MURICA: Civic pride in the local shooting.

In defense of jargon:

coming up with new ideas and expressing them to others requires new vocabulary. You can't simply say things in "plain English" especially when you want to communicate with peers.

This is why academia is so often refereed to as a discipline; you must train yourself in new ways of thinking. Making it accessible to the layperson is the job of scientific communicators, not scientists at large.

And it's not like this is a unique issue with acedemia, every organization I've ever participated in had special vocabulary if it was necessary or not.

They probably tried to wire up Trump but it didn't work because it depends on him listening, understanding, and following what he's told.

He's so transparent. The internal polling must be showing him getting murdered among women, prob worse than the national polling shows.

That or he's just stung by the implications of being unpopular with women.

NAS- One Love (Illmatic, 1994)

The song is about a street criminal writing his friend in prison. It's actually a literary form called "Epistolary", where the narrative is in the form of documents, usually letters.

So anyway the song is full of the street lingo, misogyny, drug use, and violence you've come to expect from "gangster rap". But just underneath, it's also sweet and affectionate. The song is vulnerable and positive about masculine and platonic affection despite the most toxic context imaginable.

I'd rather have an Israeli pager than an NFT Tamagotchi.

FYI: Defibrillators don't start the heart, they stop it.

The heart doesn't stop in many heart attacks. Instead it just beats erratically and in a way that doesn't pump blood well. Shocking the heart to stop it (what a defib does) causes the nerve cells to "reboot" and start beating regularly again.

Shocking a victim who's heart has stopped is useless and automatic defibrillators won't go off until they've detected the arrhythmia.

When are publishers going to realize there is only a market for like 2-3 Live service games at any one time?

You cannot underestimate the stupidity of games publishers. I'd be willing to accept that sunk-cost alone is the explanation for this outrageous budget. It probably started out as "what's $200m for the next Fortnight?" and just went in $5 or $10 million dollar increments from there.

At the bottom of the article it's speculated that he was mistaken for a spy which is the obvious likely answer. But maybe he fucked the wrong commander's girlfriend, we'll never know.

Did anybody look at the reporting CNN did? They linked his email, real name, and a favored username all across his socials. Other details like his age and location further confirm the user on the porn site was him.

Honestly, it's scary to think if someone did this to me. Even if you had good opsec, with the help of AI, you might be able to correlate online accounts through writing style alone.
