Where did you come from, where did you go, where did you come from Genocide Joe ?

From what i read about it, Apple has a walled garden but charges a flat fee for everyone and has no special deals. Everyone pays the same and they make a little money off of the store but also the hardware sold.

Whereas Google has been caught treating certain parties differently, such as Spotify, something called Project Hug, where they gave extra benefits to parties at risk of leaving the play store, among other unequal dealings.

So the crux of the question is not about the monopoly itself, but the fact that Google is treating market players differently and throwing its weight around to influence the market to its advantage.

Why would they be conservative ? I do agree with you that this thread is full of people trying to justify the unjustifiable, but let me remind you the party in power providing its full unquestionable support for Israel is the Democrat party, spearheaded by Biden, a Democrat president, who is very, very happy and supportive with all this. So being a douche is a bit all over the place if you ask me. You can't necessarily point at douchebaggery and instantly realize it's conservative.

The military industrial complex can't profit from peace. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a gold mine.

Clickbait titled articles often do but purposefully obscure the topic. A title should inform the reader of the content, such as "Polish truck drivers protest EU war exemptions for Ukraine".

Instead, click bait articles go for sensationalist non informative titles, like "You won't BELIEVE what Polish truck drivers have done by the border to Ukraine!!!!"

They are mad because of the economic exemptions the EU gave Ukraine to support the war has hurt their profits. Ukrainian truck drivers are making the best of it and taking deals in Europe that are normally more expensive and Ukrainians have no access to.

Fuck that clickbait. Why do journalists feel the need to continue this annoying practice ?

I see. Thank you for your reply and for the stories of your friends. It's an interesting way to see things. I have nothing further to reply.

You can use fortsexually for every other sexual. That way bisexual can be reserved for twice sexual.

Maybe the hole was made for the puddle, who's to say it wasn't? Perhaps a large number of coincidental occurrences made it, but there sits the water in a hole that perfectly accommodates it. Something that the people who built the road expected. How can one say it wasn't the intention of the organization of the universe in a series of probabilities that one day that water would be right on that puddle, in a specific moment in time? Wouldn't that arguably make the hole made for the water at that point in time ?

I guess that's more of a philosophy debate, but honestly until we get more data, it could be anything. All we know is that our long range scanners have not detected advanced civilizations and that doesn't match our expectations. It could be because they don't exist, it could be because they're hiding themselves from us.

We know very little about alien life at this point and until we have more information, every explanation is possible. Some scientific explanations of the universe or life that were eventually discovered were certainly more wild and vivid than we previously thought before. I'm not saying this is what is necessary happening, just something that could be happening.

I think we're the North Sentinelese of the Milky Way and we're being purposefully insulated so we develop technologically and sociologically up to a certain point where we'll be able to join everyone else. I doubt they'll say anything. That's the point. In fact i think we're being shielded as a kindness, possibly protected too. We, as a species, can't even leave the solar system and return. I'm guessing an advanced enough civilization could create a believable enough reproduction of the universe for us to study.

I think the difference between the alien UN and our global organization is probably the same level as the difference between our UN and the North Sentinel Island tribal elders.

It just doesn't make sense that the galaxy is empty. But my theory is just my best guess. I have no concrete evidence. I do think there are some mighty coincidences around here. For instance, a solar system stocked with several planets and minerals and a long life stable star, almost ideal from all the various star types available. A random meteorite hitting the earth after millions of years of dinosaurs not developing intelligent life. A very logical progression of bodies for a space faring civilization to grow. First the moon, then mars, then venus, etc. A lot of asteroids that seem to zip by Earth but always near miss at an alarming common rate. Jupiter strategically placed to keep Earth safe from a large number of meteors and other celestial bodies.

I think humans are a benevolent, non intrusive biological experiment by an advanced species or at the very least a protected species in some nature reserve. Them interacting with us could potentially hamper our development. It could be that religions were their previous attempts but didn't work out so well.

