Agree. Building “golden” off ramps is just going to incite more of this shit, where people think disrupting police activity is acceptable and then panicked fleeing when they are detained. Even if officers try to comically deferentially deescalate, it’s a fundamentally dangerous scenario to embolden. What happens when a detainee hurts someone or the fleeing driver hits a bystander in their recklessness.
And the whole, find them later and arrest them, is also a joke. First the massive waste of resources and difficulty, second what happens when those involve reckless fleeing. “Officer showed up at their home and they ended up shot” is going to be much worse optics than it happening at the scene

Running from the cops shouldn’t be a death sentence, but it is a death gamble. If the officers primary duty is to make sure you are maximally safe while fleeing and to avoid any putting themselves between you and your exit, then the law stops existing for criminals. This is anarchotyrrany.

Then she called his bluff and began driving anyway
It clearly wasn’t a bluff. As I said to another poster, “you’re allowed to obstruct and then flee as long as you’re reckless about it” is not a stable status quo. “Resisting arrest and ignoring the authority of detaining officers will get you shot”, is.
Complying with the police is how you stay alive and fleeing the scene / believing your car is “base” that you are allowed to plow forward is how you get shot. I can’t comprehend how it could be any other way. It’s the very belief that you are allowed to flee that is creating these outcomes.

…when there's a threat, you have a duty to flee. You do not have the right to kill someone unless necessary to protect yourself from serious injury or death. The cop easily got out of the way…
The problem is that this is gamed into, “you’re allowed to flee the scene and be noncompliant with the police as long as you are reckless about it.
This can’t be the standard. It’s why folks start shouting “I can’t breathe!” as soon as a cop begins to apprehend them. They’ve been led to believe that they can summon incantations that supercede and neutralize the officers authority. If police cannot use force, they do not have the ability to control a scene and this will be abused the fuck. In fact this situation is almost certainly a result of her thinking that she had this very plot armor.
“If you try to flee, you will probably die” is probably a mindset that would result in less casualties

To be clear, I do think it's useful to reflect on internal states, and I do think Matt's bravado is performatively overstated.

So, I agree with (I think) Matt Walsh who said basically:
-
Why are you anxiety-ing about how you feel about doing something? If it’s good to do, do it.
-
Why are you vomiting this out in public / on twitter?
Moreover, I assume this is almost certainly a case of poorly trained attention span / boredom tolerance from someone who’s gooned their dopamine with the internet. This is just doing the work of basic conditioning.
Regardless of the kid aspect, if you can’t tolerate more than 10 minutes doing something boring and are in your head about whether it’s appropriately fun, you need to fix this about yourself.
Overall, the idea of over factoring in whether something is good to be doing or virtuous with how much one enjoys it is painfully cringe and just a bad life perspective. Therapizing about it on the internet to strangers is downstream of this.
Whether he needs to be spending more time with his kids and how he ought to be feeling about it, is all very far removed from these more immediate problems of basic task discipline

Oh I see. Well I don’t think the Trump admin will do anything about it but I don’t think it’s because Venezuela distracted them.

I very much doubt this takes the oxygen out of the Somali fraud story, as that was one which was being sustained organically through a fed up citizenry than couldn’t find Venezuela on a map.
This story has absolutely no crossover interest with the general population who has no clue what just happened or why. Nor will they me made to care. If this was distributable the mainstream media would have done it.
Don’t get me wrong I think it will still eventually burn out with very little results. But not via Venezuela stories

Grandparent said they joy said wills dad called him queer. parent post said no she don’t, I showed that she in fact did say that. That is all. I did not comment on the implications. Just that the parent refuted an exchange that did in fact happen
iprayiam3

Yes she did. Trivial to look up Season 1, ep. 1 ~18 minute mark:
Joy (to Hopper): Look, he's... he's a sensitive kid. Lonnie (sigh), Lonnie used to say he was queer. Called him a fag.
Hopper: Is he?
Joy: He's missing, is what he is!
That doesn't prove anything. But you're wrong to say she didn't/

