  • They do not send in SWAT for wellness checks

    In a Nov. 18 letter filed in federal court, attorneys for The New York Times named Balaji as someone who had “unique and relevant documents” that would support their case against OpenAI. He was among at least 12 people — many of them past or present OpenAI employees — the newspaper had named in court filings as having material helpful to their case, ahead of depositions.

    Unless stuff starts happening to those people, or there is some detail I missed in the article, it is much more plausible that this was suicide than some corporate hit, let alone one carried out using police violence? Is that what you were implying?












  • I have literally hated elon before it was cool. I don’t intend to defend him but I also am of the mind it’s important to be educated on opinions, or at least I strive for that for my own.

    I dont know the context of this quote but manufacturing, to me, sounds extremely plausible to me and maybe one of the few legitimate “skills” he actually has. Spacex and telsa is dealing a lot with manufacturing and the logistics of that. That is what I would presume his context was from this quote. Am I missing something?


  • https://naplesshelter.org/strangulation/

    any reported history of strangulation places the person at a higher risk for more serious violence or homicide by the hands of their intimate partner. Data on strangulation reveals a glaring picture of the severity of this type of assault. One in four women will experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime, and of those, up to 68 percent will suffer near-fatal strangulation at the hands of their partner.

    Of the victims, 97 percent are strangled by hands; 38 percent reported losing consciousness; 35 percent are strangled during sexual assault/abuse; 9 percent are also pregnant, and 70 percent of strangled women believed they were going to die.

    This article diffinerates between choking and strangulation; the former being airflow being blocked from applying pressure to your throat and the latter is blocking airflow and/or bloodflow from applying pressure on the side of your neck. I don’t think this is common knowledge and I would not trust anyone who put their hands on someone else’s neck





  • Im so glad you got her eating! I know how worried I am when my kitty is not eating.

    For future reference, Rapid weight loss is hard on kitty’s kidneys which they already struggle with. (Overweight is also hard on them) If you ever struggle with getting a cat to eat some other things you can try Adding hot water to wet food, microwaving for 2-3 sexonds, some sodium free chicken broth, I’ve stuck cat treats in before. My vet says the cheapest wet food is better than the fanciest dry food. That doesn’t apply with a prescription diet of course but it’s more important that they eat. You can call the vet and leave them messages for followup care and questions too. You did a great job and everything right!! this is more just for anyone who stumbles on this.

    P.s. Charlotte is absolutely beautiful little lady! Hope it’s all better from here :)
