This is just disgusting. Those people were just minding their own business, and these fucking psychos just couldn’t leave them alone. The state of the world is depressing af.
I was just saying to my husband the other night, ‘ive known a long time that I’d see the end of the world in my lifetime. I just didnt expect to see it before I turned 40*.’
“Write a short one paragraph summary about the evils of ChatGPT”
“ChatGPT, the impressive AI language model, presents potential evils that demand careful attention. These include the spread of misinformation, amplification of biases, privacy concerns, risk of malicious exploitation, and undermining critical thinking through overreliance. As we utilize this technology, it becomes crucial to acknowledge and address these challenges responsibly to ensure a more ethical and secure AI landscape.”
I’m so confused by the “woman who was killed for being transexual even though she wasn’t transexual” and how that’s related to a really obviously homophobic killing
It wasn’t a homophobic killing. The second death was because the man made comments about a trans woman and the man stepped in to defend her. Did you read it? They were both about transphobia.
Your comment is lazy and lacks serious empathy. The lady was murdered with a razor blade to the throat because some fucking guy thought she was transgender. And the other guy was stabbed for standing up for his friend a transgender person.
Your comment is like saying “The guy paid $50,000 for an old IBM computer even though the computer wasn’t really an IBM - how is that related to people who like IBM computers?”
i skimmed through the article, seemed like really poor journalism (worse than usual for huffpost).
the “relationship” - a stretch at best - is like claiming that shootings in Chicago and Baltimore are related because the perpetrators were both black - that happens all the time but no one ever tries to link the two, as they’re clearly two separate crimes that are basically unrelated. same thing here. just trash tier journalism
No, it’s more like if two separate murders of Sikhs happened because people thought they were Muslim, and it showed rising Islamophobia. You know, that thing that actually happened in the US after 911, where Sikhs got murdered because ignorant people thought they were Muslim. This is two cis people murdered because the murders hated trans people.
the rag it’s published in, for one - huffpo only barely qualifies as journalism and often creates stories from whole cloth. did the murders happen? yes. is it awful and sad? yes again. are they related? not a chance
…Taco John’s would be pledging a $40,000 donation (roughly $100 per store) to the nonprofit organization of Children of Restaurant Employees (CORE), which provides financial support to restaurant employees and their families when facing crises like serious illness, injury, or natural disaster.
Wait, what? They are supporting a charity to help people that are essentially their victims? If they paid their workers better such charities wouldn’t need to exist.
I know this isn’t the focus of the article, but I can’t believe what I’m reading! They are really donating to a charity for their own underpaid workers? Can someone clarify this for me if I’m wrong?
Yup that is the gist of it. Supermarkets have been doing it for years:
Donate blah to end child hunger at checkout?
Meanwhile, 23 percent of their employees are on food stamps.
Just like tipping culture in restaurants. Restaurants don’t want to pay their workers. So you do it. In fact, you’re a bad person if you don’t!
It’s good there are union movements going on in the states, bloodied though they are, unions are demonstrably the single most effective tool in securing fair pay.
Home turnover is generally a sign of economic mobility. People should be able to afford nicer homes a few times in their life, or move to pursue greater opportunities. Having 25% fewer homes being sold means those conditions that cause people to move (to hopefully better situations) are not occurring.
Yes, but we just had a pandemic, where most people were afraid to look for houses, afraid to not catch a virus that at the time was unknown. Then after things started returning to normal we got inflation, because supply couldn't keep up with demand so interest rates were jacked to stop it.
Then there's the thing that especially in some industries there's a massive push to keep working from home, so less motivation of moving.
I don't think the current statistics are surprising.
I definitely agree that this isn’t surprising. Honestly the biggest factor for me is just the fed rates making mortgage rates ridiculous. This slowdown in home turnover was basically engineered by the fed in order to slow down the rapid home inflation we were seeing as everything reopened from the pandemic.
Still, it’s something worth putting out there so everyone’s aware of what’s happening.
