Ok but for real tho. The average American severely underestimates how far you can get on rice, beans, lentils and chickpeas.

It's honestly so hard to take them seriously.

Naw bro it's neat

On top of that, it's apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.

Isn't that kind of perfect though

Literally billions of people.

If you think it's news that Meta's new public policy director, Dustin Carmack, is a Project 2025 co-author,

Consider dropping a tip to your preferred news outlet. I've already sent an email to The Verge's tipline and I implore you to do the same.

The platform has changed fundamentally. Its not Twitter anymore. Its the Nazi bar.

Looks like the datasets consist of every poll from October and November. Would love to see a time axis.

I think the consensus is generally that it's better data analysis but most of the journalistic team is gone. Still plenty of solid stuff. I would say it's probably competitive with a couple of other similarly lightweight models and teams/individuals. Nate Silver's kind of gone off the deep end since he least.

His facts weren't wrong. The UAW has just changed their tune since yesterday.

Calling the progressive wing of the party corporate democrats is just straight up in denial.

This argument is nonsense. It works for them and not for us because they are FASCISTS. This relationship with the truth and cult of personality are essential tenants of fascism. No amount of whataboutism will solve the Biden's electoral issues.

doesn’t even care if their candidate raped a child and tried to overthrow their government

It's right there. It's because his voters don't care. Calls to drop out from a faction Trump calls 'the enemy of the people', is a huge waste of time.

Yes but she's capable of actually campaigning. Expectations have been clear since the debate. If he got right out there and started campaigning immediately, he'd probably be doing fine. It's becoming clear however that he can't.

Let your heart guide you.

The party leaders aren't the ones preventing a move on Biden. Basic support for Biden is tantamount to no action at this point but they are generally taking a wait and see approach. Im mostly taking about the political influencers telling you not to believe your eyes and ears.

What's wrong with Kamala? Seems like Progressives have largely gotten over her record as AG. That's why they hid her in the first place.

Nobody is making that argument. You were the person the op was taking about. Nobody's going to vote trump over Palestine.

Personally i think they're just as scared as we are. They're just too fucking old to have a realistic picture of the political landscape. Gen X is going to get us all killed.

Mostly homophobia I would guess.

And it wasn't the last time. Remember super Tuesday?

In my memory people considered them meh at best but I had some fun. I remember the DS version in particular being pretty dope.

Stopping out seems to be an industry term that refers to semi-quitting school with an intent to return.

What does harassment mean in this context?

Why tf would you associate with men who would punish you if you don't "live up to a masculine ideal"?

It's not like men are ever given an explicit choice. Very frequently this means older male relatives.

My problem with this is these new qualities are just as likely to be used to build a toxic hierarchy. The problem seems to me to be not just the qualities themselves but the competitive nature that is more or less beaten into boys at a young age.

I think we're splitting hairs here. They don't want to because they feel like they can't do so without repurcussions.

This is absolutely true and I'm always surprised there isn't more acknowledgement in progressive women's circles. Simple polling shows that roughly a third of women hold all men to these standards but there are significantly more who exclusively apply it to potential partners (speaking from a very US-centric perspective).

The honest solution is that women who think this way are simply not good partners, and should be avoided to whatever degree is possible.

Well it's entirely dependent on their social circle, right? They're the ones who would or would not enforce these norms.

Ruined?

This is by design and most people fell for it entirely. Even the second highest content in this thread is carrying water for big oil.

I think you've hit the nail on the head here.

Toxic man: oh guess I am just gunna keep doing what I am doing if you aren’t going to tell me what to do.

The reason this comes up is that masculinity is largely based around externally conferred social status. You have to constantly be doing something to maintain an image of masculinity. Often this means some sort of social or physical violence in the right time or place (beat up the mugger to defend your partner, call out your boss when you're being treated unfairly, put rival men in their place). Just as frequently, however, it is the expectation of a certain amount of self sacrifice (paying for meals, military service). What they don't understand is how anyone can expect them to maintain their social status when they are avoiding this role that they have been explicitly shown that there will be consequences if they fail to meet. The answer is simple: once you're out of the masculinity rat race, you're out. By refusing to take part in the hierarchy of dominance you will eventually be subject to a more general and, frankly, human set of standards.

The only problem is that all of these pressures are external in the first place and this whole dynamic creates strong social gender boundaries. It is very easy for a lot of men to look at their social circles and see exclusively people who punish them for a failure to live up to a masculine ideal.

Seems like an essential feature to me. Curious to see if it'll be in the beta.

I dunno if 'Siri but functional' is good enough to get points from me. That said this is definitely good for the industry

By casting doubt on a related but fundamentally different bit of medical tech? Yeah that's what we need: more folks questioning medicine based on pop science understandings of the technology.

I mean the biggest innovation here isn't the "AI" (partially "on-device" or otherwise). It's exposing the apps action hooks to the model.

This isn't actually innovative it is just not OpenAIs business model. This recent trend is honestly a much smaller blip than most people recognize.
