What things are both the best and the worst at the same time?

  • Eating. It's such a drama story tbh

    • UAE calls emergency UN security council meeting to seek pause to Gaza fighting

  • Hypocrisy.

  • Same UAE that's a major gun supplier in Africa? Some of these critical nations are weirdly hypocritical. There are plenty of children in the Horn of Africa and Yemen that want their lives back.

    • what fact about our current world would freak people out if it were a newspaper headline a century ago?

    Jump

  • OpenAI accepts files/documents now.

    • Hamas blocks foreign nationals from leaving Gaza

    Jump

  • Is the Telegraph a good source for info on this?

    • Water rule

    Jump

  • Resolution from the 90s!

    • If this ActivityPub-fueled change takes off, it will break every social network into a thousand pieces

    Jump
    • It's in author's words.
    • It's not far down in the article.
    • I just assumed it was relevant to this audience.
    • That's not heavy editorialising to me.
    • It is quoting the article, and I freely admit that.

    • when were you superficial/shallow?

    Jump

  • It took me a couple of years and bundles of money to quit. I'm not judging. I'm hating the game.

    • when were you superficial/shallow?

    Jump

  • If anyone starts smoking or vaping I'm probably done.

    • If this ActivityPub-fueled change takes off, it will break every social network into a thousand pieces

    Jump

  • Fire up the Linux POSSE and it happens all at once!

    • Is "to put something" grammatically correct?

    Jump

  • Add is just an operator. I'm not sure what the limits are to operators, but most English native speakers don't overthink it. (Or, they get overly concerned with their specific operator - which is no standard at all).

    If they started with put, then it makes sense for put to follow.

    • Is "to put something" grammatically correct?

    Jump

  • It's widely used, so I wouldn't draw some connotation from it.

    Instructions can feature a fair amount of ellipsis: Put ham. Put cheese. Put bread.

    Everybody knows it's ellipsis, and they'll be a little put out if you expect full sentences instead of rapid fire and terse instructions.

    • Are there any people who hates music?

    Jump

  • No, it's very much a grown man with an awful disposition. (It's probably more of an undiagnosed condition.)

    • Why does China claim almost the entire South China Sea?

    Jump

  • Why does Microsoft buy up patents and pull monopolisation tricks?!

    Nah, China and Russia lost respect for the US when they elected Donald Trump. Imagine having to treat that baboon like a peer. International hostilities is the obvious outcome.

    • Are there any people who hates music?

    Jump

  • He just switches channel and screams about what he wants to watch not being on.

    • Are there any people who hates music?

    Jump

  • I live with a guy that seems to hate music. Haven't actually asked him about it because he just yells at the TV or radio if they have music on.

    • See how Israel’s siege has plunged Gaza into darkness and isolation

    Jump

  • Thanks for that! I hadn't realised, and was wondering why people share those types of links.

    • The Ukraine and Israeli/Palestine Conflicts Show the Demise of Western Imperialism and Foreshadow Its Coming Collapse

    Jump

  • Sounds a lot like that claptrap about brown people uniting to take over the world before 9/11. Afterwards the entire world helped in hunting down the groups that had taken it to a level of terrorism.

    These world domination plans rarely pan out.

    • Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’

    Jump

  • He's a grifter. All he needs is a routine bet from a billion people and he potentially pays back on loans. He thought it might be possible with subscription, but he's considering a way to emulate previous cryptocurrency manipulation now.

  • Paywalled for me.
