Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Lashes Out at 'Predatory' Jill Stein
  • What interests does Jill Stein actually represent for the people? The green party has never held a local office and she only ever pops up during the election for fundraising. If the green party actually did anything aside from campaigning for the presidency, no one would have this criticism.

  • Banning TikTok Won’t Keep Your Data Safe | Pompous billionaires, authoritarian regimes, and opaque oligarchs are hoarding our data. Only an alternative online ecosystem will stop them.
  • An alternative, if an alternative could ever even be viable, would just be open to the same corruption and greed. We need regulation and laws to protect privacy and data. Regulate it such that companies are not allowed to retain private and unconsented data without severe legal or financial penalties. Severe enough that companies or individuals that abuse the rights of people are either shut down and dissolved or jailed.

  • I think I might have ADHD
  • Not much to go on, get evaluated by a psychiatrist and then work on getting either or both medicines or therapy to help you manage it.

    Unless you have something more specific that you can say about why you think that you have ADHD or if there's something you need help with, that's about as far anyone can tell you.

  • There are no trans women athletes at the Paris Olympics. So bigots manufactured them.
  • How are you able to believe that. Is there some sort of concrete evidence that everyone else is missing or is it a gut feeling justification?

    The international boxing association Russian president claimed that the DNA results showed two athletes had xy chromosomes but never published the results. That claim only came after Imane, an Algerian boxer, defeated the Russian boxer Azalia, and the claim was used to disqualify Imane's victory.

    Of all the conspiracy theories, isn't it more reasonable that the Russian president wanted to protect the Russian boxer and made up a reason to DQ Imane to ensure that his home country wasn't stained by a loss?

  • There are no trans women athletes at the Paris Olympics. So bigots manufactured them.
  • Imane is literally a cis-gender woman and there's no evidence that she is intersex, trans, or anything that indicates non-normative chromosome or hormone production.

    It is completely fair for her to compete and it's just right wing people who are trying to claim and decide that she's not womanly enough to be considered a woman.

    There are literally no trans people competing in the Olympics this year and only two non-binary competitors. This is all being posed as if the entirety of the Olympics is being skewed by trans competitors when there aren't any and this controversy is just being invented for the sake of affirming control over women.

  • There are no trans women athletes at the Paris Olympics. So bigots manufactured them.
  • Even within the field of physics, I find her a little questionable. She stated once that she thinks falsifiability is overrated. That just flys in the face of testability and verification, which opens up room for any untestable theory or hypothesis to take root.

  • There are no trans women athletes at the Paris Olympics. So bigots manufactured them.
  • The "problem" is that gender is a spectrum and there doesn't exist any real metric to discern or categorize people into a social binary. Honestly, I'm surprised this topic is even popping up again when I thought this was hashed out several years and Olympics ago when right wingers were bringing this up back then. Trying to categorize and disqualify women by testosterone content just doesn't work. This is all ultimately a method of trying to police and control women's bodies.

    In a similar vein, why aren't men looked at in the same manner. Why not say that any particular man either has too much estrogen and is either too womanly or not manly enough to qualify or compete. It's because these people aren't looking for fairness, safety, or any other dog whistle they might cry about. It's all just about controlling women.

  • OpenAI has a 99.9% accurate ChatGPT AI text detector, but won't release it.
  • If they aren't willing to release it, then the situation is no different from them not having one at all. All these claims openai makes about having whatever system but hiding it, is just tobtry and increase hype to grab more investor money.

  • Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"
  • As a counterpoint to this articles counterpoint, yes, engineers should still be held responsible, as well as management and the systems that support negligent engineering decisions.

    When they bring up structural engineers and anesthesiologists getting "blame" for a failure, when catastrophic failures occur, it's never blaming a single person but investigating the root cause of failures. Software engineers should be held to standards and the managers above them pressuring unsafe and rapid changes should also be held responsible.

    Education for engineers include classes like ethics and at least at my school, graduating engineers take oaths to uphold integrity, standards, and obligations to humanity. For a long time, software engineering has been used for integral human and societal tools and systems, if a fuck up costs human lives, then the entire field needs to be reevaluated and held to that standard and responsibility.

  • Are Body Temperature and Depression Linked? Science Says, Yes.
  • I hate articles like this. Implying some sorta of causal relationship with any and all scientific papers that have a correlation between two properties. You can't write that the paper "suggests" lowering body temps would improve depression when the paper only finds a correlation between the two.
