- Comment on A Medicaid researcher attacked by Elon Musk's DOGE just killed herself 2 weeks ago:
It fits perfectly as a vessel to further the neoliberal agenda of dismantling any form of regulations to create their vision of a “perfect” free market society.
- Comment on A Medicaid researcher attacked by Elon Musk's DOGE just killed herself 2 weeks ago:
A “free market” as in the sense these lunatics envision it is a market devoid of any form of outside regulations. In essence, survival of the fittest on an economical level: Profit above all else, might makes right, consequences be damned. One
presidentführerCEO calling the shots, everybody else following or getting crushed in the machinery.So you tell me: What’s not authoritarian about corporate capitalism?

Do you genuinely think reliable medical tests are being targeted at you through ads?
Nope, but that is an entirely different problem. Major platforms have to be legislated to tightly control which ads they run. The amount of misinformation spread through ads is enormous.

Also, a depression test? Some people certainly would benefit from know that a) no showing these symptoms is neither normal nor healthy, and b) there can be something done against this.

- Comment on Privacy is ‘the most valuable right of all’, says Signal’s president. 1 month ago:
OK, I am going to try arguiung that privacy supersedes food:
To have a right to anything means there is something that I own. Owning something puts a division between me and others who can not own this specific thing: My right is my own, I do not have to diminish it by sharing. The most fundamental form of division is absence. Having a right to privacy is a right to the absence from others. Therefore the right to privacy is a more fundamental one than the right to food.
However, I agree that in practice eating in public beats dying in private any time of the day. 🤷
- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 1 month ago:
IANAL. It’s the other way around: You do everything as required per your contract. If the company believes you owe them money for June, they will sue you if you don’t pay.
If trouble is on the horizon it is however advisable to contact an actual lawyer in advance to check your paperwork in case you missed anything.

- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 2 months ago:
Except, no employer will allow you to use your own AI model. Just like you can’t bring your own work equipment (which in many regards even is a good thing) companies will force you to use their specific type of AI for your work.

- Comment on Please tell me I'm not going nuts 2 months ago:
I know it is reassuring to believe there is some form of higher power, be it religious or in your case some form of deep state waiting to spring into action but the simple through is: There is no one coming to save us from ourselves.
It sounds cliché but: Be the change you want to see. You don’t have to become the next Luigi or otherwise “give yourself to the cause” but simply do what is within your means. Help where you can readily do so and even if you have to participate in the system you can do so in the least efficient way possible.

0 F is defined as the lowest temperature a guy was able to reach with some random mixture which is arbitrary.
But 0 C is commonly defined as the point at which water turns from solid to liquid and the other way round. Scientifically it’s ever so slightly off but still it’s defined via Kelvin.
