A lot of people in this thread are falling for the classic weasel headline reporting trick of using the word "after" to imply a connection, when there's zero evidence in the article body to suggest it means anything other than two different events happened a day apart.
Clearly murdering a farmer is also wrong, if there were easy answers then we wouldn’t be where we are now.
But, I think the Judge had it right when she said “find another tomato”, and the scriptwriters allowed the main characters to handwave it away as “no that’s too hard” without being challenged any further on it.
It goes back to OP’s original point; we don’t have to go to total war, we just need enough people to draw a few more lines that they stick to most of the time.
I wish vegans and vegetarians would be a bit more willing to promote this viewpoint. It’s insane how many otherwise normal people will refuse a single meat-free meal for no reason other than identity politics.
That show pissed me off so much. They actually straight up concluded that there is no ethical consumerism under capitalism, and then… just rewrote the universe’s metaphysics so that you get a pass for that, and American consumerism becomes standard religious doctrine
AI seems to really love that extreme high contrast side-lighting on everything. Then the text itself is irregular in a very non-human kind of way, like there's no natural processes that would result in an 'E' like the one in 'BECAUSE'.
Then you've got the person's face, which if it were drawn by an artist of the skill level we'd expect from the rest of the piece, one would imagine they'd do a better job of conveying some sort of personality or emotion.
AI Art is fundamentally antisocial because it's the Art equivalent of the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle; it took less effort for OP to create that than it did to pick apart exactly why it feels so unsatisfying and unsettling in all the wrong ways. Always downvote AI Art.
Heat accelerates decomposition. Cold burns tissues. Water logfing from rain would be a nuisance, at least.
I think most "undead" type zombies handwave that sort of stuff away as part of the powers that animate them in the first place. It's only really an issue for "virus" type zombies.
The irony is most fact-checking sites (including BBC Verify) concluded that the effects of the NOAA cuts on the disaster were minimal, since the data available at the time would have led to the same prediction regardless of whether the recent layoffs had happened or not.
(This isn't a Trump support post, it's a "Grok is even worse than we already thought" post.)
Yeah. The problem with capitalism is that if you're not willing to fuck things up for short-to-medium term benefit before moving onto the next thing, you'll go out of business to someone who is.
The best thing about all these organisations moving away from Microsoft is it incentivizes further development and QA. Or at least I hope all these governments switching to OSS are also funding people to keep a close eye on all the PRs coming in from state-sponsored hackers...
"curtail developer choice" is such a weak argument because you could equally apply it to literally every piece of regulation ever passed. Of course it curtails choice, that's almost the dictionary definition of an industry regulation.
Pretty much, I mean that's why we have judges, to look at all the facts of the case and make a decision on whether this is functionally the same group of people doing the same things as they were under another name. Legal loopholes aren't as easy as some people think.
Sure, we’d all like that, but pretending that piracy is some sort of noble way to bring about a collectivist creators’ paradise is yet more self-serving fantasy.
