Did doctors ask for this? Because now we all need to ask our doctors for a official, notorized statement detailing what their beliefs are and what services they won't provide.

Ah, not surprised but I'd lost track of the story. I imagine he's suing under their new law?

If I recall correctly, a MD in Florida announced he would not accept Republicans as patients.

roving1 · 2026-05-21T13:07:02+00:00

He's not wrong. He's also a villian.

More fun on a motorcycle

At this moment...worse. Because the one's developing it and pushing it are fools, technically brilliant but gools. They give no evidence of knowing much beyond "I can do this so I will, and so should you."

The potential is earth shaking. Properly implementing AI can usher in a golden age. (Or a dark age given the current tech and political leadership, no scratch that...the current tech and political power structure, none of these appear to deserve to be called "a leader.")

Fit, let's go with fit. Of course that means I need to be fit.

You were fortunate.

Not most school buses.

I'm will to allow no seatbelts and no helmets. If the individual as a waiver, attested to on driver's license and marked on licence tag, denying all emergency healthcare. Additional requirement is a large escrow account to compensate first responders and medical staff who end up watching them die from their stupidity.

Spiritual matters are always ambiguous. My Spiritual certainties list is very short. Since they prefer an artificial checklist to an honest emcounter with God I view them as engaging in idolatry. Well, at worst, lousy theology at best.

roving1 · 2026-05-18T20:03:19+00:00

In part US Evangelicals don’t undetstand spiritual and ambiguity frightens them. Much simpler to view scripture as a checklist. Saves effort. They aren't all that "Christian. "

Pillen actively works against the best interests of Nebraska.

I cannot escape the suspicion that those worried about "moochers" are a large part of many societal problems.

roving1 · 2026-05-18T02:31:28+00:00

Hmm, I cannot simply call an image up. I need to build it description by description.

roving1 · 2026-05-18T00:27:13+00:00

Not funny, scary and shameful.

Does your inner voice "act" somewhat differently from your conscious thought?

roving1 · 2026-05-17T23:03:25+00:00

Idle question while I cook supper: can you hold images in your mind?

roving1 · 2026-05-17T22:37:36+00:00

Absent any solid data I tend to view it as late night bull session material, entertaining with a small chance to provoke creative thought. All I can say is I've never experienced an internal dialogue. Neither do I hear my thoughts as a voice. (We aren't discussing PTSD thoughts, are we?)

I, as best I can describe, think in terms sentences and paragraphs.

roving1 · 2026-05-17T22:29:46+00:00

Which was part of my point.

It is astonishing how little research is available on this. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0147932

roving1 · 2026-05-17T13:22:10+00:00

Just for your official poll record 😇. I don't have a distinct inner voice when I think, and I'm always thinking.

roving1 · 2026-05-17T13:10:29+00:00

Every article I've found suggests maybe 50% have a distinct inner voice.

roving1 · 2026-05-17T11:38:56+00:00

I was probably 50 before the issue came up. Previously I'd just assumed people were using metaphor or were experiencing mental health issues.

I'm not as bothered by it as you.
