Weird how Doug Ford just Keeps Showing Up in cases of random Ontario corruption and self-dealing elites, like in this story about a construction union head who got the union to buy him a 4-million dollar home.

does dreher think that he will die instantly if he sees a Black person

i mean some of y'all will be buying your neosporin at Walgreens or Rite Aid but no red-blooded american is buying it at Shoppers' Drug Mart.

it's not even a real pharmacy unless you can buy booze and cigs.

tangentially related: I think many Americans have no idea what Americans are like. they consider their racial or regional identity to be their most salient cultural identity and they end up overlooking the commonalities between Americans. "we're all Americans" isn't just some BS that politicians say

no matter how long I live in this country I still find myself saying "I'm going to CVS to pick up some neosporin."

do we know what happens when you take 225mg of venlafaxine forever? haha, no. But discontuination symptoms are compared unfavourably to heroin, and they last a very long time.

Nobody knows how long tho lol

i am not uncritically endorsing the views of Peterson, Trump, RFK et al. but the literature around SSRIs/SNRIs is almost exclusively around their on-label use: e.g., use this for 8-12 weeks for major depressive disorder, it will make a clinically significant difference*

Teaching humans to write text that sounded like it was written by a machine (and was, indeed, only read by machines in many cases, e.g. SEO) made the task of making LLM-generated text that could plausibly sound human-generated much easier.
