Patriotic Historians really been working damage control for ol Mr Dec of Ind. You’d think the all men created equal guy wouldn’t own more slaves than there are active NBA players, but you’d be wrong

Not snitching is a crime ig

Specifying NO STRAW with your drink because putting something in your mouth and sucking it is gay

No-Cardiologist wouldn’t help turn over a flipped tortoise in the hot desert sun, I can tell you that much

Oldhead as well. Originally found cth when curiosity got the best of me and I checked if there was a proudboys sub, and there was, but it was satire and most of the posters also posted on cth, and that’s how I found it

Decades of anti drug propaganda. Smoke is stinky. Illegal until very recently. Drinking has a lot more marketing money behind it

Think I’d pry give up

Real soup for my family hours

Rudeness can be a sign of confidence, and confidence is attractive.

Bigotry comes from and reinforces the status quo, so that’s pretty self explanatory.

Media also isn’t real life; it creates characters and drama for viewers to find entertaining. Riffs and roasts are easy to write (because the character is written to be roasted), funny, and catchy.

Also, social media has caused internet culture to bleed into real life. Internet culture was extremely reliant on roasts and flaming people, so IRL culture is becoming more like online culture.

In real life, the people I know who have many real and true friends are exceptionally sappy and loving and nice to their friends, so the concept of the “cool jerk” doesn’t hold water once people can choose to be around them or not

Will I learn Spanish better by watching reruns of shows I like (1) In English with Spanish subtitles, or (2) in Spanish with English subtitles?

My Spanish is ok-not-good ( ) and the part I struggle most with is listening comprehension of spoken Spanish

Dr. Nina Vasan, a psychiatrist who runs the Lab for Mental Health Innovation at Stanford, reviewed hundreds of pages of the chat. She said that, from a clinical perspective, it appeared that Mr. Brooks had “signs of a manic episode with psychotic features.”

The signs of mania, Dr. Vasan said, included the long hours he spent talking to ChatGPT, without eating or sleeping enough, and his “flight of ideas” — the grandiose delusions that his inventions would change the world.

That Mr. Brooks was using weed during this time was significant, Dr. Vasan said, because cannabis can cause psychosis. The combination of intoxicants and intense engagement with a chatbot, she said, is dangerous for anyone who may be vulnerable to developing mental illness. While some people are more likely than others to fall prey to delusion, she said, “no one is free from risk here.”

Mr. Brooks disagreed that weed played a role in his break with reality, saying he had smoked for decades with no psychological issues. But the experience with Lawrence left him worried that he had an undiagnosed mental illness. In July, he started seeing a therapist, who reassured him that he was not mentally ill. The therapist told us that he did not think that Mr. Brooks was psychotic or clinically delusional.

Thought this part was interesting to include, especially for them to refer to cannabis as weed without quotation marks
