I wonder if democrats even realize that even if they are objectively the best choice, the overwhelming toxicity from that community to any level of criticism results in massive number of voters who are going to vote for trump purely as an emotional response to being mistreated by the community.. purely out of spite.

In fact at this point I think Democrats and the way they treat people is probably the only real reason Trump is part of the landscape at all.

@freemo @josemanuel i know it's just a figure of speech but i think it's not good to call this behavior childish. children have to (and are eager to) learn how the world works. they engage in such make-believe games as a means of learning about reality. it's the polar opposite of these people which have reduced the world to a delusion.

> And then you also realize that every single immigrant at our border IS SEEKING ASYLUM right?

Irrelevant how many want asylum. In order to be an asylum seeker you must apply. You **are** allowed to enter illegal to apply, so you arent illegal the moment you enter. But once you've been here for some time without applying for asylum you are no longer an asylum seeker, you are just an illegal immigrant at that point.

So again, I have no problem with them entering and seeking assylum with the government after entering, that is perefectly legal. But those who never register absolutely should either be deported, or at least forced through the process to determine if they.

And no, not everyone entering the border is an asylum seeker. Many are im sure, you saying just because someone entered illegal they are 100% asylum seekers is absolute lunacy.

> And frankly prosecuting FUCKING HUMANS FOR WANTING A BETTER LIFE TURNS MY STOMACH

Turns mine too, Im all for giving them an appropriate legal path to help.

I dont know who needs to hear this.. but you can actually disagree with someone, have a debate, remain peaceful, and if you still disagree in the end you dont have to actually rage quit and block them. You can.... wait for it.... just disengage and walk away.

Not everyone has to agree with you about everything.

the nice thing about my ADHD is that if my apartment is haunted I will literally never notice it

“silly me, always leaving these cupboards and drawers open and the sink running at full blast,” I say, as a frustrated ghost screams into a pillow in the corner

LOL

Them: "Hey lets stop talking"
me: "Ok, bye"
Them: "BLARG how dare you speak to me, BLOCKED!"

LOL cant even make this shit up with these idiots.

@freemo Thanks for the criticism and for ignoring that I requested the conversation end. Blocking you (which I'm doing partially because you prom...

Many years ago I made a conscious decision to stop correcting typos and spelling mistakes in my casual semi-real-time communication. Basically chats, messaging, and social media. It was a conscious effort I made after years of being pedantic about my spelling.

Because I can type very fast correcting my spelling before sending would usually mean x3 the amount of time wasted on messaging. In fact I was so weird about it people would remark when id correct myself after the fact how they knew what iw as saying so it wasnt needed.

Since I made the choice I realize this was the smartest thing I could have done for one reason I didnt expect. I mean sure it saves me time in casual communications where formality isnt important. But it also filters out a very certain type of people, the kind who assume typos determine the value of your message. Like there are actually people who will say "he had typos/misspellings, therefore he must be the one is wrong"... its astounding but its common. I realized eliminating these people from my feed has left a much better quality crowd who are much more productive and enjoyable to interact with.

@augieray The interpritation here isnt a great one.

The wording is proper to say that we expect arithmetic growth but get exponential. But it is incorrect when the section starts with "in other words"... We do not **underestimate** the risk in approach, we misunderstand the growthrate of approach. This isnt the same because a linear growth can exceed an exponential growth during the relevant range of the function.

I attached an image as an example. Here I picked an agressive exponent to show the effect more clearly, the plot is of x vs x^5. Notice how during most of the graph the linear one actually significantly exceeds the exponential. This is my point, seeing linear growth will actually "overestimate" the danger of covid as you close distance not underestimate it, at least at first.

@freemo @mcnado LOL his bio literally says "combating medical disinfo". I will never trust someone who says that ever again (not that I did anyway, but now I have a reason).

real armor is curved so hit slide off to the side. This leaves plenty of room for boobs in mens armor. Of course women were almost never on the battle field for reasons that are not sexism, but I'm sure many modern women would insist on large boob spaces for vanity reasons even though it isn't needed and makes armor worse.

@mcnado

I just double checked your study... its worse than I thought, you are even misrepresenting the study in what your saying here now.

You are citing upwards of an 80% figure, that is NOT what the study says. It says that in patients who were hospitalized with covid (so people who had extremely unusually bad casis) have upwards of the 80% figure. That is NOT saying 80% of all people with covid.

So turns out this was a much worse and damning misrepresentation on your part than I first thought. Given your credentials I'd go so far as to say its a lie and deceptive the way you stated it based onn the very source you used.

I want to create a factually accurate RPG. It would still be filled with wizards, its just that their magic doesnt actually do anything but they are all too stupid to realize magic isnt real. So your fighters are left to fight all the battles alone while the wizards pretend to cast spells but are completely useless.

@freemo also with wizards and such! :blobwizard:

Wow! I just learned the story of an amazing colleage:

chasingmycure.com/

I'm a patient with a deadly illness that has nearly killed me five times, and I'm also a physician-scientist racing to discover a cure before my time runs out.

Thanks to a drug that I discovered to treat my disease and began testing on myself, I'm currently in my longest remission ever and was able to have a beautiful daughter (2018) and son (2021) with the love of my life.

I dedicate my life to advancing cures for Castleman disease and many more diseases through Every Cure, spreading our innovative approach to other diseases.

I am watching the new movie The little mermaid. I am really enjoying how they used factually accurate (And in some cases not very well known) sea creatures. They also put a lot of attention into making their movements more or less accurate as well.

I was particularly excited to see the feather stars.

That said they arent region appropriate, I dont think I recall ever seeing a feather star in the Caribbean. I can let it slide :)

Having a horseshoe theory moment, because the far left is equally stupid. It tries to keep everyone safe in much the same authoritarian fashon.

Interesting fact of the day: There is a theory in various forms that basically goes something like: We literally can not see that which we lack the language to describe. It was largely used as a theory around color and stems from the fact that before we had as many words for colors as we do today people would describe things as if implying they literally couldnt see the colors that lacked words. For example int he Iliad and the Odyssey the water was described as "purple like wine" because we had not yet had a word for blue.
