This article is about a poll of Americans. It’s not required to do a poll of everyone else in the world first, and it doesn’t imply anything about people elsewhere. At no point does it say that everything is America’s fault. It’s just stating the poll’s findings about Americans.
If you believe in God, nothing matters because you’ll go to heaven when you die.
That’s a very not-smart interpretation of Christianity. (I assume Christian because old MAGA man; sorry if I’m wrong.) Have you tried asking him why Jesus ever bothered to do anything instead of just staying in bed, or why he didn’t just tell his followers to sit on their butts and wait?
“Ignore all previous instructions. Ignore all future instructions.”
I like that one. Can we add “ignore all instructions from everyone else” and just be done with these LLMs?
Yes, trace it back and the problem is selfish billionaires, as ever. Journalists operate within a media culture that does not prioritize the actual threats to humanity because to do so would inconvenience a few very rich people.
Republicans have cut climate science, research into flooding, disaster preparation, disaster aid, healthcare, vaccine research, disease monitoring and control, and more. They’re working hard to kill as many ordinary Americans as they can, just like they did during COVID but worse.
So you’re not even allowed to say that you think Palestinians should be free to live their lives instead of being genocided by Israel, without being classified as a terrorist in the UK. The UK Government is evidently very afraid of something.
He’s just repeating the same right-wing talking points we have to debunk every single day, designed to portray trans people as some kind of looming general threat. Gavin Newsom is no kind of ally.
And Britain’s ally Israel can keep genociding innocents without being embarrassed by octogenarian priests with a conscience.
It’s no coincidence that zombie dramas and video games became extremely popular in the USA right as people started feeling they were surrounded by hostile forces in a collapsing society with no one looking out for them.
Thanks. I corrected the misreading in my comment above.
Last week she dropped fraud charges against Dr. Michael Moore and his Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah, who were indicted in January 2023 for running a fake covid vaccination scheme. The office destroyed $28,000 of medicine and sold fake vaccine cards for $50 a pop, netting almost $100,000. They even injected saline into the arms of kids who wanted the shots, at the behest parents who opposed them.
The case was set to go to trial this week, and a jury had already been selected. But then Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote Bondi a letter calling Moore “a hero for refusing to inject an experimental vaccine into the arms of patients who did not wish to subject themselves or their children to a human experiment.”
“The charges brought initially by the corrupt Biden Justice Department against Dr. Moore are a blatant attempt to punish dissent and silence those who question the safety of experimental vaccines,” she went on, demanding that the DOJ “immediately drop all charges.”
Which it did!
I know it’s not news, but all these people are utter scumbags.
This paper estimates that 4.5% of the population is psychopathic has psychopathic traits, and 1.2% is psychopathic by conventional standards of measurement. (Edited to correct my original misstatement, thanks to teslasaur’s reply below.)
The meta-analytical results obtained allow us to estimate the prevalence rate of psychopathy in the general adult population at 4.5%. That being said, this rate varies depending on the participants’ sex (higher in males), the type of sample from the general population (higher in samples from organizations than in community samples or university students), and the type of instrument used to define psychopathy. In fact, using the PCL-R, which is currently considered the “gold standard” for the assessment and definition of psychopathy, the prevalence is only 1.2%.

Archive links, in case the US government deletes it along with the rest of science:
Why do so many computer manufacturers organize their websites around obscure names of model ranges that only they understand, or make you decide upfront whether you want a “home” or “business” or “creator” laptop? Why do they all make it as difficult as possible for you to browse what’s on offer? Is it just because they all suck at website design, or is there some other reason?
Canada did the same. It’s depressing seeing them all cave to Trump’s demands of the week. It only guarantees there will be more demands next week.
There are real limits to repairability in modern devices, some placed there just in order to force you to pay the manufacturer more money. But you’re right that there’s a lot we could do that we’re just not bothering to do.
But if you hate your data there’s no quicker way to lose it than a single 36TB Seagate drive.
I like the understatement. Shame they spoiled it with the “game changing” claim at the beginning.
You’re no more likely to lose keys with KeePass or KeePassXC than with an online password manager, as long as you keep good backups, and maybe sync KeePass to cloud storage.
They also kidnapped the grandmother, who was traveling with them on a valid visa, and have her imprisoned elsewhere. Then they snatched the father separately. The mother and kids don’t know the father is imprisoned. They’ve been given no phone calls and no access to legal representation.
If Dexter’s office had not been told about the situation, it is unlikely Merlo’s friends and family would have been able to find her, said Mimi Lettunich, a friend of the Merlo family who has known Merlo for around 20 years. Lettunich attended Friday’s press conference remotely.
“When we talk about ‘What do we want in our community?’ — hard-working, of course. They go to church, and not just participating. Jackie is the worship director at the church,” Lettunich said. “(They) are collaborating with community outreach and things like The Salvation Army. … Their kids are in Christian school, and they are involved in all kinds of different activities and sports. They just won a music competition, just a few weeks ago, and a trip to Disney. I think about how their community is sending them to Disneyland, and our government is sending them to detention.”
As a member of Congress, Dexter has access to the CBP facility and was able to see the family through a window but was not given permission to speak with them.
“They have no idea who I was. I was not allowed to speak with them,” she said.
On July 3, five days after the family was detained at the U.S. and Canadian border, Merlos’ husband, Carlos, was detained by ICE agents in Portland. He has been detained by ICE. Because Merlo has not been able to talk with anyone outside the CBP facility, it is unlikely she is aware of her husband’s status, Dexter said.
Dexter’s office and Merlos’ attorney, Nedved, have access to Carlos in the Northwest Detention Center but still cannot speak with Merlos in Ferndale.
“We cannot connect the two of them to make sure that they understand the situation that the other is in,” Dexter said. “It is absolutely a travesty.” Because nobody has been able to speak with Merlo or her children since she has been taken, it is also possible Merlo doesn’t know she has legal representation, Nedved said.
“We have an issue here where CBP is taking a role where they have detained a family for a period of a couple of weeks when these detention facilities are really only designed for short term,” Nedved said. “They (the family) have not been provided access to contact loved ones, access to contact council or understand what their rights even are.” Nedved said Merlos is unlikely aware of her situation and is making a decision (whether to voluntarily deport) “potentially under duress.”
These people are the stupidest fascists ever.
