I asked gpt about it and it said that human corpses can be used as fertilizer to grow potatoes, but that it wasn't recommended and there were better fertilizers.

So then I asked if it I were skynet and didn't care about human life would it make sense, and it said there would be legal or societal backlash... and I asked if it skynet would care about that and it said it wouldn't.

... so I think we're good!

I get that logic, but there is a dose at which, over a lifetime, they do not accumulate to a dangerous level.

There is also a dose which, when added or removed, does not make a difference compared to all the other sources.

Edit: One should also take into account that most people naturally stop eating chocolate before the age of 120. Now, question is, what is such a dose and how often do we see people getting dangerous cumulative amounts of heavy metals from chocolate?

For people who didn't read the article:

> Eckstrom has said the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report exaggerated the state's cash balances for a decade by double counting the money sent to colleges and universities. The mistake went unsolved until a junior staffer fixed the error this fall.

This sounds like straight up incompetence.

Defund is the worst term ever concocted for this situation. Two problems exist in policing: 1.) police officers are violent idiots who can’t always be trusted to enforce laws fairly or judiciously 2.) communities brutalized by police are also underserved by police enforcement against crime, which feeds poverty and blight (see: clearance rates) Defunding implies flat cuts. It is the wrong communication. All because weirdo activists think that “reform” magically neuters anything they do and fucks their wives
