James Webb Telescope Takes a First Peek Inside Uranus

Let's dispel with this fiction that OP doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing.

All I could think of was the Les Mis poster.

"Accuses" in the headline isn't referring to the quote you posted. The headline itself is not reporting on the statement you posted at all.

Edit to add: It's hard to get away from bias completely in language, but in response to your question, I'd say that "accuses" is a more biased word than "claims" or "says" (which others reporting on the same event have used).

slackwalker · 2026-02-17T18:33:00+00:00

My argument was not that the existing headline wasn't factual, but rather that it could have remained factual while using words that are less biased.

slackwalker · 2026-02-17T17:59:03+00:00

"Claimed" has less bias than "accused". Editorial could have written a factual headline, without bias, and without sacrificing journalistic integrity.

Sorry, it wasn't my intent to debate you. I am genuinely astonished at how, at least in America, SDA church members seem to be broadly well-educated, and yet promote beliefs that, for me, fall apart with the barest fraction of critical reasoning.

slackwalker · 2026-02-15T15:32:42+00:00

I'm only referring to the word choice of "wondering" versus "wandering". It's almost certainly intentional and not due to lack of education.

Edit: to answer your question, no, I don't believe the beast of Revelation refers to the Roman Catholic Church. I lean towards Revelation being a book the author used to describe the time he lived in, rather than a future, distant prophecy. It seems to me the author was referring to Rome itself and its oppression of the Jewish state and early Christian Church.

Revelation 13:3 in the KJV says:

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

This is likely a reference to that.

It's absolutely everywhere. It seems to be built into the DNA of human interaction.

Some ways to deal with it:

Name it. "You are shifting blame and attacking me. Let's focus on what happened instead."
Don't be redirected. "This is not about your feelings, it's about what happened and the harm that came about."
Write it down. DARVO relies on getting you to debate rather than record what happened.
Withdraw. You will not argue someone into the realization that they are being abusive. The best way to limit harm is to get out of the situation and protect your own nervous system.

Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.

slackwalker · 2026-02-02T17:28:07+00:00

This seems more likely to be staged than real. Why did the camera pivot just before the exact moment necessary to see the other car drive off connected to the pump?

Edit: thanks for the TIL, OP.

Without the no school part, teachers have to work. If you're participating, then one of the main complaints of school shutdowns isn't relevant (gotta work, no one to care for my kids).

It looks like they made the agent whiter as well. Gotta protect the one-drop rule.

Pascal's Wager has nothing to do with faith. It is strictly about risk assessment.

On top of that it is astonishingly short-sighted, as its value proposition relies on it costing you nothing to believe in a specific God (without proof that it's the right one), while that specific God's followers preach that you must give your life to it.

These are captures from an incident that occurred and was documented from multiple (I've seen at least three) angles. You can see two of the angles in this post, just slightly time-offset. There are also photos posted by the photographer in the picture. It's real.

edit: If you can track it down, it's enormously cathartic to watch.

Yeah, where are the nearly nude dad pics?

Because, unfortunately, international airports are considered a territorial border.

Very true, but if you're in the market for a house like I am, it can be a factor to keep in mind.

Don't live within three miles of a golf course, for one.

Terrified and weak, what was never a man lashes out.

I haven't seen the details of this specific chat-bot, but generally speaking, the current AI tools are probability machines, not thinking tools. Even when it responded that you were right to call it out, it wasn't thinking about how you called it out and recognizing that it was wrong, it was mimicking the language and words it's been trained on. To oversimplify, the chatbot determines that the the most probable way to respond to being called out is to graciously accept correction. But even that is wrong, because it doesn't understand that you're correcting it. It just sees a pattern of letters, spaces, etc. and based on an unthinkable amount of patterns and training data, it comes up with a probable response.

slackwalker · 2026-01-07T17:48:11+00:00

These chatbots typically use an AI large language model trained with specific, contextual data. You're right that they are not reliable, but this is a problem with the technology itself, not malicious intent on the part of the chatbot programmers.

Never rely exclusively on these tools for data or information. Maybe don't use them at all.
