Here's a teaser of what's to come 👇

“Please prove that human brains don't work as a very sophisticated autocomplete.”
No, you need to prove that it does. But that takes actual work, not pullin out of your ass from “first principles” and superficial definitions of what biology is/does.
Techbros are the absolute dumbest “smart” guys.

Anything less than that will be the beginning of the end of science in America.

I can't even. At around 2 AM last night at the hotel, someone broke into my fiancé's truck. They stole clothes, medication, and a safe with a firearm in it. Police wouldn't even come out. All they would tell us is to make a report online. I am beyond livid.

To the lady that stopped me and offered a ride to work, you are an amazing human being. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I wish you the best in life. I had jumped a creek and everything just to get to work. You probably won't see this but know I will remember that kindness.
