damn thats me lately, there isn’t a time when i can NOT sleep. Although i do wake up refreshed, but i get sleepy again quickly.

Therapy saved my life. Without therapy i would still take very heavy medication, because the meds are just for stabilizing the situation; now, many years later, i am down to 2 meds with smaller dosage (a mood stabilizer and an anxietolytic) after starting with 5 meds (2 SSRI’s, neuroleptics and the beforementioned 2), high dosage and being dead inside.

That makes a large difference in life quality, and it’s worth the work.

Supercriticality has entered the chat.

Yeah, he’s still in campaign mode, and that won’t change until power has officially transferred over. Also, since the media landscape is still very much in Orbans hands, he probably wanted to avoid giving them ammunition. To be honest, this is the hardest part to fix - i don’t have many ideas except of nationalizing all of Orbans media - which is more than 90% - and then reprivatization afterwards.

A very important lesson is hidden in this article:

Of the other two ridings, the Bloc Québécois is in an extremely tight race with the Liberals in Terrebonne, Quebec. The Liberals won it by just one vote in the last federal election, but the result was overturned by Canada’s supreme court because of a misprint on a voter’s envelope.

If ANY side had seen only one more person voting, everything might have been different! Never think that your vote isn’t important.

The last part seldom is an issue for me, since i like my lyrics understandable, even if a substantial number of them might exceed the length of a telenovela-script lol

There are a few exceptions, but even those are more on the understandable side compared to how i expect a band named “Mating Wolverines” sounds - it IS an awesome bandname tho!

Lol Biden is old, but not THAT old

There is the hypothesis floating around that he didn’t say anything about LGBTQ in general to make him palatable to as many voters as possible, which was a success. But he seems a lot more socially liberal than Orban, and wants to position closer to the EU, so a normalization and realignment of the laws with the larger EU Space is what i would expect, probably after restoring a functioning judiciary which he will need to fix the widespread corruption.

Even Moscow proclaimed they were never friends with Orban lol

But it’s the same issue Biden faced where he couldn’t even trust the Secret Service, or Germany after WW2 - you can’t really discern who was just keeping their head down and who was a true believer, except if there is material evidence. Magyar already announced that he will partner up with EU institutions to deal with the widespread corruption, and i think that outside view will be a valuable help it attaining that goal.

Maybe it would be easier to dissolve the state and start from a clean slate - but even then you couldn’t be sure that the people you take in for their know-how aren’t guilty as well, potentially setting yourself up for a few not so nice surprises.

This gatekeeping shit has always annoyed me while i was active in the goth and metal scene (which was and probably still is pretty small here, so the two tend to mix a lot).

I do only care about what shirt you wear as a global cue what style of music you might like or i like the design and artwork. The rest is really not that important.

I like a few bands where i would be hard pressed to name songs, because i only know them from streaming recommendations, which i only use while on the road; I might mark the band as a favorite, and some months later i go through my faves, check if they are still to my liking, and if they are, i make them available offline - that’s the point where i start learning album/track names.

But at the same time Polymarket seems a bit like a self fulfilling prophecy - because Polymarket says something, it by itself increases the odds of that event happening; and in the cases where it isn’t this way, look for the large amount of bets 2 hours before the event in questing, a.k.a the “GOP spike”.

Yes. it was. Funnily enough, of all the Marvel crap they produced, the Captain America movies really held up well, and actually were expressing that automating a kill chain is something only evil people would do. Sadly, that was very true, although the kill potential isn’t there yet.

I can only recommend this article - it goes through what happened in history towards everything that happened to the targeting of that school - mainly speeding up the process from target identification to strike, and the cutting out of humans of the decisionmaking process, powered by Peter Thiel’s Palantir, and the replacement of the question if this was a war crime by the discussion of the completely unrelated Claude LLM.

It has also occluded something deeper: the human decisions that led to the killing of between 175 and 180 people, most of them girls between the ages of seven and 12. Someone decided to compress the kill chain. Someone decided that deliberation was latency. Someone decided to build a system that produces 1,000 targeting decisions an hour and call them high-quality. Someone decided to start this war. Several hundred people are sitting on Capitol Hill, refusing to stop it. Calling it an “AI problem” gives those decisions, and those people, a place to hide.

Doesn’t change the fact that Irans fucking war propaganda is more credible than the tweets of the President of the United States of America.

No shit french Sherlock

Me too - it looks like real fun. Hell, they would have to take a break for an hour or so, to make sure i have enough time driving around the DuckMobile. Only way to get me to stop would be to offer the BatMobile as a replacement (until the DuckBatteries are charged again, then it is Quacking Time again!)

I believe i heard of a case where there was a children’s song used as a torture method somewhere in the us, which might be a similar experience…

Found it, it was Baby Shark and in Oklahoma: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/nov/05/oklahoma-county-jail-baby-shark-torture-tactics-lawsuit

And to add to that, it worsens mental health issues - at least for me it does. The subconscious “you are not good enough” doesn’t do anything good for anyone.

I do not do ad-supported, ever - they are aggravating, i start grinding my teeth and would rather listen to a construction site than to ads.

Wanted to say something similar - that they would probably get interrogated and spend eternities in custody before getting dropped somewhere in central Africa

Orban is a fucking FSB puppet and nothing else, no need to be dragging the US into this.
