Coin flip between it just being yet another case of musk lashing out because his ego hurts and him trying to distance himself from the trump admin when the closeness has caused catastrophic damage to his companies brands (too little too late, but still)

Agreed

How do you reverse a chemical castration if it's later revealed the person was wrongfully convicted?

You stop the regimen of drugs and the primary effect ceases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_castration

I'm not arguing for the policy, I think violating someones bodily authority is inherently evil and should not be on the table even as a result of a criminal conviction.

But I think our objections should follow the science, we should object to the harm caused to the (falsely)convicted while on the drugs rather than the permencance of the sentence.

The difference is that chemical castration is typically a course of drugs that alter the body's hormone production while it's being taken to reduce sexual desire/function, when the subject stops taking the drugs the body returns to its natural hormone balance.

Physical mutilation is a one off, permenant, irreversible operation.

The problem is that the term chemical castration is wildly misleading in its attempt to describe the process.

The only series I would consider installing ubisofts launcher for.

The trailer looks really good, it seems like they have made modifiers for island beauty localised rather than island wide which makes sense, now we can benefit from building sperate residential and industrial districts.

Land based combat I think is also new, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, but the lack did always seem like a glaring omission in 1800.

Hopefully they have done away with the influence system or at-least heavily modified it, it felt so bad in 1800 having to pick between ships, island defenses and buildings that allowed you to actually use all the cool items you found.

As much as I dislike the fact that the "flagship" instance for lemmy is an echo chamber that bans for political wrong think, I still think Lemmy on average is a positive and it isn't funded by ads or vcs so it should be proof against the most common avenues for enshittification.

So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I'm donating to if I were to comment on their instance.

Same way I can't stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn't use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.

Support "better" rather than waiting for "perfect"

Just to add to your (excellent) comment; in the UK you can be prescribed medical marijuana but it has to be done by a consultant level doctor and a multi disciplinary trial. The most important disqualifying factor is any history of psychosis, if they see that on your medical records they will not write you a prescription.

So I would a assume there is some published medical literature they are following which states cannabis exacerbates the symptoms of psychosis.

I got nitro for similar reasons but would up cancelling when discord sent ads to a friend of mine with my screen name on it, "why not join your friend _____ with nitro" or something.

Absolutely not, don't use my name to shill to people I respect.

Israel's war crimes do not excuse Hamas' terrorist attacks, nor do Hamas' terror attacks excuse Israel's war crimes.

Intentionally escalating the conflict and suppressing rival organisations then turning around and saying "we are the only counterbalance to Israel, you must deal with us" is also kinda gross.

That said, it's weird that they want the UK involved given the history of the conflict and the relatively paltry (and apparently declining?) level of arms exports.

I think the EU also designated Hamas as a terrorist organisation and Germany is a big arms exporter so I would have expected them to focus on getting that designation repealed.

So my understanding is that they are the second strongest, but still at around 20% the other German parties formed a coalition that froze Afd out of power. So they are still a threat in future elections, but they have limited impact on policy for now.

Is that correct or have I got the wrong idea?

The interesting thing about reading from different bubbles to get the different perspectives on the same event is just how different the set of events covered is.

The right may be furious about something and the left barely cover it and vice versa, it needs to be a huge event to attract comment from both sides.

Even if you don't buy into this logic, you still have to do it in quite a few places because the security auditors have a line in their checklist about being able to extract any internal information from error pages

Best of luck with the job search, linkedin is awful, but at-least the need for it passes.

A bit of both, I got Manchester from the skyline then needed to sate my curiosity

I think this is why the OP mentioned buy less stuff and travel less, these two directly reduce the demand for environmentally harmful goods and services, reducing the ecological impact of the companies which issue the shares that make the billionaires in question billionaires.

It's kinda disappointing to see a post about good actionable advice to do the best you can to reduce climate change and the first reply on Lemmy is non actionable (and more controversially; to my mind irrelevant) advice to assassinate billionaires.

So as far as I can tell the rule for deciding if a french word is feminine is "does it end with an e".

There are exceptions and French people claim that's not how it works, but it is an incredibly useful heuristic

The Hamas and IDF aligned telegram channels have both been remarkably consistent about cheering when about our munitions landing in their territory and decrying the reverse.

The threat of international condemnation and the less hawkish members of the Israeli government and electorate.

Predictably the rate at which civilians in Gaza are bombed by Israel went up not down after Hamas' acts of terrorism the other week.

Even if you believe that the Israeli government is ontologically evil; serving them up causus belli to bomb and potentially invade Palestinian lands does not constitute "preventing Palestinians from being exterminated", rather it actively helps them hastens the process

Makes sense, the code-points split is stable; meaning it's fine to put in the standard library, the grapheme split changes every year so the volatility is probably better off in a crate.
