Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Is this a good time to remind everyone (as the article covers at length) that there is effectively no regulation by the FDA or any other government body of any supplement? And that the definition of "supplement" is very, very wide?

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

E - Triston Mercar is my canon Rook, though I’m playing him through a second time so he doesn’t have canon events or a canon romance. He just… is. Canon.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Crazy to me that people said the darkspawn weren’t scary or creepy in Veilguard. I think DAV made the creepiest darkspawn and Blight. AND gave a very thorough explanation, multiple times, about why it was different.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Making jokes on social media is awesome, because you'll get whiplash between hilarious replies from some of the cleverest people in the world, and also bewildered replies from people who have never before heard of the concept of humor

I’m really tempted to pull a prank on my boss by submitting a VAERS report for spraining my ankle leaving the flu clinic last week. I don’t think she’d find it funny though.
