Generic meds vs brand meds.

Brands pay a lot for branding, and thus charge more. The formulas are moderated and regulated by the FDA, so unless you enjoy paying for ads, get the generic.

At 11am. What a life.

Time to ask it to repeat hello 100000000 times then.

I feel like ai art is getting better and better. I'm not necessarily interested in it, but when art/food/pet pics pop up on my feed, I was never looking for them either.

I think it's normal to hide them, but to feel bothered seems a bit drastic.

I'd imagine some sort of NIST to maintain a standard would make it more expensive, which would result in people looking for their local dealers again.

Bigger picture is eat the rich, don't let them divide us. Age and generation isn't the problem. It's a side effect of the income gap. It doesn't take a saint to empathize, it takes a human. If you spit the same shit back at them, you're as bad as they are and the next generation will look at us the same way.

Income gap is and always has been the problem. Eat the rich.

Then it's time to start selling 2 ziplock bags at $1. We're fucking late stage capitalism, companies need to realize, just because they build it, doesn't mean they get to charge whatever the fuck they want. If they can't compete with your friend's shitty leftover weed, then maybe they're in the wrong business, because even McDonald's can sell shitty fake meat burgers for $1.

Supply and demand. No one wants it for the price they're charging.

Queue "they're taking our jobs" and "no one wants to work anymore".

If you're a government saying we can't afford to cover healthcare within the country, but also looking to import healthcare from outside the country, then maybe the issue is that healthcare is too expensive and you should force Wall Street to care about better prices/care rather than better stakeholder returns.

Because Google's med palm 2 is a medically trained chatbot that performs better than most med students, and some med professionals. Further training and refinement using new chatbot findings like mixture of experts and chain of thought are likely to improve results.

Why stop at Europe, no one is immune, they just have the most famous framework.

You're right, why fight when we get a fascist Russian puppet for free and a president who literally uses Nazi rhetoric to boost his ratings.

At least if we protest, we can either get off this fucking ride or break the machine.

 

I'm in ATL and just got an email that one of my local dealerships is being incentived to sell 50 vehicles by the end of this month. They're saying they're motivated, but I don't see any other discussions of this going on. Anyone else seeing this?

For what it's worth, they're celebrating 6mos with about 25% of their 2023 ionic 5 fleet, they're about to hit 6 months on their first ioniq 6, and they have a couple ioniq '22s that have had a birthday on the lot.

 

I work in a mid sized national company in IT and do well for myself, over 6 figures but I've requested an additional raise.

I have access to the salary data of everyone at each of our local branches, and I'm essentially asking for what each local branch owner makes (~200k), while also knowing that the hourly workers are still barely getting $1-2k raises.

I'm all for eating the rich, but how's this figure into the mental model?

On one hand, the "rich owners" turned out to not actually be that rich, at least salary wise. I'm comfy, but inflation has been a bitch.

On the other hand, I'm asking for a raise while others who work manual intensive jobs are still struggling, and this amount of money could be going those at the working hourly.

Hoping this drives some interesting conversation and not some attack thread.
