So… was making bricks out of human blood an option?

Reply to comment by MiraniaTLS in South Carolina's comptroller quits after a $3.5 billion accounting error by kangarooturd
I was gonna say, flashing "Accounting for Dummies" in a public place is the kind of thing that makes people unsympathetic when one screws up the accounting.

Get some of those industrial size washing machines, the kind used in resort hotels that can wash 60 full sets of sheets. Add cash, coins, pocket lint, and a handful of cocaine.
Money laundered

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!

Reply to comment by BeneficialElephant5 in Hershey ‘evaluating’ if it can eliminate lead, cadmium in its chocolate: CFO by GhostlyRuse
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.

Don't worry, I'm sure GPT won't make any modest proposals.

This applies to most things. It doesn't apply to heavy metals because they accumulate over your entire life.

It's okay, turns out, the missing billions that should have gone to fund lunch programs for starving children went to more worthy source, to fund a volley ball stadium for Brett Farve's daughter's college.

Hershey evaluation then showed that they can eliminate it but that they don't want to. Because money and who do you think you are, I am

I dunno, ever since I heard about blood pudding I've been waiting for a sci-fi novel wherein the elites make it from the poors
Edit: now I'm nervous that if it's not a book, maybe it's the future

There’s a distinction between being rude or offensive and being disruptive/harassing/nuisance, which is what I’m getting from this?

Reply to comment by Donmiggy143 in San Francisco official who pushed to defund police pleads for more officers in her district by Top-Organization-124
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
