It does not. The legal system has essentially lost the ability to be a check on the power of the executive branch. Partly because of the capture of the judiciary and regulatory bodies by right-wing extremists and partly because of the speed at which the executive branch is acting illegally - it takes time to build cases and the jsutice system can’t keep up.

Yeah he seems like the kind of weirdo who’d want his own son to know whenever he was jackin it. Like if there was an app he could download to make that happen, he’d totally do it.

Recruiters specifically, yeah. Also DEI, but that cratered largely because of the US’ political stance on DEI.

And marketing & sales - that was the largest change because the whole idea was to take advantage of untapped demand

Also engineering - particularly AI related. Thats a big reason the enginnering job market is hot garbage rn

During the pandemic tons of companies hired very large numbers of people in anticipation of increased consumer demand and historically high savings rates in the US and other countries. During the pandemic people counterintuitively burned through cash to the benefit of companies like amazon. When that excess demand cooled (and it still is, especially in the US due to incredibly bad economic policies) those jobs were/are not needed anymore.

Also, volunteer near you! Food distribution on-site, meal delivery, meal prep, etc. Donations are very important, but ultimately they need the labor, too.

Also, even if the volunteer sign up sheet is full, only about 60% - 80% of people show up (at least where I live). So they could likely still use your help distributing food.

Stephen King is not a good writer. He has great story ideas; but, his actual writing is poor and he does weird things that are unsupported by the narrative - like writing sewer gangbang scenes with children so that they can defeat the bad guy with the power of underage eskimo brotherhood.

You can explain that in a less derisive way that sounds a bit more reasonable, but it doesn’t make it a good narrative choice.

Another example is 11/22/63. People on reddit cream their pants over the book, but it’s literally just King self-inserting as the main character so he can (totally uncritically) reminisce over how great small town America was in the 50s/60s and have a fantasy relationship with this incredibly weak/badly-written female character and repeatedly “make poundcake” with her and drink rootbeer floats in diners or whatever. It’s an 800+ page book (paperback is 1049 pages) supposedly about time traveling to stop the Kennedy assassination (which is a cool story idea), but like 700+ pages are filled with asinine garbage and the actual plot is thin and pretty bad.

Yeah I think that’s largely true. Kellog did a number on the mayo race

Since US guys are like 68% circumcised, Jewish folks get circumcised for religious reasons, should be easy to determine that US guys and Jews are like 2x+ as autistic as guys are worldwide

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). They are the ones playing defense against fascism and violations of civil liberties by the US government. This includes immigration, freedom of religion/expression, lgbtq rights, abortion rights, you name it they’ve done it.they are responsible for getting nunerous illegal bills/acts/laws rescinded. They do great work. The sort of work that is foundational to getting the US government on track.

The politically illiterate oxymorons are always really funny to me.

“Radical left democrats” / “Radical liberals” (my fav)

“Marxist Fascists”

“Fascist antifa thugs”

Did they, though?

A handful of them have spines. The guys pictured in the article are purely cartilaginous at best.

AOC would make an amazing VP pick. Could bring a lot of energy to a campaign and get youth/working class support.

Ad hominem fallacy. The person who has been exposed for various things, instead of trying to refute the argument of the accuser (e.g. “they’re misrepresenting the facts”, “I couldn’t have done that here’s an alibi”)

… they just make their own accusations to make others mistrust their accuser. All of the examples you listed were ad hominem attacks against your friend.

Welcome to the garden, please respect the rules.

We have a mo-dest collec-tion, of rare foli-age.

.

We are es-teemed gentlemen, curators of shrubbery;

If you enjoy strolling, splendid! The weather’s lovely.

.

It’s a garden. Welcome to the garden.

Its blooms bring one to one’s n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees

Oh ah, how lovely in Spring

Man the “miracles” he “performed” to get beatified are so fucking thin its ridiculous even for the church. Some kids were supposedly cured of disease after their moms prayed to him. Like…thats it. No jesus image on toast, no statues weeping blood. Just some ladies say they prayed to this random kid and one touched his shirt and their kids happened to get better from some illnesses.

3-4 years

Naturally

ಠ_ಠ

Edit: for everyone saying this is possible natty… maybe if he has incredible genetics. He is young and was untrained so some rapid progress could be expected. But:

1. That does not look like an 85kg teenager to me unless he’s pretty tall. But let’s assume he is 85kg at the start - must be at least 1.85m tall.

2. Estimated ~25% body fat, around 64kg lean mass -> estimated ~10% body fat @ ~99kg lean mass. A gain of 35kg in 3-4 years. 77lbs for my Americans.

3. That would require a lean mass gain of 8.75kg-11.66kg (20.4lbs-27.18lbs) on average per year to achieve. Most beginners can expect as much as 9kg of mass gain in their first year, but that leaves 2-3 years at 8.66kg-13kg of lean mass gain per year.

4. Possible muscle growth rates (naturally) for humans range from ~.25kg - ~.9kg (.5lbs-2lbs) per month but slow with progression - you can’t expect to max out that same rate forever.

5. 35kg in 3-4 years means .73kg -.97kg/month on average.

6. So, sure, maybe it’s possible if this guy has elite genetics and bulked for 3-4 years straight and did the worlds fastest cut right before that after photo was taken… or he got some hormonal assistance and put in the work too. Which is nbd, but it is very doubtful this is natty.

Edit edit: using the Casey Butt Calculator, max lean mass at 185cm is 93kg possible/88kg realistic using wrist/ankle sizes a bit above average (18cm, 24cm). Using massive size wrist and ankle (25cm wrist and 30cm ankle) the max is like 106kg possible/101kg realistic- so if this kid has a huge frame, then maybe he’s natty - and he achieved his lifetime natural maximum in 3-4 years after starting lifting as a totally untrained gamer kid.

That was my first reaction. Using LLMs is a lot like being a manager. You have to describe goals/tasks and delegate them, while usually not doing any of the tasks yourself.
