Give me the confidence of a fiction writer to chide others in areas they have no expertise in

"Children are born psychopaths" is a) not supported by evidence, and b) some bullshit. Brought to you by an exchange that made me remember the phrase, "Lord, give me the confidence of an inferior white man."

Nah kids are pure psychopaths and it’s society that makes them halfway decent

When children tease, they are imitating the adult world. And they are using their only power -- ridicule -- to try and impose the racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and other prejudices of the world, wherever they can. It's why "anti-bullying" campaigns do not work.

If Democrats are confused about how to handle tough questions about their nominee's fitness for office, they can just look at the thousands of examples of Republicans avoiding, deflecting, and redirecting similar questions about Trump over the past 8 years.

Leftists for the record have been agitating against Biden as the nominee for a long time and intensified efforts during the primary It's the center-left elites that were fine with Biden up until the second the media began asking them hard questions

lol no you just present a united front and ride out the bad press like the republicans have done with every single trump scandal

sorry but this is just wrong. yes, there’s a bad faith media feeding frenzy. but *fifty million* people watched Biden sputter his way through that debate. it is not a creation of the media, it is a real problem.

Hey this is my asshole guess I know who I’m calling on Monday

Can’t speak for arts but twitter definitely was a a way to break into sports analytics cause everybody who was anybody was there. One of my first well known projects was built using the twitter API! And now that just doesn’t exist

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

I love how the Democratic Party has just decided to implode after one bad debate performance six months away from the election

Sorry to all my lawyer friends who spent a bunch of time learning how law works in the US. I had friends who were Flash developers and things turned out alright for them after they pivoted to C# or whatever. Hopefully there's an equivalent for our national legal system

Wtf does this mean? Also maybe they shouldn’t have immunity for official acts

Breaking news: The Supreme Court rules presidents have "absolute" immunity for clearly official acts. “There is no immunity for unofficial acts,” the ruling states. Follow live updates:

explain to me how once you've got a suspect on the ground and incapacitated it's still necessary to shoot them in the chest for your safety

Video shows NY officer fatally shooting 13-year-old on ground. Police say he pointed a replica gunapnews.com Newly released video shows an officer in upstate New York fatally shooting a 13-year-old boy who had been tackled to the ground after he ran from police while pointing a replica handgun.

Anyone who says Biden should step down aren’t serious people.

American Airlines has the worst in flight WiFi

Lol it’s fucking fake my guy

While I agree that Trump's treason and criminality have been normalized by mainstream media in dangerous ways, the concern about Biden isn't a manufactured panic. If you watched Biden say "we finally beat Medicare" and think the panic is fake, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Not gene parmesan! I bet it’s a ruse because he’s on a case

Literally nobody is saying this other than editorialists trying to drum up attention

Analysis by Aaron Blake: Thursday night's debate has led to calls for Biden to step aside from the election, including from those loyal to him. Making a change would be far from easy. But here’s who has surfaced before — and could again.

Should be national news: - Cop accused of grooming & raping 15 year old - Two other cops had sex with her in cop cars - She gets pregnant, found dead - Cop was last one to see her alive, in apt where she was found - Ruled suicide with no tests on DNA evidence - No criminal charges against anyone

sure seems like this cop who groomed and raped this child then impregnated and murdered her www.bostonglobe.com/2024/06/24/m...

Death of Sandra Birchmore was a homicide, prominent pathologist says - The Boston Globewww.bostonglobe.com The finding contradicts the 2021 conclusion of the state medical examiner, who ruled that Birchmore, a young woman who was allegedly groomed by three former Stoughton police officers, died of suicide.

That’s not how the first amendment works

Not a first amendment issue. A foreign country or entity has no 1st amendment right. Further, the 1st A is not coverage for harming citizens of the US. Someone looking over your shoulder to steal your bank password, or other nefarious intent is NOT protected.

Richard Lynn’s racist national IQ data sets and papers that use them should be retracted. New piece in Stat News from @dsamorod.bsky.social, @stairwaytokevin.bsky.social, @jedidiahcarlson.com, James Lingford, @rebeccasear.bsky.social, Cathryn Townsend, and me

Removing the top 1000 of a distribution would change where the mid point of that distribution is whether that changes the value would be unknown without having the full distribution.

The median income in the US is $74,500. If you exclude the top 1000, it’s still $74,500, because that’s how medians work you fucking knob.

I’m always amazed when people post about how AI wrote 80% of their code for an app. So can a medium article, that’s the easy part it’s the other 20% that you’re paying people for
