No, it wasn't. My wife is a Russian trans girl, and she tried reading the journal – she confirms that it is, in fact, a bastardized fusion of Russian lettering of mostly-English words.

The writer is most definitely not a Russian speaker, and the notebook would be unintelligible to anyone who doesn't speak English.

This is actually not true. If you ban it here AND remove the Health Canada requirement for testing on higher order animals, there is no need to do that research. It doesn't even correlate that well with human health outcomes. Ban the practice and remove the incentive, and I guarantee you that the behaviour will go away.

The FDA already removed its requirement for testing on higher order mammals – mouse work is sufficient to get an investigational new drug (IND) permit, or an equivalent permit for a medical device. I suspect Health Canada has done the same, but I'm not 100% sure – if not, it absolutely should. I'd rather have marginally more risk to human participants that generates useful, applicable data, than perform countless cruel experiments that poorly correlate with human biology.

No it doesn't, but then, that's not really an argument to keep nickel-and-diming drivers. I'm all for fair progressive taxation, but it shouldn't be composed of a million government fees that pop up every time you have to deal with the government for any reason. I know Ford got rid of the $200 fee and refunded it for cynical, manipulative reasons, but I'm still glad it's gone, and I have to believe that most people are not stupid enough to be bought by $200.

Hi, I'm a medical scientist who has worked in labs doing animal research. Let me tell you this – it's the fucking Wild West for all practical purposes. The stuff some labs get away with is DISGUSTING and gives me nightmares.

I'm not a conservative, but I'm glad Ford is doing this, and I commend his bravery in doing so. Fuck all of the so-called scientists who do sick experiments on sentient high-order animals.

The worst part is, 90% of the time, the research questions can be answered using mice – or sometimes without using animals at all. The reason we cling to animal research is because if we didn't, a lot of (very sick) scientists would lose their jobs, because they lack the skills to work with other model systems.

To be clear, I have no problem with liability insurance. Everyone should have that. I also don't have a problem with accident benefits. (Although I think the way they calculate rates is criminal, but that's another story.)

My problem is with everything else, and in particular, collision insurance. Insuring your car, as a piece of property, is a scam. You can never use it! If you EVER make a claim, your insurance – not just collision, but also liability and accident benefits – will skyrocket. Your insurer WILL punish you and suck you dry to recoup their losses. So why even bother?

Yes, yes, I know you're supposed to report all accidents (even minor ones) to your insurer, but let's be honest, no sane person does that. If you can withhold that info, you absolutely should.

What a shitty fluff article. You can only see the details once you subscribe to their shitty site.

TL;DR: Guy asked chatgpt what you can replace chloride with in salt, and it thought he meant chemistry, so it told him other halides like bromide. It did NOT recommend him to eat it. He inferred that on his own, and then gave himself a psychiatric illness by eating buckets of it.

This is an example of an unfortunate illness caused by human stupidity.

Don't blame human stupidity on LLMs.
