People are already whining about this coming weekend’s time change.
Come on … it's not like you need to manually reset your clocks or spend half a day figuring out how to adjust the time on the VCR only to end up with a flashing display for another 6 months.
Now, that was true hardship.
The news cycle hasn’t slowed for a second.
Moments like this demand clarity. They demand context. They demand journalism that isn’t afraid to ask hard questions.

🧵3/3 Nor Can We Allow AI to Kill Us
Hegseth is firing Anthropic because he wants no limits placed on his ability to recreate the 1983 War Games movie, where a computer autonomously waged war & killed. Anthropic, understanding AI requires a human to be in such a deadly loop, refused.
If a problem has a geometric shape that you have good intuition about, you could of course just go with your gut and wing it.
Or you can use the amazing powers of machine learning, analyze the properties of the problem by doing ground truth approximation on a few gigabytes of data, and an hour of training a few networks later you end up with... the same answer.
But, hey, science!
Hey everyone, I imagine you’re kind of tapped out with Minneapolis mutual aid fundraisers…but if you have a few bucks, this fund for rent & grocery support in my school / neighborhood is looking kind of strapped and will shortly be unable to meet ongoing needs:

Yeah, Orban is losing power. I am not denying the seriousness or danger of the situation, but I absolutely believe in the strength of the Hungarian people. On top of that, #ETTD is undefeated so they've got that working for them too.

Growing Fears That Hungary’s Orbán May Cancel Next Month’s Election
As polling shows the opposition widening its lead, observers worry the prime minister is preparing a drastic step to retain power.H. David Baer (The Bulwark)
Certainly. The EU Constitution would be better for having a work around for situations like this, since it can happen anywhere.
Assuming there's no major difference between men and women excluding their gender roles, I don't get why would anyone want to reinforce the same system that oppresses them. Maybe it would be more effective to teach people that their gender has nothing to do with the person they are instead of pushing transgenderism to little children who can't even conceptualize the concept of gender yet
"But you are transphobic heartless bastard monster etc etc etc" idgaf man a friend of mine died because of this. You're playing with people's life. If they really don't like the gender they're assigned at birth they can do that later in life when their brain is developed enough to make conscious choices. Transgender people are like 1% of the population and 99% of the population is cisgender, it makes no sense at all to do that considering it's an incredibly small minority of people. If percentages were like 40% or people, that would have been understandable but psychological burden and straight up confusion is too large and the good intentions don't justify the psychological burden

There was one brand of red sichuan pepper that I once had that had a similar sounding thing with it.
But it was just one brand, so I wonder if it's brand and/or cultivar specific?
Because the ones I use all the time feels like they don't have that issue 
But even then that was only when I used the peppercorns as a topping spice, not in cooking
This is my first time cooking with it myself, so I have no basis of comparison. But definitely just the first with many to come. It was good.
I like mixing red and green ones x3
Red for aromas, green for more numbing c:
Usually 2:1 ratio of red to green :3
Green ones can be a lil tricky to find sometimes! x3
They are much heavier on the numbing feel c:
What happens to the software industry as companies stop hiring and training juniors because of “AI”?
Especially with the regular attrition due to burn out, career change, or retirement.
You get lots of people who can vibe code, but have little expertise.
I fully expect to see many disastrous incidents over the next few years as companies ship software they don’t understand.

"We did not start this war." — Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of War.
It is a phrase we have heard before. Putin used it. Lukashenko used it. Across conflicts and continents, the rhetoric remains consistent: denial of instigation, assertion of defensive action. It reveals how wars are framed to the public—always as response, never as choice. Perhaps the more urgent question is not who started it, but who has the courage to stop it.

Something very interesting happens with the #psychology of my emotions as I remember my past self. I wonder if anyone can help me theorise this.
So I cast my mind back to decades ago, pre-transition. I remember dancing at a club, feeling incredibly self-conscious. Feeling ashamed of my body, my clothes, my very being. Feeling that everyone there was judging me. Looking longingly at the girls around me, not knowing if I more wanted them or wanted to be them.
All these feelings I remember, intellectually. But not viscerally. I remember that I felt ashamed of my body, but not what it felt like.
First of all, what is the exact nature of this distinction?
Secondly, why am I experiencing this?
