@MaskedHottiee @unMaskedRogue Finding out he lied to me just made me feel exhausted. And there’s nothing I can do. Cause it’s legal for them to do that in my state. Legal for them to lie to us.

@MaskedHottiee @unMaskedRogue I felt bad because I thought by going early I was denying other people their meds when the limit was reached and was outraged that the country didn’t change the law, but also not shocked and didn’t question it for a second cause it made sense and it was a new state.

No I was a pharmacy technician and the pharmacists really did feel like everybody with ADHD was an addict it's wild in retrospect. They would regularly lie about not having scripts in stock and find all types of ways to delay them

@mamaliz1969 @VeryBadLlama That’s awful! if you are at CVS I suggest switching pharmacies. Everything went smoother when I did that at someone else’s suggestion, they add even more issues somehow. It became easier to pinpoint issues after the switch, still difficult but easier.

@VeryBadLlama my daughter with epilepsy has to play a fun game every month where she has to call in a refill and the pharmacy gets it in stock in an impossible game of thread the needle. Often this does not work out and she spends the day fearing seizures instead of at class

"stock up on your prescription medications" ma'am I am on a controlled substance, if I so much as smile too much while I'm picking up a refill they make me swear a blood oath that I'm not selling my meds behind the nearest 7/11

Trump and Israel just dropped bombs on a livestock farm near Tabriz, Iran. Animals are now buried under rubble. This is happening across Iran — they’re destroying food source after food source. This is not accidental. They want to starve civilians into submission.

7 million people participated in a parade last Saturday, most unmasked. What did yall expect to happen?

If you have an Apple Device switch automatic updates off right now otherwise you have to upload age verification in the form of a credit card or driving licence of which I have neither so your device will become a child’s toy. There’s no way around it at the moment.

Covid stays in your gut. Even if you have no signs of illness…… We warned you.

Who's worse? Someone who gives you a jar labeled POISON, or someone who gives you a jar labeled food, which contains poison? This is why White liberals are worse.

This passed weekend I was smoking downtown, this older white lady looked at me crazy so I said “your president is a pedophile” and kept hitting my blunt

This is Indigenous knowledge at work. Instead of borrowing building ideas from the West that is unsuitable to their context they draw on local knowledge. Colonization thwarted so much of this kind knowledge.

"The Romans occupied England in the 5th century, so anyone of Roman descent has a historical claim to the land." It's one of the best sketches I've ever seen, it is so accurate and highlights the situation in Palestine.

the stats here are why the airlines have lobbied against this both in canada and america for ages

Remember when they were going to save the Iranian people

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional. And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it. The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening. This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free. A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action. So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying. Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough. Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation. Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally. The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model. What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

Hind Rajabs words on a mobile phone as Israel was murdering her. ‘“I’m not talking because every time I talk blood comes out of my mouth & makes my clothes dirty and I don’t want my mom to have to clean it.”

This is a crime against humanity. Israel is diabolical. Bombing the Pasteur Institute in Tehran?!? The vaccines produced here eradicated small pox in the whole of the Middle East.
