I don't like the idea of a potentially world ending nuclear stand-off, but we've learned well enough from these past couple of years that having nukes is the only way to guarantee your country's sovereignty against other nuclear powers.
I'd feel sorry for Elon IF his losses weren't entirely perpetuated by his own immoral actions.
You want to be a fascist doing Nazi salutes and repeating Nazi rhetoric? - then don't be surprised when people don't want to associate you or your products.
Not that it matter, because he'll survive off the back of SpaceX - which of course is not on DOGE's radar.
In theory Nitrogen suffocation should be incredibly humane. Nitrogen gas is incredibly dangerous in the workplace exactly because the human body is incapable of noticing it displacing air. It can kill you without you even noticing until you keel over dead.
Problem is when you shove a mask on someone's face and pump nitrogen into it, that's not what you're doing...
That doesn't displace the air the executed was breathing, because the air has nowhere to go, so it just mixes with the Nitrogen gas.
The O2 gets used up and CO2 builds up until they die, which is basically normal suffocation (which is incredibly inhumane) with a side of Nitrogen gas.
To do it properly, you'd need to a much bigger chamber so that the air in the executed's lungs would be easily displaced, or a way to filter the CO2 out of the air they're breathing... But who's got time for that, when you can just torture prisoners with something that should be humane and pretend you have no idea why it "doesn't work properly" /s
LLMs are made to mimic how we speak, and some can even pass the Turing test, so I'm not surprised that people who don't know better think of these LLMs as conscious in some way or another.
It's not a necessarily a fault on those people, it's a fault on how LLMs are purposefully misadvertised to the masses
Customs and Border Protection said in an emailed statement, “Arriving aliens bear the burden of establishing admissibility to the United States.”
One, that language is a solid ick.
Two, while it may be true that she has to prove admissability...
A notice of court order violation filed Saturday said CBP “had actual notice of this Court’s order and willfully disobeyed this Court’s order.” It further requested an order to return Alawieh to Massachusetts immediately and to schedule an emergency hearing as soon as practicable.
... What the fuck is she meant to do when they refuse to accept her documents (a valid passport and H-1B visa), and then deport her in spite of an explicit court order??
Tell you what Nicole is really dedicated to making friends on here. Messaged just about everybody, with multiple accounts even. Definitely nothing suspicious about that /s
The fact that they're still doing this means people are falling for it, and I feel sorry for those people, cause this scam is clearly designed to prey on those who feel lonely and are too naive to know better
His "experts" are all cronies - and they're not even slightly interested in the plight of the people, including the retirement prospects of 71 year old Mrs. Redlich.
Having any faith that Trump's administratiom will do anything except line their wallets with tax payer money and do their upmost to fuck over Ukraine is morbidly stupid.
A game with actual gambling disguised as a loot system - perfectly fine, PEGI 3+
A game that depicts gambling but has no actual gambling in it - absolutely fucking NOT, PEGI 18+
I can understand why PEGI would be hesitant to give a game depicting gambling a rating of 3+...
But putting it as 18+, on the same level as actual, real money gambling games is ridiculous.
It shows a complete lack of awareness regarding the difference in danger between depiction of gambling vs actual gambling.
And perhaps more dangerously means malicious publishers (cough EA cough) are able to get away with slipping disguised real money gambling into their games (and in front of children eyes) unnoticed.
Yeah. With 10 billion people in the world, only 0.0001% of people need to be boat owners for there to be a million boat owners... And I'd be willing to be the actual % is higher than that
There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views.
That's exactly what a journalistic organisation is meant to do Jeff, especially now when the world is increasingly being filled with mouthpieces that regurgitate what their owners want them to.
An organisation that puts out only one opinion, or is only allowed to put out one opinion, is nothing more than a mouthpiece.
Its a shame to see the Post becoming just another mouthpiece.
I wouldn't say it's just more important, I'd say it's a moral imperative to support Ukraine's fight for it's sovereign land over keeping buddy-buddy with a government running rampant with corruption and Russian puppetry
Terrorism, according to the United Nations General Assembly:
Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.
Luigi certainly didn't bring the public into a state of terror, if anything quite the opposite - so I suppose the real question is do we class Health Insurance Executives politically as a group of people to incite terror onto?
I'd argue that a group of people who would happily sign away someone's life if it meant them getting richer don't deserve that kind of recognition, but I'd bet the courts will say yes because their rich friends want an example made of him.
It's the tried and tested Elon Musk method of performance evaluation. Fire all the workers, then be shocked when they don't want their old job back for a lower wage and worse contract terms
Well done to DOGE for absolutely tearing up the place scrounging up the US Government's metaphorical pennies, whilst ignoring actual budget inefficiencies, such as the infamously overzealous military budget
I've been using protonmail basically since its inception for money-related stuff (due to it being secure), and the one time I've had a fraud flag appear while using it was due to being on a VPN at the same time.
... But I've had that also happen when I used to daily drive Gmail, so I can't imagine the Proton part made the difference.
Obviously anecdotes aren't very good evidence, and maybe in your experience it was your email - but if that is the case, I'd be weary of any provider that automatically flags non-"big tech" addresses as fraudulent. That likely means they're rather lazy about their cybersecurity.
Abso-fucking-lutely they should...
