Well according to that measure the us dollar has lost purchasing power every single year since 1955. (excluding 2008). And that’s the most important measure! But it still totally invalidates the point of the meme

Just because i hate people being misinformed about what’s true, the US dollar hasn’t lost value since 2013.

They won’t lose their playlists. When you cancel premium it just switches to the free plan. They’ll have ads and won’t always be able to play the exact song they want, but otherwise everything else will remain exactly the same.

I’m in nyc and 25 is not the norm for a regular burger

At a bare minimum i always appreciate an attempt to help, even if their ideas aren’t actually helpful

From what I’ve read, having a deficit in social communication is a core definitional symptom.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6105175/

“Autism spectrum disorder is defined by two core symptoms: a deficit in social communication and…”

https://www.autismspeaks.org/autism-diagnostic-criteria-dsm-5

“[The DSM-V states] that an autism diagnosis requires persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as manifested by the following: deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction, and in developing, maintaining and understanding relationships.”

https://www.autismalert.org/uploads/PDF/INFO--DSM 5 Diagnostic Criteria.pdf

Exact text of the DSM-V on autism:

Diagnostic Criteria

A. Persistent difficulties in the social use of verbal and nonverbal communication as manifested by all of the following:

1. Deficits in using communication for social purposes, such as greeting and sharing information, in a manner that is appropriate for the social context.

2. Impairment of the ability to change communication to match context or the needs of the listener, such as speaking differently in a classroom than on the playground, talking differently to a child than to an adult, and avoiding use of overly formal language.

3. Difficulties following rules for conversation and storytelling, such as taking turns in conversation, rephrasing when misunderstood, and knowing how to use verbal and nonverbal signals to regulate interaction.

4. Difficulties understanding what is not explicitly stated (e.g., making inferences) and nonliteral or ambiguous meanings of language (e.g., idioms, humor, metaphors, multiple meanings that depend on the context for interpretation).

So, I’m not a diagnostician, but if you have above average ability to read social cues, then that sure sounds like it excludes a diagnosis of autism.

If anyone has information from an authoritative source that explicitly says otherwise then I’d be interested to see it, thanks

Exactly. Since it died in the Senate just a few years ago, why would it pass now? It’s essentially the same bill and essentially the same government.

Exactly, the significant majority of people hate the sun going down extra early in winter. The winter is so depressing with so much darkness, we especially need to maximize how much sunlight see in winter

But the bill is just gonna die in the Senate, so don’t hold your breath

Clickbait title. “Meltdown”, “fuming”, this is nonsense tabloid sensationalism

What a fool. Even if you had a clearly written contract saying that in exchange for X dollars you would receive a pardon in return, it would make no difference, because a contact for illegal activities is completely non-binding and unenforceable.

It’s like if you signed a contract to pay 5000 dollars for a kilogram of cocaine, but then they took your money and didn’t give you any cocaine. If you go to a court with that they both won’t force the other party to give you your cocaine or your money back, but additionally they’ll charge you with an attempted drug purchase

Agreed, and that’s the thing. It’s inherently an all or nothing technology, no rules or regulations could ever be trusted to allow the good uses but prevent the bad uses. So the only right option is to prevent the technology from being used at all

No, recording glasses absolutely are awful to have in society, but there are potential good uses of the technology. None that outweigh the downsides, but good uses for it could exist.

For example when you see someone you met before it could pop up a bubble telling you their name, their relationship to you, when you saw them last, previous topics that you’ve discussed with them, etc. Or when you’re following walking directions it could display a green line on the route you’re supposed to follow. Or for people with disabilities it could do things like block out visual elements that could trigger a seizure. Etc.

But as i said earlier, all the potential upsides combined don’t come close to outweighing all the very awful very real downsides. Just clarifying.

This is meta not google, but same difference

No, a distraction from the Epstein file was the point

Great point. From a quick websearch it looks like every state is allowed to exempt itself. The few states that opted out did so right near the creation of the daylight saving time law.

I think maybe it comes down to inertia and staying in the herd. No state wants to be the first one to stick their neck out and make a change from the rest of the country all still doing the status quo.

If someone has an unfair advantage when they’re doing a bike race, then that person steals the other person’s glory and money. If someone has an unfair advantage during a fight then they’re stealing the other person’s glory and money AND they get beat to a fucking bloody pulp when they shouldn’t have.

What the hell are you talking about. If anything that makes it much worse

First half of your sentence yes, second half of your sentence no. There are ebbs and flows of numbers of missiles launched, but compared to earlier in the war I’m pretty sure Russia is launching significantly fewer now, especially if you consider the destructive power of each missile used
