old lady deflation:

Their megayachts would actually become cheaper too :)

Please enlighten my unamerican ass, what Genocides did trump do on US soil in his first term? (Asked snarkily but a sincere question)

Some people are still racist

cats style CGI fursuits, except now it's kermit

We scrolled through the feed every couple of weeks to check what was being served up.

This is a critical flaw in the studies methodology. 'loiter time' is a metric used by algorithms to serve up new content, if the researchers where checking each post for signs of misogyny, then they were probably skipping by totally innocucus stuff whilst paying attention to misogyny. This (being the only feedback given) will have shown the researchers what they wanted to see.

Three months later, The Office, Star Wars, and now The Boys memes continue to punctuate the feed, now interspersed with highly sexist and misogynistic images that have have appeared in the feed without any input from the user.

It'd be good to know the actual ratios, given this was a guardian study there's no reason to withhold data, nor a secondary source I can go and find the data. It's possible that Facebook is simply serving up the entire spectrum of posts proportionately to their activity on the internet, or even favouring anti-sexist posts that are just not noticed/mentioned by the guardian.

Does anyone genuinely believe banning this sorta stuff is going to "end violence against women and children in one generation"?

I think you have excessive confidence in the cyber security of old institutions.

But also: Is this not NCD? I absolutely want tech-bros running the MIC. I want the next generation of supercarriers to be the Starship to Gerald R. Fords, SLS we are NATO, we can sacrafice a little bit of short-term military readiness in exchange for doing cool shit again.

Company proceeds to be purchased by microsoft

is this a poem?

Where are you getting 'do anything' from? All OP has said is maybe the octogenerian should retrire.

The news of KSP 2's death has got me playing KSP [1] for the first time in years. It's still abyssmally optimised, but nonetheless fun as ever!

ok but here me out: symbiotes are famously in short supply on trill, they gotta repopulate somehow.

Compared to previous budgets, less. The rise in spending is 1%, whilst the rise in military wages will be 4.5% to reach a $15 Minium wage for federal employees (Neither is inflation adjusted).

I will just point out that most of Christendom does have pretty strong workers protections/universal healthcare etc... (or at the very least has flirted with it in the past between corrupt governments: see Italy/Russia/Greece/Venuzula). America Is very much the odd-ball here.

I'm not sure I see the anti-catholicism?

Just like how preventing the genocide of poles/jews/gypsies in europe required the counter-genocide of the German people?

Confict between Iran and the west does not need to be settled in Gazan hospitals. Why I ought I support the actual in-progress genocide because of the hypothetical genocide that would be carried out in absence of western support, espacily given that Isreali military spending alone is already twice Iranian? Withdrawing support from Isreal would not wipe the nation out, just cause it to place greater weight on international support (and thereby international law) when conducting their war.

whilst people side with neo purely due to their shared philosophical suppositions?

Or one parent was Irish and Jewish and the other was french and atheist

The clones where already phased out by the time of the alliance to restore the republic, it was the empire that had wiped them out (always pull up the ladder behind you).

On a more serious note: the 'both sides bad' point is a bit moot when many western nations (including the USA and UK, where most english speaking twit-lords come from) are actively providing financial and military support to one of those sides. If it were discovered MI6 had been smuggling missiles to hamas then we could talk about what how to put a stop to it.
