God fucking damnit I hate how much people on the internet are so focused on bring right they won’t even read what you write properly just so they can find things to pick a fight over. Fuck off lol
You mean like someone going uhmm acktually it’s not technically a poison, I wish people wouldn’t complain about a substance poisoning people when there’s no evidence it’s poison attempting to make a fairly pointless pedandic statement, while also being confidently incorrect?
Did he hit you with a classic dad line like, “hey hold this, a pin thing just fell out of it” while scouring at the floor as he threw it?
Dude that is rough, no wonder it still hits you from time to time. Those poor parents.
I know you are probably just repeating the terms you were given at the time, but I would classify that ‘freak accident’ of a kid finding a live hand grenade left behind by an arms collector selling his house instead as ‘wreckless negligence’. The grenade did exactly what it was supposed to do, the responsible adult(s) failed enormously.
Aside - I’m absolutely not trying to chide you, I just don’t know how else to get my point across that we pass along these stories sometimes without questioning the framing of the story (I catch myself doing it).
Thankyou for bringing this into my life
Ehhh… Your whole point made no sense, and not just the conspiracy theory comment.
“Dismissing the power of this tool is exactly what the owners want you to do”? Really? The tool these same owners are spruiking as the ‘biggest development in computing in the last 20 years’ is something they are trying to downplay? The thing the silicon valley elites are all clamouring to buy stock in and won’t stop cramming into their products as the headline feature is intended to be dismissed? What?
AI isn’t needed for your example of keeping up with news and connecting dots of larger stories - that’s what good journalism is for. Your bunker example has been in the news repeatedly for a long time. It is hard for everyone to be informed of news as it comes though, personally I use a variety of reputable news outlets and still miss stuff. As others said though AI is not the best choice for keeping abreast of news because it can straight make stuff up, and that includes inventing sources for its claims so that they sound more believable - which is really bad if your aim is to be better informed. They also have inbuilt biases and topics that they won’t broach or will have canned responses for, set by their billionaire owners - much like legacy media, so they’re not a secret shortcut to the truth.
Just grab a dictionary or crack open the Wikipedia article to see what a ‘conspiracy theory’ is, because what you’re talking about isn’t one.
Billionaires have been building doomsday prepper fantasy islands/compounds/bunkers/silos for themselves ever since the mega-rich existed. New Zealand has been the locale of choice for quite some time, it’s not a theory (it’s fact), nor a conspiracy (multiple rich people buying private jets isn’t a conspiracy either), nor is it a secret (multiple major news articles have covered it for nearly a decade).
Your comment cherry picks the weakest language of the Wikipedia article and studies and ignores the rest. You’ll struggle to find any reputable study anywhere that says “our study proves that X does Y” like you’re asking, because thats not how studies language is conveyed and would be incorrect language to use in a medical study. When 20 studies all say “we have shown a strong correlation between cigarette consumption and cancer of the throat, mouth, and lungs” then you will hear scientists say “the link between cancer and cigarettes is known, and well studied” and news articles will say “cigarettes cause cancer”.
Your suggestion that the only way we’d know for sure is human trials of intentional PFOA exposure is… I’m gonna be generous and say… naieve. Scientists are perfectly fine with using lab, mouse, and emprical cross-sectional studies - that’s all valid scientific evidence. They don’t actually need to take the final Dr Mengele step of subjecting people directly to suspected toxins before they can draw highly accurate conclusions, especially for something like PFOA that has large sections of the population with high dosages that they can compare against those with low dosages already.
It’s borderline impossible to actually separate out PFAS levels from these other entangled variables, people who are heavily exposed to 1 type of pollution will also be exposed to many others, and theres a heavy association between living situation and PFAS exposure.
Not true. Just one example, we have many population groups that live in areas where groundwater is used for drinking that also live near a firefighting training base/station that has released huge amounts of PFOAs into the aquifers. These populations are otherwise quite normally distributed for age/weight/health/occupation and exposure to other chemicals and perfect for study of PFOAs and have been shown in studies to have much higher levels in their blood serum.
It’s fine though - if you wanna sprikle PFOA on your cereal or something until 100 more studies are done, I can’t stop you. But just know that your tendency to cherry pick data and your unconventional assessment methods of studies is giving you a very poorly informed choice.
“To poison” just means to make people ill by ingesting it. PFOAs are quite well studied and are known carcinogens, and definitely toxic according to multiple studies, this is trivial to find on Wikipedia, etc so… I dunno - seems like a contrarian take?
PFOA studies linking exposure to a number of health conditions, including thyroid disorders, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, testicular cancer, infertility and low birth weight. The list goes on, those are just some.

I don’t think they’ve done this out of a desire to help nor caving to public pressure, I believe they want to discourage users from being pushed to use third party app stores like F-Droid and finding out they’re good.
Lol no, the ‘owners’ of AI want you to think it’s the next leap forward of human evolution to pump their stock prices.
Can you give us some example of the conspiracy theories that you believe are ‘quite true’?
Did you comment on the wrong post?
At least they got the hands right
Either way it’s a goddamn amazing comeback.
If boss’ daughter did have an eating disorder and the boss is still calling out employees eating habits rudely and unprompted, then maybe a firm dose of reality is overdue.
I wonder why the TikTok owners would push the divisive conservative rage bait to the top of their feeds in Europe.
The goals of China, much like Russia, are to sew divisions amongst their strongest rivals on the world stage. So, the conservative garbage gets a big boost on the platforms algorithms.
Agreed, except for in the only place that really matters - because it has lifetime terms and determines how all law is interpreted by the courts - the supreme court.
I say this is the only place that matters because laws passed by congress can easily be undone by the next congress, however a two thirds majority is needed to make constitutional amendments (and other major changes) - so in other words, it all just swings back and forth between Super Shit (R’s) and Shit Lite (D’s), and the only time who’s in charge is very important is when there’s supreme court nominations up - because they can set the course for the country for 40 years.
And Trump nominated four of them.
I haven’t heard of him for ages. Had kind of hoped he’d faded to obscurity.
Ehh. The default setting of life is to be ignorant - not politically engaged. So when someone does something like this meme they generally just go back to (now willful) ignorance.
Essentially they’re Cypher from the Matrix, but instead of having their memories wiped with machine technology they use Ambien and Champagne.
No, this is from three years ago.
The stolen NFTs are now probably worth 35c.
