Because it has been shown time and again that helicopter parenting like that is harmful to kids for all kinds of reasons, and it undermines the development of any trust between you and them. Kids, even young kids, need spaces for themselves - and they're going to find them. If you fill your home with cameras, you're just guaranteeing that the space they find won't be in your home. Cameras like that aren't helpful - they're harmful and selfish.
No, that lawyer was not doing their job. Getting thrown out of the room so you can't continue to advise your client is not doing your job. Fauci kept his composure better than that lawyer did, and Fauci very clearly didn't need his lawyer to support him to invoke the 5th.
They're grasping at straws for midterms, and Rand Paul's got a hard on for Fauci.
Right, but if you're young, high-income, have no family to support, and somehow have an extra $1k+/mo you don't know what to do with after matching 401k and maxing an IRA (which, let's be honest, doesn't apply to the vast majority of folks who might even see this video), there other, low-risk things you can do with that same money that give you better ROI/flexibility/etc. than a whole life insurance policy.
It's more than just a political stunt - they're trying to do an end-run around the pardon Biden gave Fauci. The sole reason for that hearing was to try and get Fauci to perjure himself, because that's the only thing they could charge him with at this point. Fauci has already answered all of those questions, on record, and under oath, in countless hearings before this one, on top of the GOP-led investigation that was already conducted and that also failed to find anything to fault him over.
I would lose more than $12k to fees (my entire cost for 20 years of term) on the whole life policy by the end of year 2, and continue losing money to those fees over the life of the policy, for the same payout benefit. An actual comparison would be the difference between investing, each year, (1) $12k into whole life vs. (2) $600 on term + $11,400 into an index fund. Even without any tax advantage, (2) wins every time and is far more portable/liquid.
Term life isn't "worthless" - it's a completely different product/goal. Yes, the no-pay rate is low, but the premiums reflect that. The only reason to get term life is if you have a family that relies on your income, and you only "need" it while that family relies on your income. It would cost me $12k over 20 years for a $1M term life policy. For whole life, I'd be paying $12k+ per year for that, only a fraction of which accumulates as cash value - it's not 100% utility.
Yeah. You go to any objective source for financial advice and they'll tell you that whole life policies are pretty much a scam. The kind of policy he's referencing doesn't really exist anymore. And, frankly, in this economy, it is *very* unlikely that a new grad would be able to max an IRA even if they landed a good job. Everything else in the video is solid advice, though.
I mean, that happens when virtually any kind of "useful shortcut" like this gets taken by certain people to mean "authoritative fact." Love languages are a useful shortcut to foster communication in couples, that's it. And like anything else, yeah, it can be abused.
Don't even have any planted.
Public parks are funded by property taxes in most places.
Because why not? You could turn it off. Plus, OP has the settings cranked - the default was much more reasonable and snappy. How dare the developer try and have some fun or engage in some whimsy.
Nobody has been able to make "general purpose AI" profitable, partly because nobody actually needs it enough to justify paying for it, partly because it still makes mistakes, and partly because open-source models that run on even a halfway decent desktop are already good enough for most folks who have a use for it.
The only industry where AI is actually profitable is software development, largely because we haven't trusted human devs for decades and already have tons of tools/procedures/etc. to check/validate code, all of which works just as well on AI output. So it's plug and play and very effective there. Unfortunately for Google, Anthropic already has that market cornered, OpenAI is a close second, and I'm pretty sure Grok, Kimi, and Qwen are all ahead of Gemini even.
Just a grifter *advertising* their grift. This quote alone reads like a challenge to some virtue signaling MAGA idiot that wants to prove how much they "believe" in Kirk and how not-cheap they are. Dude's probably gonna sell this statue within a month now.
Didn't the exact same thing happen with a policeman's ex-wife in the Afroman case?
That might be the question, but the answer here is simple - what he did was totally fine and supported by the folks there. Not to mention that we've got video proof that he wasn't a distraction to the other kids and so don't need to speculate based on personal feelings based on memories we don't have from that age.
The projection is strong with this one.
This has been his playbook for the past decade. Once they get their headline, they don't care. People have the attention span of a goldfish, and these cases getting dismissed/etc. never surface to the same extent because people/the media just moves on to the next thing they're trying to get headlines for.
The jury isn't supposed to know what the maximum is when they do those awards. Part of it has to do with the fact those maximums can change, part of it has to do with the fact that the damage award could be modified on appeal, etc., so it's easiest to let the jury pick a number and then have the judge sort it out after. The number is usually determined based on some combination of how much money the person got screwed out of, punitive damages, multipliers for egregious conduct, and so on.
I mean, him driving over it like that 100% damaged the reflecting pool, but those very clearly are not tire tracks. They look like they could be, but it is quickly apparent that it's from debris accumulating at the edge of the water as the pool was drained. The lines are far too wiggly/etc., they follow the contours of the floor too exactly, and so on. Situation is fucked enough as is - it doesn't need creative fictional interpretation on top.
When are people going to finally realize that these zingers do fuck all. People have been dropping sick burns of Trump for years, talking about how lame the GOP is for saying Let's go Brandon instead of "fuck" - meanwhile, the country is burning, and the GOP is in charge.
In the 90s, a 12 pack of Pepsi/Coke could reliably be found for $2.50.
They don't see them as people.
That cuts more to how it's used than anything else. LLMs are fundamentally and unavoidably unreliable, yes, and the "AI everything" hype is pushing them into spaces they have no business being. But that doesn't make them useless. The reason LLMs took off so quickly with software is because the industry already had piles of tools to catch/fix human errors, and those tools work just as well to catch LLM errors. The "shit gone wrong" headlines all come from folks ignoring those existing guardrails.
I was going through some old stuff the other day and found my old bible study notebook from high school, and that fucker is thick. These days, very much the staunchest atheist in my extended family.
Does it say specifically that he needs to die? Or can incapacitation/inability to continue performing the duties of the office be a sufficient trigger?
Legally, this does absolutely nothing - at least not anything folks are cheering it for. It's not legally binding on anyone, it doesn't "undo" consent you've already given, and it doesn't stop you from giving consent in the future. What it *does* do is fuck over anyone who's stupid enough to flag themselves as permitted or permitted with terms, because putting that genie back into the bottle is going to be near impossible.
It looks like an attempt was made, just not enough overlap.
Does he have to die, though? Or can he just be declared incapacitated/unable to perform the duties of office and replaced via special election?
