“Whoever is doing the thinking is doing the learning.”

By asking artificial intelligence to do tasks that otherwise take minimal brain function, you are literally sacrificing the neural pathways your brain has built in order to do that task.

Imagine a world in which AI suddenly disappears. All of the skills you left to AI would essentially need to be relearned. That would be far more inconvenient than just taking care of the task yourself.

Somehow we did not became juvenile delinquents or drug addicts, although later, like probably 90% high school students, I was familiar with the cheap and rather horrible Algerian red wine called " Gellala". Don't recall any difficulties with boying the wine, theoretically the should exist? 🤔

parents DRIVING you somewhere was unheard of

“HAIL MARY Full of Grace KICK I.C.E. Out of This Place”

don’t argue with or challenge the delusion—attempting to disprove someone’s delusions is not helpful at all and will result in that person not trusting you

assure the delusional person that they are safe; be open and honest at all times

encourage them to verbalize their feelings and offer protection to prevent injury to themselves or, possibly, others

start building a trusting relationship with them rather than acting on a desire to control their symptoms

do not confirm or feed into the delusion by asking questions about it when the person is not experiencing a psychotic episode

"The House on Wednesday approved the bill, which would impose felony penalties of up to 10 years in prison on physicians who provide puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or surgical care to patients under 18 for the purpose of gender transition. Introduced by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, the bill would also expose parents and others who consent to or help minors access that care to criminal liability.

The legislation passed by a vote of 216 to 211. As McBride and Balint predicted, three Democrats — Texas Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, and North Carolina Rep. Don Davis — voted in favor of the bill. However, they were successful in pushing four Republicans to vote against: Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, New York Rep. Mike Lawler, Utah Rep. Mike Kennedy, and Colorado Rep. Gabe Evans."

If one of those four Republican representatives is yours, might be worth giving their office a call or dropping them a note to thank them for their vote.

"Several states (including California, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin) have announced that they’ve begun processing full food stamp payments."

and then this kid, this one kid who is always very eager to answer questions and is always kind to his classmates, raised his hand looking a little bothered. now for context, i emphasize thinking for yourself in my classroom, even if that means disagreeing with something i say and he has echoed some stuff that his parents clearly have told him before. he's not a bad kid or an asshole, he's just an 18 year old with conservative parents who otherwise knows nothing about politics. but he just looks so bothered after i explain this about dirty arguing techniques. big frown on his face. looking unsure. when i nod at him to speak, he says, in a very quiet voice, "didn't -- didn't charlie kirk used to do that?"

and i was like. well yes. yes he was famous for stuff like this.

and then the kid looked down and was just like, "oh. i thought he was just really good at debating. i never watched his videos though, only clips. why would he do that?"
