You know what disconnects you from God? Greed. Too much money. That’s what disconnects you from God. You cannot serve both God and Mammon. The Bible never mentioned fluoride.

Naturists are often naked in their home. Lots of people are naked after a shower. He could have gotten home tired, order food, have a quick shower, and crash on the couch after that.

A deliverer should just ring the doorbell and wait at the door, not enter uninvited or try to peer inside.

I mean, it could have been an intentional exhibitionist setup, but it doesn’t have to be. And entering someone’s home and filming them sleeping naked, sounds a lot creepier to me.

I mean, the guy could be a creep, but he could be innocent too. She might be the innocent victim, but she might also be the creep here. We only hear her side of the story.

Then why the shutdown?

The fact that she filmed him inside his own home certainly sounds iffy to me. Do door dashers carry a body cam that films everything? That could explain how she accidentally filmed him. But if she filmed him intentionally, inside his own home, then doesn’t that technically make her the sex offender in this story?

Is she the victim, though? From what I understand, the guy wasn’t at the door, but asleep (or pretending to be) in his own home, which should be entirely legal. The “more info” link says the door was ajar and she filmed him. If she pushed open the door, entered his home and filmed him there, she might be the sex offender here.

Of course if he set this up intentionally, that’s exhibitionism (not voyeurism, as the article incorrectly calls it), but still, inside his own home. I feel like that should be a safe place where you can dress or undress however you like. Although being visible from the outside might be an issue. I think this issue hinges on whether she had to push open the door or enter his home to see him exposed.

Then what is the issue with that shutdown? Use that money to pay government employees first.

Didn’t Mamdani beat Cuomo already? Does he need to beat him again?

I hope Mamdani says something like that during the debate.

Isn’t there a shutdown? Because they can’t agree on a budget? And now there’s no money even to pay government employees? So where is this money suddenly coming from?

Well, that’s where the bar is. In Venezuela, and soon maybe also in the US, if Trump gets his way.

And without elections, it’s going to be a lot harder to get change.

Don’t worry too much about the rat race. Take time to enjoy life and experience things with people you care about. The best moments in life can be really small things.

At the same time, don’t waste too much time doing nothing either; use your time well, but use it to develop and improve yourself, learn something useful. Get a job you enjoy or consider important, at least. Doing work that you enjoy or consider important is far more valuable than the money you make. But don’t ignore the money either. Just don’t sacrifice your soul for it. Don’t work yourself to death for a boss who doesn’t appreciate you. Don’t burn your relationships for money.

I’m no fan of Thatcher, but at least she did respect elections. Maduro does not.

Venezuela has been at odds with the US since long before Trump deployed those warships.

That is much clearer than the article puts it. Thank you.

The analysis, published last week in the journal Nature, showed that children diagnosed before the age of 6 were more likely to have behavioral difficulties—such as problems with social interaction—from an early age. In contrast, those diagnosed after the age of 10 were more likely to experience social and behavioral difficulties during adolescence.

So if you have behavioral problems early, you’re more likely to get diagnosed early, when you have behavioral difficulties later, you’re more likely to get diagnosed later.

The phrasing here seems to want to imply a reverse causal relationship, but I’m pretty sure the conclusion here is that kids don’t get tested for autism before they display autism-like behaviour.

As for the actual causes of autism, I recently read that the genetic and family is about 60-90% of the causes, making it by far the biggest cause, and not environmental factors like RFK likes to suggest. But it’s not a single gene, it might be other stuff, and it’s not an on/off thing but a big pile of factors that add up.

But there are also environmental factors that do have an impact. Not vaccines or Tylenol, but some kinds of pesticides, for example. Maybe that’s something RFK could focus on.

Wait, is Jutta Leerdam dating Jake Paul?

Is this the new Smooth Criminal video?

Everything to destroy US farming, right? Block exports of crops, block imports of necessary machinery.

It’s always the customer who pays. I thought people knew that by now.

They lucked into it. They made their cards for gamers, and various groups, AI researchers, bitcoin miners and others, discovered that they those gamer GPUs were really good for other tasks too. I think it took a while before Nvidia started making specialised cards for those purposes.

I can’t really blame them for serving that market that they just lucked into. I can and will blame them for their terrible Linux support.

Well, they now control all the money, so they can decide all the value.
