wait do you mean its not useful to try and sell me another fridge because I just bought a fridge?

Some have cameras on the inside that let you view the contents without opening it. Some have AI that use the cameras to track your food stock. I doubt either of these things justify the amount of resources they consume to accomplish this pointless bullshit.

oh no the government might spend more money!? i guess we can’t do that then!! nevermind that the government is already spending this money and all im suggesting is redirecting that funding to a different related department to make public officials actually invested in maintaining a historically neglected program that serves mostly the poor.

you’re right, instead we should discourage people from filing civil suits entirely by making sure only people who can afford to pay the defendants’ lawyers fees will file them. that is a much better solution.

Yes, but if we changed the rules we could, for example, add funding to the office of the Public Defenders and they could hire a special lawyer for civil cases against public servants available to anyone who doesn’t wish to pay for their own laywers.

“We should change the way things work.” “Thats not how things work” great argument buddy, glad we could hash this out.

Yep that is an accurate description of the way the broken system currently works. Thanks!

DNS is like Lupus in House. It’s never Lupus, except for those couple times when it was.

If public defenders are good enough for everyone else, they’re good enough for politicians. Maybe they’ll actually get some funding and support that way.

If the illegal immigrants are being handled to their satisfaction and those other problems persist then I guess the illegals weren’t the problem, were they?

we shouldnt have to afford a house

I imagine China has very little patience when it comes to Japan, given their history.

Lmao they source the photos from LinkedIn profiles. I’m sure that didn’t bias their training at all. Yes sir there’s no chance this thing is selecting for anything but facial features.

Edit: double lmao they’re all MBAs

Edit2: they didn’t even train the AI!! this paper is them just feeding linkedin photos into a third-party black-box API and then nodding thoughtfully at the results. i cant tell you how stupid the AI is because I can’t find any information about it or even the API mentioned in the paper.

The dems are truly masters of the art of the deal. All it took was a little bit of immiseration and they got some votes and an excuse to let the republicans set up their plan to cut welfare. They didn’t even have to miss thanksgiving.

the repubs got more than their initial ask: delta 8 THC is outlawed and now states cannot use alternative funding to pay out SNAP benefits in the future when this inevitably happens again.
