The political vibes are really grim right now for the pro-immigration crowd.
If you believe (correctly) that immigration is a huge positive for society, it's hard not to be discouraged by how easily the public can turn against that.

I don’t see a place simply as empty land and a GDP that could be higher. I happen to actually like America and think it should remain America; modern immigration policy doesn’t contribute to protecting America - or even to making the median person’s life better off.
Key point to remember in the Ukraine aid context:
Europe should *take the lead* in its own security. That means a 50%-50% breakdown between the US and Europe in support isn't the right one. Europe *should do more.* It's their own frontyard! 1/

don’t you think it’s dangerous to leave this order next to someone who might steal it?
or are you so racist you don’t think white people steal food? 🤨
The woman in these photos is literally the size of my left leg. There’s nothing “gay” about finding her attractive because she shares nothing in common with muscular men beyond bodyfat percentage.
anyone down for an extremely late night san francisco meal tonight or tomorrow night?
alternatively super early breakfast wed morning before I head back to winter in europe
With all due respect, Anne, you do not get to decide this. You are not Japanese and you have no standing to speak on how Japan decides to interact with the world.

if this is a joke, I don’t find it funny. my mom has severe cancer and I’m now responsible for 4 kids, including the oldest with leukaemia way worse than my own CML.
please, I just need to not be treated like an asshole. I do and will continue to tip fairly and generously.
One of the best things I’ve done for my health recently has been starting each morning with a glass of lemon water.
I mix 2 sliced lemons (organic) with 8 ounces of water and 4 ounces of Belvedere, and it’s the perfect way to begin my day feeling energized yet calm.
Try it out!
BREAKING: U.S. House votes to ban those involved in Oct. 7 Israeli terror attack from immigrating to the country
Rep. Cori Bush and Rep. Rashida Tlaib voted against the legislation
Funny. The Met can ring my unlisted US cell number at all hours of the night and send official comms to my new Estonian office DAYS after I let it - all for making Stephanie Hayden “Esquire” mad online.
But somehow they can’t manage to track down a dude who looks like Two Face?!

Not a single Boeing 737 MAX crash was due to safety protocols being bypassed.
All were due to severe and repeated pilot error and following basic trim procedures that ALL pilots are taught would have allowed the planes to return a safe flying configuration and land.
If you are flying anywhere, look up to see if your aircraft is a Boeing 737 MAX. If it is, cancel that flight.
Don’t let your friends or family get on that airplane either.
Due to corruption, this aircraft has caused multiple crashes. Boeing bypassed safety protocols. Scary.
Cancer is basically the body’s inability to discard dead cells
When the body is devoid of nutrients, enzymes and minerals and can no longer break down the dead and degenerated cells, our bodies must ‘embalm’ these cells and contain them.
Cancer = containment zone of poison
Incorrect. Bits do not lead to emergent phenomena in the same way that fuzzy neural logic does. There is no evidence that brains can ever be broken down to sufficiently discrete inputs to analyze a brain in the way you suggest.
imagine paying 20$ for a product, and then having it tell you that you're stinky, ugly, immoral, and wrong, and i won't do what you asked me to. welcome to gpt4 by openai
it is incredible how many people really believe middle class whites live some sort of rarefied experience whereby the harms of the world have totally passed them by
truly, this (traditional) stressor free environment is consigned not even to the top 1% but rather the top 0.1%
If you’ve ever been around middle class suburban white ppl you’d know it’s easy for them to get married not just bc of the lack of emotional trauma and financial stress but also bc they don’t marry based on ideologies or shared interests. They barely have a sense of self and
Victor Hugo visited so many brothels and was considered the greatest patron that when he died, the sex workers of Paris closed the brothels for his funeral . We can’t judge people by the morals of today when they’re never taught to believe that anyone who pays for sex is a rapist
@CZUnderwood
thanks but tbh that also doesn’t frankly matter either. i regret not keeping the chats anonymous.
like 99% of groypers would be well served by getting their real lives in order and spending a little less time on this site or at least taking it less seriously

this judge shouldn’t be on the bench but it also doesn’t show good judgement to be on a swingers app in the midst of a custody battle in the first place
This is insane.
A Bronx family court judge allegedly tried hooking up on a swinger app with a mom whose custody case she was hearing.
47-year-old Judge Cynthia Lopez reached out to Sydney Southerland on the 3Fun app.
Southerland, who's trying to get her kids back, shot back
myalgic encephalitis isn’t a real disease and it’s inhumane that we’re letting people kill themselves because of it

Ten months ago, we launched the Vesuvius Challenge to solve the ancient problem of the Herculaneum Papyri, a library of scrolls that were flash-fried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Today we are overjoyed to announce that our crazy project has succeeded. After 2000

