It sounds depressing because it is.

I'm just saying: as a guy, this is not the only double standard, and not the only thing that people see as "you did it once so you're $thing forever" that guys go through.

It's probably one of the most notable though.

As men, we deal with a lot of judgemental shit and we're expected to deal with it "like a man"... Whatever the fuck that means.

Another good example of this is crying. If you have a mental breakdown and fall into a crying fit, people will brand you as a cry baby or some shit, and that will stay with you for a long ass time.

There's so much more. I don't have time to think of, nor detail any of it. Any fellas that have examples, I invite you too add them in reply. Ladies, you can too. And anyone else can, honestly; let's not forget our non-binary family.

Someone swapped your phone with an Android.

I haven't tried to fight any of my dreams yet. So this is an interesting revelation.

Do you?

All I want to say is: there's a lot more of us, than there are of them.

We have the power. We just all need to agree on a course of action.... It's that last part that I think will prove to be difficult.... The first bits of getting people to recognise that together we, in fact, hold the power... That won't be easy either, but it will be a cakewalk compared to getting everyone to agree on how to proceed and have everyone take action when required.

Herding cats comes to mind.

To be blunt, if you were to train a gpt model on all the current medical information available, it actually might be a good starting point for most doctors to "collaborate" with and formulate theories on more difficult cases.

However, since GPT and list other LLMs are trained on information generally available on the Internet, they're not going to come up with anything that could possibly be trusted in any field where bad decisions could mean life or death.

It's basically advanced text prediction based on whatever intent statements you made in your prompt. So if you can feed a bunch of symptoms into a machine learning model, that's been trained on the sum of all relatively recent medical texts and case work, that would have some relevant results.

Since chat gpt isn't that, heh. I doubt it would even help someone pass medical school, quite bluntly... Apart from the hiring boiler plate stuff and filling in words and sentences that just take time to write out and don't contribute in any significant manner to the content of their work. (Eg, introduction paragraphs, sentence structures for entering information and conclusions... Etc).

There's a lot of good, time saving stuff ML, in its current form, can do, diagnostics, not so much.

I'll take a Dr with enough real world experience to have good intuition over a recently graduated straight-A doc any day.

But this is why doctors have like 8 years of practical, hands on experience with oversight before they're allowed to actually practice solo in most places. They spend more time learning hands on, than they do in class.

Even a straight-C "level" doctor should be more than prepared to handle whatever you their their way. Even if they don't know, they probably know how to find out, or who to ask.

We probably won't get a more moderate choice anytime soon. As long as strategic voting and first past the post are the norm.

Yeah! It's all the liberals fault!

We get liberals in office and... Why are you not doing enough?

And when they're not in office, why aren't you doing anything?!

The two party system is just sandwiching we, the people, between two rotting pieces of shit soaked bread. No matter who "wins" the election, we, the people, always fucking lose. That's the way of things. The government doesn't represent you and I, they're there to make the lives of businesses easier. So we're going to get roflstomped either way.

I will say that one party seems to stink a whole lot less than the other.

Do it.

I'm just chiming in to say, yeah, the logic of this is directly in line with the statistics, and economics that I learned in college. I drifted away from it and I haven't run the numbers myself, but I have no reason to doubt the calculations.

I agree with you, and I'm hoping that will reinforce to others that this is far more complex than most people can comprehend. It's certainly more complex than what the Whitehouse economists seem to understand.... Regardless, I think you said it perfectly with "exponential equations run away fast", and I think that might even be understating it; especially that the average person doesn't "get" how quickly compound rates can increase the costs of things over time.

I understand that they have to set limits for themselves or they'll be doing calculations all year and never get enough done to have the whole picture. What they are working from is certainly not the whole picture. Regardless, the math doesn't lie.

If things keep up like this, I think that in less than one quarter, we'll see the numbers skyrocket.
