The famous 'men leave sick wives' narrative needs to die. People inadvertently Psyop themselves by reading headlines. - The Karraker & Latham paper that popularized it was retracted for coding errors. After recalculation, they found NO statistically significant gender difference in divorce after illness (except in heart disease) and concluded they 'fail to reject the null hypothesis.' - The Cancer reference is from a 2009 (Glantz) study, which did find a 6/7-fold disparity when the patient was female. But crucially: they never recorded, or even tried to determine, who filed/initiated divorce (separation). The authors merely inferred “partner abandonment” from the pattern of who was sick, not from documentation of who filed the papers. To be clear, it's not unreasonable to assume that the sick partner would not initiate divorce, but we should be honest that we don't know, because it simply wasn't measured. We do know two things 1. Base priors - women initiate divorces more often than men. So we should factor that in when looking at the numbers (at least do a bayesian revision). 2. Anecdotally, sick partners have divorced the healthy partner. Molly Kochan did this, and talked about it in her book Dying for Sex. While Molly's case was extreme, it is possible for the sick partner (the woman) to initiate the divorce because the healthy partner (the man) is not capable of caring for her as well as she needs. But beside that, context matters enormously. I don't know how much weight we should place on the Glantz study. Glantz studied 515 patients with severe, rapidly-progressing brain tumors/MS at ONE hospital, with Only 60 divorces in total. That is what this study is based off of. Meanwhile, population studies tell a different story: 1. In the more recent Karraker study there was no overall gender difference; and a small effect for wives' heart disease only 2. Multiple studies of breast cancer - a female-specific cancer - actually show a different story Germany: 108 patients, ZERO divorces after 1 year Sweden: 4,761 patients, same divorce risk as healthy women Finland: 3,225 patients, no difference over 10 years Denmark & Norway: 8% LOWER divorce risk 3. Denmark (Carlsen 2007) studied 46k survivors, All-cancer divorce risk was statistically indistinguishable. Norway (Syse & Kravdal 2007) studied 1.4M couples (215k with cancer) and found most cancers showed small declines in divorce for both men and women. When we do see increased divorce risks in cancer illness are gender-specific, fertility-linked cancers (cervical for women, testicular for men). Those raise divorce for the patient, not just the wife. To be clear, gendered caregiving burdens are real and worth addressing. But the rhetoric that 'men abandon, women stay' is a gross oversimplification from absolutely shoddy data at worst, or weak data at best. The broader data shows most marriages survive serious illness regardless of which partner is sick. One small, extreme study shouldn't define the narrative about millions of couples facing illness together.

@LilMeatLol @EnjoyBBall I wish I could downvote this

@EnjoyBBall Act like it’s so hard to record a video 💀

Kenny took a break from Darrick’s wedding to film a KennyFR video. Dedication.

@SM_TechB3aute @Tsartheripper We’ve done that before several times and the ytppl have came and destroyed it. The system works as intended with them hiring their unqualified brothers and sisters. They see other/attempts to hire other as threats and DEI.

@Tsartheripper See. We the marginalized group need to build something of our own and utilized nepotism like they do.

I mean we been said this. THEY ARE HIRING THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. They can be under qualified, while you are qualified and they will still hire their friends/family. Why be surprised? 😂

after you finish university around 22, you immediately go from cute student 😇 to unemployed MAN 🤢 which is why you need to get all your mistakes out quickly as soon as possible socially awkward? get the reps in before people start labeling your inexperience as character flaws

I thought this was a joke man I had to see it for myself.

@MidKnight_Snax @JackMac Yea I still don’t buy it, however they are signed off statements and he is being represented by a ‘respected’ law firm. These witnesses must have been paid a large sum. How Lorna is being portrayed doesn’t match with her online footprint

@JackMac So the new witnesses are this guy’s cousin and his landlord? All of the same ethnicity? And this white woman is just following him all over the city as if she has nothing better to do? Do you people know how many hours a week investment bankers work?

Update on JP Morgan lawsuit: Lawsuit was re-filed in Manhattan today, this time with more allegations against Hajdini. Included are signed affirmations from witnesses, including from a man who was sleeping on the couch of John Doe one night when Hajdini allegedly stormed in. She then lit a cigarette, stripped, and asked him to join in on a threesome. The NY Post also reported today that Rana (who they say is John Doe) made up the death of his father for bereavement leave. MORE:

He put all his money in a trust and lives off of loans from the money made from investments. Essentially you take out loans from the trust and live on that.

