The subset of human behavior includes predation. It’s in our DNA, whether it is in you or not. It’s this fact we can’t forget or become naive about.

I would love to see some scientific data or analysis of this. Until then, it’s an internet-described phenomenon and though it appears to make sense, can only be taken so seriously.

Sure, as long as it’s understood to be a subset of the survivorship bias.

Do you think she’s the only wealthy person to go after a photographer for taking photos of her house? Or are they usually successful when they do?

I’m not a fan of her using the Streisand Effect to explain this. The wealthy suppress big stories all the time - like payments made to sex workers for instance. The Streisand Effect is really just survivorship bias illuminating the stories they try but fail to suppress.

I just don’t understand how a lawyer named “Innocent” could be so brazen in his AI usage…

Maybe you should read more than the headlines. There’s some pretty good evidentiary detail in this one.

But search engines try to steer you away instead of help you find them.

Believe it or not, not everyone named Bubba is conservative.

^And you have to wonder how many are actual Progressives and how many are just here to stir things up.

Someone who becomes suicidal because you won’t listen to them rant is addicted to power and control. You’d ultimately be doing them a favor helping them wean themselves off it. You can’t be responsible for someone’s actions in this state. It’s a diametric opposite to, say, someone who is depressed/suicidal because they cannot afford food. They do not need you to listen to them. Tell them to fuck off.

That’s essentially what they are already doing. If it seems like it should be easier to smuggle large amounts of prescription medicine from Canadian pharmacies, you’ve made an error in your assumptions. But the basic building blocks of street drugs are the same as those of prescriptions. Opioids make up the most powerful pain killers. Fentanyl is an opioid that is common because it is easy to make and its high potency allows it to be cut with fillers and stretched further, increasing profit. Somewhere along the line, somebody experimented with mixing fillers into their grandmother’s pain medicine and it was a big fucking success. The feds chase them to Mexico when business booms, cartels take notice, kill them and sell their recipe instead of chronic (or was it kronic?) cannabis, which is no longer as profitable. The cycle repeats often, everywhere in the world, depending on what’s locally available.

Made for sits. Made of warm.

Putin just keeps grabbing us by the Trump.

There’s no evidence he died any other way. Just because we all believe you-know-who would do it doesn’t mean he did. If you know it was homicide, do you also buy the National Enquirer for the latest news about aliens?

May your misspell prophecy his future.

Would you intentionally piss off Putin/Pinochet/Capone/that one German guy? And for anyone close enough to have access, fear (and billionaire money) reaches across international borders.
