  • OR MORE specifically the non-lawyers writing bar exam questions with AI.

    Katie Moran, an associate professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law who specializes in bar exam preparation, told the newspaper, “It’s a staggering admission.”

    “The State Bar has admitted they employed a company to have a non-lawyer use AI to draft questions that were given on the actual bar exam,” she said. “They then paid that same company to assess and ultimately approve of the questions on the exam, including the questions the company authored.”

    Non lawyers writing questions for a competency exam for lawyers with zero oversight by anyone in the profession?

    As a lawyer—this is bullshit.


  • I agree with you about Drag Me to Hell. I liked that movie but I didn’t think it was scary. It was fun though.

    I think the only movie that actually creeped me out in the past decade was It Follows and Hereditary.

    Hereditary was good separately on another level if a person enjoys the history of horror. Hereditary managed to write a story that pulled elements from the 1970’s Horror movie greats. So, it felt like a homage to those greats while also not being predictable. They went for it.

    I agree with you about most horror—especially PG13 horror. Those kinds of “horror” are for teens to ignore on a date at the movies rather than an actual horror film.







  • Hey welcome! I switched over to Lemmy after 11+ years on Reddit. People actually talk to you here versus in Reddit!

    To me, the Reddit experience feels like shouting into the void now. Very much like alone in a crowded room (of mostly bots). You can go back and check if your posts and comments there had been blocked from being seen by others. It’s staggering how many posts and comments are blocked over there. You can see how many posts and comments from normal Redditors are hidden here: Reveddit.

    Post stuff when you feel ready too! Your posts are needed because it’s just humans here. There’s no algorithm and there aren’t any bots reposting reposts.

    If you weren’t there, Lemmy feels like Reddit 10 years ago in a good way.

    Welcome again, Morbitm! 😄




  • Yeah very likely. But the parties have changed spirit without changing name a few times over. Something will break. Change is inevitable. Might not be humanistic change. We can do what we can in our own ways to protect and guard humanism and decency in our immediate communities. It’s probably not enough. But nothing can last forever, even this darkness. So, we can become part of their inevitable failure. Even if it is only a small part.

    There are occasions when it pays better to fight and be beaten than not to fight at all.




  • Honestly, and my guess is you already know this (and others I see beat me to it), American Conservatives mostly haven’t proposed anything else because the ACA was a conservative policy and was implemented first by Governor Romney in Massachusetts.

    It’s hard to get more conservative than policy written by Heritage Foundation economist and implemented by a Mormon Vulture Capitalist.

    Also the mask is off now. These mother fuckers don’t give a shit about policy anymore. They’re not passing any laws. Like I see 34 bills passed in 2023 and a handful of them were fluff—what the fuck?

    Anyway I agree with you. It’s also very tough to get justices to not vote religiously—sorry I mean with “historical accuracy” in mind.



  • Yeah I’m very very glad I’m “just” ADHD. When I was diagnosed it wasn’t possible to be diagnosed as autistic and ADHD. They didn’t fully change that until I was well an adult. I was more ADHD as a kid so, ADHD it was.

    I didn’t realize until I was middle aged that I’m probably level 1 and on the spectrum as well as ADHD.

    So, it’s like you said, maybe a blessing in disguise. I just don’t want all my brethren and all of my sisters who did get diagnosed to face a horrible fate.

    Us neurodivergent need to stick together. Justice for all.


  • My cousins were at a similar town hall in Florida. Maybe this one. It’s a deep red county and tons of people showed up. From reports from my family, most of the people there were Republican and very very angry. Like the loudest by far were Republican and they were just furious at the absolute chaos this Admin is engaging in.

    So, for what it’s worth, that’s our small personal story.

    Will it lead to representation? Maybe. Probably not. But it’s not nothing. And it sure ain’t praise.

    At least the people who voted for this guy are angry and showing up. It’s absolutely not just “liberals.” I think we might see this more.

    People have a right to be heard by their politicians.

    Yeah, on this topic I feel like she’s in the ballpark. My girlfriend and I game in the same spaces but we don’t always announce that we are together IRL for privacy sake. And we are both very independent people.

    The amount of weird dudes she’s ran into that have used “high value man” or “high value woman” is absolutely more than one. They’re pretty common to bump into in online spaces.

    The last time she ran into a problem with a dude like this—she read me the chat as it was going down. The guy was clearly into her but couldn’t handle that she was taken and had no interest. So, this random dude proceeded to call me a cuck (hahaha), asked if I “knew what she was up to” (gaming? lol), and that no high value man would want her! He did this in a public gaming space too and about 50 people thankfully dog piled and ratioed him into oblivion.

    Oh well! I guess she’s stuck with “her low value cuck man” who makes her coffee in bed every morning and with whom she raised a cute and healthy family with. She’s allowed to do whatever she wants and her male doesn’t even try to control her. How horrible! She’ll never recover!

    These dudes are dangerous in numbers. Which is why they deserve and need to be mocked mercilessly until they fuck off or get therapy.


  • Yeah. No sane adult wants to work 36-hours. This is just pure insanity. I wouldn’t ever work a shift like that. Basically only if the world was literally ending—we are literally being invaded right now. Otherwise, we can handle it on Monday.

    The Trump White House was a pill factory last time (there’s public records). So, it’s probably even more ramped up now.

    Don’t you love that they are trying to keep highly qualified disabled ADHD people like me out of the work force but at the same time abuse the medicine we need? Fucking pricks.

    I wouldn’t be shocked if it was just straight cocaine. 36-hours is beyond. Feels way more cocaine driven— especially the anger/irritability.

    He speaks like someone who has never been smacked in the fucking mouth. That’s ok we have the remedy.
