‼️look at the flight pattern of that helicopter leading up to it colliding with the plane. that looks like the behavior of a drone, not a training mission. could we have just seen a drone hit?

Never felt more attractive since moving to the US

For context I'm from Puerto Rico and moved to the states about 8 years ago. I've always been a fat girl and experienced a lot of hate for the way I looked. Mostly from the adults in my life, including random strangers and teachers. Back home, people are really open when it comes to criticizing your appearance. I've had people literally come up to me to criticize what I'm eating. Literally complete strangers. Or tell me how good I'm being for eating a salad.

And this happens even is you are thin! And don't get me started if you have darker skin or curly hair! We may be a diverse island but our bigotry is equally colorful. We just hide it behind jokes and get offended when called out. Saying "that you are taking it too personal or it's a joke" when in reality it's a problem.

Long story short PR isn't very body positive even if most of our women can be considered a size 12 and up. Physically I'm a very proportionate fat girl, I have an hour glass figure and carry my weight pretty distributed. And I have a pretty face because people back home always keep telling me that and then follow it up with "you should lose some weight".

I also was a "weird girl" so it was an atomic bomb of bullying. I was too smart or too creative. Too fat or too excited. I really had no room to just be my true self because everything was attached to how I looked.

And being stuck in that cycle of not feeling good enough made me want to change everything about myself just to be felt alone and not bothered for my existence. Before moving to the US I lost a significant amount of weight and it made everything even worse if you believe it. People were now looking at me like a lab rat. Asking if I will lose more and made a game out of my weight loss journey.

When I moved to the states I gained almost 30 pounds of it back. Because the food here is really shit and the native vegetables and meats I really loved go for triple the price here. And I also was dealing with a massive wave of depression from things that happened before I moved.

And I got to say that men really do love fat b-words here! I've never gotten so much male attention in my life or as many compliments from women that are actually genuine. And it took a long time for me to actually get comfortable with them after years of hating myself. And I know that it may come across as shallow for me to find worth in others, but when you have been called worthless for so long you can't help but feel relief in a strangers kind words.

Men have stopped me in the street to compliment me and even offer to buy me stuff. And women always ask me what hair care products I use or that I look beautiful in my dress. I even started buying whatever clothes I wanted because I didn't have the guilt of being too fat to wear them.

I finally stopped looking at that stupid tag at the back of my clothes and actually bought the size that fitted me in that moment. I stopped with the "when I lose some weight I'll wear it" crap. I stopped being afraid or get upset with the work "fat". I stopped caring about if I was too loud or too strong with my opinions. I stopped putting that little fat girl in a cage and decided to let her be free.

Even if I miss my country I can't help but feel so comfortable in myself here in the states. People here just mind their business and are not breathing down peoples neck. I've never felt so confident in who I am and that doesn't only apply to my body. I feel like I have a voice here, even with all that is happening right now.

I'm just so happy that I can finally be my true self and say frick you to the word! I'm proud to say that I'm a fat Latinx girl that finally took up space!

Nature is healing

NAZI COVKS GET SUKKKD

In other words, a site that sells itself as a home for "authentic human connection" is now giving humans the option to interact with an algorithm instead.

TBF dealing with your average redditor already feels like you're talking to a bot.

Perhaps the greatest value of a good Reddit thread is the informed disagreement on best purchases and practices

Noooo frick Socrates! I just want someone to tell me what to buy!

When I reached out to ask about this product, a spokesperson told me over email that in part, "Answers simply summarizes redditors' existing posts and conversations without presenting an opinion or perspective of its own" and directs users to relevant discussions.

B-word please. It just chooses what the right answer is, but it didn't come up with that itself so it's unbiased?

Without human answers, there is no Reddit Answers—and so, should the feature really take off and Redditors stop engaging with one another, the chatbot will be drained of biological intelligence

This is something a child should be able to understand. The more the AI succeeds in pushing humans out of the picture, the less material it has to work from. We'll end up with AIs summarizing each other in an endless loop.

I probably just don't know what I'm what I'm talking about. I doubted that blockchain would really change our lives and... oh yeah that mysteriously disappeared exactly when the AI fad started.

The creativity of our young Silicon Valley entrepreneurs must have created something completely new, something never thought of before. Except by all those guys in the 1980s who told us that the AI revolution had come so we'd all better start learning LISP.

In the end, there's one thing that soulless AI will never be able understand: Dude bussy lmao.

I hope it fails in a massive disaster.

The short version is apparently some WhatsApp group was going around and pushing this stock saying you'll get xxx% gains. They pulled the rug on people who lost 5+ figures on this. How fricking dumb are you to put it all in a bullshit Ching Chong no name company.

First red flag - the name of the fricking company. They're "legit" but so is Gary's Snowcones and Food Trucks that registers with the SEC.

Second red flag - WhatsApp group pushing this

Third red flag - any random no name company popping like that is sketchy

I can go on being I work in wealth management but that's boring. This is very face level and there's no need to deep dive into how stupid this was from those three points alone.
