How in the fuck.

Like what drives a majority of Americans to vote for a demented toddler. It’s insane.

As a kid I always wondered how on Earth did Hitler ever make anyone follow himself, how did those people not realise. Turns out a majority of people are just fucking morons.

How much do you make? I’m up for some light marriage fraud if you’d like a Finnish citizenship.

The abstract makes it make more sense with clearer language:

The significance of heating load (HL) accurate approximation is the primary motivation of this research to distinguish the most efficient predictive model among several neural-metaheuristic models. The proposed models are through synthesizing multi-layer perceptron network (MLP) with ant lion optimization (ALO), biogeography-based optimization (BBO), dragonfly algorithm (DA), evolutionary strategy (ES), invasive weed optimization (IWO), and league champion optimization (LCA) hybrid algorithms. Each ensemble is optimized in terms of the operating population.

Weed and League champions?

I think I’m one of those.

The pro-Trump influencer, who uses the @AlphaFox78 handle on X, is an American man living in Massachusetts, CNN has learned. He agreed to speak to CNN about the posts on condition of anonymity.

I agree with what you did there, CNN.

Ah, beat me to it.

I’ll just remind everyone that this guy is probably making a joke, as the cops tried insisting George Floyd stopped breathing because “he was like OD’ing on opioids or something, so it definitely didn’t have anything to do with the us strangling him to death.”

You’re seriously suggesting that you live in a place where you don’t get news from what Trump is like, all the things he’s done?

I’m not American either, buddy, but like you, we’re both on the internet. Pretending you live in some news blackout or haven’t the werewithall to understand that a semi-demented fascist felon reality-TV star fraudster who’s literally promising dictatorship isn’t worse than a pretty fucking normal career politician? That’s really weird man.

Would you disagree that Trump winning the US presidency would have detrimental global effects? “I wouldn’t know, I can’t know, how would I know.”

You’re on Lemmy and for the next few days at least any non-curated feed is going to be filled with US politics. Why would you pretend to be so wholly ignorant of them?

I’d like to take a moment to remind you that the article is about Greta Thundberg just not endorsing either candidate. She’s Swedish. She can have an opinion on the election, people are allowed opinions. Yes, even young girls. But like you, she’s refusing to endorse a candidate, as she’s not American?

My opinion is that it’s very weird to pretend to be so mediailliterate that you don’t know what Donald Trump is like.

Oh wow, thanks for the information.

Makes sense. A lot. I’ll read up on that, thanks again.

Complaining about long waits, given the alternative, seems really, I dunno, privileged?

Oh, so no-one who has it better than the person who has it the worst can complain?

You’ve no idea how fucked the healthcare is in certain parts. Just an hour ago I was talking to a friend who shared a story about having a wisdom tooth removed. An inexperienced dentist, a small healthcare station. He removed the crown, but couldn’t get the roots out, and there were no other dentists left for the day, so he sent my friend home with some ibuprofen. With open nerves, bleeding in his mouth.

He was home for an hour or two and went to the ER.

Currently I’ve been waiting for several years, if not actually decades, in a way.

So excuse me if your healthcare is even worse, but I think we’ve the right to discuss how this shit could be improved without some asshole coming along to tell us to check our privilege.

A psychiatrist on call at an ER got a guard to throw me out after I told him I was afraid I’d hurt myself oe others. Then when he started throwing me out, I asked what happens if I hurt someone? His answer: “don’t try to make this my responsibility”. Like motherfucker, that’s is literally in your job description.

I made a formal complaint, as did my friend for his tooth operation. Both got answered with “yeah nothing was done wrong”.

At least in the US you can sue people over shit like that.

The police also broke my rights and abused me, and the supreme court sided with me. Compensation? Not even an apology or a letter informing me the cops actually did break my rights. I had to read it from a fucking newspaper.

And that was probably the smallest infringement they committed, but as they prevented me from filming (and weirdly had “lost” all the pictures they took and the security cam material when I asked for them in court, with a lawyer), I didn’t have proof of any of it, and the police obviously denied everything.

In the US I’d be living off the compensation for a good few years if not my life by investing it nicely. At the least I would’ve got vindication. Now they just got away with it, and people don’t even believe me about the abuse, despite me having a few photos of the cell covered in my blood.

So you know, we live in rather different societies, with different problems and different privileges. Perhaps let’s support the downtrodden we all are instead of competing who has it the worst?
