@WildcatSoftworx @HillcrestCardCo How does a missile causing death and destruction make you laugh all day. How sick and retarded are you?

One outcome of this war is now the whole world is learning that Iranians are extremely good at posting.

Injection for Pedophiles with love from IRAN

Holy shit, Iran just released this video!
What are we supposed to think about this?

🇺🇸🇵🇰 Trump says talks are underway to ease Middle East tensions. Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey are leading the push as Gulf countries keep facing Iranian attacks.

@nikitabier This is a massive mistake. The whole point of X is to join conversations globally and learn / discuss. What you’re suggesting here is creating LESS diversity, not more. Terrible.
English

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X:
We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language.
While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform.
We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

@his4Everz Eeh no, it’s not just a few cables that they have access too. There is loads of different cables running between different points in the world with multiple fail safes. If they cut that regional cable nothing happens outside the region. It means absolutely nothing

@aleksbrz11 It will never make sense to have as a solution to elimaore a whole country. Absolutely disgusting

@TheRabbitHole Claude is right in their explanation and it’s just fucking with you to say no.

@SawyerMerritt @carwowuk They sell it as full self drive so it will be reviewed as such. They took money for it for years…
English

Carwow just released a new video to its 11 million YouTube subscribers titled: "Why Tesla Full Self Drive is Pointless!"
@carwowuk misleads its viewers into thinking Tesla’s Autopilot is FSD, even though FSD hasn’t been approved in the UK yet. Autopilot isn’t meant for city driving, yet they test of bunch of scenarios that Autopilot wasn't built to do in the first place....

@SamaHoole They’re definitely out for money and don’t mind selling bad shit. But that doesn’t mean that an elevated LDL does not increase cardiovascular disease risk. That’s well researched.
English

@lusiusborrow Yep, that's pretty much how Big Pharma operates.
English

Doctor: "Your cholesterol is high. I'd like to put you on a statin."
Patient: "What does high cholesterol actually mean for my risk?"
Doctor: "It increases your risk of a cardiac event."
Patient: "By how much?"
Doctor: "Significantly."
Patient: "But how much, specifically?"
Doctor: "Your LDL is elevated."
Patient: "The absolute risk. What is it."
Doctor: "Statins are very well studied."
Patient: "I'd like the number."
Doctor: "Some patients experience muscle pain, memory issues, and elevated blood sugar..."
Patient: "That sounds like the treatment."
Doctor: "These are rare."
Patient: "What's the absolute risk reduction?"
Doctor: "I have a leaflet."
The leaflet is provided by the pharmaceutical company.
The leaflet does not contain the absolute risk reduction.
English

What doctors think statins do:
- Lower dangerous cholesterol
- Prevent heart attacks
- Reduce mortality
- Safe for long-term use
- Worth the minor side effects
- Necessary for anyone over 190 LDL
What statins actually do:
- Block the mevalonate pathway upstream of cholesterol
- Also block CoQ10 (heart energy), Vitamin K2 (bone/arterial health), dolichols (cell signaling)
- Extend life expectancy by 3-4 days over 5 years
- Cause muscle pain, liver damage, cognitive decline in 20% of users
- Treat a symptom while ignoring inflammation and insulin resistance
- Create lifetime pharmaceutical dependency
You're not getting a cholesterol drug.
You're getting a metabolic wrecking ball that happens to lower one number on a panel.
English

@SamaHoole It’s not an absolute number. Research just shows a correlation between high LDL and cardiovascular problems. It’s not that deep

Even bigger irony of getting rich is that everything expensive isn't that much better than when you paid normal for it
Many things are even worse (most expensive luxury hotels are guaranteed worse than regular simple hotels, I know I tried most of them now)
The real reason you wanna get rich is not to buy expensive things
It's so that $1M invested gives you 3% to take out every year with no risk, which is $30,000/year
Which you can use to travel for $1000/mo on a shoestring budget forever without having to back to some desk job with a shitty boss
Aka FREEDOM
@levelsio@levelsio
The irony is that traveling on <$1000/mo is way more fun than >$10,000/mo Luxury travel is extremely boring, comfortable, not challenging, sycophantic (yes sir) Travel on a shoestring budget you get inventive, are forced to meet locals just to survive and get around, have to hitchhike etc I like to combine cheap and luxury travel which keeps my brain from decaying and the contrast actually lets you enjoy both

@snowalgo OpenAI is clearly a better good-faith actor than anthropic.
Apple has a moral compass. None of the others do.
Meta slowly getting better, at least it’s taken care of its oss projects (like react).
