- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 2 days ago:
You mean you’re telling me that the technology that can’t even correctly predict my next word in my text messages, is untrustworthy at an even bigger scale? I remember when AI first came out and I talked about that, they went on and on about how they’re different.
Also, please don’t anyone forget that the CEOs of these corporations were firing and replacing their workers in proportion to the amount of trust they gave LLMs. Do not forget.

The corporations are the ones making you feel guilty, especially if the infrastructure isn’t there. That’s how they tried it (and won) in Seattle. They’re all like, build, build, build, and then covid hit. The transit takes hours if the person can’t afford to live in the city (see my bullet points). There are a lot of grey areas and people like you. The system is broken and they’re blaming the home owners who don’t want to live in a fucked up area. The CEOs don’t care because they’re money hoarders and living in gated communities somewhere.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 4 days ago:
It’s true that it’s doubtful that this stuff will get implemented if we continue the way we are going. Most people don’t know about these issues and talking about it gets this info out there. The propaganda coming from the corporate landlords is heavy and strong. I’m surprised this isn’t getting trolled heavily tbh. Not sure why it isn’t.
Things to continue talking about and what I don’t think people realize, know, or understand how bad it is:
- Price fixing is a huge problem in rentals. They have website services that help the landlords do this.
- Corporate landlords hold empty homes and apartments vacant until they can get the prices they want rather than lower the price. This is why that trickle down housing shit doesn’t work.
- Corporations buy up all cheap housing so downturns in markets are only good for them too. See the first 2 bullet points.
- The push for more housing means that there are more luxury apartments, not homes for who need them. They’ll say that homes will be available when they get shitty over the years. See above bullet points and even if that were true, would take 30 years anyway.
Go after the corporate landlords and corporate airbnb shit first, then go after the nimbys. The nimbys are the distraction and pits the neighbors against the 15 minute city types instead of the corporations that are making fucking bank.

I meant under 10 units, you’re right. I fixed it. I’m down with a cold and I knew it wasn’t quite right, but my brain couldn’t fix it, lol.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 5 days ago:
Drastically increase the tax rate for more than 3 houses by any single person.
I would say that it should start building the tax after one house and go drastic like you said on the 3rd.

Assange only picked one side though.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 5 days ago:
- Crack down on price fixing
- Don’t let corporations run AirBNBs or similar
- Don’t let corporations own any rental building over approximately 10 units.
- Don’t let rental buildings have more than a low percentage of empty units for turn around. They have to lower the rent then. If it goes to $200/month, then so be it.
There are so many things to try, but Trickle Down Housing never works.

- Comment on The Trotskyists Were Right About One Thing - Start a Bunch of Newspapers 6 days ago:
Oh for sure, they have some great reporters. They’ll never again be in my feed though. If something good comes out, someone else posts it or another pub talks about it. Not worth the anger of it all.
- Comment on The Trotskyists Were Right About One Thing - Start a Bunch of Newspapers 6 days ago:
Oh no, I agree with everything you just said. You definitely have to pick and choose. I have the Houston Chronicle on my feed and it’s one of the worst that’s still in my feed. It barely squeaks by, but it’s better than the rest of TX that I can find. I’m open to suggestions.
Also, most of the headlines are total shit on all of them. The AP is especially bad.
- Comment on The Trotskyists Were Right About One Thing - Start a Bunch of Newspapers 6 days ago:
You have to follow many.
- The Guardian
- The AP
- Reuters
- Big city papers (not NYT obviously)
I would check your local papers as well, sometimes they have national things that are better.

Just walk there and go back home. You’re going to have to embrace the “feels too weird” part. Feeling weird is part of life.
There are like shopping malls within 20 minutes walking distance, but I don’t wanna like just walk around if I’m not buying anything… feels too weird.

Here is a more rounded out description. I think it’s from a company that sells a related product:
It is a high-production chemical commonly found in metalworking fluids, pesticides, antifreeze, pharmaceuticals, and various personal care products like lotions and shampoos. DEA is also used in the manufacturing of fatty acid derivatives such as cocamide DEA and lauramide DEA, which serve as emulsifiers and foaming agents.

DEA is used in industrial, agricultural, and consumer products.
“We knew that micropollutants can be incorporated into fatty molecules in the body, but we didn’t know how this occurs or what happens next,” Clardy said. “DEA’s metabolism into an immune signal was completely unexpected.”
The team proposes that DEA could be added to the growing list of biomarkers used to detect some cases of major depressive disorder.
The study also strengthens arguments that major depressive disorder, or a subset of cases, could be considered an autoinflammatory or autoimmune disease and be successfully treated with immune modulator drugs, Clardy said.

Yeah, it wasn’t Pentecostal, but had a name. I wish I could remember it. The kids were nice but always were tired and had that look of abuse. I don’t think they were abused like hitting, but they all had to take care of the younger ones or themselves. They were always tired. Funny, but tired.
