Reported, or total? That’s the funny thing, people who live off tips already are giving themselves a bit of a tax break by fudging numbers, so this isn’t as big of a deal as it seems. And maybe I found the catch - to get people who have these jobs to report their full income, and then when it’s exposed they get more than they’ve claimed, come after them. Yeah, that’s a bit conspiratorial…but everything else seems to be aimed at the commons and how they are the problem.
Absolutely. My post was just about how kids begin with a DEI mindset and that gets removed from them. What you’re talking about is reinforcing the normal, especially for those kids in bad environments. The issue then becomes the schools not having the backing to fight the eventual angry parents and their lawyers because their child is being shown that their parents are wrong. Schools used to be able to push back, but they bend over at anything now for fear of lawsuits and/or funding cut and jobs lost.
Education is one of the most critical careers we have, and yet it’s underpaid and attacked constantly for doing their job.
It’s worse than that. Kids aren’t born into this world racist, sexist, and hating, they get taught that either from exposure to it or directly. Of course they see other kids are different to them, but they’re fine with that until adults teach them otherwise.
Ask someone who is supporting all this anti-DEI stuff what DEI stands for. They either won’t have a clue, or if they do, you’ve found yourself a bigot who is find with oppressing others.
That money goes straight back to Treasury.
There it is. “Why are they doing this?” Right there.
Isn’t that now “PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”?
– Trump response when asked about how the tariff situation was going.
New world trading amongst themselves, who dis?
Oh, so nastier than being asked by a reporter to tell the scared American public something encouraging during a pandemic? So Presidential, this guy.
Exactly my stance. Federal regulation makes sense when there’s a common ground, but my first response when seeing the quote about a “light touch” was, it can’t get any lighter than it is. If you want to push for federal over state enforcement, then present something that is actually protecting more than the profit interests of those economically invested in AI. Like human species interests, preservation, not opening something we can’t close.
And before the “LLM isn’t AGI” comes into play, of course it isn’t. But if we’re treating LLM R&D with a full throttle and safety concerns on the shelf, we’re doing the same with any related field. And even LLMs can have alignment issues and be misused or misguided while connected to crucial or even life-threatening conditions. “We wouldn’t do that.” Of course we would. Money.
I’ll give him credit and say it’s “and” since that would make more sense in the flow of the sentence. He’s a terrible orator, so even the basic things said by him can be confusing. Not a fan of the heavy hand of military, but Eisenhower warned us we’d get like this. A strong defense is a good offense, but I think the US politically, economically, and even socially embraces that a little too much through history, and we definitely have war hawks in control right now.
Ron, you know there’s reasons why you should be monitoring emissions…oh, right, you’re the anti-science guy in a state that has long been affected by the very thing you don’t want to talk about. Dumb ass.
The opposite of woke is still asleep, regardless of its use. Close your eyes, Ron. That’ll help.
He’d just divert to Moscow to get new orders directly.
To be fair, the Air Force will be stripping it down as they modify it for the needs of the office. But all it takes is one thing missed to be a huge problem. This just isn’t a great idea at all, but they knew he’d jump at it because hey, free plane that he gets to keep.
I can see its humor not clicking with some people, but it had to be over the top otherwise it would be far too on the nose. Outside of delivery, would you argue that the main points it was aiming for were valid criticisms of Western society?
Those were pseudo-documentaries. Don’t Look Up matches reality better. And the topic doesn’t have to be science related for the comet metaphor to work.
Just like the tariffs, the loss of a functional post office is going to hurt far more things deeper than they realize. Or like everything else, they understand it will break things but only care about what they’re getting out of it.
The ones that would be classified as gun nuts are the same ones that are fine with what he’s doing. Except when the leopard goes after them.
Unable to answer the question, and blamed the asker for a “nasty question” and some agenda to find fault.
