Shhh. Let Linus Finnish.

Not 20 years later, but at all. At least that I'd their claim and I haven't seen it debunked do far.

I'll reluctantly link a right wing article that at least tries to come across not overly sensational:

The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris’s October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs—including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage—in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald’s is absent.

Harris lists three jobs on the application and five in total on an attached résumé, according to the documents, obtained through a public records request. Harris, who submitted the application as a second-year student at then-University of California, Hastings College of the Law, included granular life experience on her résumé—"extensive travel in India, Africa, [and] Europe" and "lived in Montreal, Canada for six years"—but not McDonald’s.

They've got photos of the resume and all.

The right is losing it because Harris said she worked at a McD bad has shown no prove of it.

Possible she never has and it's a lie to appeal to the working class voters. Or not. I honestly dgaf.

This right is behaving as if Trump never told a single lie in his long life. It's Harris making a claim without backing it up has been THE THING all week now on most right wing forums I peek at.

I disagree.

Evolution is not so much a numbers game. Otherwise Bacteria, Ants, Viruses and the like would have to be crowned winners. So the point op brings up is mute moot.

The point you add, that they keep reproducing, is also not relevant in evelotionary terms. The short amount of time that we have domesticated chickens, let a side the very resent industalisation of animal farming (it started in the 1950s ish), is just not relevante in evelotionary terms.

I'd say what makes a successfull species is resilience. 99 % of all species have gone extinct. The "winners" of evelotion are, in my opinion, those species that have lasted the longest. And in that regard, chicken ain't looking to good. They are highly dependent upon humans. Most industrial chickens are genetic aborninatons, bred for beeing fat, fast growing, egg laying machines to the point where their own bones brake because they lack calcium. I'd argue that chickens in their current form would not last long in "the wild". Hence once humans are gone their is a high chance chickens will follow.

Chickens are the most numerous bird on the planet

And live their lives in fucking misery and suffering, at least most of em.

Would accessibility be a solution here? I am speaking about public transport that has dedicated spaces for wheelchairs, has ramps to get on and off etc., as well as sidewalks that are accesibil by wheelchairs, with a smith surface and ramps to get on and off to. Maybe combine that with lifts to access pedestrian subways and overbrides.

Possibly it could also mean the ability to rent, best case for free and at a place reachable by public transport with very little or no walking, a wheelchair or a simiiular solution that let's one drive rather then walk.

I'm just thinking loud, but maybe such solutions should be considered in every walkable city.

I thought the same :-).

Tough, the books make quite the point that it is not "human" intellegence they have.

And this is it. This is how we arrived where we are now.

Nature? KILL IT! EXTERMINATE IT!

We've spend 2000 years slowly beeting nature to our wims. It has destroyed the planets ecosystem on a scale only seen by planet wide desasters in the past. We have driven countless species into extinction, and still counting. We take without any regard or resecpt for anything then our own needs.

That is exactly the mindset the comment I am replying to has to me.

That's normal and unrelated. It takes about 6 to i months for the final eye colour to manifest on children.

Yeah, but try saying something slightly to nuanced about the Israel - Palestine situation almost anywhere here and you get nuked.

Masnick gives 20 levels of development. Elon stopped here:

Level Two: “We’re the free speech platform! But no CSAM!”

And that's about it. Ex-Twitter has copyright infringement, hate speech and doesn't give a fuck about local laws unless the law actually has teeth (Brasil, anybody?).

It's such a shame. Children have so much curiosity for the world.

Adults should realy nourish that, not kill it.

I've worked with children in that age range (6 and older) and it's realy crazy what they come up if you give them a bit of room to experiment with their ideas.

I agree completely.

It comes down to wanting the best for yourself and only for yourself. There can't be any other motivation for destroying a whole planet in order to get a live with vastly more money than you could ever spend.

I do this for all my character as a dm and I think it is gear to add that visual layer for player who like it.

Before it would be image search and take what a er is closest to the character. I think wonky Ai pictures, despite all their downfall, are a real improvement in this usecase .

Good point. If the wizard did this you also would never know that such a song existed. Hence your "worst song in the world" spot would be filled with a different song the instant the spell hits.

It shows how such categories as "the worst" and "the best" are only constructions of our mind.

Just that they are actively recruiting people from STEM.

Not only that, we have a couple of social science people around too :-)

Let's say it's a postmodern interpretation of the meme idea.

This is the Paper that started it. They used some (at the time) new techniques to 3d model an old fossil they had, if I recall it correctly.
