Came to comment exactly this! Although I was tempted by:

“This review has only one line, it says ‘Shit Sandwich.’”

TIL! Appreciate the somewhat scary education.

I was meaning in relation to the average turtle but I take your point and appreciate the info. What’s the book out of interest?

Yeah I’ve looked a bit harder and I see the spider shape a bit better now (from underneath), the slight motion blur in places would suggest not AI but I’m not totally convinced. From a quick search these spiders aren’t that big so that must be a very baby turtle, and I don’t know what’s going on around the mouth but it doesn’t look right, nor does the interference pattern of the ripples.

Agreeing with me would make a lot of people a lot more comfortable 😅

This is AI right?

Right?!

…it is though - the ripples make no sense, nor does the ant-spider in size or shape.

Damn asset creators and their three figure salaries

Well that depends on where you look at the earth from doesn’t it. It’s like saying ‘righty righty, lefty loosey’ which only holds true as long as you’re thinking about the top edge of the screw head.

If you’re in the mood for something not trip hop but with a similar vocal style you might enjoy Lamb - later stuff is probably most similar, earlier stuff is a bit more esoteric.

That is not a question, it’s a correlative conjunction

No that is time well spent tho

What are you talking about? She’s a Polish girl from Toronto (29 y/o), it says so right there!

This is a great idea

Not more specific I’m just correcting the inaccuracy - it’s a quote from your source :) I had a look around for a more specific figure too though out of interest and I’m really surprised that particular statistic isn’t easier to find given how shocking the numbers are. I’m not in the US so this subject always seems mad any way you look at it.

Edit: This site seems to have good data but you’d have to analyze it to come up with figures. The charts are very disturbing.

The statement oversimplifies or lacks nuance in certain areas. Here’s a breakdown of potential inaccuracies or overgeneralizations:

Technology and Connectivity • Computing Power: While personal computers, smartphones, and the internet have revolutionized life, the digital divide persists, leaving many without access to these benefits. • Global Connectivity: The internet does foster collaboration, but it has also enabled misinformation, cybercrime, and increased surveillance, which are significant downsides. • Medical Technology: While advances have improved healthcare, access to such technologies remains inequitable, particularly in low-income regions.

Healthcare and Longevity • Life Expectancy: While global life expectancy has risen, it doesn’t account for disparities between high-income and low-income countries, where life expectancy gains are less pronounced. • Disease Control: Smallpox has been eradicated, but other diseases (e.g., malaria, tuberculosis) still pose major threats, especially in resource-limited areas. Progress on HIV/AIDS and cancer varies greatly depending on access to treatment.

Social Progress • Civil Rights: While progress has been made, setbacks and inequalities remain pervasive. For instance, systemic racism, gender inequality, and LGBTQ+ discrimination continue to be significant issues in many regions. • Global Awareness: Awareness has increased, but this doesn’t always translate into action or consensus. For example, awareness of climate change is high, yet global emissions continue to rise.

Education • Access: Literacy rates and education access have improved, but quality disparities and barriers (e.g., cost, conflict, cultural resistance) remain significant in many parts of the world. • Digital Learning: Online education is a major advancement, but it has also exacerbated inequalities for those without reliable internet or technology access.

Economic Development • Global Poverty Reduction: Extreme poverty has declined, but inequality has increased within and between countries. Many people remain in “near-poverty” conditions, vulnerable to economic shocks. • Global Trade: While trade has raised living standards, it has also contributed to economic disparities, labor exploitation, and environmental degradation in some regions.

Environmental Awareness • Clean Energy: Renewable energy technologies have advanced, but fossil fuels still dominate the global energy mix, and transitioning to renewables is uneven across countries. • Global Efforts: International agreements like the Paris Accord are important, but their implementation has been inconsistent, with some countries failing to meet their commitments.

Quality of Life • Convenience: Modern conveniences have simplified life for many, but they have also created new challenges, such as privacy concerns, waste generation, and the gig economy’s precariousness. • Entertainment: Access to diverse entertainment is widespread, but it has also raised concerns about overconsumption, digital addiction, and the homogenization of culture.

Overall

The statement frames advancements in a generally positive light but often overlooks persistent inequalities, unintended consequences, and systemic challenges that accompany these developments. A more balanced perspective would acknowledge these complexities.

“There were 2,526 gun deaths in 2022 among 1- to 17-year-olds, averaging to nearly 7 per day.”

48,204 is total gun deaths.

These are both horrific figures and in no way am I intending to diminish either.

Fuck me I thought you meant Ronald McDonald for a minute there
