So, you think when bad laws go away, the attitudes behind them disappear as if by magic?

The article gives up-to-date statistics as well as the dates of various laws. If you think those statistics are wrong, or don't demonstrate what the authors say they do, you can explain. Or admit that your opinion is rooted in abject ignorance of the world you live in. Either will do.

Bullshit.

You probably missed my edit. You didn't give evidence for your position so I've asked you to refute evidence for mine, just to make it nice and simple for you.

The story is about Italy?

You didn't give your evidence so perhaps you'd prefer to refute this? Patriarchy in disguise — the myth of gender equality in the Netherlands

So, you think you live in a society where discrimination based on sex does not exist.

Where is that, and what is your evidence for your claim?

So you do think there is a patriarchy? And you think it is based on fact, not the social construction of gender?

Something being a social construct does not mean it has no real world effects. That's kind of the point of identifying it as a social construct. HTH

And are we not animals just doing the same?

If you know what "man made" means you know this question is pointless?

They don't seem to list the instances they trawled (just the top 25 on a random day with a link to the site they got the ranking from but no list of the instances, that I can see).

We performed a two day time-boxed ingest of the local public timelines of the top 25 accessible Mastodon instances as determined by total user count reported by the Fediverse Observer...

That said, most of this seems to come from the Japanese instances which most instances defederate from precisely because of CSAM? From the report:

Since the release of Stable Diffusion 1.5, there has been a steady increase in the prevalence of Computer-Generated CSAM (CG-CSAM) in online forums, with increasing levels of realism.17 This content is highly prevalent on the Fediverse, primarily on servers within Japanese jurisdiction.18 While CSAM is illegal in Japan, its laws exclude computer-generated content as well as manga and anime. The difference in laws and server policies between Japan and much of the rest of the world means that communities dedicated to CG-CSAM—along with other illustrations of child sexual abuse—flourish on some Japanese servers, fostering an environment that also brings with it other forms of harm to children. These same primarily Japanese servers were the source of most detected known instances of non-computer-generated CSAM. We found that on one of the largest Mastodon instances in the Fediverse (based in Japan), 11 of the top 20 most commonly used hashtags were related to pedophilia (both in English and Japanese).

Some history for those who don't already know: Mastodon is big in Japan. The reason why is… uncomfortable

I haven't read the report in full yet but it seems to be a perfectly reasonable set of recommendations to improve the ability of moderators to prevent this stuff being posted (beyond defederating from dodgy instances, which most if not all non-dodgy instances already do).

It doesn't seem to address the issue of some instances existing largely so that this sort of stuff can be posted.

Clickbait, conspiranoid nonsense.

Not that I'm going to click on it but come the fuck on. Rich people employ a lot of people and like living in nice waterfront properties. Oh noes, two people with the same job title drowned!!1!1!!

Not if you're USian. But apparently 'politics' only exists for USians. Confusing, I know. Probably best not to worry about it. If you're not interested, just scroll on by.

It's not really drip? I mean, I'm new around these parts so I may not understand the nuances of terminology here. But it only drips to the extent that it can't not drip, for however long your brew time is. The bulk of the work is done by the press, not gravity.

There are loads of examples, that's a very good one (fibre burns in calorimeters so can throw calorie counts off a lot).

Raw food delivers fewer (usable) calories than cooked food, whether it's vegetables or steak.

Highly processed foods, especially carbohydrates, deliver their calories fast, spiking blood sugar and stimulating insulin production to lay the excess energy down as fat. If you're hibernating for winter, you want the fat. But if you're running a marathon you want slow (protein and fat) and slower (complex carbohydrates) release foods.

Chill your potatoes/rice/pasta for 24 hours and it will have more complex carbohydrates than it did when freshly cooked. Reheat them and they'll have even more. Jury still out on whether this means frozen chips (fries) are a healthy food...

Even the amount you chew affects the number of calories available (analogous to the amount of pre-processing being important).

How reheating pasta and other carbs can make them healthier

I suppose it depends on whether you're interested in the amount of energy contained in a food or the amount of energy a human being can obtain from the food. We're typically only interested in the latter.

Calories are not interchangeable if you're interested in nutrition (as opposed to burning things).

You want to see a forum full of people whining about what other users choose to post?

There are exceptions to the rule, and this is one of them.

The rule works so well because journalists who can make a statement of fact, make a statement of fact. When they can't stand the idea up, they use a question mark for cover. eg China is in default on a trillion dollars in debt to US bondholders. Will the US force repayment? .

This is an opinion piece which is asking a philosophical question. The rule does not apply.

And there's a difference between demanding everyone else post how you want them to and going somewhere people are already posting how you want them to.

You have plenty of options. You don't need to clutter this place up with whining. Post the sort of stuff you want to see or go somewhere people are already doing that.

Espresso grind, _{20g beans (}16g if it's for my partner).

Fill the Aeropress to the top with 80C water, stir for ~10 seconds, leave it another ~10 seconds while grabbing the plunger.

Get an excellent core workout pressing it.

We're in the middle of a global fascist spasm. If you want to stick your fingers in your ears and pretend it's not happening, I think Threads is trying to be that place.

Anyone got an archive link? 12ft.io doesn't work on the NYT.

tbf this is not very much different from how many flesh'n'blood journalists have been finding content for years. The legendary crack squirrels of Brixton was nearly two decades ago now (yikes!). Fox was a little late to the party with U.K. Squirrels Are Nuts About Crack in 2015.

Obviously, I want flesh'n'blood writers getting paid for their plagiarism-lite, not the cheapskates who automate it. But this kind of embarrassing error is a feature of the genre. And it has been gamed on social media for some time now (eg Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson forced to deny shooting stones at squirrels after spoof story goes viral)

I don't know what it is about squirrels...