If you’ve ever worked in finance, you know women like this are a force of nature, especially at top-tier banks. They might not be the “rainmaker” bringing a deal in, but they’re often the ones making sure the deal actually gets done, the client gets their win, and the bank gets its fees. They’re smart, hard-working, usually the most focused and disciplined person in the room, and utterly ruthless. If you’re capable and you show them professional respect, they will move mountains for you. If you’re lazy, dumb, or a roadblock, though, they won’t hesitate to steamroll you and leave your body in an alley behind the building. The definition of no better friend, no worse enemy. You’d have to to be insane to pick a fight with someone like this, especially if the facts of the case aren’t completely on your side. We’re not even 24 hours into this story and it’s already clear the guy who tried dragging this woman through the mud is likely the dumbest dude who’s ever had a job on Wall Street. He truly has no idea what he’s done or what he’s in for.

Turns out the story of the year was just...made up. and it gets worse. - John Doe is Chirayu Rana, 35, now a principal at Bregal Sagemount. he left JPMorgan and went straight to private equity. - The whole "threaten his bonus" premise collapsed. Hajdini reported to a completely different managing director than Rana. she had no say over his compensation. - JPMorgan pulled phone records, reviewed emails, interviewed the full team. found nothing. Rana even refused to participate in his own investigation. - A colleague described Rana as "socially awkward" but someone who "met the requirements" to stay at the bank. - Before any lawsuit, he tried to negotiate a payout in the "millions" to leave the bank quietly. they didn't bite. - He filed court filing, then his lawyers retracted it for "corrections" and deleted it. But the Daily Mail already ran the whole thing and the rest twitter did its thing. so he tried to get paid, didn't, then filed a now-retracted complaint against someone who couldn't touch his bonus. wild. feel terrible for her and her family.

@KOT4Q Two salty men 💅 (bitches) on a podcast whining about black excellence.

This is weird. Dont hate the player, hate the game.

@prettygirllkinn @desi0re Women go to bat for poorly behaved women so easily. Reverse the roles here, he would be getting dragged dummy “if he wanted to he would”

@desi0re Umm… she’s responding and answering your questions completely 😭😭😭I’m confused

BRO DIS HOE IS SO DRY WHAT THE HELL

@1ofyourevilexes @TheBlackHokage Said the same. The resync looks like it’s completely devoid of the target identity. While they are both bright periods of day, the original has more depth (rolling storm, cloudiness, better character detail) in comparison

@TheBlackHokage Is it me… or does the original look better?

@PeeWeeDaPlug FAWKKKK

PUT THAT LIL BABY ASS BOY IN THE BASKET CAP!!

@TheAmolAvasare @edzitron “This is a test” The test being to enshittify your product and remove a feature previously promised to pro users ? You’re making it seem like an experimental ft is being added which doesn’t seem to be the case.

@edzitron @edzitron this is a test we're running on a small slice of new prosumer users only, no impacts to existing users x.com/TheAmolAvasare…

It appears that Anthropic has removed Claude Code from its $20-a-month pro subscription based on its pricing page. Anyone able to confirm who has a $20 plan? claude.com/pricing

@Influenzars @IncomeSharks @pepemoonboy And companies are realizing that AI is getting too expensive in terms of compute and are rehiring. So we went in a circle and wasted billions along the way, nice

@IncomeSharks @pepemoonboy Single parents with multiple jobs and a side hustle? Is that what's called Living the American Dream? As a side note, companies are not really replacing SE with AI, but rather giving AI to the ones that they didn't fire and hoping they are able to keep up.

Guys, please listen to what I am saying. You need to finds ways to make additional income outside of your 9-5. Layoffs are accelerating at a rapid pace. 3 of my closest friends, all in the IT industry, just got laid off in the past few weeks. They have no plan. No side gig. No savings. Please, do not ignore this warning. IT companies are the first to integrate AI to automate roles. Every other industry will follow suit soon. It is only a matter of time. Protect yourself. It’s coming.

@IncomeSharks @pepemoonboy It’s always victim blaming, but ignore politicians enriching themselves on the American dime. Products get shittier over time, but we can never complain about corporations. It’s your $5 coffee in the morning.

@IncomeSharks @pepemoonboy “Sacrifice all your hobbies to live in a country where layoffs are the norm and wages have not kept pace with productivity gains and are instead sequestered by c-suite” We are going to be doomed by bootlicking individuals who continue to ignore that the system is broken

@websloprat @ashtilawat @gauntletai The ccat is a bullshit exam used to ‘approximate’ aptitude and iq; iq tests which have been known to only test biased Eurocentric learning and not actual acuity. Consider it a blessing that you’re passing up on this bull. When the ai bubble pops, you won’t be holding the bag

@ashtilawat @gauntletai bro i couldnt pass a ccat even if i studied for it sorry man

Meet Henry. He's graduating from @gauntletai Cohort 4 next week... And he's already got partners competing for him. - One's buying him a cow. - Another's sending Dom Pérignon. Want to be Henry? AI engineers are landing $200K+ offers straight out of the program. Cohort 5 applications are open now.

it is confirmed, we reached AGI

He’s so mad because the guy is right
