the domestic oil industry employs more than a couple hundred people. and i don’t think most people are ready to support a policy that sounds like “i want to take your job, the jobs of your friends and family, and destroy your town.” they aren’t going to vote to support progressive climate policy unless there is a solution to their very real concerns.
edit for clarification - i don’t think most of the people employed in that industry or in communities it supports are ready, etc.
he’s a parent.
probably after 9/11, but i already had questions as a kid connected to the cold war.
i would add tomatoanus for speedruns. really appreciate that he makes a point to remind people to be kind to themselves.
no, but i noticed water faucet handles all outside of tubs and showers
i don’t mind the humor, because good lord it’s so damn depressing otherwise.
i could say a lot in response to your comment about the benefits and shortcomings of algorithms (or put another way, screening tools or assessments), but i’m tired.
i will just point out this, for anyone reading.

i am exceedingly troubled that something which is commonly regarded as indicating very high risk when working with victims of domestic violence was ignored in the cited case (disclaimer - i haven’t read the article). if the algorithm fails to consider history of strangulation, it’s garbage. if the user of the algorithm did not include that information (and it was disclosed to them), or keyed it incorrectly, they made an egregious error or omission.
i suppose, without getting into it, i would add - 35 questions (ie established statistical risk factors) is a good amount. large categories are fine. no screening tool is totally accurate, because we can’t predict the future or have total and complete understanding of complex situations. tools are only useful to people trained to use them and with accurate data and inputs. screening tools and algorithms must find a balance between accurate capture and avoiding false positives.
more than you’d think, i’m guessing.
anyway, what’s it to you? if someone has an abortion and never chooses to have a child, why does that matter to anyone else?
i hope you will forgive me for asking something so personal (and i understand if you choose to ignore it), but - if you want a hysterectomy now and have been advised of the impacts, why is she unwilling at present?
Ken M, is that you? (i hope so!)
i have learned something as well. it’s a word that’s familiar to me in clinical context, i had not really thought about it as something linguists and creative language-smiths are thinking about until looking it up just now. 🙂
baby doesn’t have clear words yet, but he has body language and gesture, eye contact, prosody, shared attention, the give and take pacing of interaction. baby has picked up a good deal about how casual, comfortable conversation with the guys or a close family member works!
but why? why paintbrushes?
erhoslab is still around, last i checked. nice guy, nice voice, no screaming.
holy shit, that’s cool! i had not seen this style, thank you!
apparently western-wear is a thing in Japan. and honestly, they rock it better than we do!
i’m sorry to report this is already a thing in Texas. in a state where dying from heat is a thing.

i found someone via bbs in 1996, though we only dated a few months.
yeah, honestly f this thread. i went from smiling to wondering why i bothered to even look at lemmy today. ☹️
there’s gotta be something nice to look at instead!
