Without having stats to back it up, it seems perfectly logical to me. Cishet men are the people conservative views benefit the most, and they're the people folks like Andrew Tate specifically target. If I had to make a blind guess, I'd have said it's cishet men, too.

The odds that the first die landed on the correct number are 1 in 6, though, so if you're considering the throw of both dice as a whole, the chance is still 1 in 6 regardless of which die you throw first. (If you're rolling the unweighted die first and then evaluating the chance of getting a 7 based on that outcome, then you're correct.)

No, it wouldn't, as long as only one of the dice is weighted.

If it has a 95% chance to roll a 6, and a 5% chance to roll any other number, or a 100% chance to roll a 6, or a 0% chance to roll a 6, the chance is still 1 in 6 to roll a 7 with two dice (where either zero or one is weighted).

Nice of him to give them the heads up, so they can all go find new jobs now. Sure would be poetic if they all just moved elsewhere and left Amazon understaffed.

Since several journalists wrote about this issue, Meta has made it clearer to users when interactions with its bot will be shared to the Discover tab.

So it wasn't even an error that they were being made public? Holy shit. I figured the response would be 'Oops, sorry, that never should have been made available publically', but it seems the only error was that it wasn't made clear to users that it would be.

Yeah, I've been a T-Mobile customer for almost 20 years, never had much of a complaint, but this has me seriously looking at alternatives.

T-Mobile was one of the 20 or so companies that sponsored his birthday parade. I suspect they'd just bend over and take it.

Twenty two corporations and foundations are sponsoring the 250th Army Birthday Parade and Festival on the National Mall, according to the Army. General Dynamics and USAA are the presenting sponsors for the festival, which is also benefiting from a long list of companies and nonprofits including: the Gary Sinise Foundation, Bell Textron, Wounded Warrior Project Wal-Mart, GOVX, Leonardo DRS, RTX Corporation, Lockheed Martin, Leidos, Armed Forces Mutual, Boeing, First Command, General Electric Aerospace, T-Mobile, King George, InterContinental Hotels Group and the NFL.

Trump has a proven track record for releasing quality products that are exactly as advertised and always end up being wildly successful and definitely not scams or grifts. His brand is synonymous with quality and integrity. I don't know why you'd even question this.

Technology advances quickly and lawmaking advances slowly. 50 years ago, this wouldn't have been nearly as much of a problem, because the flow of information would be a lot slower, and fewer people would be exposed to these things. Today, Trump posts something hate-filled on the internet and his followers everywhere in the country see it immediately. Same goes for any other person with social media influence. If Elon Musk posts something provably false, tens of millions of people consume it. A hundred people can post the proof that it's false within minutes, and a fraction of those people will see it and even fewer will care.

The problem isn't the speech, the problem is the platform they're given.

4x the number of victims - he should require 4x the security, right? Bring in 4 precincts worth of police to escort him. Maybe they can requisition some of the tanks from the parade on Saturday. Just to be safe, you know?

I fully support that shift to AI customer service, on the condition that everything their AI support bot says is considered legally binding.

Despite pleading guilty to the charges, Keenan maintained that he is not sexually attracted to children, and had only stumbled upon the child pornography in 2017 while “searching for other images such as sunsets and beaches,” according to the decision.

He stumbled upon them in 2017 while searching for other innocuous images and just decided to save them and not delete them for 8 years. Seems like completely normal, well-adjusted behavior.
