I was looking forward to seeing twitter explode because I hate what that site does to society and people in general regardless of politics but I've been disappointed by how weak the pushback has been. Was hoping for a more spectacular meltdown than the usual weeping and gnashing of teeth from blue checks. How many people of any note actually left?

There are many bona-fide black muslims in the United States originating from eastern and northern Africa. Also, Hoteps don't present as muslim and are distinct from NOI folks.

@OracleOutlook Any updates on that Potato/potassium supplementation diet thing from last month? Curious to see if anyone here has seen any results.

Indeed. My fairly well to do Red friends from PN were horrified at the prospect of having to vote for another TV charlatan despite being ambivalent to Trump. "We just want someone normal" is the big sentiment for them (former reluctant Trump guys big on DeSantis).

Also I gave a beer away from my six pack to a homeless guy in front of Walmart. Nothing makes a beggar light up more than a cold one. Not even money.

This is normal for PredictIt. If you use the site a lot you'll notice the heavy Red bias before the mass of normie users fill up the volume to something more realistic right before the election starts.

"In LSD veritas" was the CIA's motto in the 60s. They tried with alcohol, but determined that alcohol wasn't good enough to be used to determine anyone's true sentiments. (neither was LSD)
People react very differently to drunkeness. Some get sad, violent, horny, lethargic, delusional or paranoid. Not all drunk behavior can be interpreted as uninhibited desire.

I'm not an expert in shop, but what's stopping people from publishing digital, open source schematics for using more traditional metalworking to make firearms?
Nothing. It's easily accessable. You can just search "AR lower CNC file" and it should show up as the first result.
Building a gun from entirely from scratch is extremely difficult and costly for one person, but most of these files assume you're only interested in making the part that's actually regulated (the lower reciever).

No, but it is a funny word that evokes an image of contempt from the people who feed it to you, like a pig farmer or a school lunch lady.

That's a nice analogy but should it also apply to people who think there are demons living in their walls after they smoke crack or any other psychoactive drug. Very compulsive and out of character behavior isn't even that uncommon among drunks. I doubt it has that much to do with one's "true character".

Blue team is on sale on the senate market. Only 21 cents. Very tempted to buy. I believe 79/21 is not realistic odds.

All my Red Team friends are praying he's announcing he will back down and endorse DeSantis. Maybe a little too optimistic.

The easiest way to get the results you want is to get a photograph of your musicians and run it through a free online style transfer app with keywords like cubism and picasso.

Those who remain should be, and I would wager are, confident that they are not also on the verge of being laidoff.
I don't think it actually works like that because there's no guarantee there won't be further decimations in the near future as new loyal (to Musk) engineers are brought in to replace the old guard. If your company fired half the staff overnight, it would be a bit early to feel secure in your job.

I feel like I have seen far less insects recently than in the past. Not even fruit flies, mosquitos, spiders. I live in a urban area but insects used to be an every day thing. I wonder if it has something to do with the global decline in insect biomass.

It's funny how much the Mastodon project hates Pawoo despite being their biggest and most active instance. They won't even respond to pull requests made in english. Maybe they're Japanophobic?

Mastodon is not a platform, it's a software used to interface with a wider fediverse that is an open protocol that anyone can use like email. It's unfortunate that the maintainers of Mastodon choose to market their project as a platform. It would be like hotmail calling the entire email network hotmail when other email clients exist.

Here's an incomplete node graph of the english speaking fediverse.
It's kind of sad how few people know it exists. Everything Elon talked about to Jack already existed.

FB/Instagram/TikTok content isn't visible to people without accounts, making them mostly useless for the main function of twitter: public relations.

pro players of anything are always actively studying their own games and their opponents. Watching replays is less valuable when you're not a pro playing against random people in matchmaking. Self critique is not as effective if you are below the skill level where there is nobody better than you that can simply point out the mistakes you failed to notice.
Your friend isn't pro enough to benefit as much from watching replays over just playing another game in the same amount of time.
Also, people watch replays played back at a higher speed, or skip to important moments to save time.
I don't have time to read through the whole thing but did they have any control group for the potato diet? Eating the same thing every day in general seems like it would have an effect on calorie consumption purely by virtue of not snacking or eating for entertainment for a month.
Unrelated, but the key to understanding the global obesity epidemic probably has something to do with infant and child obesity. Something has to have gone horribly wrong in our environment if infants fed on breastmilk or formula are following the same trend as humans with agency.
Edit:
Why did they stop looking at the potassium/BMI graphs after 2017? It seems like the data after that contradicts the claims presented. Such omission of data makes me more skeptical of everything else.
The main person behind the FTX situation is Sam Bankman Fried, a very influential donor and prominent figure within the Effective Altruism movement. His exchange blew open due to his financial crimes and the movement he is tied to is taking heat. He allocated millions into Effective Altruism while embezzling from his exchange. What is currently happening is a Bernie Madoff level collapse. A company that had ads with Larry Davis on the Super Bowl this year is imploding overnight and all it's customers are turbo fucked.
