I don't get greed. If I had Bezos cash, I'd be fixing a problem every week. Homelessness? Not on my watch. Hungry kids in school? No way. Animal shelters full? I'll build 10,000 more.

@Aelthemplaer Does this mean that the experiments testing the transmissibility of viruses from animals to humans, ie gain of function research, are progressing very well?

@Sxnt1_Sxndxval U should have done it in a more practical, less self-absorbed manner: Get him a place to stay temporarily while he figures himself out. Not throw him into a street with bags and no money to become society's problem.

Ayer cambié todas las cerraduras de mi casa y dejé las maletas de mi hijo de 30 años en la vereda, y ahora mi esposa dice que no puede volver a mirarme a la cara. Mi hijo terminó la universidad hace seis años y, desde entonces, no ha mantenido un solo trabajo por más de tres meses porque dice que "el ambiente es tóxico" o que "no valoran su talento". Se pasa el día jugando videojuegos, duerme hasta las 2 de la tarde y espera que su madre le lave la ropa y le cocine como si tuviera 10 años. Me harté. Hace un mes le di un ultimátum: o conseguía cualquier empleo y pagaba una renta simbólica, o se iba. Ayer llegué a casa y lo encontré pidiendo comida por una app con la tarjeta de crédito de mi esposa. En ese momento exploté. Aproveché que salió al gimnasio (que también pago yo) para sacar sus cosas y llamar a un cerrajero. Mi esposa está llorando desconsolada en el sofá diciendo que "lo puse en peligro" y que es un acto de crueldad echar a un hijo a la calle sin ahorros. Yo digo que a los 30 años no eres un niño, eres un hombre funcional que se aprovecha del amor de su madre, y que si no le cierro la puerta hoy, va a ser un inútil toda la vida. ¿Soy un padre desalmado por aplicar "amor duro" o mi hijo es un manipulador que necesitaba este golpe de realidad? Los leo en los comentarios. (Historia anónima)

So the big Sandton law firms are fighting the transformation agenda in the legal fraternity. What are the black lawyers who work in these law firms saying about this!?

@skhumali @SizweLo @ewnupdates Noted. So if i use AI to develop a text, then cross check for validity (and am able to prove this cross checking exercise took place), is it reasonable to then be accused of using AI to develop instead of using my own 'thinking'...

@JohnGraciousian @SizweLo @ewnupdates No, it can be a probability but never absolute because it is all about model training. Clearly government and most ppl don’t know this. The key therefore is cross checking information for validity but you can never truly detect usage.

THINGS YOU MOST LIKELY WILL NOT REGRET DOING Studying more. Drinking more water. Being more honest. Going to bed early. Meditating more. Quitting a job you absolutely hate. Being kind to a stranger. Taking a break when you need one. Looking after your body. Crying when you need to. Putting yourself first. Leaving your comfort zone. Hugging someone you love. Trying out new things. Telling your loved ones how much you care. Taking care of your mental health. Trusting your intuition.

No one warned me that working a 9-5 job basically means you cannot see the dentist, doctor, or handle any appointments, because you are at work when they are open, and when you get off work, they are closed.

@Qhama__B GDP growth has always been inadequate as a measure of the general living standards/quality of life.... If anything, this period was the precursor to deeper inequality, with poor trickle down of the fruits of the economy, with 2008 serving as a reality check

@SizweLo @ewnupdates Surely there must be an AI use threshold that determines if the text can be considered AI-developed or AI-assisted development.

Mark Cuban says Elon f#cked up Twitter "First of all, Twitter X is such a cesspool now. It's a shithole. Instagram and Tik Tok are still chill where you can mess with people and have fun, but you just can't do it on Twitter" "The way it works is called the nearest tree algorithm. If you are a big user on X and you have a lot of followers and those followers engage with you, then not only does your stuff get elevated but all the people you engage with get elevated" "So when Elon interacts with some of these crazy people, their stuff gets elevated and the people that they talk to gets elevated"

@BafanaSurprise What is the purpose of such a conversation and the desired outcomes? Many places are staffed by 'experts' whose qualifications are not questioned yet their work has not yielded positive results for many people in spite of its promises, like central banks.

We need to have an honest conversation about ghost writers in Universities. People graduate without even writing a single assignment or examination. They later get awarded senior positions in private institutions or government, then become incompetent. And we then wonder what’s wrong.

My boyfriend told me they urgently want to hire someone at his workplace. They tasked him with finding that person. He asked me to assist him since I'm active on social media. My baby daddy has been unemployed for almost two years now. My boyfriend doesn't know him and he doesn't know my boyfriend either. Would it be wrong to recommend my baby daddy? I'll tell my boyfriend he's just someone I know from social media. I just want him to assist with taking care of our child. Do you think it's risky? I stay with my boyfriend full time. He helps with my child but we don't know what the future holds.

If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States. Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence. King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.

1/2 Submitted public comment on SA’s draft Capital Flow Management Regulations. The crypto asset provisions treat Bitcoin as a foreign financial instrument. It isn’t: no issuer, no foreign denomination, no foreign monetary policy. Privacy, constitutional, and innovation harms 📈

Videos of the incident are circulating, showing children witnessing their parents being shot. Sharing this is deeply irresponsible and harmful. It retraumatises families, violates dignity, and turns tragedy into content.
Yusuf Abramjee@Abramjee

JUST IN: A fatal shooting linked to an apparent road rage incident has been reported in Emmarentia, JHB. Initial information indicates that an argument following a minor bumper-bashing escalated into violence. A couple was shot, with the husband declared dead at the scene. The wife has been transported to hospital in a critical condition.
