What news are you referring to, specifically?

Putting aside the fact that racist people would say the same about this black politician, how’s this acceptable discourse for civilized society? If some rando on twitter said this, they’d get FBI at their door.

Maybe this will increase voter turnout for people who want to see Trump get sentenced and not avoid his sentence

Reach out to your representatives and ask them what they’re doing about it, then tell your family and friends and ask them to reach out to their representatives

I hate South Park. It’s occasionally funny, this is not one of those occasions

That’s fair

I kinda admire human…creativity, I guess? I mean, this dude understands the meaning of YOLO

The word fag needs to be taken back from the haters. My first encounter with it was in the context of cigarettes.

Just be careful that you’re both designating each other as a beneficiary on any insurance, 401K/other retirement vehicles, or other assets (stocks, bonds, housing, accounts etc). If she’s not legally your spouse, she’s not going to be automatically entitled to any assets if she’s widowed or vice versa.

You both may also want to have a will or power of attorney clause given to each other in case of medical issues which prevent someone from communicating their own will. Family members get the right to act on behalf of their family, but they can’t do anything to help or protect if they’re not legally related in some way. Some places have clauses for common law spouses, but not all do, and not for all circumstances.

I am interested in knowing if I am wrong, would be cool to see published results which can prove any of these ideas

You’re basically stealing from other people when you use LLMs without constraints, that’s more classist and ableist

Okay, I hope you go forth and research these ideas

I don’t think we should be taking advice on anything from religious people. It simply doesn’t make sense to listen to people who are delusional at best, and maniacal at worst

Edit and I think it’s inherently antisemitic to say that the only reason the Jewish people deserve a homeland is because of religion. No, Jews deserve a place to call their own, and it’s fair that it should be where it is currently because of their historic ties to the region. Neighboring ME countries should accept it and move on. The rise of Zionism had, and still has, roots in European antisemitism, so I don’t believe this Judeo Christian fraternity for a second.

That’s not what it’s saying at all, it’s talking about immobilization as a survival strategy as induced by the body’s neurophysiology, think of it as another option after flight vs fight responses.

Here’s the report mentioned in the article https://explore.bps.org.uk/content/report-guideline/bpsrep.2020.rep133

Edit looking closely, the report itself doesn’t mention anything about the immobilization defense.

Edit2 so on further review, I agree that this article is low quality. Apologies, was just browsing while half asleep and thought it was interesting

Polyvagal theory itself does not seem promising so far. Oh well, editing this post to highlight that…

Interesting, elaborate

The post is starting out with the wrong assumptions so naturally it’s conclusions are wrong, top tier shitpost.

In the old days we’d use this kind of pseudoscience for mischief (you know, trolling), now it’s disinformation spread by useful idiots to upend their democracies.

Using anti-aging products at a young age will have the opposite effect because of increased exposure to different irritants in various products. Whatever you use isn’t necessarily good for your skin, esp if it causes inflammation. But ime the best anti-aging is eating healthy and exercise.

Er, that’s what I am saying however is that you can observe and measure consciousness.

You seem to have a very exclusive definition of consciousness, which only serves to avoid the argument, really.

I don’t, I am just going based on current findings.

I am not sure why it’s hard to accept that some living things may not be conscious. Viruses propagate “mindlessly”, they’re neither living nor conscious.

I also don’t understand why you think emergent properties are a hypothesis. Emergent properties of biological processes are fact, look at any cell of any major organ in the body. Why do we treat the brain differently? Because I think we get irrational.

I am listening, I think it’s a case by case basis and generalizations just alienate people instead of making them empathetic or sympathetic.

I also know that people tend to downplay women’s concerns as part of misogynistic histories, so I am mindful of that too. I do my part to speak up against these kinds of patterns when I see them

Edit I am just giving my pov, I wish there was a way to know which approach is more helpful.

Edit 2 but yeah, I tend to generalize too, so I get the need to do it when something annoys you enough
