The big one for me is even worse, the way they were raised.
“I became my own person” no you fucking didn’t, you still hold fundamental biases and function based on things you aren’t even aware of.
Everything is programmed in, EVERYTHING.
You think eating bugs is gross? Programmed in.
You hate the number 4(parts of asia)? Programmed in.
You sing Happy Birthday at a party while serving a cake? Programmed in.
Yup, I stopped worrying about extra lane changes and pushing the speed limit when I realized that it was literally saving me 1-2 minutes at best. Not worth the risk or the hassle.
Had this problem at highscool, I could tell if the TV mounted in the room ceiling was on even if the screen was black. I had to ask the teachers to turn them off, they’d look at it and say “it is” and then we’d have an argument about not being able to hear anything. Eventually I would prove it by turning away, and having them randomly turn it off and on and I could tell them when it was off vs on.
Very frustrating, but I got old and now I can’t hear shit
Good morning ChatGPT, Give me a ten word poem please.
There are 8 billion people in the world, “anyone” doesn’t apply to anything.
Tease him enough to distract him.
I’m very supportive out housing the homeless as a fix, but to be clear math is on a per-day basis, it isn’t some sort of long term fix.
I hate these stupid math headlines that don’t actually make any sense.
Current deployment costs are around $1.1 million per day, housing all of those people in shelters at $45 per person works out to something like $250,000 per day.
This math calculation entirely ignores the fact that there aren’t enough shelters to actually do that.
We were well into the internet in 2010…
Hell, we were well into the internet in 2000
Just get an old phone that doesn’t have a SIM in it, uninstall any apps you don’t want want that could be used locally, forget your wifi networks, load it up with music via usb, connect it to your Bluetooth headphones and go.
Parents will parent until they die
A child can choose to stop listening anytime after they’re no longer financially reliant upon the parent
Completely agree.
I’ve got clients who I can see immediate benefits right now, and I’ve got clients where I don’t think it’s a good idea yet. Most of those that could benefit it’s small tweaks to workflow processes to save a few FTE here and there, not these massive scale rollouts we’re seeing.
Unfortunately Microsoft, along with other companies, are selling fully scale sexy to executive when full scale sexy isn’t actually ready yet. What’s available does work for some things, but it’s hard to get an executive team to sign off on a project for testing to save only 10 employees worth of work in a 2000 person company when they’re simultaneously a) worried about it going horribly wrong, and b) worried about falling behind other companies by not going fast enough.
“Teens as young as 12“
Im pretty sure that’s now how teens work…
And your wife is irrational, and the behavior is a waste of time.
What are you trying to prove with your comment?
What do their choices have to do with your choices?
Those two things are entirely independent.
Someone else won the lottery today, does that mean you should rush out and buy a ticket?
No, because what happened to them isn’t likely to happen to you.
Just to add to the statistics, many thousands of Americans win more than a million dollars every year on the lottery.
You’re still feeling rather than thinking. It’s no skin off my nose if you choose to live a shitty life because you cant properly assess risk,. Good luck, but you’re probably going to die of a heart attack. Maybe you should worry about that instead.
Humans suck at estimating risk when large or small numbers are involved. Your brain can’t even comprehend 2.5 million people. You see a shooting on the news three times over multiple years and become afraid. That’s completely irrational.
All you’ve done is proven that your feelings matter more than the reality.
When you let your feelings control you, and they’re that far off from reality, you’re going to make bad choices.
That simply isn’t the reality for almost anyone.
And we were talking about busses, not subways.
It absorbs a lot, and it channels a lot of the blast up.
Yes, but also its not easy to smuggle a large bomb either.
No it doesn’t state the opposite. You are throwing out the entirety of the data just because the researchers admit that it may not be fully complete. They report exists because… their data is still mostly valid and gives important information.
Even if the real numbers were 50x the values they listed, which is absolutely absurd and obviously it’s not that bad, each year it would add up to less than 5000 attacks per year and only 68 deaths, across a country of 320 million people. Or about 1.5 people per 100,000 get attacked, and about 0.02 people per 100k die. That’s WITH me counting it at 50 times the value!
More people die to lawnmowers than that… (about 75 per year) About 5000 Americans choke to death on food every year. 45,000 die in Vehicle accidents.
There are far more common things that will injure or kill you than getting on a bus and getting attacked, and unless you are worried about all of those first and change your behavior to reduce the risk, then worrying about this one to the point of changing your behavior is irrational.
How many random (non-targeted) people were killed shopping in Austin in the last year, even if you include these 3 people?
How many people have died slipping in their shower in Austin in the last year? Or choking on food? I will bet you money both of those are much higher than the above answer. Have you stopped showering? Do you cut up all your food into bites so small you can’t choke on them then eat them one at a time swallowing before taxing the next bite?
single incidents should not validate fears when you have a population of 2.5 million people, just because extremely rare things can and do happen doesn’t mean they should change the way you live your life.
Palestine is quite literally dirt poor, they aren’t going to be funding anything. The diaspora might, but it’s no match for Israeli state funding.
The only reason there was any fighting back in the territories is the external funding and weapons supplied from nearby countries who wanted to damage Israel.
These other countries don’t actually care about Palestinians though, the suffering is actually beneficial to weakening Israel politically so they’re not going to try to make changes to improve the situation.
