If you don't know how to inspect a link before downloading it, that's on you. You asked a question and I answered it by directly citing the source.

Did you post a meme about cow farts contributing to climate change or something?

How is Israel an ally?

Page 218 onward.

Page 33 onward.

Zoning laws are so bizarre. I remember encountering them for the first time many years ago trying to play SimCity and being confounded by what felt by wholly arbitrary game rules. They genuinely accomplish nothing at all, so why have them?

I mean, the goal is geopolitics, not genocide. You're still right, but Biden and Schumer don't genuinely care about Palestine. They genuinely care about Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc, etc, and Israel's status as an ally in the region.

We really don't have any solution to this yet.

We do, and always have, but good luck with implementation. Humanity hates acting like an adult.

1. Critical thinking: society knows to a certainty deepfakes exist and hence should be intrinsically skeptical of any image they see, demanding the image's source establish some reason to trust the image. We could be less blindly trusting.
2. Body acceptance: for 0 seconds of humanity's history has it made credible sense to shame someone over having seen them naked. We could choose not to.
3. Competence: Appeasing these people only encourages them. If people would just understand that giving your blackmailer what they want is always strictly worse than not doing so, it would remove the incentive to blackmail. Why would you trust your blackmailer to keep your secret? Makes no sense.

Shintoism has no fewer than four gods of male-male love, so no. Buddhist monks in Japan were also openly gay, like, all the time, so that's not it, either. Confucianism bans gay marriage; I have no idea how relevant that is, here.

The Meiji era banned sodomy in 1872 in an effort to westernize. That would be my guess.

Yes and no, in that order, I believe.

As expected, though, she (illegally) had a gun in the classroom with her, per the same article. And a second one in her car, which should also be illegal as it was parked on school property, explaining the two charges of carrying a gun onto school property.

Well, naturally. Noncompetes are anti-capitalist and Republicans hate capitalism.

🫡 Thanks for the source.

I wonder why the prosecution didn't use a peremptory dismissal on that juror.

Australia is acting very American when it claims jurisdiction over the entire internet.

This sort of problem-solving acumen is how HIV became so widespread in Africa. Have you considered instead trying competence?

This beggars belief. Why lure the civilians out before killing them, when you can just kill them in their camp without doing so? What could possibly be the point?

What?

What do you mean, "should"?

Legal guardians do handle consent for their wards, which is why circumcisions are legal - there's no meaningful legal distinction here between a face tattoo and a circumcision.

That's how things are. If you're asking me how things ought to be, that's an absurd question to ask someone on the internet.

I don't understand your question. Children can't consent, so when they would need to consent to something, their guardians are asked to consent for them. That's how e.g. all medical surgeries are performed on children.

I don't think you know what "alleged" means.

Quoting your quote, now with emphasis:

a URL that appears to be "netflix.com" will actually redirect to "netflitwitter.com" when clicked

So, as I said, the link text you see appears unchanged, but where it goes is changed. That's why it's a phishing concern.

You could read the article, it explains it.

You have it exactly backwards. They only changed where the links went, not how they were displayed. That's why it's such a phishing concern.
