“This is why billionaires are billionaires,” Kise said of Trump’s ability to see the value of his “trophy” properties.
Because they lie, cheat and steal?
Also…
By contrast, the AG’s lawyers will ask the judge to find Trump and other defendants, including his adult sons and his family business, liable for fraud even before a jury starts hearing evidence.
James accused Trump, his children and his company of “grossly” inflating the former president’s net worth by billions of dollars and cheating lenders and others with false and misleading financial statements.
Fraud at this level is a felony in the State of NY. I hope if this civil case goes through, criminal charges are brought for all of them.
Former President Donald Trump, who has claimed that he would personally be able to end the Russia-Ukraine war “in 24 hours,” has demanded that Republicans “defund all aspects” of the government as the September 30 deadline fast approaches.
You’re not president dude. You’re a traitor, a rapist, and about to have a bunch of felonies.
You don’t get to demand shit.
And hey, loser, you lost the election.
And hey MAGA GOP, keep going down this rabbit hole and you may end up in prison too.
Dropped a proctored online math class over the summer because of this. Chronic pain, chronic mental health conditions, was struggling with identity issues being a bisexual male.
I did not want to be doing something stressful with someone recording me. Was assured everyone has to do it and we always proctor math exams (been taking online courses since covid and never had to deal with this).
Same course, different instructor this semester. Not proctored. Uses worksheets to make sure students are learning the material and not using AI or cheating some other way.
Not sure if the stink I raised over summer is why. I suspect not based on how I was treated. I think he’s just a better teacher that knows how to combine the online courses with traditional techniques more skillfully. The other instructor only used McGraw’s online materials and nothing of her own.
We begged my dad to get us a Nintendo for Christmas. He’s like I think we should get a VCR.
Christmas morning we unwrap a VCR box, with a Nintendo box inside it.
Of course I think I probably cried before my dad pulled the Nintendo out.
Zelda was my favorite. Ten year old me played it so much I did the first quest with one life (which I think meant a single sitting as I don’t remember it having a save and exit option outside of dying).
I was taking a stab at why we never bothered to look for consciousness in babies interactions with the environment before. It does seem an obvious place to look now but considering half of us are still caught on I think there fore I am, I can see why they never bothered to look here.
In Buddhism the ego is sort of a filter of consciousness. Rick Doblin from MAPs said in a podcast I was listening to recently that babies are in the psychedelic state, like egolessness from 5-meo and shit. And that base structure is still there. So it’s the base human experience and arises with the environment and then we filter everything through the ego. Including our questions about consciousness itself right? Because it’s our lived experience so we’re looking through something that’s similar.
Wetern science is only now becoming aware of egolessness consciousness, through exposure to eastern meditation practices (Buddhism stresses this restful state of consciousness also pointed to in the article) and classical psychedelics used by indigenous peoples for 1000s of years (which were outlawed in the 60s and are only now being taken seriously again).
In other words, because we mostly (and mistakenly) associate consciousness with ego, which doesn’t develop until adolescents.
So it did happen but Facebook didn’t shut the experiment down, but rather they changed the experiment parameters so the bots would stop using their own language.
The article I read said they shutdown the experiment. So, the article wasn’t 100% accurate and the article I read was published in late 2018 or early 2019. So, it was either recycled news or the experiment lasted several years before the bots made up their own language. As the experiment was started in 2017, according to the fact check article linked above.
