True, but such a shame.

Nah, didn’t miss it. We are just talking past each other as happens online, nbd. $1.7k is surely not enough to live on. Yet, it can make a huge difference to a low income person.

I do not know your circumstances, poverty is a unique experience that people who grew up with even just a tiny bit more security seem to not truly understand. We have sayings like ‘grinding poverty’ for a reason. IYKYK.

Yeah, I mean the Clintons were balls-deep in the origin of Third Way. Center-left, my shapley ass. They make Goldwater Republicans look progressive.

 

The list of words is from what the article describes as the ’center-left’ Third Way think-tank. Har har.

Yeah, that’s the way I write. It’s the other way around though. LLM are trained on a lot of academic writing.

So I guess, LLM sound like me?

It won’t change Jizzedina Davenport Vance’s mind. It will embolden others to do the same and eventually maybe he gets a proper crowd-sourced spa treatment.

That’s why I am a Wobbly. I was raised to be a white pro-labor racist by religious weirdos. Yet the best, kindest, most understanding friends I ever made on the playground were non-white.

I am grateful that I cannot tolerate cognitive dissonance and have distanced myself from racism and kept my pro-labor stances.

It’s a long multi-generational fight, but what else can a person who strives to be decent do?

The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.

Get fucked, Target.

Yes please! I volunteer to be Whitey if it’s a perfoart piece.

Every damn time I speak.

I’m sometimes exhausting…

He’s upset that Forbes did not do actual journalism. Anyone who looked into Theranos would have known that it was smelly from the beginning.

It was initially difficult to claim outright fraud, but the lack of peer reviewed research coming out of that company or that the diagnostics were even based on would have triggered anyone who was marginally competent in medical testing or even just biochemistry.

So Forbes sucks, and they printed what they were told.

If you have ever been low income, $1700 is enough to get your attention. You know where that money comes from and when you are low income, a sudden in flow of essentially an extra month and a half of salary for a rural person?

Well, you’re paying attention to that. So maybe have some perspective about what that kind of money means to a person who has a shitty truck and a barely adequate house and spends months in it through a long winter.

Training can be reinforced by opining on said media at work, with friends and online. Feedback from these other models in the form of their own wrong opinions about the media reinforces one’s own model to always be right.
