Dividing up your internal regulating voices like this to figure out how you can tweak that conversation for a more healthy outcome is actually a legitimate method in therapy. Doing so helped me bring my weed habit down to sustainable levels. My therapist didn’t label them after my disorders like this but now that I think of it, he sure could have.

My answer to this question is generally “Cement, the more the better.”

There is no pedestrian crossing in NYC that is not either signed or signalled, so there is zero ambiguity about when you are supposed to stop. I’m guessing you are leaving out part of the story and very curious what the actual citation was. Regardless, your first sentence is blatant misinformation, please be careful about how you phrase things.

“I have my own army in the NYPD”
-Michael Bloomberg

Those cops broke city policy, probably in order to comply with unofficial precinct policy. Giuliani instituted a city-wide crime statistics system in 1994 called CompStat with the stated goal of making crime statistics public and accountable, but the real purpose is allowing police the final and only say over what crimes do or don’t make it into official records so that they can support any crime narrative they’d like (Or just be selectively lazy and get away with it).

This is absolutely a dark pattern, which should be on a list of well-defined dark patterns made illegal anywhere that handles PII.

You have complete agency over your own toxicity.

“Host” was certainly poor wording as one of it’s other definitions is literally data center services, I meant to refer only to the siting of software research which the headline calls the “AI brain”.

And yeah I agree on ultimate trajectory, AI offerings are 95% folly and it’s now so big that even countries who haven’t integrated their economies with the sector will feel the pain when it collapses, China will not be immune. Though they will probably just stumble while the US will completely face plant.

OK yeah but the user just asked if Cuba is improving LGBTQ+ rights (Sounds like they very much have).

Most of that goes toward implementation (data centers) and chip manufacturing. China is making money on compute services and maintaining capability parity on software the good old fashioned pirate way merely to prevent a technology gap with the US, as is their way.

I would reckon that China is perfectly satisfied to let us be the sole host of the thing that is rapidly destroying our economy and trust in all media from the inside out.

Do you think that asking a simpleton gotcha question absent any further explication isn’t a contrarian and socially erosive rhetorical tack which suggests in context that you’d implicitly support any mass murdering sovereign incursion by the US so long they’ve convinced you that their target is a bad dude?

Cause it sure comes across that way, even if that’s not the case. And yes, I’m aware that their ayatollah was a revolutionary replacement of our shah.

OK now who are we installing next to come back and murder in 2050?

Looking at ebay for guns, cheapass but fully functional AR-patterns seem to start in the low 400s these days.

Someone quick, show Mamdani that Not Just Bikes video on fire departments. Best response to the emergency responder argument against bike infrastructure IMO.

…Why tho

Jill Stein?

Honestly I don’t actually know for sure, just guessing.

I voted Kamala but seriously, fuck off with this sourbitch garbage. Protest voters aren’t why you lost, you lost because your candidate sucked shit.
