apparently they're making a gender blind remake of Mean Girls where the guy from 'Dirty Jobs' plays all three characters in the popular clique.

Screenshot of text from edge.org, on a page about their 2004 "Billionaires Dinner" "At this point Jeffrey Epstein joined the conversation and demanded to know whether weird quantum effects had played a significant role in the origins of life. That question pushed me way out of the sumo ring into the deep unknown. We tried to construct a version of the question that could be answered. I was pushing my own personal theory of everything (the universe is a giant quantum computer, and to understand how things like life came into existence, we have to understand how atoms, molecules, and photons process information). Jeffrey was pushing back with his own theory (we need to understand what problem was being solved at the moment life came into being). By pushing from both sides, we managed to assemble a metaphor in which molecules divert the flow of free energy to their own recreational purposes (i.e., literally recreating themselves) somewhat in the way Jeffrey manages to divert the flow of money as it moves from time-zone to timezone, using that money for his own recreational purposes (i.e., to create more money). I'm not saying it was the right way to describe the origins of life: I'm just saying that it was fun." https://www.edge.org/event/the-edge-billionaires-dinner-2004

I hadn't seen this before, it's a recounting of Jeffrey Epstein's purported theory of the origin of life, from a 2004 'Billionaires Dinner' that Bezos, Eric Schmidt, Page/Brin, and the Segway guy also attended.

Saying Epstein uses his money for "his own recreational purposes" is... interesting.

It's illegal to look startled and nervous?

The real 'capitalist masculinity' is how satisfying it feels when another man buys a product you have. It means you've dominated them.

Oh, you got the same coffee grinder as me because you trust my recommendation? Yeah, I just alpha'd you. I've asserted primal dominance.

maybe i'm just dumb but if someone asked me 'what brand was that weird eugenics-y sydney sweeny ad for?' i actually wouldn't have immediately remembered despite having kinda paid attention to all this

jeremy allen white can't play zuckerberg, but you know who he could play?

IBM built the 'software' for cataloging Jews during the Holocaust (an early punchcard system) and got out of it relatively unscathed reputationally and financially.

Palantir is just as complicit in today's rounding up of an 'undesired class,' and we can't let them get away with it again.

you gotta admit it would it would be pretty sick if climate change were a hoax

Elkind is financially supported by Reid Hoffman, a member of the Paypal Mafia and the Defense Innovation Board (responsible for funneling taxpayer money to war tech companies like Palantir.)

Elkind is just a little Peter Thiel lapdog. Keep him in the crate.

Yeah I mean they're literally saying that he should've gone out shooting

whenever i'm with an extended family member I dont know that well I burn the time by challenging them to a game of 'family trivia' by making up questions about relatives we both know well, it's super fun.

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

I know ChatGPT will always make errors, but confusing two totally different medications seems particularly egregious, especially when its the kind of error a human likely wouldn't make.

Does Mediate condemn the IDF or the genocide in Gaza? Yes or no, please.

ChatGPT screenshot. User asks "What are the benefits of Crexont over generic?" ChatGPT responds: "Crexont is a brand-name medication that contains tadalafil, the same active ingredient as generic tadalafil. It is used primarily for erectile dysfunction (ED), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or both. When comparing Crexont to generic tadalafil, the benefits typically come down to branding, formulation, and subjective patient experience rather than pharmacological differences. Potential Benefits of Crexont over Generic Tadalafil: 1. Consistent Quality and Manufacturing Standards • Brand-name drugs like Crexont are often perceived as having stricter quality control and more consistent manufacturing standards, although generics must still meet FDA or EMA standards. 2. Faster or More Predictable Onset (Perceived) • Some patients report that brand-name versions work faster or more reliably, even though the active ingredient is the same. This could be due to differences in: • Excipients (inactive ingredients) • Tablet formulation (e.g., coating, dissolution rate) 3. Better Tolerability for Some Patients • Again, due to formulation differences, some users report fewer side effects or better tolerability with the branded version. 4. Packaging and Branding Confidence • Patients may trust or feel more confident using a branded product, especially if it's prescribed or recommended by a urologist. 5. Pharmacy Support and Documentation • Crexont may come with more thorough documentation, instructions, or patient support materials compared to generics."

Screenshot of drugs dot com legitimate info about the medicaiton: "Crexont « Pronunciation: crex-crit Generic name: carbidopa and levodopa Dosage form: extended-release capsule Drug class: Dopaminergic antiparkinsoniam agants Modically reviewed by Carmen Popa, BPharm. Last updated on Aug 12, 2024. Uses | Side effects | Before taking Dosage What to avoid Interactions FAQ What is Crexont? Crexont (carbidopa and levodopa) is an extended-release capsule that may be used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as stiffness or tremors. It may also be used to treat Parkinson's symptoms caused by carbon monoxide poisoning or manganese intoxication in adults. Crexont contains both immediate-release granules and extended-release pellets within each capsule which helps improve the time each capsule is effective for, reducing OFF time (OFF time is when Parkinson's symptoms return between medication doses). Research has shown Crexont was associated with about half an hour more of "good on' time per day compared with immediate-release formulations."

Wow, a pretty huge error from ChatGPT here.

I was using it earnestly for one of the few times in my life to research my father's Parkinson's medication, a new brand-name formulation of carbidopa-levodopa, and ChatGPT thinks its tadalafil, which is Cialis (yes, boner pills)

does anyone else with ADHD accidentally set emotional minefield traps for themselves?

for example, whenever I need to look up my one aunt's address I only have it written down in an email invite to my mother's shiva, so I just search for that in my email to get the address lmfao
