That’s because Jordan Peterson is one of the entry points to the alt-right rabbit hole. Despite being from Canada, his brand of grift is intricately tied to U.S. politics. If you have a very short amount of time, some people have put together some very short videos talking about Peterson:

Sometimes I buy CDs and rip to flac so that really obscure shit doesn’t get lost forever.

Things will not calm down, Daniel Jackson. They will, in fact, calm up.

Badge of honor.

U.S. has been complete shit for the last 8 years, but somehow we haven’t collapsed and life goes on as usual. So I’m usually pretty skeptical of specific predictions (though the trends are worth paying attention to).

Absolutely. As far as solar goes, one statistic I like to point out is that China added more solar panels last year than the U.S. has in its entire history.

I mean, scandals like this and “chabuduo” attitude putting health & safety at risk is really nothing new in China. I agree with you in general that certain parts of China are in decline / potential to collapse. Especially economy & environment. But speaking from a U.S. perspective, other aspects are enviable, like public transit.

I’m just saying that I wouldn’t necessarily hold this specific incident up as an example of collapse.

As I understand, usually without references they will want to verify you in some way. Checking employment, for example.

Then you would need sex worker A who accepted you as a client via some kind of verification to also be willing to refer you to sex worker B.

In places where it’s illegal there are still independent & professional escorts, but they want references or some kind of assurance that you’re not LEO or someone crazy who’s going to hurt them.

I would probably be fine with TSA as a jobs program, except I really don’t like being yelled at by power tripping agents just for taking my laptop out, or for leaving it in my bag. Because no airport is the same and they all seem to make things up when it comes to policy. To be fair most agents are pretty chill, but some out there definitely enjoy the power trip.

Damn I think this might somehow be worse than the Iowa county who had physical pen testers arrested: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/01/iowa-prosecutors-drop-charges-against-men-hired-to-test-their-security/

They also sell rubber horse stall mats which are way cheaper to buy than actual flooring if you’re building a home gym. There are other places to get horse stall mats though.

Remember that the burden is on them to show it. But the reality is that when they bring up irrelevant shit like that and try to say that your issue isn’t covered under warranty, it will be on you to “remind” them of that burden, and tell them that what they are trying to do is absolutely fucking illegal under Magnusson-Moss.

I mean, it’s all relative. For example, in 2024 there’s still places where basic software practices like git and ci/cd are “cutting edge”. I’m not saying those are usually the best places to work, but there are places out there still working on stuff like cloud migrations where the work culture is chill you can be pretty well valued for having some basic knowledge about best practices.

My impression is it seems most doctors are honestly way too busy to have time to read a paper, even if they have the best of intentions. The “can’t be arsed” is more of an institutional problem. I work in tech and if I said I spent the entire day reading & trying to understand something new, nobody would bat an eye, but doctors don’t have that luxury.

I mean Lemmy is also a bit of a cesspool at times, but it’s home now at least.

But the idea isn’t to keep anyone from seeing it. The idea is simply for a lusty image not to be used in academic papers (probably also better that it’s not used in college classes too).

I love pictures of scantily clad women more than almost anyone. But even I can agree that the Lena image sends the wrong message to women joining the field.
