  • Honestly I get your frustration. Feeling like you’re being hidden away…

    But I think you’re taking what you’ve got for granted. It sounds like your family is fairly liberal and well-meaning, but that doesn’t mean her’s is.

    Even in the west, religious conservatism can get nasty real quick (especially for woman), so I can absolutely see why she might be scared to tell her family.

    She probably doesn’t like hiding you in the shadows any more than you do - you should be careful putting your feelings over her well-being.





  • In theory Nitrogen suffocation should be incredibly humane. Nitrogen gas is incredibly dangerous in the workplace exactly because the human body is incapable of noticing it displacing air. It can kill you without you even noticing until you keel over dead.

    Problem is when you shove a mask on someone’s face and pump nitrogen into it, that’s not what you’re doing…

    That doesn’t displace the air the executed was breathing, because the air has nowhere to go, so it just mixes with the Nitrogen gas. The O2 gets used up and CO2 builds up until they die, which is basically normal suffocation (which is incredibly inhumane) with a side of Nitrogen gas.

    To do it properly, you’d need to a much bigger chamber so that the air in the executed’s lungs would be easily displaced, or a way to filter the CO2 out of the air they’re breathing… But who’s got time for that, when you can just torture prisoners with something that should be humane and pretend you have no idea why it “doesn’t work properly” /s


  • LLMs are made to mimic how we speak, and some can even pass the Turing test, so I’m not surprised that people who don’t know better think of these LLMs as conscious in some way or another.

    It’s not a necessarily a fault on those people, it’s a fault on how LLMs are purposefully misadvertised to the masses



  • Customs and Border Protection said in an emailed statement, “Arriving aliens bear the burden of establishing admissibility to the United States.”

    One, that language is a solid ick.

    Two, while it may be true that she has to prove admissability…

    A notice of court order violation filed Saturday said CBP “had actual notice of this Court’s order and willfully disobeyed this Court’s order.” It further requested an order to return Alawieh to Massachusetts immediately and to schedule an emergency hearing as soon as practicable.

    … What the fuck is she meant to do when they refuse to accept her documents (a valid passport and H-1B visa), and then deport her in spite of an explicit court order??

    Tell you what Nicole is really dedicated to making friends on here. Messaged just about everybody, with multiple accounts even. Definitely nothing suspicious about that /s

    The fact that they’re still doing this means people are falling for it, and I feel sorry for those people, cause this scam is clearly designed to prey on those who feel lonely and are too naive to know better



  • Man that bird was living a straight up nightmare.

    And from the comments I saw it gets worse for this bird - apparently after the bird flew off, the scientist who captured this call played it back to check they had recorded it properly, only for the bird to come back and start calling again.

    These scientists accidentally played the cruelest prank imaginable on this poor bird, and it was likely not smart enough to ever realise it.

    Like imagine living years of your life desperately calling out to someone, anyone, and you finally hear someone - you desperately rush over, but there’s there’s nobody there. You’re sure you heard someone, but there’s nothing, except you.


  • As far as the companies go, their lack of resources is an entirely self-inflicted problem, because they’re won’t invest in increasing those resources, like more IT infrastructure and staff. It’s the same as many companies that keep terrible backups of their data (if any) when they’re not bound to by the law, because they simply don’t want to pay for it, even though it could very well save them from ruin.

    The crowdstrike incident was as bad as it was exactly because loads of companies had their eggs in one basket. Those that didn’t recovered much quicker. Redundancy is the lesson to take from this that none of them will learn.
