Teens say they are turning to AI for advice, friendship and 'to get out of thinking'
Never forget that an “AI” is owned by a corporation.
Getting advice and friendship from one is not a good idea.
"Getting out of thinking" is even more scary.

Two of the most senior U.S. generals in Europe were key speakers in Germany. Surprisingly, perhaps, comments made by both did not provoke major reactions.UPI
I had a dream that there was an NCD road trip, and they were live streaming it. And, it was of course a happening. People where getting into wrecks around them. They were in some sort of large bus. (I think? You could only see what was in front. And, you couldn't see the hood of the vehicle or anything.)
And, they were able to telepathically communicate with the police, using their boomer energy, and get people pulled over.
The plot had something to do with fires. They were going to/from some place, that was on fire.
Honestly, the whole thing was very strange. Feels super random.

Aaron Kheriaty suggests the FDA look deeper at actual drug results
aaronkheriaty.substack.com/p/f…
There is plenty of data being collected in electronic form (like health insurance) that can be used to correlate drugs and vaccines to health (both good & bad).
I will note that my wife and I were having problems bearing kids until we got her off a specific high blood pressure medicine. I'm not sure that kind of data is being tracked but it should be.
The FDA should focus more attention on the critical role of real-world clinical data, beyond just the initial clinical trials, in the ongoing assessment of drug and vaccine safety and efficacy.Aaron Kheriaty, MD (Human Flourishing)

Newly released documents from Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard have shattered the official narrative surrounding Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Candid assessments were immediately overturned. The narrative was flipped, claiming that Russia had interfered to help Trump win.Hans Mahncke (The Federalist)
It was also revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National Security Agency (NSA) determined there was insufficient evidence to assert that Russia had hacked the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Yet these candid assessments were immediately overturned. The narrative was flipped entirely, now claiming that Russia had interfered specifically to help Trump win.

#bikeMechanics #unJourOrdinaireAlAtelier #nosClientsOntDuTalent
Realized a small goal the other day:
Have a #bicycle that can carry stuff, in case we need to #evacuate somewhere after an #EMP disables our vehicles.
During the April 2011 tornadoes - well, before the tornadoes - we saw the predictions on TV for multiple outbreaks, very dangerous storms - and I said to my wife, "I'll go get gas after they pass..." Well, I found that out both cars were on empty. When the power went out later that night, we were unable to find out the extent of the power outage (no updates on the radio), thus we didn't know how far we'd have to drive to get gas - or if we would even make it. We lived like that for a week without power. Local gas stations had gas, but the lines were miles long because they had to use generators and small pumps to get it out of the underground tanks, due to the power outage. It was warm (not hot, thankfully), but fights were breaking out in the lines. Even back then, my motto was "avoid crowds."
So I didn't have a way to efficiently carry groceries - I had a bike, but it was a full-suspension Gary Fisher Y-frame, so I couldn't really put a good rack on the back of it. I've been looking for a traditional frame bike ever since, but didn't want to spend hundreds. Then I found this Schwinn at a thrift store for $80. Found the bags a week ago in a classified ad for $30 for one, or $50 for both, so I bought both - they are 100% waterproof, and can detach and convert into a #backpack (handy in an #apocalypse!). Got the rack on ebay for $20, and voila! EMP / #Zombie #apocalypse bike.
Don't know where we'd go, but......
My background with bikes - I used to #bike everywhere, and I really enjoyed mountain #biking, but when I did a long distance trip at the age of 18 with a friend from high school, I was hooked on distance rides. We biked from Salt Lake City, Utah to Lake Powell - which was about 330 miles, and carried all our own supplies. We did it in 3 days, so we averaged about 100 miles a day. This was before cell phones. Looking back, that's kind of scary - out in the desert, miles from any services, just biking along. We braved some pretty bad downpours, but other than that, we were fine. We trained with a lot of shorter rides - 45 - 90 miles each - for months before the big ride. I borrowed #panniers from a guy at church, so this is the first time I've had my own.

Ah yes, there are still churches inside Gaza which the jews haven't bombed yet. Yemen? Yemen wanted them to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. And what about Syria? israel not only expanded it's borders, but they've resumed bombing them even though Assad is out.
So four fronts (pause with Iran is just so israel can replenish) and israel is the aggressor in each of these conflicts.

@Beeks correct, she should have voted yes on an amendment because that's the morally correct vote. Whether it was going to pass or not has fuck all to do with anything here.
The only thing that's insane is to keep making excuses and acting like anybody in the US political establishment is on the left. The US is a fascist state.
@mapachin yes, I'm aware, I mentioned it hours ago.
Essentially your argument is that she should have voted Yes to the dead amendment that even if it magically passed she would have had to vote against it anyway, but because she didn't she's now a Zionist pig.
I'm saying that's an insane jump that serves only fascists by further dividing the left.
