I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Website that didn't know what The Good Doctor was until the memes showed up 7 years later: "I know what the American people want"

This.
The opposite of virtue signaling is vice signaling.
I would rather normal people see trans rights as something _worth_ signaling their support for, instead of something they don't particularly care about or actively oppose.

How comfortable would you feel walking through a field if someone told you "We took out most of the mines"

I didn't know there was an organized boycott. I thought we all just decided they suck and we aren't giving them money.

I think a lot about a post by someone who ran a hobby shop of some form (forget if it was a comic shop or Warhammer store or what) that basically said putting up a little rainbow flag sticker on the door was the best business decision they made because they served as That Guy repellants.

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

I was actually acutely aware of the fact that someday people would be nostalgic for the time I was living in, because I watched BTTF2 and saw that in 2015 there would be a Cafe 80s.

When I was a teenager looking for a popsci book about genetics, the most recommended books were by James Watson, Richard Dawkins, and Matt Ridley. What a terrible group of individuals.

Drosophyllum lusitanicum, the Portuguese sundew pine, is one of the most unusual plants of our flora.

A carnivorous plant, its leaves are covered with sticky glands that trap small insects.

This strategy allows it to live in nutrient-poor Mediterranean sandy soils. Rare and localized in Portugal.

The binary thinking of some people really drove me halfway insane. "There's already a genocide so how could it be worse!?!" A genocide that kills twice as many people? Two genocides? It can almost always get worse! 100,000 deaths is a terrible tragedy! 10 Million is much worse!

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS:

TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

"Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Hopefully we can lay this one to rest. If 19 ppg Bam Adebayo can score 83, then surely 50 ppg Wilt Chamberlain can score 100.

That was my take on it, but I don't see other people saying that, so maybe we're just being pessimists.

My reading was that the child being tortured doesn't actually do anything, but I've learned that a lot of people disagree.

I’m not sure what the best metaethical stance is for human beings, but LLMs definitely seem to do best with virtue ethics.

Does modeling behavior for LLMs demonstrate the superiority of virtue ethics to other schools of metaethics?

Fascinating!

I don't think that they bombed a school so that they could blame Claude. I want to be clear that I'm not suggesting that. I do find it interesting, though, that when they bombed a school, they blamed it on Claude and it was just days after publicly stating their intention to destroy Anthropic.

I've been thinking about this, and my recent experience was in line with it. I recently got better information on tissue culture protocols than I have seen in any book or paper. The information is obviously out there already, but the eldritch book demon gave me exactly what I wanted when prompted.
