It’s an anti consent machine. I would really love to see what would happen if we had a discussion with someone who did clinical psych and futurists

It’s boundary testing . They have enough of a power gap that they can test multiple ways to try and avoid boundaries
It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

People hate AI slop!

I made up some half-sheets you can print on 8.5 x 11 (color and b&w) if you want to hand them to aggressive Salvation Army bell-ringers.

I did my best to research everything I ended up including. Will drop some links below.

Do not give money to the Salvation Army.

Tax payer this and tax payer that. It's not your money! It is technically all of our money. It's supposed to be used to help create a better society. But you only seem to complain about how it's spent when it's helping vulnerable people. And not those who are extremely wealthy.

This doesn't make sense when you remember that puberty blockers are regularly prescribed for cis children all the time with no issue. It's only banned for trans youth.
Cass and a co-author have a really telling passage in a recent article where they draw an analogy between cigarette sales and puberty blockers! It's wild.

You get policies that kill children when you

1) Elect fascists
2) Refuse to punch Nazis
3) Threaten your allies
4) Punch down
5) Reject Science
6) Lie about virus transmission
7) Lie about personal protective equipment
8) All of the above

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

I was talking to a friend today, and her son is a class at school that is I guess supposed to promote financial responsibility and planning—learning about things like investing in the stock market and the like—and the teacher is hyping PolyMarket.

Chat, we're cooked if we don't ban this stuff.
My strategy of not gambling and just having an advisor who puts my money in blue chip stocks and leaving it there for the long-term seems boring but on the other hand I'm actually on track for retirement atm?

andy ngo hospitalized in yet another dairy based leftist terror assault which saw him almost brutally struck near his head by a violent agitator's so-called "baba"
It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park.

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”
