Elon, that you?

Not necessarily and this is something the article doesn’t even bring up. While people are triaged before seeing the ER doc, the ER doc’s job itself is to triage and determine whether the patient needs to be further worked up in the hospital or outpatient. Often times an ER doc may not have a clue about the diagnosis but the critical thing to be correct about is if the patient needs to stay to get worked up. They give an example about docs who think a clot is due to an anticoagulant when the AI thought it might be due to lupus. The ER doc’s concern is that the patient be observed/admitted and the internal medicine team would likely make that catch (or the rheumatologist).

The early 2000s internet where people knew better than to give up their privacy for useless internet points feels so long ago. Someone should make bets on prediction markets how long before we find out Zuck/Thiel/etc buy that data or they get breached and it ends up on the dark web.

People who review footage for Meta in general see all types of shit and end up scarred.

The site’s utter shit now, astroturfed to hell and back. Only the hobbyist subs that don’t exist here or aren’t active here are worth going to.

I’m you in 10 years except I got the high paying job after sacrificing my 20s. In the short term, these waves will wash over you and go away so just bear them out and do something in the meanwhile to feel fulfilled.

Also, introspect some about how much putting off a gf is about your goals and how much of this is avoidance. Given you probably don’t have kids or other obligations outside of studying, you could probably date now.

I once booted Linux off a flash drive on a school PC just to see if I could in like 08-09 and nothing happened to me lol.

Annoyance shouldn’t be the goal, but will be a side effect. The main goal is to exert some sort of pressure. Like the Civil Rights Movement gave America horrid optics between Emmet Till’s open casket funeral and the state unleashing batons, fire hoses and police dogs on school children. It also exerted financial impacts through the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The Movement was super effective though unpopular during those times.

I think a lot of people don’t understand protesting and it’s in the state’s interest that this be the case tbh. Hence why they keep pushing sanitized MLK

France used West Africans to do a lot of the fighting then massacred a bunch of veterans who wanted payment afterwards.

US police departments also have a history of training with the IDF and the US is learning surveillance and profiling strategies from them too.

This is a super broad topic and is going to vary a lot by who the exploited and exploiters were and what type of society was present. I’m going to stick to Africa and the US white/black relations because that’s what I am the most read up on though I am nowhere near a historian.

Generally, POC got to keep their wealth or amass it if they were performed some sort of function for whites or were not perceived as a threat which would invite confiscation. Sometimes Europeans were not interested in settling a territory but were interested in extracting capital from that territory. In such cases, Europeans would rely on a few natives to do their bidding and those natives may have even had some administrative role. Think the Dahomey raiders of Benin, the Tutsi of Rwanda, Americo-Liberians (although technically not natives). There were those like the Ethiopians who resisted conquest and colonization altogether but I don’t know much about them.

When Europeans settled/colonized a land and thus extracted resources and administered that land themselves, IMO those POC’s best bet to maintain wealth was to not draw white ire. In the US, black people tended to do okay in DC as there was some access to well paying federal jobs and for the most part the federal government prevented race riots in the capital city. To this day, the DC and broader DC/Maryland/Virginia area tends to hold more successful black people. There were some black enclaves in Wilmington, NC (“The place for black opportunity”); Tulsa, OK(Black Wall Street); Atlanta (Sweet Auburn) and elsewhere where black people were well off financially. They made money through commerce with other black people until that white ire befell them. The Wilmington and Tulsa Riots destroyed those black communities. Atlanta had a race riot as well though successful black communities persist there.

I second Dreaming Spanish. OP could use Materialous/NewPipe or whatever method they use to watch YT anonymously. Anki also works.

Nearby Glasses is an app designed to detect smart glasses.

This tacticruel dork is kitted up like he’s deploying somewhere just to beat up on some abuela.

I don’t think it necessarily follows that omnipotence necessitates lack of emotion.

Lots of sites and Android apps (even the non Google ones) phone home to Google behind the scenes. I’d recommend using a tracker blocker/DNS blocking just to be sure…

And they tried to work with Persona for age verification until they got called out and backtracked. Peter Thiel has a stake in it. https://www.pcgamer.com/software/platforms/oh-good-discords-age-verification-rollout-has-ties-to-palantir-co-founder-and-panopticon-architect-peter-thiel/

The USPS is on Project 2025’s list to gut and privatize.

IMO there’s a significant drop off with local LLMs vs the mainstream ones. This can be mitigated somewhat though by using web search tools or using retrieval augmented generation.
