Someone used the line “we all have the same 24 hours” today on me when we were talking about exercising and meal prep. I asked him how he managed to get in his 2 hours at the gym after work with his disabled child who needs 24/7 supervision. He said “oh”.

3rd and 4th pics will makes sense to followers of Australian politics.

For some reason it came to mind while reading about Trump.

@GeoRebekah Trump knows all about that DeSantis “win.” He’s going to spill the tea one day, too.

I guess my question for people who don't think AI Safety research should be prioritised is:
What observation would convince you that this is a major problem, which wouldn't also be too late if it in fact was a major problem?

@yuhline i work at st*rbucks in a city and some people have had mental health crises in the cafe. we try to deescalate and help them calm down first before calling for help if need be. cus baristas have better deescalation skills than police, and that’s life saving.

@ruth_hook_ I recently saw a paper that said most people have "backup mates" – i.e. people they're friends with just in case. It argued that this is a rational strategy.
It didn't say whether it's a conscious strategy. Plenty of denial, I'm guessing.

Thinking I'll install an app on my oldest crack-screen phone, then delete the wifi connection on it.
Anyone use a meditation timer that *isn't* a phone app?
I want to meditate while my phone is put away.

The solutions exist, we just need the collective will to implement them.

The trend of single people living alone is mostly bad for social connection, I think.
(The alternative is finding people you like living with and tolerating each other's foibles. I'm not advocating putting up with difficult or unpleasant people.)

I think a lot of women don't realize quite how isolated many men are
I explained how isolated I was, before we started dating, to my girlfriend and she just had no idea how bad…
