Hoezo "al"? 🤔 Schippers heeft de gezondheidszorg vakkundig gesloopt in weerwil van alle waarschuwingen over de "uitverdien aspecten". Alle vvd minfins dreven op stijgend tij. Voorhoeven, defensie? Ze vluchtten om de verantwoordelijkheid voor de consequenties van de crisis van 2008 te ontlopen. Etc.

Thank you for pointing it out. I'll pay better attention to what mutes for me.

Alle VVD projecten sneuvelen uiteindelijk (terecht) want liberalisering zonder toezicht blijkt niet te werken omdat er altijd kwaadwillenden en incompetenten zullen zijn. Het is alsof je het kon voorspellen.

On one hand, you're right. On the other, what niches will even be left for us genuinely neuro diverse types, if any? Is "being able to accurately handle and act upon other human's emotions" going to be the only difference between "replaceable by LLM" and not?

This is the biggest issue with "AI": it doesn't propagate the best solution, it propagates the most used solution/message/etc. in its inputs/trainingsdata. There is still no good way to prefer quality which is why it's so different from "raising" a model.

Some of those style symbols of AI make me able to discern real people. I guess the output of AI is not just polluting the inputs of AI anymore. 😬

I've gone over a lot of posts and am not seeing it. Where's the Maga link? Where's the synthetic behavior?

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

And the answer is no. Lest we get into yet another useless, lengthy discussion that will keep people occupied instead of finally doing something meaningful to turn the tide.

Instead, just tell Belgium that all EU functions in Brussels will be relocated to Luxembourg and Strasbourg if they don't become more "pro-European"?

Blijft bijzonder dat u mensen die wanhopig zijn omdat hun (klein)kinderen geen leefbare wereld meer overhouden over 1 kam scheert met boeren die "wanhopig" zijn omdat ze ander werk moeten zoeken. Einde discussie, ook.

Boeren kunnen hun brood ook anders verdienen. Als Nederland straks grotendeels onder water staat door klimaatverandering kunnen ze hier toch niet meer boeren dus het lijkt me duidelijk wat de echte drijfveer is: pegels/kortzichtig eigenbelang, niet de traditie, kinderen of wat ze verder nog blaten.

Als je die twee als gelijkwaardig ziet heb je wat mij betreft een onbalans is je morele denkbeelden die je eigen overleving en die van je naasten bedreigt.

Gaby @gs2u.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Burgerlijke ongehoorzaamheid is geen anarchie. Het fundamentele verschil hier is dat de ene kant gaat over een existentiële dreiging tegen het leven, de andere een dreiging tegen het mogen uitvoeren van je beroep zoals jou dat uitkomt. Boeren maken daar een "existentiële dreiging" tegen hen van.

Ik ook niet. Als mensheid vergaat (de planeet kan wel wat hebben) dan mag je wat mij betreft een snelweg blokkeren, zeker als je het doet zoals XR. Je verdienmodel met dodelijke acties "verdedigen" vind ik onaanvaardbaar. Maar geld regeert, niet de leefbaarheid en dat zie je overal terug.

Ach, een tractor hier of daar, daar heeft niemand last van, toch? Het verschil is: klimaatactivisten willen mensen laten zien dat de wereld vergaat. Boeren (en andere bedrijven) klagen dat hun verdienmodel onhoudbaar is als ze voor de schade moeten opdraaien die ze veroorzaken. They're not the same.

It doesn't matter. The only reason he does this is to provoke NATO into something he can use to justify conscription with. If NATO just grins and bears it, it doesn't matter. As soon as Russia goes fully kinetic, in the Baltics for instance, it'll be soon enough to respond viciously to scare them of

In other words, very specifically a demographic that will be completely inconsequential. Honestly, you only have to make them not want to/dare to vote, not change them into becoming a voter for Democrats.

Go after the (br)oligarchy & make the media contractually liable for lying under the guise of presenting news/facts plus shield it from the influence of money. Get healthcare fixed and insurers and big money out. Minimum wages. I could literally go on for a few posts and just scratch the surface.

Gaby @gs2u.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Why stop there? Get rid of the electoral college. Make D.C. and Puerto Rico states. Make a president and cabinet explicitly directly criminally liable and ineligible for office in at the very least cases of treason, corruption or sedition. Make lying in office for self protection illegal, etc.

Thank's again for all you've done over the years, shining light while others stay in the shadows. Bringing facts and insights to a wider audience when others just guess and opine. I feel sad that your growing popularity also made you a bigger target and wish something could be done about toxicity.

I will not ask you to do something you don't want to do. I hope you continue but will understand if the constant trolling and negativity gets to be too much. This campaign of badgering you may very well be "synthetic" but in the end your (mental) wellbeing is much more important.

Not within the parameters of what humans as a species could do if we could filter out sociopaths from leading positions. The investment would be the willingness to pursue a true meritocracy with all that entails and damn the consequences/costs.

Not to mention all the femicides and all the infanticide committed out of spite by "men" that can't cope with being rightfully shown the door, just because if they can't have"l the kids, no one will. Anyone, but especially men, condemning a woman in circumstances they can't begin to fathom, is trash

I'm convinced that behind every "right wing" European politician/party there's non-EU influence and money propping them up and making them as successful as they seem to have become. It must be fought or there's zero chance of even just mitigating climate change before it kills most of us.

After witnessing psychosis first hand, I believe mental state should be taken into consideration. Whether that is sufficient grounds for acquittal or reduced sentencing or an order to commit them to a psychiatric facility should be left to the legal system, not (social) media.

Just one 12 hour shift in any job is hard, but as a front line nurse in a hospital seems insane. And then you do four of them back to back. A "Deity with impostor syndrome" arc, showing Morty with a globe of patients on her shoulders at the gym. But who would direct the movie?

So much this. All the "magazine tests" are just superficial short cuts, manufactured from deeper questions that people who really grok the subject have to discern wheat from chaff. By no means a new phenomenon but more visible now, with social media. Funny how the abbreviations are the same: SM...