I thought Stranger Things wrapped up nicely and the finale was great.
Whhhhaaaaat? I couldn’t have been more disappointed. It was a more sterile, uninspired, cgi repeat of the season 3 Mall fight with the MF. Vecna was just Billy except without an actual personality or complexity. Instead of an interesting set it was a boring CGI desert.
Stranger Things was a barely above garbage show from seasons 2-4; and an exercise is bloated nothing in season 5

Again, why is proof the standard here? It shined a light they couldn’t be left unaddressed. Even if we get some legitimate institutions, there’s the bigger question perhaps even worse:
Why are we tax payers funding millions to give free daycare to immigrant populations that we didn’t even ask to import?
The amount of spotlight on “legal” handouts to “legal” immigrants that is absolutely outrageous to middle class Americans getting squeezed is the real scandal. The fraud is just an extra exclamation point on how much the governing elite hates you.
Now of course there are plenty of counter perspectives to the above paragraph, but the point is that it is a legitimate framing of a SUBSTANTIAL part of the population, and the point stands that the media has been complicit in completely ignoring it at best.

Of course it’s not proof. It’s a spotlight, and a question begger about what’s going on and why it took him to highlight it
“well of course there’s fraud, a this guy is pointing to it, but see he’s pointing wrong, so can be dismissed or agreed with where convenient”
It’s just cake-eat-having commentary.

This video was posted on December 26th.
Do you think it was filmed the day it was released?
I'll admit the misspelled "learing center" was a nice touch
Yeah, misspelling your school's name on it's front door is a 'nice touch'.
I'm not going to make the positive claim that these institutions are all above board and the victim of selective editing.
So what are you claiming? You seem to just be swatting lazily enough to not have to think any harder about it. Come on out with a prediction here. Of course Nick Shirly, a 23 year old youtuber isn't going to be a button up investigator, which makes it all the more damning if he's the one to whistle blow massive fraud.
So massive fraud or not?

the SFX quality is arguably a step above modern CGI in many cases (Avatar movies notwithstanding).
If nothing else (and that's an if that won't hold); AI is to CGI as CGI was to stop-motion (and many other practical effects). CGI is soon to be over as the state of the art way to produce special effects. It will be reduced tremendously in it's purpose

It's not that men get sicker, but that when they do need to be taken care of or take a load off, the contrast is more stark. Let's say a husband and a wife are both under the weather 10 days in a year, with 2 being ugly. If the man takes those 2, and quietly shoulders the rest, while the wife, is at various levels still in commission for her remaining 8, one might misread the batting average.
My wife is open that she needs to lean on me more than I am allowed to lean on her because she's the woman (generally, not about being sick). (I agree!). She's self-possessed enough to recognize that gender dynamics aren't even. So the thing is that occassionally, a man gets knocked on his ass, and it looks like he's being a bitch.
As an aside, I cannot recall the last time I took a sick day at work, if perhaps ever. However, the person who took the most I ever met was a former male boss. Nice guy but extreme stereotype of a leftist. Used phrases like 'adulting'. So maybe it's also about the type of company the type of person who uses the phrase keeps?

You’d be intentionally fathering a kid that you legally disown and disinherit. This will not be the lesbians child. It will be your child. As much your child as your “own” kids, the ones who got to be a part of their parents’ family. Surely you can imagine that coming back to bite you or him/her in ways which you might not predict now. What if he resents not having a dad or siblings. What if they move away or you fall out. The idea that it could irreparably damage a friendship to not father their child is insane and doesn’t speak to a healthy stable friendship or one that can be counted on to last. It sounds extremely manipulative. And to bring a kid into that. Your own kid, whom you may never be able to fulfill your fatherly responsibilities to….
Purely selfishly this is a bad idea with the risk there. On a more moral level, I think it’s a monstrous idea and even if you don’t agree with any of my moral preconceptions, maybe it’s helpful to at least know that my opinion is out there.
Run, don’t walk away.

