Im starting to think that what a lot of people learned from the holocaust wasn't 'never let this happen again', but 'never let this happen to the jews again'. The people of gaza are being wiped out because we, the west, can't hold a Jewish state accountable for their actions, because that might make us nazis in the eyes of morons and their propagandists.

In a free market the leash is consumer choice. Now show me the dumb appliance/no network of things options.

I made a coffee cake recently and made maple syrup icing for it. They go together deliciously well.

NO

Americans use sticks and tablespoons to measure butter and it does my fucking head in. A tablespoon of oil, however, is perfectly acceptable.

In Australia we use local primary schools as voting places. I have always walked to vote.

I see you're just parroting things you don't understand.

Im an atheist. If you don't want to hear differing opinions then what are you doing on a message board?

Forcing women to accept fake porn of themselves does not give women agency. It does the opposite.

This is exactly the same as slut shaming just in the opposite direction. Prude is a word designed to shame women who refuse to be sex objects.

He also thinks it's an affront to nature and creation that could lead to cloning, so yeah..

What you mean to say is that non consensual nude pictures of women will be normalised and you're ok with that. Sexual assault and domestic violence are also pretty common, you want to normalise those too?

Who are you tell people how they ought to feel? The desire for privacy is perfectly normal and you are the one trying to shame people for not wanting naked pictures of themselves everywhere.

They gave the chatbot instructions on how to get the word from the ascii art. It can't read ascii art. You could have read the article though..

I did kinda take that song to heart.

Here is some more information about the trump angle: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-tiktok-ban-reversal-china-jeff-yass-why.html

But Thursday night, while the political class was training its attention on President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, Trump reversed himself. “If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business,” he wrote. “I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!”

Humanity’s superpower is sweating—but rising heat could be our kryptonite, and an average temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels could bring regular, fatal heat waves to large parts of the planet, says Tom Matthews, a senior lecturer in environmental geography at King’s College London.

“We have evolved to cope with the most extreme heat and humidity the planet can throw at us,” he explains. But when our core temperature gets to about 42 degrees Celsius (around 107.5 degrees Fahrenheit), people face heat stroke and probable death as the body strains to keep cool and the heart works harder, inducing heart attacks.

Matthews cites an example from his home country, the UK. In the summer of 2022, the UK broke its high temperature record, surpassing 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Scientists estimate there were roughly 3,500 heat-associated deaths that summer in the UK. Across Europe, they estimate high heat caused more than 60,000 deaths.

Meteorologist Debunks Weather Myths

“At 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming, the likes of Lagos, Karachi, [and] Shanghai start to experience heat waves exceeding our limit. At 2 degrees Celsius, the events increase at least 10 times more often, and if we get to 8 degrees Celsius, a large fraction of the Earth’s surface would be too hot for our physiology and would not be habitable,” he says.

Air conditioning and heat-escape rooms would help, but we might need to abandon intense outdoor work such as rice farming in hotter regions. And these solutions will need to be able to meet demand. “The infrastructure must be able to withstand the surges when everyone turns on the air conditioning, and must be able to withstand hurricanes or floods,” he says.

Our best hope in the face of inevitable rises in heat? Cooperation. “We’ve built forecasting systems that will warn us when disasters are incoming by working together at enormous scale. We must continue to do the same.”

Did you finish the article? It has a whole paragraph about their decision to cut their own workforce.

These issues are even more pressing for a company like Bumble which is currently struggling with growth and appealing to a younger audience that seems less interested in dating apps than their older counterparts. The dating app maker posted a weak Q4, with a $32 million net loss and $273.6 million in revenue. It also announced it was letting go of 350 employees after other organizational shifts that saw founder Whitney Wolfe Herd stepping down as CEO and a shake-up in the C-suite, which included the appointment of former Slack CEO Lidiane Jones as its new CEO.

From the transcript of the speech:

REPRESENTATIVE GREENE: What about Laken Riley?

(Cross-talk.)

AUDIENCE: Booo —

REPRESENTATIVE GREENE: Say her name!

THE PRESIDENT: (The President holds up a pin reading “Say Her Name, Laken Riley.”) Lanken — Lanken (Laken) Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed.

REPRESENTATIVE GREENE: By an illegal!

THE PRESIDENT: By an illegal. That’s right. But how many of thousands of people are being killed by legals?

I don't see the problem. His response rightly points out that murders happen regardless of the perpetrators legal status.
