The answer is probably “yes”

1. Food is probably worse.
2. Your taste buds might have changed.
3. Your gut bacteria might be different.

I have a couple reasons for believing each.

1. Nutrient concentration in food has decreased over time (Veritasium talked about a fascinating explanation for this) and the desire to find low cost alternatives like HFCS over cane sugar changes the taste of food.
2. “Children prefer higher levels of sweet and are more sensitive to bitter tastes until adolescence.”
3. Your gut microbiome literally changes over time.

According to Forbes, Musk is currently #1 and Arnault is #4.

This doesn’t make sense. How could the “Abandon Harris” movement start late last year when Harris wasn’t even the candidate?

Watch her other interviews. She’s always nervous and fidgety. She claims she gets uncomfortable doing those staged interviews for press circuits.

I know it’s not the point, but it’s weird to call things “9/11 scale attacks” when you consider how many buildings were leveled in Gaza.

Your analogy requires a powerful faction of people in Poland directly shooting rockets at Russian-occupied Ukraine. Still a significant event, but this descent continually shows the problem with analogies.

They are programmatically token predictors. It will never be “closer” to intelligence for that very reason. The broader question should be, “can a token predictor simulate intelligence?”

what’s easier? Convincing everyone you know to download signal or whatsapp or matrix or whatever or having that built into the text app [convincing everyone to buy the same phone].

FTFY

When presented this way, the choice is very different.

Harris is a common name for Americans. Sarah is too. Her name isn’t Kalama. The error shows how exotic it is to you and your autocorrect.

I hear female supporters refer to her as Kamala. I think it might have more to do with the uniqueness of the name. I don’t know of anyone who referred to Sarah Palin as Sarah.

That sub doesn’t seem to have had content based on way back machine archives.

This isn’t a big issue.

This sounds like Rubberduck debugging.

I wish all the people on the left who think Hillary were going to get picked were gamblers. You could stand to make a lot of money off of them being wrong.

Hour vs. hour it’s the best form of transportation

You get more space, there’s no TSA, you don’t get charged for bringing luggage, you can carry on liquids, you get leg room, the wifi is decent.

But if I’m traveling a really far distance… For example, if I’m going from California to New York I’d rather go by plane. Going by train for that seems to be pretty horrible. America is in desperate need of a ground transportation that can get from California to New York quickly.

there were enough checks on his power that he mostly managed to simply be incompetent and chaotic

There were no real checks. He had way too many Republicans in Congress for there to be. Most of what protects America is gentleman’s agreements that we all assume a normal president wouldn’t defy.

If the leader of the FBI attempts to investigate him again, they could just hire a new one who won’t.

That is literally what happened last time. The house (where Republicans are a majority) wouldn’t pass a bill that makes firing the FBI director illegal so there’s no real difference.

That just makes me wonder so much more. How do we know they were Syrian and how do we know where they live without finding them?

Police couldn’t find them, because they lived 2 apartment buildings down.

I don’t understand this part. Shouldn’t that be the very reason why police should be able to find them?

It’s a spoiler for the movie, so I’m tagging it.

I’ve seen a movie where this is basically the plot.
