With the increasing concentration/divide of wealth, this is only going to get worse without regulation. It's frustratingly easy to solve, yet places suffering from this problem seem to be hesitant to solve it in the simplest of ways possible - add a flat tax to anyone who owns more than one property or is not a resident.

War on homeless, really? This fucking country I s2g

The same consultants who have repeatedly said the democrats need to keep pulling to the right. It's entirely unsurprising that doing exactly what they don't advise is what's winning over people, lmao.
This is really cute and heartwarming to read. I'm glad this is a space many of you have found comfy and useful! 💜
I think it's probably much more mundane; they simply see an opening so they're going to throw him under the bus so they can be the next king.
In a way, it's extremely surprising. I agree that it seems wild for this to be what takes down the house of cards.
On the other hand, trying to think of it through the lens of someone already living within the conspiracism bubble, I do think this issue is notably different. Bragging about being a rapist is just how they talk, because they explicitly endorse sexism. That's just "boys being boys" and whatnot. Unity is necessary to impose a collective will, so some level of bad behavior is excusable so long as you're towing the party line. But they spent far too long mysticizing and building up the epstein files and importantly it reflected a value that they collectively held - to protect the children. For something which was so central to their conspiracist theorems (just like the deep state, except in this case it was a plausibly real thing) to be discarded so wantonly like this without a clear and plausible explanation which maintains their theories (even Alex Jones couldn't resolve his cognitive dissonance on this entirely... is Trump actually a deep state actor?!)? Well that is a difficult pill to swallow.
Maybe someone will be creative enough to weave a story which both explains and allows them to continue to press on with their core beliefs of a global elite running the world and them fighting back against it but somehow Trump not being part of said cabal and instead acting on their behalf. If that happens, I'm sure it'll spread like wildfire among them because it'll help them suspend their disbelief. One can simply hope they implode upon themselves because right now things are looking exceptionally bleak for the US not nose-diving directly into fascism and being at the center of WW3 and a Nazi 2.0 movement
this is very concerning
I hate the toe separation gimmick nonsense. Minimalism is about approaching barefoot as close as possible - this means you want zero heel drop (heel is not raised), minimal sole thickness (I aim for somewhere around 3-7mm), the sole should not be compressible, and a wide toe box (no toe compression).
I've been wearing minimalist shoes for well over a decade now. The company doesn't really matter so much as how many mm of sole there is. It completely cured all my knee issues, and in fact when I wear shoes which have a normal amount of cushion my knees complain at me now, lol. Merrell and Vasque were my previous go to brands, but I started buying even cheaper ones on amazon lately - whitin has served me fine.
It really isn't hidden lol. But you will get countless LLM defenders online who claim you can eliminate the bias with prompting or other hacks which don't address the underlying issue or do anything but patch a broken system. To fix LLM bias you need to systematically correct, and very few folks have bothered to try and design methods to systematically correct. In the case of Grok, it's actually explicitly designed to reference Musk's bigoted musings on subjects first before examining other information.
Public input was nothing but a facade anyways. We all know under current president they are being gutted and only listen to corporations.
