Worth noting some things: (1) the loosened bestiality reg came along with loosened regs barring people who had previously committed other crimes, including non-sex crimes like theft from an employer; (2) other sources have said the new reg does not distinguish abuse victims from willing perps.

This touches indirectly on something I’ve noticed, which is that ride share drivers (considered broadly—taxi drivers, Uber/Lyft, I’d presume shuttle but I haven’t used them as much) are in my experience weirdly, casually right wing.

To the extent this is honest fear of extinction, we’re being invited to entreat a mass psychosis among what are essentially economic elites, a classically untrustworthy class for exactly that type of issue. They will absolutely cause a recession, but not extinction.

It was reported a while ago that Natalie is responsible for creating his catalogue of “socials” that he chooses from, and after her personal letters to him were released showing the same weird capitalization, we need more reporting on how/why someone so unwell is allowed to ventriloquize thru POTUS.

The irony is the British press exhibits exactly the same “social contagion” behavior which they’re lamenting here. This is, in fact, Stock’s prior thesis, transmitted along that social network with no new substance but blazing self-assurance.

Piker is available for interviewing at any time, where not only was bin Laden in hiding during a war campaign, but it was very likely the US government would throw any journalist who interviewed bin Laden into a cement pit and tortured them until they revealed where he was. Hell of a barrier.

It goes without saying, albeit a Yale professor in medicine may not walk among the poors enough to know this, but burger flippers are generally not unionized. And when food service workers try to unionize they get, uh, fucking crushed by corporate machinery (Starbucks anyone?)

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

Remember: Cofnas was previously booted from an institution as well, the same one he attacked via Arday, and the reason you know Signal extends selective sympathy WRT secondary retaliation—apparently, indeed, only based on HIS views of their scholarship, such as it is—is because he didn’t for Arday.

Interestingly the bivariate regression (I’m not sure I agree with such a simple model, but it’s what they presented) shows family income is strongly correlated with ever-AI use, suggesting AI is adopted more by middle class and wealthy students and, resultingly, it hurts them more on exams.

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.

There are also other technical details like the FCS insertion being out of phase, which would just be a really weird thing for a researcher to do manually as it requires reimagining several amino acid substitutions instead of just inserting a single base triplet.

A somewhat more modern analogy would be to ask a defender of slavers as mere participants in a contemporary morally permissive paradigm whether illiterate slaves—far outnumbering the slavers—might’ve had a different opinion.
