Hey babe, wake up. A new human-created, extinction-level event just dropped.

Whether math is invented or discovered is actually still a debated question in mathematics.

That it could be an incitement to violence is precisely what they will/have argue(d), I would guess.

It’s only a non-justicable political question when Republicans do it. That part is written in invisible ink, which is only visible if you sign your entity’s legal name diagonally across the written decision with a red pen.

Yes, he spent the equivalent of ~$105 if you make $100,000/year. If you make $100,000, spending $100 to buy the government? You’d be dumb not to.

Did they say it was the guy? I thought they were saying he was staying with other people at the hostel and this was someone they wanted to talk to, presumably one of the roommates, but idfk

It takes a truly bureaucratic mind—someone with a sensibility for relentless, daily tedium—to dismantle bureaucracy.

Democracy, by contrast, is far easier to unravel than state bureaucracy. Bureaucratic systems often outlast governments, as seen with the colonial administrations in Africa and South Asia. Bureaucracy is designed to be “portable” across different regimes and transfers of power.

Elon is likely facing a long and tiresome road ahead—one he’ll almost certainly abandon in some spectacularly embarrassing fashion within two months. Bureaucracy endures because it’s so deeply embedded in the everyday, utterly quotidian and entwined with, like, everything.

Agreed. A more granular map would be interesting to see. I mean, something like 65% of NY state’s population live in the NYC metro, which is a tiny part of a deceptively large state.

Re: Colorado, it’s just a relatively healthy state with a general ethos of living well. I think you’re seeing some of the urban effect through the Denver, Colorado Springs, etc. and the addition of rural areas of Colorado still having an outdoorsy culture, as well as (often) affluent rather than “rural poor.” Colorado has one of the lowest rural poverty rates in the United States.

And since Colorado would be in the 25-29.9 category now, it’s comparable to many states that also have comparable rural poverty rates. The fact that the states with the highest rural poverty also have the highest weights makes me assume obesity rates and poverty rates heavily overlap.

Edit: to the point, look at the county map for childhood obesity. You can literally point out almost every major city in the United States.

Lol it did a pretty good job. I was hoping someone would finish it.

So three North Americans walk into a bar at the top of the mountain.

The first guy walks up to the bartender and says, "

Is it possible they’re expressing admiration or paying you a compliment and not trying to invoke your smirking condescension?

Incidentally, according to the most recent CDC numbers, Colorado is no longer “green” on this map, just Hawaii and DC.

There’s only eight states under 30%. West Virgina tops the numbers at 41%.

~75% of the United States is classified as overweight or obese, which is staggering. It has to be pretty unevenly distributed even within states, because I live in a college town in a low-middle-weight state, and very few appear obese, and I’m regularly in a nearby major metro, and I don’t see a ton of obese people there either. Rural children are 10-15 times more likely to obese, so I’m guessing that is probably a major factor as well.

25-35% obesity rates covers like 80% of states, so the US is just fat and getting fatter.

If you’re alive you’re connected to all things and everything indirectly. Also if you’re dead.

This person posted this earlier today then deleted it when people started pointing out how gross it is. It’s all they’ve posted about.

Indulging this person’s fetish that they’re facilitating by using an LLM isn’t a great idea. You’re enabling someone who is probably in mental distress, and you’re spending way more time on it than they are. He’s just throwing responses into an LLM and copying the response over, and he’s indulging in the attention. This account is literally only this post and comments.

It’s creepy to think of some low-effort sweat slobbering over the attention from those willing to indulge his AI-constructed fanfic. Gross.

Yeah I heard they always have burnt tongues because they eat all their food before it becomes cool.

Yes, parents obviously still pay an important role. But we regulate many things for people under the age of 18 to generally good effect.

I was talking about Vancouver, TX. What are you on about?

And also they’re from lemmy.ca 😆

I meant in real countries.

Sorry, I’m originally from the upper Midwest, so I’m required to poke fun at Canada any time the opportunity presents itself.

A focus on appearance and current trends? My brother in Feist, you just described everyone under the age of like 40.

Edit: I guess Wikipedia says “modern hipsters” basically declined/disappeared around 2016-2017, which feels right.
