i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

Theoretically, everyone deserves the right to do what they want to their own bodies.
But in practice, these laws lead to further devaluation of disabled lives. They invariably lead to people choosing MAID because they can't afford healthcare, cajoled into this cheaper choice by an uncaring system.

When OpenAI was founded, it was most afraid of causing catastrophe. Today it seems more afraid that users will churn. I wrote about the company at 10: www.platformer.news/openai-10-no...

This just seems like blatant, unwarranted cruelty. Truckers make so little $$$ as it is - why are they attacking an industry that no one is talking about - no one is focused on? This will just increase inflation and prices for consumers. @#)(*#$@~
The U.S. Transportation Department is threatening to shut down thousands of truck driving schools, part of the Trump administration's widening crackdown on industry.
