Can we calculate how many animals have not been consumed / not force bred because of @DaveRamsey constantly saying for people to eat solely rice and beans. Is he one of the great animal welfare’s of the 20th century.

@ChrisExpTheNews it’s laughable how easy (especially online) community college classes are. Appalling and saddening because it’s screwing some of my classmates

AP is stuck in the same arms race. High school kids can take online 101 courses at community college and chatgpt their way to an A. At some point you have to be able to sell kids and parents on "take the harder class and not guaranteed credit", and you can only make it so hard

@OrthodoxOrigen big bucks I just put most my stuff into ETFs like Charles Schwab’s emerging markets. something to look at and long term you can expect growth regardless basically

@breadphobic2 I have partial shares in Target and Apple and a few ETFs. I’m a full share holder in Levi’s though.

I am officially a shareholder. I will make sure to vote in favor of woke initiatives. Used part of my Tax return to buy shares in woke companies.

@OrthodoxOrigen sign of a potential recession was gdp growth being revised from 2.7 to 1.4 to 0.7%

@breadphobic2 -$0.62 isn’t horrible. But yes several reds on the SE is a sign of potential recession

Should I buy in on junk stocks?

@LinkofSunshine outside of the rural West Virginia stat I was unaware of everything else is boring but I’d like a real person to do something on it

The dinergoth piece is about 20% interesting observations mixed with 80% weird offputting venting about a subculture he only knows though the venting about the ex-girlfriend who dumped him

@coolkid147 @gabrielgdc_ @JoestarJokic basketball fans are too unwoke to believe in equality across the divisions like that unfortunately. 10 seed lakers and Knicks will be in forever and ever

@breadphobic2 @gabrielgdc_ @JoestarJokic Also the nba has to make division matter again. Since they’ll be 32 teams it should be laid out just like the nfl. The top 4 seeds in the playoffs are all division winners.

grizzlies move I’ll lose my mind

@gabrielgdc_ @JoestarJokic Minneapolis has a rivalry with Milwaukee Detroit and Chicago in the NFL and with Chicago and Detroit in MLB. If the teams are all good it would be a lot of fun to see a playoff series between any of them.

@JoestarJokic Timberwolves today would be the best choice, but who knows the league’s landscape in 3 years lol

@Alia184629 What’s the purple comely

FUCK

@morallawwithin Leto Atreides

we need to talk about homicidal empathy

This is entirely distinct from sports gambling of course

It’s crazy that Kalshi lets teens do parlays

@transjawnder it’s a complete capitulation on what taxes are to the right

@InVitroFuture it’s incredible how much worse ChatGPT is at basic tasks than Claude

Trying to get my institutional ChatGPT-5.2 Thinking account to rework some proposal aims and I have to say my p(doom from AI-developed bioweapon) is plummeting

@Dizzvegas @sheilatebra probably one of these

@sheilatebra Ya, what bar in Kenya was this at?

Anonymous Young kid on a first date tonight. Maybe 22. ​I dropped off the check. His card declined. Insufficient Funds. ​He turned red. She stared at her phone, silence growing. I took the machine back, saying loudly: ​​"Sorry man, our Wi-Fi is down. Machine's acting up. This round is on the house. Just get the next one." He looked at me like I’d taken a bullet for him. I’ve been that broke kid. I know that panic. Sometimes my job isn't selling drinks. It’s protecting my customers dignity.

@OrthodoxOrigen food has gotten a lot better

Smoking is less common and less air pollution in dense urban areas. Food hasn’t gotten much better, processed foods have probably gotten worse. Alcohol doesn’t have a strong correlation with hair loss.

@morallawwithin 2? The fantasy, obviously, andpoem?

Contentious interpretation. Really, the AI was objectively better in 2 of 6 cases

so I really don’t get how you agree with the latter and become extremely against liberalism to the point of preferring anything > liberalism. I think it’s more a virtue-signaling thing than anything else

generally I think the principles of liberalism are true (obviously), and the exploitative practices of capitalism (e.g carnism) are illiberal, acting against these principles.
