This squirrelly little man, who is always smirking, thinks this is all very funny and fun. He's having the time of his lil nazi life.

Because now more people need to explain what groyper is.

@independentpen

Yes in HS.

The conversation paints an image of unruly stubborn people who are sapping up vast government spending. The only spending that is nearly that expansive is law enforcement. And obviously that isn't helping people directly.

Nonetheless even if the context were true it's sickening to hear Brian Kilmeade talk about murdering people who have done what? Sullied his eyes with their poverty?

I don't know where to start.

Find Jesus. What is wrong with you?

"Fox and Friends" is a day time TV news program, which once meant light news and discussions. Three days ago one of their hosts said that homeless people should be exterminated by "lethal injection."

This remark has gotten the most attention but it was in the context of a "conversation" between the hosts laced with misinformation. eg. the suggestion that there are "billions of dollars" for "mental health" services for homeless people.

I'm an educator so it's not really helping me much. I work with examples that I understand inside and out. Easier to write them myself or take them from a book.

@apLundell @sue

Go for it! Just... please not with anything important that other people will count on. Control the lights in your house or something.

Also let's not act like horrible programs that are a bunch of libraries and functions all smashed together by someone who doesn't totally understand what they are doing without regard for elegance or efficiency is anything new. It's just what happens when someone tries to solve a problem with code that's beyond their expertise in programming or experience with those tools. It can also be a step towards learning.

@Gustodon

me: "yeah, that happens."

And then we can start really "coding"

@sue

This is my confusion when I talk to people who have been "learning vibe coding" I have them describe what they did and it seems they have an LLM write some provisional code for them then they revise it and fine tune it so that it does what they want.

Which is just... coding. Do they think people code without looking at examples, libraries, specifications?

If they don't do that second part then they probably don't have a program that does what they want and they did not do any coding.

I live in dread for the day when my husband will come home and tell me how he's been vibe coding at work with all of the bad influences in his office.

I need to have a talk with him. You know what they say:

"If you don't talk to your husband about vibe coding he will learn about it at the office!"

One of my coworkers was excited to tell me about the vibe coding workshop he did over the summer. He's not a programmer much at all, and I think he just... enjoyed programming. I tried to hide the deep horror from my face but I don't know if it worked.

I think he did learn some things but I am not convinced it had anything to do with having an LLM giving him code to fix and modify instead of simply copying and pasting bits of code from message boards as we did in olden times.

But I wanted to share my experience. You can see your doctor and may need to have some tests to see if it is safe for you. Even if you are approved to take it you might react poorly to it. It's expensive and not covered by most insurance.

However, for some people it works really well and if I could go back in time and take it from a younger age I'd do that in a heartbeat. And that makes me sad that's it so inaccessible and clouded by moral controversy.

@bryan

That's so much! I pay about 250 a month.

Two years in I mostly have forgotten about it. I have more time to do things that I care about since I'm not thinking about how to stick to a diet as much. I'm more active and haven't had any side effects.

I know people who had bad side effects even though they liked the idea of the drug. It's individual.

It should be covered by insurance. I'm certain this has had a big positive impact on my overall health, but greed, moral stigma etc. mean that's not happening.

This is VERY different for individual people.

I'm very happy with how this expensive somewhat stigmatized drug has worked for me. I don't like how people gossip about it. I know people who take it and keep it a secret and pretend they are on some kind of exercise and diet plan because they think that's more impressive.

I know people who want to force their relatives to take it because they think it works for everyone and everyone wants the same thing.

Stop it.

In many ways terms like "goal weight" feel kind of alien and mismatched with my relationship with weight and health now.

When I wasn't on this drug I was always hungry. And always fighting with myself to stick to one diet or another. I always had a "goal weight" and I was NEVER going to get there. It was very depressing and exhausting.

Alternately, if I didn't fixate on my diet and "ate naturally" I'd slowly gain weight and it never seemed to end.

I'm feeling happy today because it's been two years since I started GLP-1 treatment (ozempic) and it's working very well **for me**

In the first seven months I lost 48 pounds because I was just less hungry. Since then, my weight has been stable and I don't really think about it.

I talked to my doctor today who asked "what is your goal weight"

"I'm at my goal weight"

It's not really something I ever thought I'd say. But it's been true for over a year.

@valthonis @jbrownesq

I thought it was really unlikely this was left wing violence because all of the violent death threats about this guy online were coming from the right.

@jbrownesq

Oh now he's "quiet" and "no one saw this coming"

I thought he was ultra-left antifa super-solider. What changed?

@streetartutopia

I'm sorry but that looks like a dangerous crime posse.