For real. I always skip show intros, i find them a pointless waste of time and resources that I'm just going to skip anyway, but this show and Game of Thrones are the exceptions because of the cool songs. I am not familiar with Trème though.

We're billions of people on the planet. Most jobs don't even pay enough to feed a couple of people. I believe that there is an oversaturation of people on the planet and this has caused a devaluation of their labor.

Europe would have remained feudal for quite a longer time if the population collapse caused by the black plague hadn't happened and caused the demographic changes that it did. Without the plague, peasant labor would be plentiful and the status quo would not have changed. However, with the population reduction, the class in power had to concede to enough changes that brought about the Reinassance and the Industrial era quickly after.

In the Bronze age, without the climate changes that brought about cold and dry conditions and triggered the fall of the city states ruled by an oppressive theocratic class, humans would have still been tied to those stifling conditions for longer and wouldn't have brought about the classical era.

With the onset of AI and advanced robotics, population collapse will allow people to see their labor valued adequately, instead of just more and more people in the workforce working more hours and getting paid less and less, doing meaningless busy work jobs to pay for things that they don't need or enjoy, like crypto, gambling or online cam girls. A controlled collapse by fertility is not only non threatening, it is also desirable and the most acceptable way to cull numbers a bit. We need this, otherwise, the base of the pyramid will only get wider while the top will only get slimmer. Tragedy breeds suffering, but also change and we NEED change. The problem is the transition, but after the transition, we'll be in a better place as a society and we will bring about change.

10 episodes of a prematurely cancelled show due to the incompetence of Fox plus a movie called Serenity which wraps up what should have been the rest of season 1. It's about a crew that does odd jobs in a Rimworld/space cowboy-esque theme.

I just watched it again for like the nth time. It's still so good. It has Nathan Filion, Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin and the fantastic Summer Glau!

The show is great, although i have noticed how it has a pretty high amount of shots of Summer Glau's feet. Just Summer Glau walking and the camera panning to her feet, over and over, almost every episode. It doesn't even make sense because the spaceship is made of metal grates and sheets, not carpet.

I'm guessing the show runner was into feet. But other than that, the show is pretty wholesome.

Might as well sue the ISP as well. Who else can parents blame for their lack of competence and awareness in what their children are doing in an environment where they can communicate, apparently in an unfiltered manner, with adults ?

It's really funny. Companies have made all sorts of lockdown programs and monitoring software anyone can purchase for any operating system and then there's parents blaming other entities for the fact that they have decided not to use those programs.

We chose not to have kids, but still we are apparently saddled with raising the kids other people chose to have. It's like having a toddler and no door, then your toddler walks into traffic, dies, and you blame the city for killing your toddler. That's UK law for you.

The guy in the article had the child send him 220 pictures right under a mother and father's nose before he was caught. A child who, by the way, was 11, barely a teen. Holy terrible parenting, batman. These people should lose custody immediately.

I have a rocket science joke, but it's pretty complicated.

What's the first indicator a scientist tried to build their own experiment using the soldering station ?

The smell of burnt fingers.

What's the scientist waiting for sitting in front of their own experiment ?

Waiting for the infinite loop they coded to finish after they claimed they didn't need the engineer's help to write the code in their experiment.

How many scientists do you need to change a light bulb ?

Theoretically just one, but it can take several until one of them can call an engineer and admit they only know how to change light bulbs theoretically.

What does a scientist call an electrolytic capacitor ?

Acid distribution subsystem.

A dude got caught making bomb threats at Harvard because he was the only one in his university that connected to TOR and they knew from the entry node it had to be from that area. They checked the logs and only one PC had directly connected to the TOR network from that area at that time. The guy wanted more time to study.

And a separate flash with your password database, PGP keyring and an encrypted files vault. If you need to go or to destroy/hide evidence, a flash drive is much easier, specially when the task force going after you is more worried about hard drives and laptops and usually gloss over flash drives at least initially.
