well, because our criminal justice system disproportionately targets black people, not allowing prisoners to vote has a racist outcome. If every white person who smoked weed had the same chance of being incarcerated as a black person committing the same crime, well... it would still be a bad idea

I feel like that is a late stage capitalism problem, not a "I can't believe these stupid kids are majoring in underwater basket weaving" problem

In fact the costs of public/CC certs are so low that many students don't need to take out loans at all. The problem is for profit cosmetology programs, where you can accumulate $20k worth of debt, forcing you to work successfully for two years to break even. Which often doesn't happen.

I mean, what I don't understand, is the sheer ignorance of the second take. You couldn't be bothered to take thirty seconds to google thee ROI on cosmetology certificates? The ROI on Public/Community College provided cosmetology certificates is exceptional.

wtf? cosmetology is one of the most lucrative degrees/certificates you can get depending on your skill set why are we pooh poohing vocational school, which has the highest ROI right now?

LLMs can do some image recognition *as a plug in* but hospitals are using very specialized image recognition neural network models (not LLMs) and I would rely on that

We have to pass a whole raft of laws limiting executive and judicial power. Lots of countries have done this.

I just... mmm. I wonder how different the world might be if the Dems had not recoiled in fear every time the immigration issue came up. The fact that these low information voters don't know what the consequences of Trump's policies are is because Dems were too cowardly to EVER talk about it

When I was working at DOC under W, I walked into an immigration discussion and suggested the optimum strategy is to make it as difficult as possible to get here, to skim off the cream of the crop, and then integrate those who make it as quickly as possible to harness their job creating potential

for the lucky few who will go on to be machine learning engineers building linear regressions and logit models into neural networks We're not building nuclear bombs to compete with the Rooskies anymore, a lot of the stuff we learned in the seventies is no longer necessary

(((be kind))) @zonkerbrainless.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Right? Long division is no longer necessary and arguably hasn't been for a while. Take the time you spent teaching kids long division and teach them the idea of loops and conditional "if/then" statements. I would retain algebra but specifically to prepare kids for statistics,

How much of the $3600 was interest and late fees?

(((be kind))) @zonkerbrainless.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

They competed for the same roles a lot. The Godfather. Dog Day Afternoon. Kramer vs. Kramer. But they don't look remotely similar. I think the only time I've come close to confusing them is Marathon Man. Seems more like an Al Pacino movie to me.

I wouldn't mistake Dustin Hoffman for Al Pacino in a million years. Very different vibe.

(((be kind))) @zonkerbrainless.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Dustin Hoffman was the prickly new Yorker who was secretly a softy (Midnight Cowboy), Al Pacino was the pasty nerd who was secretly psychotic (Taxi Driver, Scarface)

Deuteronomy 4:15–16, Moses reminds Israel: "You saw no form of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb... so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman."
