It often feels like violence.

His donation pledge was more of a flex because he’s increased his net worth more than he has donated. Also, people who were friends with Epstein should not get to decide where that money goes.

The guy is on the Epstein list and his wife left him because he was too friendly to the guy…

He also fucked over our public education system

He’s fucking Grok, isn’t he?

Which should be solved by passing a living wage not by cutting food stamps…

I wish when Democrats brought up how silly purity tests are they would use your comment as an example. People eating is more important than starving a corporation.

I’ve seen food stamps used at farmer’s markets, SNAP doesn’t dictate who or how people grow food, that’s a different issue. But hey I guess the situation will improve now that SNAP is being halted, right? /s

Are SNAP benefits are a corporate conspiracy in this world you describe?

My guy, I would repeat myself as well if I thought it would help.

if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

That’s just it, if you’re talking to someone who’s is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it’s mostly platitudes.

I’ll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I’m not sure if I have the words but I’ll try.

It’s less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead, but the social & political context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.

half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.

If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire or a D&D play group

Actually reminds me of some lines from a closing of a comedy act on this very topic: https://youtu.be/JdJwzSsLWZM

Instead of talking about all the things you loose for standing up for the right thing, talk about all the things you gain.