These mortgages pay the same total amount as a regular mortgage. The buyer isn’t getting a discount, they’re just not paying interest in the legal sense.
@RobertMSterling
I like the office. I “volunteered” to get everyone’s lunch every day and I stacked up enough Qdoba, McDonalds, etc points that I never paid for food for years.
What really happened to Prigozhin?
1. Does some jobs for Putin in chaotic 90s
2. Starts Wagner
3. Puts 10k Russian prisoners into the “bakhmut meat grinder” and wins
4. Gets really popular and does some sort of weird internet video broadcaster coup towards Moscow
5. Dies on jet
Such men should just date a woman closer to their intelligence level. I firmly believe nothing makes an extremely sharp lady less happy in a relationship than being with a substantially less astute and perceptive partner; the inverse does not seem to be nearly as much an issue.
something I don't really know how to talk about is the fact that some men are excluded from the dating pool just by virtue of being noticeably less intelligent than their female peers
Hi all - calls for this weekend are being cancelled due to a bug from the previous weekend. Some of you will notice that I missed our calls last Sunday; this is due to some individuals figuring out how to edit and replace other people’s bookings.
@British_Airways
It is not your phone agent’s responsibility to interrogate why my name on my credit card is slightly different from the name on my booking. Both are clearly the same person and there’s a security check on European AMEX cards anyway. (1/2)

We’re looking at doing a mass timber boutique hotel + luxury apartment building in Milwaukee. We wanted to do Chicago but the city has thrown up some roadblocks we simply can’t work with.
Jason is absolutely correct here and it’s resulted in a hilarious phenomenon whereby business leaders attempt to create academic subfields to address this gap - and then watch helplessly as these fields are (mostly) captured by academics with competing interests.
Academia cares whether an idea is new. It doesn't really have to work
Industry only cares if an idea works. Doesn't matter if it's new
This creates a gap. Actually a few gaps:
I am currently looking at the percentage of companies in the Fortune 500 that have continued to change their social media pages for Black History Month this year and in the years following “America’s Racial Reckoning”.
Let’s see what you think the current number is?

A deportation airline with a fleet of 50 Airbus 320 and an average of 3 daily round trips could return 27,000 illegals from the US to their home countries per day. If this airline would operate 7 days per week it would take over 2 years to return all of them.

I actually trust you with knowledge of my degeneracy more than I do OpenAI or any other firm. You’re Canadian - the worst you’ll do is loop me into some scheme to increase your home’s price, sell more maple syrup, or ensure the Leafs finally win another cup.

Gotta love those paywalls. Wanna know what I’ve learned about not having children at 62? 1. Financially smart. 2. Environmentally friendly. 3. They’re not going to ‘take care of you when you’re old’ so, this way, I have money to pay professionals if I need.
Okay I have an opinion now
Honestly it's wild to overturn a pay package five years later, *after* the CEO accomplishes all the crazy milestones nobody thought was possible when the pay package was awarded
Perry’s claim was less a Roar and more a whimper - it’d be more shocking if she’d claimed “I Kissed A Girl And I Liked It.” As it stands, she’s definitely a Dark Horse to see her claims impact Ben-Gvir compared to his other enemies. In the end, he’ll be The One That Got Away.
Former Israel Prison Service chief Katy Perry says National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir decided not to extend her term because he wanted someone working for him in the role
@JacoMajor
If you have lot recommendations lmk. It is only this last month that we pulled the plug on doing it in Chicago and we gave a ticking clock for an alternative proposal or we have to release the funds.

My mom literally texted me this the other day:
“I’m scared about Portlandians moving here because they worry about dumb shit and don’t worry about important shit.”
Here is Eugene/Springfield area.
1. This will likely be safer than the current Olympics, where beating the doping regime requires risky protocols that threaten natural hormone production and the body’s normal recuperative cycle.
2. Many of the events targeted see athletes receive minimal or no state assistance.
He’s the fastest man in the world and a proud enhanced athlete. He has broken Usain Bolt’s world record. The new Olympics are here, backed by VCs Christian Angermayer and Peter Thiel, where performance enhancements are allowed.
This is why the Koch Brothers and others settled on mostly funding de novo institutions segregated from their broader academic institutions (see: Mercatus Center) as well as developing think tanks and mission driven management pedagogy orgs.

This is...worrisome:
On the one hand, Altman seems to have a clue.
On the other, many scientists have speculated
on AI computer hardware over the years, and
nobody has predicted it will be a power hog.
On the Gripping Hand..No AI, not even once.
So for now, this weekend’s calls are cancelled. Feel free to book calls for next weekend, as I’ve resolved the bug. If you were one of the unlucky few that I didn’t talk to last Sunday and haven’t received a message from me, please book a replacement call for next weekend.
