mr_robot2938 , in The cultured wars: Why lab-grown meat is inspiring bipartisan hate

According to Nature, the products begin with a small sample of animal cells, typically muscle cells, which are cultured in a controlled environment like a bioreactor. Provided with nutrients and a scaffold for support, these cells multiply and differentiate into muscle tissue over the course of several weeks.

Anyone know what the scaffold is made out of? The nature article is paywalled.

A good chunk of his base doesn’t even know he’s on trial. No shit, my brother was telling me about one of his coworkers who is a huge Trump supporter that legitimately didn’t know this trial was starting a few weeks ago.

The only thing that seeps into the bubble is the idea that Trump is being unfairly prosecuted. I don’t know how we ever heal as a nation when the conservative news bubble is so out of touch with reality.

ParabolicMotion , in Man confesses to killing hospitalized wife because he couldn't afford to care for her, police say

Have they done any investigation into the cause of her illness? I have no sympathy for this man. If anything, I would be questioning the cause of her illness after hearing that he attempted to kill her multiple times. There are a lot of toxins that can damage a person’s kidneys. I didn’t trust eating my husband’s cooking after he announced that he would rather have a mail order bride from Eastern Europe, or Russia, instead of me. I guess only the blood bank would know if he ever did anything to me. That one time I was seriously ill, vomiting, with diarrhea, and it only lasted one day, I had to question his motive for demanding to make dinner the night before that.

WamGams ,

You haven’t left him yet?

ParabolicMotion ,

I filed for divorce twice, but each time, he would disappear right before the last court ruling to finalize it. The judge threw out my last attempt at divorce because he wouldn’t show up. He showed up to divide assets because he wanted one of the cars in his name. He ditched out on the last court date and now we’re still legally married. We have been separated for almost seven years now. I’m still not free from him, though. He has had his friends using his license and email accounts to terrorize me. I don’t know where he is now. All I can figure is that he found that mail order bride of his dreams and swapped ID’s with one of his single friends to have a chance with her. That, or he got into a fight while drunk, again, and some guy beat him to death. I want to file a missing person’s report just to have some legal closure and remove my name from anything that could legally bind me to him. Others say I should let it go. If he has some DUI and hurts, or kills, another person because of it, I could be sued. Honestly, I have nothing left even before a lawsuit.

WamGams ,

I remember you, I saw your post a few days ago. I am sorry for your situation. I hope you ended up filing the police report over the stolen car. It sounds like his friends did murder him. Hopefully if so you can get finality.

ParabolicMotion ,

I really hope they didn’t. I first thought it was some cruel joke by my husband because he was unhappy with our marriage. I felt really ashamed to tell others about it. It also made me look crazy when they would pull out his license and insist they were my husband, to anyone that would question them about it. They would insist that they just grew their hair slightly longer, or that they had decided not to shave for a while. My husband did submit dna to an ancestry site years ago, and it would prove that his friends stole his identity, or are misusing it, at least. My husband is nearly 100% Eastern European, and his friends were not. They all have the same tattoo on their bicep. One of them has it backwards, and I called him out on it. I think that was the one that grabbed me by the hair and slammed my head against the wall, years ago.

I’m starting to think it’s less of a team effort on some cruel joke against me, and more of a team effort by them to have him robbed of his car and other items.

I think you’re right. I’m going to have to report him missing. It’s going to be humiliating, because they’ll probably just find him under some girl, in the county where his mom lives.

Xaphanos ,

You have a hard road. My aunt had a parallel type of situation. Her husband became an FBI fugitive for some very bad decisions. Not a bad man, just very poor judgement. She had to declare him missing.

I wish you some kind of swift resolution. Please know this: it is hard, but manageable. Others have made similar journeys. Get help as you can and find your own strength. You can get through this to find peace again.

ParabolicMotion ,

Thank you. I’m going to declare him missing soon. I’m just bracing myself for the embarrassment when he is found with some other woman, or perhaps even a new family, at this point.

Xaphanos ,

If I can offer something…

Those are not your embarrassment. My father confessed to his other daughter only as he was dying. She was 30 at the time - I was over 40. He had hidden her from us for all that time, disguising all of his time with her as business meetings.

Before he died, my mom got to hold HIS first grandchild while she still had none. She held my stepsister blameless - all she had done was be born. And my mom cried at my father’s wake - they had a lot of years together, and some were good. But we’ve all moved on. It’s been 20 years since he died.

My advice is to let the past stay in the past. It was, and reliving it won’t make it different. Be in the now and work towards your better future. I truly wish you peace on your journey. We all find it in the end.

