    What happens to these people during the course of their lives to make them this terrible?

      This is exactly what I want to know. I seriously don’t want to believe that so many people are this stupid. I am unfortunately presented with strong evidence daily that there are millions of people who are, in fact, this fucking stupid.

        the comfort there is that even if there are millions of shitheels there are billions and billions of decent people

          Amen to that. It’s easy to forget.

            media is designed to make us forget it, as worry, anger, and hatred are much more engaging and profitable.

              Also true. And sad. It’s damn near impossible to find news that is just news now.

                I ask GPT4’s bing version the news around the world for the day. It gives very bland, informative headlines with citations, and you can ask it to expand. I really like it.

                An example:

                The World Health Organization (WHO) member states are being urged to ensure human rights protections in a draft “pandemic treaty."

                when asked to expand:

                The WHO member states are negotiating a draft “pandemic treaty” from November 6-10, aiming to prevent future global health crises by addressing the shortcomings revealed by the Covid-19 pandemic response. However, human rights organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch argue that the current draft fails to adequately integrate human rights protections, especially the right to health and the right to benefit from scientific progress. They criticize the treaty for not ensuring accountability for a rights-compliant response to pandemics, and for being influenced by corporate interests over those of marginalized communities. The organizations emphasize that the treaty should enforce international human rights law, particularly in the equitable distribution of health products during emergencies​.

                it included this link as its citation but I watched it think and it touched a few more sites: https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/11/07/draft-pandemic-treaty-fails-protect-rights

      I wonder if she was passed over by a man for some encounter for a trans female. Or maybe she had feelings for a lesbian, but was repressed or was denied by the other person.

      Or maybe she was just always a mean girl who never grew the fuck up.
