North Carolina parents are charged with involuntary manslaughter after their son, 7, is killed a car accident while walking home, driver that murdered a child gets no charges

  • I was confused because it's such a bad take... That's not what 15 minute cities are about. That's just the dumb conspiracy theories.

  • ... it conditions people for 15 minute cities and other forms of tyranny Are you saying you think the idea of having all important services within 15 minutes is tyranny?

  • I think the be careful what you do on Facebook is implied. He's highlighting something that's less expected, where you may need to be careful what you do on Windows systems.

  • I guess most methods of attack on a FOSS projects are independent of the country of origin. But, I could still see them being forced to do things they don't want in the US, without being able to tell anyone. Hopefully if that ever happened it wouldn't be too hard to detect, but you never know.

  • People gotta earn money to survive, I don't blame the employees for this. And this is not just a case of Meta's privacy being bad. This is close government involvement with potentially serious impacts and implications across all US based platforms.

  • It's not “USA bad, so product bad”, it's the concern that the US government can do a lot more to US based projects and you probably wont know untill it's too late.

  • Yeah, I've been there. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

    Jump

  • I don't remember it like that at all. I saw lots of complaints about the privacy impacts and how ineffective it would be.

  • Why shouldn't young children be able to use Discord? I have kids and want them to be able to use it to chat while they play games with friends and with me.

    I'll try to keep them to only chatting with people they know until I think they're mature enough.

    • Semen Quality Linked to Longer Lifespan in Men

  • I think they've purposefully worded it in a way that's less intuitive for more engagement. Obviously there would be many things that would adversely impact both semen quality and lifespan...

  • Why is the extremely important work of early childcare and teaching not valued as highly as banking or mine working?

    This, I think is one of the biggest issues. But, it's not caused by employers discriminating against women. It's also not something individual companies can solve. I think it's an inherent flaw in our capitalist society. Caring for rich people could earn you a decent living, but if you're caring for the people who really need it... Most of them can't pay what it's really worth.

    Also, if there's people willing to do the job at minimum wage, then there's going to be CEOs willing to hire them and take all the profit for themselves / shareholders.

  • Discord is great (ignoring privacy concerns) for playing games and chatting with some friends. But, it's crazy that so many people seem to think it's good for more public information sharing and support.

    • Are we still primitive?

    Jump

  • Primitive is a relative term. As long as we continue to progress, we won't be primitive for the current time. But, would be considered primitive in the future.

  • I don't think you fully grasp how Wikipedia works and how much work is put into it to keep it up to date and accurate. Maybe you should try changing the meaning on that page and see what happens (although I don't actually condone that kind of behavior).

    I could vouch for that specific article, because it words it better than I could. But, it seems you'd rather have a ridiculous argument than have your question answered...

  • Wikipedia is probably the most trustworthy source around. It can be wrong so you should still verify it if you want to be sure. But, I don't think there's another site with a large amount of knowledge that is so consistently accurate.

    What you should have learned from school is that you don't cite it in your papers, because it's not the original source for anything. But, you definitely should be using it for your research and using its citations to go deeper.
