Musk accuses Trump whistleblower Vindman of ‘treason,’ says ‘he will pay’
  • Jfc yikes, vindman suffered quite enough already for doing his duty, his testimony during the impeachment trials was clear, well articulated, and not inflamatory. He said he trusted America to have his back for doing the right thing, too bad more than half of all US voters betrayed that trust.

  • Lemmings, of Lemmy, Have you ever mudered anyone?
  • People like to ask edgy questions to get imaginary points or to feel important by getting hidden information, people are goofy.

    Why are people religious? In part because it's human nature to want to know things that other people don't know. Fake hidden knowledge is a sweet treat to a truth starved brain

  • Far-right candidate takes shock lead in Romania presidential election
  • I think it may be a mistake to avoid listening to positions other than your own because you internally categorize the sentiment as the enemy.

    It's mildly inflamatory to say that critiques of a system are equivalent to "an infection" and can stifle reasonable discussion

  • Elon Musk has become a perfect punching bag for Harris and Walz
  • Proxies are effective political attack vectors, see: politician's family like hunter biden, non running candidates like joe biden, talkshow hosts who speak positively about one or the other candidate

    This kind of focal shift happens all the time, evidently to pretty decent effect, elon husk making himself the center of the R campaign brings his positive and negative baggage with it.

    Side note

    Husk isn't a US citizen so this is his peak political influence

  • How do you battle depression by your own?
    1. Sadness and depression are chemical events in your brain that you have no conscious control over
    2. You can consciously control some of the common triggers that lead to negative thoughts but most people can't completely turn off given thoughts
    3. Your brain is like the earth and thoughts are like rivers, the more you think certain ways the more you will continue to think those ways, neural pathways are strengthened by their activations

    Learn to redirect, wear a bracelet or similar physical reminder of a specific thing you like, when you experience the thoughts you want to avoid, redirect and focus on the things you like

    Change your environment, identify triggers that push you toward depression and avoid them. Some literally cannot be avoided, and some situations are impossible to escape, in those cases accept the associated negativity and redirect

    Find people who have the attitudes and feelings you want to emulate and spend time with them, we are social and learn much from our peers

    Ingest media that aligns with your desired world view, avoid tragedies, horror movies, gore, popular doom news media, etc. This will force you into an echo chamber but it is a popular coping technique

    Most important you are your own person, write down how you feel and what triggered those emotions every day. You can't really know if you're improving if you don't have a record

  • AI surge triggers job loss fears, calls for worker support
  • Absolutely impossible to read the source article without adblock, the state of the web is so terrible, 6 ads surrounding the first paragraph.

    Regardless of the article's content I can attest that organizations I work with are replacing humans in the Philippines and Malasia with modern voice based AI, and "saving money"

    As the technology improves, which is already in the pipeline with new models being baked as we speak, we really need to think of the humans. My career is in software, it's always been challenging to avoid making software that makes people redundant, and most firms don't even consider the cost

  • Diabetes Breakthrough: New Treatment Eliminates Insulin for 86% of Patients
  • Dr Celine Busch, lead author of the study, commented, “These findings are very encouraging, suggesting that ReCET is a safe and feasible procedure that, when combined with semaglutide, can effectively eliminate the need for insulin therapy.”

  • Study: Dark matter does not exist and the universe is 27 billion years old
  • I think in the dark matter/expansion model the idea is that light is stretched due to the universe itself expanding, but maybe I misunderstood the premise. Regardless of the veracity of the dark matter model, the original question of the mechanism of loss is still relevant I think.

  • Study: Dark matter does not exist and the universe is 27 billion years old
  • So "tired light" could explain redshift, light that loses energy over time, but where would that energy be going? Heat loss somehow? Energy can't be destroyed according to our current understanding so I'm not sure I understand the mechanism of decay

  • How much of your nose can you see? This is my POV

    I wonder if there's anyone out there who can't see their nose at all?
