A kids song about not being racist is, in fact, really fricking racist.

80s TV logic: No matter how far someone falls from, even a plane, they will be perfectly fine as long as someone catches them.

@thor The algorithm is good and bad.. it generally rewards interaction and can prefer devicisve interactions as they tend to get more of a reaction.

a good algorithm however could be great, the key is making sure the user controls it and not exploited by it.

@devnull any proper implementation has postprivacy so a user can select the level of federation.

If a user cant control this it isnt a complete implementation.

@tayfonay Yes as I said, if there is drugs involved then it makes perfect sense there is a link there. I thought they were talking about a visual inspection.

@Belafon

Said nothing of the sort.. PEOPLE are certainly stupid. Blacks no more so than anyone else however.

@swordgeek @georgetakei

@VirginiaMurr

Oh it wasnt just a visual exam but there was medication involved... in that case, yea, makes perfect sense.

I have spent a life time trying to help get people out of homelessness. Many times I have taken homeless people in, given them a home, money for education (if they want to go that route) or other training, and all the support and resources they could need to get on their feet.

My expiuernce is always the same, if you just given them resources without conditions on it without fail they will just waste the resources and do little if anything to get out of the situation. However when reasonable conditions are put on the support, conditions which require the person to become more marketable and skilled, then there is a fairly decent successrate.

My position is simple, I will not enable poor people to keep repeating the same bad habits and perpetuate the problem, even making it worse. If I help someone I make sure I **actually** help and not make things worse through enablement.

If you are in those regimes then its pilot error.

Thats a bit like saying a plane cant land safely if it intentionally nose dives right before landing (picking up too much speed).

Obviously it only works if the airspeed are controlled by the pilot on the way down.

@stux

@stux Interesting and related: did you know a helicopter can land safely from any height even with completely down engines.

@tayfonay I suspect they just said that to placate the patient, but if I am wrong I would be curious to hear what disease they think the examination could have caused and how.

@stux You just need to jump up off the floor of theplane right when it hits down, works every time.

@swordgeek

Quite a few things, but the biggest one is his history of racism.

Not only did he start his career with the primary purpose of keeping segregation alive he even explicitly stated his reason is because he didnt want his children going to school with minorities in a "racial jungle".

Fast forward to today he has shifted from explicit racism to exploiting minorities to advance his own career, which has been quite effective for him.

While I highly doubt the exam had anything to do with it and was clearly just coincidence I think its also obvious the migraines are real.

I cant imagine why the first doctor wouldnt treat the migraines while politely pointing out the exam is unrelated.

@georgetakei At this point I will take pretty much anyone that isnt Trump or Biden.

@scottsantens Support should be conditional, not a free ride. I will always support good conditional welfare programs but UBI is not the right solution or direction to our problems.

@Clementulus We arent talking a self-sufficient lifestype. Or deep forrest living. The price for land I gave wa the average, not the cheapest deep woods price.