Just FYI, this person is likely suffering from schizophrenia. Not just because of this comment, but dozens of comments about the many, many people that have tried to kill them in a variety of ways, some nonsensical, since their childhood, not to mention their “law enforcement ex boyfriend that causes planes to fly low over their home”.

Holy shit, their post history reads like an LLM was trained to speak like a person who has no grasp on reality but tries to sound level-headed.

Monument ,

Huh. That’s interesting —

I’ve heard that severely schizophrenic people don’t know they are schizophrenic.
It’s not fair or right to characterize LLMs with human medical issues. (Not for humans, that is.) But similar to humans in that situation, LLM’s don’t “know” they are speaking nonsense.

Wonder if it would be possible to have clusters of LLMs that “talk to” each other to establish baselines.

2fat4that , in At least 43 protesters detained inside parking structure on UCLA campus, police say
@2fat4that@kbin.social avatar

How many are students I wonder.

Stovetop ,

Does that even really matter? Are students the only ones allowed to protest a school’s involvement with the Israeli apartheid state?

It’s like saying only an oil company’s customers can protest their latest oil spill, while tar enters your drinking water.

There are downstream effects of organizations like educational institutions continuing to support Israel and silencing dissidents, effects which impact society at large.

stembolts ,

Well stated. It’s been bothering me all of the people gate-keeping the ability to protest something that EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER is funding. On private universities… sure I guess that’s different, those students gave up their rights when they decided to go to a private uni, but public universities?

I get why universities do it, its a bad faith tactic so upper class administrators can find a reason to lick the boot and launch shock troops.

But commenters on Lemmy? I don’t get it.

Student or not, they should be able to protest. But maybe there is just something I haven’t thought of yet, I’m open to new opinions on this.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

They are trying to conflate outsiders and outside agitators. As if every person in a city of millions of people like L.A. interested in protesting at UCLA would either be a student or an agitator.

2fat4that ,
@2fat4that@kbin.social avatar

It doesn’t make a ton of sense for non-students to protest at a university. What are impeding? Students and professors who probably already side with you from going to class?

Universities are for meeting, rallying and handing out pamphlets. Actually protesting there will have no effect on the general populace of aside from creating a very strong suspicion of straw man tactics.

Creating a “you’re either Pro Israel or Pro genocide argument” with the liberal youth is good way to get many of them to either not vote or to not vote Biden. I strongly suspect that’s what’s happening here.

solo , in SEC’s Gensler turns tide against crypto in courts

The cryptocurrency industry is counting on the federal courts to survive a sweeping enforcement crusade by Wall Street’s top regulator.

This statement can only mean that the author does not understand how blockchains work.

chunkystyles ,

I didn’t follow. The article isn’t about Blockchain tech.

solo , (edited )

Ok, I'll try to explain then.

There is no crypto without a blockchain, and blockchains live on the internet. Btw the projects that are worth in this environment are decentralized.

Federal courts in the US are passing laws and these laws are valid only in the US. They don't threaten the survival of the "crypto industry" cause they live on the internet, not in the US. It just makes it harder to create a legit project in the US, or if you are a user you will need a VPN to access some sites that are not available in the country you live in.

This is why there is binance.com (for almost everywhere, except US) and binance.us (only for the US). This article fails to mention this difference so claiming that:

The cryptocurrency industry is counting on the federal courts to survive

makes it clear to me that the author has no understanding of how crypto works. That's my good faith take on this article.

Strykker ,

The industry doesn’t actually care about the block chain, they care about fleecing people who transfer crypto to and from real dollars. And the government has regulations for how that kind of interaction is supposed to be handled that they apparently aren’t following.

jimmydoreisalefty OP , in Ex-Purdue president says student protesters who break laws should be expelled and replaced [Sarah Fortinsky | 05/05/24 | The Hill]
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

“I think that the proper consequences here, first of all, are expulsion from the university,” Daniels, who is also the former Republican governor of Indiana, said in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday.”

Daniels said he does not support the idea of taking away student visas from those who “support Hamas,” the U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization that carried out the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

“Although if somebody broke the law, I suspect that there already are the rules that require or at least permit the termination of their right to visit this country. You don’t have a right to come in and harm others, and there has been some of that [going] on,” he continued. “But no, not in general.”

dogslayeggs ,

I feel like I’ve seen more stories of pro-Israel counter-protesters causing violence and harming others. But fucking Mitch was a terrible governor and didn’t do much good as a president of Purdue, either, so he probably wouldn’t acknowledge that.
