there was a story here recently about a lot of scamming happening on truth social. so yeah.

he's a parent.

probably after 9/11, but i already had questions as a kid connected to the cold war.

no, but i noticed water faucet handles all outside of tubs and showers

i could say a lot in response to your comment about the benefits and shortcomings of algorithms (or put another way, screening tools or assessments), but i'm tired.

i will just point out this, for anyone reading.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2573025/

i am exceedingly troubled that something which is commonly regarded as indicating very high risk when working with victims of domestic violence was ignored in the cited case (disclaimer - i haven't read the article). if the algorithm fails to consider history of strangulation, it's garbage. if the user of the algorithm did not include that information (and it was disclosed to them), or keyed it incorrectly, they made an egregious error or omission.

i suppose, without getting into it, i would add - 35 questions (ie established statistical risk factors) is a good amount. large categories are fine. no screening tool is totally accurate, because we can't predict the future or have total and complete understanding of complex situations. tools are only useful to people trained to use them and with accurate data and inputs. screening tools and algorithms must find a balance between accurate capture and avoiding false positives.

excellent, thank you for this! i think you and the other poster made my day!

😆 some days i feel unhelpful! i was thinking after posting, i don't mind saying i'm a therapist, just prefer not to identify my specific field/licensure.

edit - ... as i'm trying to make myself not-too-identifiable.

helping professional. i won't be more specific here.

welcome to fashion. you can add things to the body that emphasize good stuff, detract from stuff you don't like, draw the eye in a particular direction, create an illusion, break up an expanse, etc.

enjoy!

because i was 18, a freshman in college, and just got dumped. i was all down about it and a friend offered me one and i thought, fuck it, why not.

then i bummed another a few days later and so on. bought my own pack within a week.

i posted about having this experience on reddit a year or two ago and people were pissed? but yeah, empty shelves and barely any employees. it sucks, because i used to enjoy going there to see what's new.

i thought you were serious. and then i thought you weren't. honestly, now i'm not sure, but i'm impressed either way.
