American taxpayers: @OpenAI has asked for federal gov't guarantees that they'll be bailed out if their investment of hundreds of billions of dollars in data centers doesn't prove profitable. Do you support this 'too big to fail' guarantee?

UATX will never charge tuition. And we will never take government money. Here's why. Graduates spend decades shouldering debt for hollow credentials. This debt influences every decision they make: What job to take. Where to live. When to marry. When to have children. Some will

Remember, kids: To a first approximation, every 'classic social psychology study' based on the Blank Slate dogma, all the way from 1945 through about 2010, was fake, fraudulent, willfully misreported, and/or wildly exaggerated.
The fall of "When prophecies fail": Another social psychology classic turns out to be based on fabrications and lies. In 1954, Dorothy Martin predicted an apocalyptic flood and promised her followers rescue by flying saucers. In “When Prophecy Fails “ (1956), the

Waiting for marriage until you find the right person is wise. Waiting for the sake of waiting, or out of pathological risk aversion, is a great way to waste your life. Indefinite “dating” is bad for you, and at scale it’s bad for society.
birthrates are falling because grown adults think they need a 5 year free trial of “dating” someone before getting married. do you not trust your judgment? do you not trust your ability to choose a life partner? with all things comes risk but get serious with your life, stop the

It feels like the American Right has lost about 40 IQ points and about 80% of its sanity in the last month. What the hell guys. Get it together. It's not that hard to just disavow all the insane, juvenile, childless, nihilistic, soulless, attention-seeking sociopaths.

If this is the future you really want for your grandkids, then by all means, support the AI industry's quest for their Fully Automated Luxury Communist Utopia. But if not, then don't.

In the first reply to this poll there is a picture of Sydney Sweeney (not that one 😅) and a winner of Miss Universe. Who do you find more attractive? Are you male or female?

Keeper treats our male and female clients differently because men and women are different, and acknowledging this helps us make better matches. Most other services pretend men and women are identical, either for ideological reasons or out of laziness.

Many people support the Far Left when they're young & childless, but end up leaving the Far Left. Do these ex-Lefties usually 1) update their world-view by learning about the historical failures of Leftism, or 2) grow out of it by getting a job, having kids, & paying taxes?
