Clickbait title that is clearly partisan, looks like not worth reading regardless of content.

I hope she sues them. It’s the only way these shitty companies will learn.

Google search has sucked for a couple years now. DuckDuckGo is better for everything except maps.

How exactly should we fix it? I plan to vote in the Midterms, but it’s going to be a long two years until then.

There’s no chance. What he’s doing now is what the Republicans have been trying to do since the 1980s: defund the government, deport immigrants, end legal abortion, roll back LGBTQ protections, etc.

It’s taken them this long to accomplish it because they all knew actually implementing it would be political suicide. But now they have a president who will very happily push it all through, take all the credit for it, and probably won’t even lose that much popularity as his cult of personality lets him get away with way more than most presidents would.

All they have to do is play passive for the next four years and give non-answers every time anyone asks them why they’re not standing up to Trump. Even if the Democrats win Congress and the presidency in 2028, the Republicans have the courts and can block any bill the Democrats pass, making it very difficult to fix Trump’s mess. And they can blame the recession that the next president inherits on that president, giving them a decent shot at 2032.

In short, Republicans have no reason to want to impeach Trump. They can use him as their attack dog to do what they want without getting their own hands dirty.

Up until recently, I always scoffed at presidents running on “the economy” due to the classical wisdom that presidential policies are a small drop in the bucket in the overall economic picture and that the influence they do have typically isn’t felt until after they’ve left office.

Trump proved me wrong on this one. He’s speedrunning a recession.

Not everything you see in a paper is automatically science, and not every person involved is a scientist.

That picture is a diagram, not science. It was made by a writer, specifically a columnist for Medium.com, not a scientist. It was cited by a professor who, by looking at his bio, was probably not a scientist. You would know this if you followed the citation trail of the article you posted.

You’re citing an image from a pop culture blog and are calling it science, which suggests you don’t actually know what you’re posting, you just found some diagram that you thought looked good despite some pretty glaring flaws and are repeatedly posting it as if it’s gospel.

What is this nonsense Euler diagram? Emotion can intersect with consciousness, but emotion is also a subset of consciousness but emotion also never contains emotion? Intelligence does overlap at all with sentience, sapience, or emotion? Intelligence isn’t related at all to thought, knowledge, or judgement?

Did AI generate this?

1. Leveraged synergy
2. Integrated corporate infrastructure
3. Networked
4. Circled back to all previous pings to close the loop
5. Synergized networks

So prior to Win 7 or so, Ctrl+Alt+Del brought up the task manager. Now it brings up a lock screen from which you can select additional options.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc pulls up the task manager, like it did back when you learned it.

Why not Ctrl+Shift+Esc?

Having an open mind is great and all, but once you’ve gathered enough information to take a position you’re not obligated to coddle those who remain willfully ignorant. I’ve personally never found astrology “fun,” it’s stupid woo that encourages people to adopt other stupid woo. At a time when anti-intellectualism is being institutionalized into government policy (in the US at least,) I don’t see how anyone in good faith can actively encourage that.

Yep, back in the 90s they were in some places. My local supermarket had one like this, except without the annoying ad on the left side.

That wasn’t so much a “fact” told in school as it was a prediction, and it was true for them. Some people carried pocket calculators, but most people didn’t. Some supermarkets has calculators built into their carts, but most didn’t.

Failing to predict society’s norms in 20 years isn’t the same as teaching a false fact.

Same. I’m playing GTA San Andreas on mobile (through Netflix if you interested) and while the game holds up, all the minigames suck ass. I’m likely not going to complete a single one. Maybe I’ll cave and do burglaries for infinite sprint, but probably not.

I’m on 12, and will be upgrading to 13 when Trixie hits stable.

It’s pay in the US. Your country’s customs are not universal.

A knockoff iPhone charger from China. I plugged it into my computer and it literally caught fire.

Cries in USA.

Exactly my impression. And my response? Fuck that shit.
