Did MLK win? Or was he murdered and people continued to struggle to this day?

It’s always “you took us out of context” with these assholes.

According to cognitive dissonance theory, it's because of cognitive dissonance reduction. Example from wikipedia:

In practice, people reduce the magnitude of their cognitive dissonance in four ways:

  1. Change the behavior or the cognition ("I'll eat no more of this doughnut.")
  2. Justify the behavior or the cognition, by changing the conflicting cognition ("I'm allowed to cheat my diet every once in a while.")
  3. Justify the behavior or the cognition by adding new behaviors or cognitions ("I'll spend thirty extra minutes at the gymnasium to work off the doughnut.")
  4. Ignore or deny information that conflicts with existing beliefs ("This doughnut is not a high-sugar food.")

The last thing people want to do, is admit to themselves that they are evil or stupid. It doesn't feel good.

Jeg vil altid anbefale J. R. R. Tolkiens Ringenes Herre triologi. Der er endda endnu mere af Tolkiens univers, hvis du forelsker dig i det.

Den er i toppen af stort set alle rang lister som jeg har set om bøger. Jeg har lige læst (hørt på lydbog) Dune. Jeg er overbevist om at Frank Herbert har været inspireret af Tolkiens stil da han skrev Dune, som så inspirerede George Lucas til at lave Star Wars.

Hvis du vil høre Ringenes Herre på lydbog, vil jeg anbefale Andy serkis (var Gollum i filmene) som fortæller, men jeg bryder mig ikke om at støtte Audible, så måske download.

Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???

Ask ICE this question...

Tickled pink that BI has decided to platform the AI safety chuds. OFC, the more probable reason of “more dosh” gets mentioned, but most of the article is about how Anthropic is more receptive to addressing AI safety and alignment.

Seems that I don't understand the english language anymore.

Don't Be a Sucker! is a short educational film produced by the U.S. War Department in 1943 and re-released in 1947. The film depicts the rise of Nazism in Germany and warns Americans against repeating the mistakes of intolerance made in Nazi Germany.

It emphasizes that Americans will lose their country if they let themselves be turned into "suckers" by the forces of fanaticism and hatred. The film was made to make the case for the desegregation of the United States armed forces by simply revealing the connection between prejudice and fascism.

Following the lives of four young people trying to survive the Israeli genocide as they hope for a ceasefire - a vivid and unflinching view of life in a warzone.

This is probably the saddest I've been watching a documentary.

Jeg sad og havde JRR TOLKIEN '1892-1973' - A Study Of The Maker Of Middle-earth kørende, da jeg pludselig hørte en velkendt stemme.

Running distance over time. I still can't run 5k without walking about 20% of the way.

And it's not going fast either, but I'm still proud of the progress. The data is keeping me going.

EDIT: Thanks for the support! The legs still don't want to do, what I want them to. But they will learn, who's the boss eventually.
