Hyperreality

Is sometimes wonder if stuff like this is actually worn outside, or if it’s mainly something you see on insta/tiktok, and people will wear normcore stuff when they actually go outside.

Actually like it though. At least it’s not boring.

And according to the promotional video, it will pleasure you with a special dance.

“We apologize for being caught.”

It was already spreading from mammal to mammal. IRC there was that Mink farm last year and I think seals too. There were also cases of H5N1 jumping from birds to humans.

Given H5N1 can make the jump from birds to mammals(including humans), and from mammals to mammals, it’s not a huge shock that it’s made the jump to humans from other mammals.

H1N1 killed 50-100 million people, so the danger has always been there, and scientists have been warning about it for decades. For example, here’s a journal article from almost twenty years ago discussing this scenario:

Кремлеботы не дремлют. :)

The Kremlin once went on record to deny Putin fell down some stairs and shit himself.

Sugar’s expensive in Ryazan. The Kremlin said so in 1999 and they would never lie.

It was someone else’s fault that 145 people died in the Crocus City Hall attack.

Humans are mammals.

Are you suggesting they should simply start saving for retirement?

If so, that’s ‘let them eat cake’ level out of touch.

The ford mondeo (I think it was called the fusion in the US) was ‘inspired’ by the Aston Martin Rapide. This was at a time when Ford owned Aston Martin. Fisker and Porritt, who worked at tesla when the model S came out, also worked for Ford/Aston Martin.

It’s not just me either. For example, here’s a ten year old thread on the tesla forum which mentions it:

The tesla model S looks like a decade old eurospec Ford Mondeo.

Certainly look more alike than a porsche and a byd.

Here’s an article explaining why the BBC doesn’t call Hamas terrorists.

What are we going to do, shoot them?

Yes.

I really don’t think genocide on home turf will go over well.

See above.

I honestly think he wants to be arrested. It’d do his political campaign wonders to spend a few nights in jail and do a Hitler.

So perhaps it’s for the best he’s only being fined for now.

Obviously it’s disgusting, us plebes would have been in jail a long time ago.

Wet ass pussy.

Textbook statistics don’t really hold when you have a huge selection bias, as just about any poll does.

Meh. Often quite accurate, if you read the small print and caveats. It’s not 1980. Good pollsters don’t just do landline surveys, they correct for demographic factors, and are transparent about flaws and limitations.

IME the problem is usually how the media reports on said polling.

Probably inflation.

You don’t need to poll everyone to get relatively accurate polling results.

I have a related degree, it is possible with the necessary caveats, margins of error and confidence intervals. Statistics is a wonderful thing.

This being said, I actually read the full 77 page document they linked to, and if I’m not mistaken the 55% comes from a 2021 telephone poll. Obviously phone only polls are likely to be biased, even if you correct for demographic factors like age.

Then again, inflation is a problem.

I have a related degree.

The study was conducted for CNN via web and telephone on the SSRS Opinion Panel, a nationally representative panel of U.S. adults ages 18 or older recruited using probability-based sampling techniques.

BUT…

In a January 2021 poll taken just before Trump left office and days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, 55% considered his time as president a failure.

Relevant bit:

Unless otherwise noted, results beginning with the August 3-6, 2017 survey and ending with the April 21-26, 2021 survey are from polls conducted by SSRS via telephone only

TLDR: doubt those polls are representative.

You can lay siege though. Bomb anything going out or in.

This is why (large) companies love hiring young people. They know they can get them to do stupid shit like this, because those new to employment don’t yet know that being loyal, sacrificing their personal life, working unpaid overtime and going above and beyond often won’t be properly rewarded. Once you’re a bit older, you know there’s no point.

My advice: if you’re a fresh grad, go work for a big corp, do the 9-5 and don’t bend over backwards. Make connections, then find a job somewhere else ASAP and get promoted that way.
