otherwise.

It was an indictment of the current administration not following the law.

Not that People who aren’t citizens don’t deserve rights but I understand why it’s a contentious issue given the current administration.

All my uncles are conservative, it’s a living hell.

Where else am I supposed to do it? It’s the only place that has great acoustics for my Latin chanting.

For your original point, it sounds to me like we agree, then?

Is Italy still dealing with its own fascist?

I mean he can fane that he doesn’t understand but he must. No matter how technically impressive the technology is, it’s only as good as it’s application.

Most people are familiar with the concept of an LLM. Most progress has been iterative.

I would argue it’s become much blurrier in execution and they are no longer garenteed their day in court. Citizen or person. You can’t prove someone isn’t a citizen without a hearing.

I mean honestly I’m still happier with that service than I would be with an actual AI. I mean sure he lied but he’s also not using AI so.

Almost like there needs to be clear boundaries for what constitutes a citizen and all people should be treated as a citizen until proven otherwise.

This administration’s transgressions on the rule of law should never be forgotten.
