but also if you tell parents/youth that you've made their kid OD proof by pumping them with opioid antagonists people will have a false sense of security. like if you worry that 'safe supply' as a term leads young people to think opioids are safe (dubious premise), what do you think this will do???
it's easy to forget this in the fentanyl era, but ODs can happen from many substances - a "vaccine against overdose" doesn't exist
and if you've taken away their drug of choice w/o their consent, they're probably going to be reckless w/ something they're less familiar with

Actually, the likelihood is 100%. In US jurisprudence, accused people are innocent until proven guilty. Hegseth's victims were not proven guilty; they were not even tried. Therefore they were ALL, to the last man, legally innocent. Hegseth ordered the murders of several dozen innocent men.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

No, precarity is the right word. It refers to precariousness as a general condition for a worker, or workers in general. It has a specific use.

I think the Right's assault on higher ed is really about this kind of discretion. They want to dissolve or supplant professional jurisdiction over what kinds of claims are seen as empirical or authoritative.
Standards like "use evidence" and "make a good argument" are ultimately always down to instructor discretion, right? These aren't math problems with binary truth values. In a political environ where admin bends over backwards to please students, aren't these standards just as vulnerable?

AI firms are, at present, hemorrhaging money at a rate we have never seen before in tech. The cost we pay isn’t even close to what it cost to built out an operate. Even if you just accept that it will eventually get cheaper — these companies still need to return on everything they’ve lost so far.
