What is wrong with people.

Several studies have found that women prefer men their own age or slightly older, and men prefer women in their early 20s regardless of their own age. It’s not hard to explain that with evolutionary biology, as that’s when women are most likely to successfully bear children.

Of course evolutionary biology can explain behaviors like rape and dueling, which are serious crimes in modern societies.

Your “very young” might mean younger than early 20s though, and we do have a crime for that most places if the number gets low enough.

The thing that bothers me is that in 2024, polling found a majority of Americans favored Trump on immigration and trusted him more than Harris to do a good job on the issue.

When I guessed what Trump was going to do about immigration, it looked a whole lot like what he’s actually doing. It wasn’t especially hard to guess because he said what he intended to do. While that’s not a guarantee with a habitual liar, he did have a record of attempting to keep campaign promises.

What the hell were people who trusted him on immigration in 2024 and don’t like what he’s doing in 2026 expecting?

As the Star Tribune noted, “[h]omicide is defined as a death that occurs at the hands of another person” — as opposed to death by natural causes or suicide, for example — “and does not necessarily mean the person died from a criminal act.”

I don’t think this was ever in question, even by the most rabid fascists who celebrated it.

Who could have predicted that hiring the lowest bidder to hook a teddy bear to an LLM wouldn’t result in a good toy for kids?

Who wants to dress fancy when they have to go through a TSA screening?

It does seem like some people forgot how to regulate their emotions during the COVID lockdowns though. The airline employee in front of you probably didn’t cause your problem. Screaming at them won’t solve your problem.

It makes her an apologist, not a pedophile; she didn’t express attraction to minors herself.

It is understood that Prince Andrew will move to a property on the private Sandringham estate in Norfolk, the BBC reported, to be privately funded by the king.

Pretty soft landing.

In a sane world, we wouldn’t have kings and princes, and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s only titles would be convict and inmate.

possible signs of mental health emergencies related to psychosis or mania

It can be amusing to test what triggers this response from LLMs. Perplexity will reliably do it if you propose sacrificing a person or animal to Satan, but not Ku-waha-ilo, the Hawaiian god of war, sorcery, and devourer of souls.

I imagine a large fraction of the conversations flagged this way are people doing that rather than actually having a mental health crisis.

Down vote for linking RT, a Russian government propaganda outlet.

Suspension from the bar is wholely inadequate. First, they should be permanently disbarred, then they should be prosecuted for gross official misconduct. 17 years in prison sounds like an appropriate sentence for then.

Finally, their victim should sue them, and she should be awarded millions of dollars.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. The NRA (or its political arm) is a lobbying group for the gun industry. Banning any group from buying guns hurts the gun industry.

one to two drinks a day really sounds to me like someone with a drinking problem.

This is typical of someone who drinks beer or wine with their evening meal. Many people who do that always do that unless they have a specific reason not to. This is not behavior most medical professionals see as problematic, though it likely has a small health impact/risk.

on the occasions I drink, I’ll usually have more than [two drinks], sometimes a lot more.

The US CDC describes that behavior as binge drinking.

The high bail seems particularly cruel in this case. The purpose of bail is to ensure the defendant comes to court to answer for the charge, which these parents seemed inclined to do given they want to regain custody of their other children.

You mean I shouldn’t sign up for an account with somebody else’s chatbot using credentials traceable to me and confess crimes to it?

How to make everyone sick in one easy step.

More broadly, there’s a cultural problem where coming to school/work/etc… with a contagious disease is seen as virtuous toughness instead of immoral endangerment. I thought the coronavirus pandemic would change this attitude, but evidently not.

Airports in Europe do not make most passengers remove shoes, but nobody has blown up a plane there with a shoe bomb. It’s probably not a serious threat.
