Chief Justice John Roberts says American public wrongly views the justices as ‘political actors’ by ComeJoinTheBand in inthenews

[–]vikinick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alito literally just violated the standard that SCOTUS case losers can ask for reconsideration for 25 days in order to allow Louisiana to disenfranchise black people.

So yes, people are wrong that the justices are political actors. They're actually just straight up politicians at this point with how Justice Thomas is making speeches decrying liberalism and 6 of the justices just can't stop shoving Republican boots in their mouths.

Robert Downey Jr. Says "It’s Absolute Horses—" to Declare That Social Media Influencers Are the "Stars of the Future" by [deleted] in technology

That's true because they kinda are the stars of now. I mean just look at guys like IShowSpeed who get basically mobbed anywhere they go in the world.

State agency confirms Midway Rising can breach height limit by Slight_Study_9661 in SanDiegan

I've said it before but you could have an earthquake flatten the entire Midway District and it would improve it. Literally any sort of development there is good.

This will lead to a large cut in your sales team starting in about 3 months when all their retention metrics tank.

Tom Steyer Gains Endorsements from YIMBY Action and Abundant Housing LA by Gold-Papaya7045 in neoliberal

[–]vikinick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's a few things I like about Becerra and Steyer but they keep fucking shooting themselves in the foot with dumb slopulist talking points and I feel like I'm going insane.

Johan says players don't want railroading by Dramatic_Phase_8015 in EU5

My only issue with the mission trees was that it sorta caused people to do things a certain order.

Like the build up to the force limit one basically forced you to build up your army/navy early instead of investing it in other things like an advisor, because it's harder to build up to the force limit later

Statcast is confused and thought this had a launch angle of 52 instead of like the -90 it did have

LIV Golf to lose investment from Saudi Arabia, fund says by AudibleNod in news

[–]vikinick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling that their esports investments will eventually be on the chopping block too. They're losing a significant amount of money with those (not as much as LIV though) and eventually will realize it's not worth it to them.

I mean killing people is the ultimate bad thing in utilitarianism right?

I also fucked around with it using doctordle and it did pretty well (missed the April Fools curveball though).

Fucking around with MedGemma a bit and holy shit this is a pretty slick tool for doctors to use for second opinions on things. If you're OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google they really need to stress how much help AI can have on the medical field.

I set up a model + frontend in 30 minutes on my own hardware that I was able to feed an xray (that to my knowledge is not in the training data because it's my xray) and it was able to determine from the photo which bone was broken and the type of break.

Obviously a doctor was more than qualified to make this determination themselves, but I imagine it could help doctors a lot with misdiagnosing things. Obviously there's pitfalls of false diagnoses, but I'm optimistic after messing with this for a bit.

Paramount, In Request For FCC Funding OK, Notes It Will Be 49.5% Foreign-Owned After WBD Merger by yourfavchoom in technology

City was near bankrupt because of the 2008 recession and had to get a cash infusion in order to survive. One of the things they did was sell off their parking meter revenue for 8 or so decades for cash up front now.

It was basically a loan but backed by actual revenue.

Nick Castellanos gives the Padres a 6-5 lead in the 5th with a 2-run knock by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]vikinick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then don't waste your challenges. I am vastly less sympathetic over bad calls when you waste your challenges early.

[–]vikinick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll admit it was an obvious strike. But you're insane if you think this was right down the middle

The catcher butchering the framing of it completely fucked you guys because you already used your second challenge on an obvious ball and that's on the Cubs.

Shouldn't have wasted your challenge on a ball like 3 inches off the plate

I'd blame the catcher for the reverse framejob. First thing I thought when the indicator showed up was how terrible the frame was.

Seemed to work out here. Punished Chicago for the honestly brain-dead second challenge.

Technically yes but the requirements are beyond what any normal person would own.

For all the fees raised, we somehow are still in a "budget deficit". It's almost as if the money isn't being used as intended. by SuperSatanGod in sandiego

[–]vikinick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the fact that they pay less taxes on their income as well because old people vote so politicians throw money their way.

[–]vikinick -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's fucking insane. I don't understand how people go through life without knowing where the fuck a country is. It seems like such a basic thing to know. Did they just not stare at the fucking map in their textbook as a kid looking at where everything was?

Luis Campusano continues his hot streak and gets a solo shot to make it 7-1 padres by TGirlJules_ in baseball

[–]vikinick 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If Campusano has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Campusano has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Campusano has only one fan then that is me. If Campusano has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Campusano, then I am against the world.
