What’s hilarious is that they don’t really do all that much training anymore.

They just hire people who already have the skills. or tell people to “figure it out”. They might pay you to go to a conference or something to improve skills… if those skills are hard to come by. It’s a cost benefit analysis, and new-hires are generally cheaper.

Or are people already doing that and just not getting caught?

this is actually boring. Drugs in tacos? Funny. Drugs in grandma’s UHAUL? well it depends on the grandma.

Fuck you Corpos

Promises, promises!

Most of these charges predate his presidency.

I feel sorry for the intern that has to document that.

Yup.

Also, can we just stop for a second and ask which is more important- the experiences, or documenting the experiences?

(though I don’t have kids,).

Especially because “don’t rape” and “don’t have sex with kids” aren’t even part of the commandments.

In fact there’s other passages that explicitly say, “fuck their daughters after killing the rest of their family”.

(And people wonder why these things happen.)

Somebody should probably investigate this guy for raping kids.

Just saying,

For the record, I’m willing to bet Apple and Google are training various AI models using photos on your phone, without your consent (or consent burried deep in a ToS.)

Didya really think Apple cared 'bout people having CSAM on their phones/icloud? (it does make an amazing excuse to scan every photograph you’ve ever taken or downloaded, though. any one who balks is immediately now protecting pedophiles. Apple, Google, they’re corporations. their ethics are dictated by the bottom line.) (they’ve since gone to on-device options that attempt to block or intervene if a child sends or receives things that are inappropriate, and offering to point them to an adult.)

I didn’t say I didn’t believe, but I felt context was necessary to the ‘hundreds of thousands’.

It’s not even a single percentage of people in the US. if we assume it’s only men, it’s barely half a percentage of men in the US.

I think this is a strong argument to legalize prostitution to provide legal recourse and protection for anyone in the profession who’s getting forced into the work.

I agree with this statement. Sex work should be legalized, not least of which for protecting everyone involved. However… something to keep in mind is that… hundreds of thousands… is not that large a percentage of men. Even if you assume it’s 900,000 men, the total number of people in the US is 350 million- meaning that 900k is 0.25%. granted, I’m blending men and women- there’s plenty of women who also buy trafficked slaves as well. but if you figure half the people in the use are men, and it’s only men doing it… that’ still…half a percent.

thinking about this…

you know how gaudy most trump towers are?

and how gaudy a lot of Saudi-rich-people-places are…?

Yeah. I wonder if… it’ll be extra gaudy, or just straight up… tacky.

oh shit. WebMD finally fixed their symptom checker.

used to be you’d plug in headache and it’d be like…

• You have a headache
• you have a migraine.
• you have a concussion
• you have [a whole lot of scary shit that will kill you]

now it just says “we couldn’t find anything wrong with you”

they forgot to model the aeromethane-spike from the cow fart.

I mean it definitely reduces over all drag.

Too many syllables.

Just saying, we’re idiots over here, and in any case Emantaller cheese sold as Swiss in the US install made here.

I assumed it was designed to survive some proximity to a nuclear strike. But definitely not a close-hit, or direct strike.

Far enough away and shielded enough that the flash of radiation doesn’t render its occupants immediately dead.

I’m gonna need a recipe. For science.

They found a fossilized Anklyosaurus larynx, which is what I 3d printed.

I got the file from a chain of friends passing the STL along, and highly-scientifically printed it in TPU and ran some air through just for the fun of it.

It sounded like a squeaky fart and was worth about of laughter and jokes. My nephew may have been at the age of fart jokes and not knowing when they were dead.

They definitely 3d printed their larynx- I know this because they published the model and I printed it in TPU.

It sounded like a squeaky fart. (But I’m guessing TPU is nothing like the appropriate material.)