Yeah exactly, resumes are already an example where AI just broke the concept, not improved anything. You can argue that people could always get external resume help. But the friction was valuable information itself. That someone went out of their way to find and rely on another humans help and discern quality was in itself a signal so it was ok to not know whether this polished resume was self written or professionally assisted.
Now every resume is AI polished with the pus of a button. Instead of improving resuming anyway, it just broke the function

This is something I’ve tried to talk to smart people at work about who actively employ AI and they never seem to think through the implications.
Here’s one example I’ve given before - AI agentic sales outreach. For a brief 6 months, in 2024 orgs who adopted the ability to research contact, write “personalized” emails, and send cadences at scale had a super power. And a few startups got amazing buzz over it. Then it was table stakes and once everyone gets more in their inbox it becomes junk again.
If AI was good enough that you could send the exact right message to me at the exact best time to consider your product, the first 10 people would get an easy sale. But as soon as this is available to everyone of the 10 million businesses who think I should buy their product, it will just ruin email altogether.
This has always been an arms race but AI will not in the long run improve email outreach, but break it. I think this is going to be the same in a lot of areas

That's fair. This is a tough issue though, because AI is at this point impossibly looped into basic editing processes, and there's a spectrum. It is AI now, because I ask AI for a spell check, or to fix commas? 1.Write a something for me on this topic is one thing. 2. Draft these bullet points into a post is another. 3. Take this draft, and help me edit for grammer/wording, is another still. It's closer to blue underline suggestions in Word. For me personally, I don't really do option 1 ever. I will occassionally use option 2 in work emails. But option 3, which should be useful,I find the AI to be overly zealous in rewording, then have to tweak back. It's a general problem I have at work with AI generation. AI is a very zealous editor, and instead of tightening a clause or fixing a word, it tries to aggressively redraft things into AI voice. Perhaps somethign like Grammerly is better, but ChatGPT sucks in this regard.
However, in this case, I don't think AI was noticed here. I think stilted prose was noticed, and everything that doesn't feel organic, registers as AI now. The biggest difference between my OP and, say this comment, is that I tried to write it out in a word processor and create a structure, rather than stream-of-consciousness into the comment field.

right, I am not suggesting that the only true institution is one that resists change or evolution. And perhaps my OP misstated this. Genetic and memetic evolution will occur in most (every?) institution, and attempts to resist that are varying levels of tension in the system. I am trying to combine both an analytical frame and a point of view in the frame, which I think is muddying it.
I think there is a natural, healthy debate about what Church Five is, and this is the natural order of an institution or nation. The fact that the US has conservatives and liberals, and an internal debate about what do we progress and what do we conserve, and which parts are core to our identity is a reasonable debate. When a faith or organization says, which parts of our doctrine are non-negotiable, and which parts are developments, the same.
Whether memetic evolution, changes the nature of an institution or not, I think is an open question. What I am suggesting is that when memetic evolution occurs primarily through genetic replacement, something somewhat different is happening (this is akin to the concept of skinsuiting), and conflating the two or trivializing the difference is usually done by pointing to thenetic continuity.
My point of view is that thenetic continuity is less important than it is often made out to be when debating core identity.

Portions, I ran through an AI for editing (at this point, this is just unfortunately any writing at all that isn't pure stream of consciousness), was mostly frustrated with the output not being in my voice, and pasted back in my own words. It is certainly stilted, and a combination of lack of time spent editing, skill, and my rusty impoverished attempts to be more essayic.
As my time spent posting on the internet has decreased, my writing style has increasingly become sloppier stream of consciousness, and this was the first attempt in quite a while to draft something before posting.
It is not AI, but poorly written, and unfortunately apes AI writing styles, in an attempt to be structured.
I don’t understand the folks still taking about her tires turning. You have to take this video in with the next most recent one over the fence. There are agents surrounding her on multiple sides including one approaching on the other side of the car.
It is very unlikely she was trying to kill anyone. But it is very clear she was ok to plow through a group of agents without respect to their individual positions. She was recklessly fleeing a lawful arrest and put her getaway above the pedestrians she was plowing through. And she did this in a cold calm manner, not in some confused panic
