My agency was given funding to operate an isolation shelter for homeless people with Covid. It never opened because we couldn't find enough people to fill it. Meanwhile I lost over 20 clients in the first year of lockdown to suicide/overdose while my church was closed.

A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly. If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I'm hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.

This whole thing really proves my theory that everything the Japanese do is perverted in some way. You guys are all cucks for them. Sad

@colinblute_ @RealJohnDios We should just have a pitching machine throw the ball. In fact if we try hard enough we can replace all the players with computers.

@JVanMaren they're correct and you should stay out of other people's medical decisions, hope this helps!

In Canada in 2026, euthanasia activists--as well as all the suicide defenders in my comments--would demand to know why Woolf should not have been able to access a state-funded and state-facilitated lethal injection instead of drowning herself. We're watching the normalization of suicide in real time. Already some are arguing that suicide prevention for the suicidal and desperate constitutes a violation of the "right to die."

28 March 1941. Virginia Woolf (aged 59), suffering from severe depression, drowned herself in River Ouse, Sussex. Her best-known works were The Voyage Out, Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando and feminist classic A Room of One’s Own.

@NamiNami_Kyo @AdAltum @ikazuchizoku @i_kaseki I have no idea what that other person is even saying. A single American would not eat 3 or 4 of these in a single meal unless that person is eating an insane amount of food per meal.

People like to say that but then you look at England, where they arrest over a thousand people a month for social media posts, and ask why that hasn't happened here?

@ikazuchizoku @i_kaseki The original picture is misleading. An American would typically eat only 3 or at most 4 of these steaks in a single meal.

My Jewish roommate insisted we watch this movie (God Bless America) when it came out. One of the most disturbing celebrations of faux-edgy anti-social violence ever put to film. Not because it's ultra violent, but because its reflective of a real hatred that has social approval and thinks its clever. The guy who wrote and directed this went on to be a regular panelist on NPR's biggest comedy show. It's reminiscent of George Carlin's rants fantasizing violence over mundane social slights, an impotent spitefulness within a greater conformity that can only strike out at socially approved, mostly white targets. There's only so many times you can say "imagine if the races were swapped". There isn't even a pretense of trying to benefit society through vigilantism, like right-wing power fantasy of killing criminals or parasites; only the personal grievance of a loser about what kinds of people are popular while he is not.

If you think two policies are bad but one has a chance to destroy the country, then that's the one you should oppose the most.

@GrayConnolly @conor64 @sometherapist Countless times they flipped their positions not due to new data, but because of a mere change in their political calculus (e.g. when they went from saying not to mask to saying to mask). They clearly put manipulating people over honesty, why would we trust them after that?

@ArtemisConsort @annakhachiyan The other factor is the belief that nature has no purpose, and thus that naturally bad consequences are irrelevant to moral judgements.

As a former progressive, this is absolutely accurate and caused me endless frustration with my co-partisans. They fundamentally don’t care if their ideas work. They hardly even have a concept of ideas working. Their entire evaluation function is based on social perception and emotionalism which is, in fact, profoundly selfish and unvirtuous. If you care more about feeling like/being seen as good than you do about results, you’re a selfish parasite. Hardly exclusive to the left, but it defines the leftist project in a way it doesn’t define any other political faction.

@gaitanalyst I don't know why moralists like Greenwald need to insist that they're ALSO cutting-edge political strategists. I enjoy Greenwald's schtick of attacking whoever's in power no matter what, but does he really think that gives him insight into the future?

Nobody knows how it will end but this is all embarrasing cope. The mullahs have played their two cards: shooting at everybody in the vicinity and closing the strait. This ammo is spent now. They can't threaten it, they've already done it. And they haven't detached the gulf states from the US, they've pushed them closer. At this point their only hope is that the US gets bored or distracted or that oil prices get catastrophically bad: but even that doesn't buy them a win, just breathing room. How do you imagine this works if the US halts a bombing campaign? Do you think we apologize and hand them the keys to our F-35s? Do you imagine the sword isn't STILL hanging over their head? Best case scenario for the Iranians is that the US unilaterally declares a cease fire. And the Iranians don't even get to hit us back if we stop bombing them because they know very well that a terror event against Americans just means we gain the political space to hit them much, much harder.
@

Yes, the world -- outside of MAGA and Israel -- knows that the US and Israel are not winning this war right now. For that reason, they can't stop now. The damage of such a defeat would be generational. The huge risk is that the US/Israel escalate out of desperation and panic.

@memeticsisyphus If you hurt your back, and there aren't secondary symptoms like paralysis, incontinence (in which case see a doctor) then the best thing you can do is use it. Lift things, deadlift an empty bar, very slowly add weight. It sounds counterintuitive but it works.

Personally, if I was an elite super genius master game theorist running Iran I would have done the things that kept America from bombing the crap out of us.
Russians With Attitude@RWApodcast

One advantage the Iranians have is that their entire elite seems to consist of 130 IQ polymath combat veterans with PhDs who stormed across minefields with fixed bayonets surrounded by poison gas back in the day and then spent 30 years studying philosophy, game theory, engineering and military science. Average decision-maker quality appears to be dramatically higher than elsewhere, especially qualified for shit-hits-the-fan situations

It’s fascinating that AI psychosis seems to affect such an identifiable Type of Guy. It has something to do with the way LLMs start breaking down and spiraling into nonsense when conversations go on too long and the user keeps pressing, and there’s a certain type of user that’s just smart enough to trust their own intelligence (accepting the LLM’s flattery, confirmation, continuing to dig, etc) but not smart enough to see they’re not uncovering some big secret, they’ve just made the chatbot break.
