Yup, “beardos” is part of him no longer letting people grow facial hair if shaving causes health issues, skewed heavily towards black soldiers

You shouldn’t use Claude for anything. Not because “computer bad”, because Anthropic the company is bad and Claude is powered by illegal gas generators in Memphis. I don’t care if it helps you code or helps you complete tasks, you are bad if you pay that company

There are already more songs and albums than any person could listen to in lifetime. New great ones are being created every day. If you can't find ones you Iike — and instead want a computer to create beeps and boops for your ears — you're beyond help and never liked music in the first place.

I have loved the album Slip by Quicksand since I bought it from Columbia House in 1993. They released 1 more album in 1995 and then broke up for 20+ years. Various reunion shows have happened since then, and I always missed for one reason or another. Last night I saw them play it for like 75 people

Every day someone somewhere is making new music with guitars, drums, and singing, and that well is never going to be tapped. That's what I like and I don't need anything else

She asked if raw milk would be good for her toddler, and the group’s members quickly chimed in. "I had to put my baby on raw goats milk…Healed her right up," wrote one mother, recommending a nearby farm. Little did Emily know, the farm, called Moonlight Ridge, was unlicensed and unregulated.
Screenshot of Facebook comments on Chris's post. Emily Marris asks: "Would this be a good milk for baby Brookie? She's 1 year now and the store bought milk left her very constipated." A user whose name is blurred out responds: "I had to put my baby on raw goats milk. Healed her right up. With the guidance of my midwives. Goats milk is easier digested than cow. Do a google search. It saved my baby. I still drink it myself. Well it's all I drink."

"You know what doctors you want to see" is he proposing individualized bespoke networks? There is more variety in ACA plans than cell phones. What the ACA did was get rid of some sketchy MVNO provider in a mall kiosk selling too good to be true plans that don't work for $15/month

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

that said, while I think having a large following means you are responsible for where you point the Eye of Sauron, it does not mean that people with a small following should be allowed to say whatever out of pocket shit they want to you and then play "I'm just a little birthday boy" if you respond

Not only electing him, doing it a second time after 4 years, and with the undercurrent since 2008 that the rich and powerful will never face consequences no matter how bad they fuck things up. It's only accelerated, we've given them even more power. We all feel something breaking
