What evidence do you have that oligarchs in any nation cannot influence your TikTok algorithm? Like... we should assume they can by default until proven innocent.
Women from Tennessee can be some of the most beautiful I've ever seen what are you even saying 😂 do you look at the people walking around you ever? A lot of people aren't ugly
There are very few places I've been, so few I'm only relying on statistical probability because I actually can't remember any, where women were not ever beautiful.
Then again I'm from Kentucky and we apparently don't wear shoes, right? You would know
Fair point. If you are in immediate danger then yeah, not gonna argue. But if you are able to stay and do something, that should be preferable.
I am brown (Filipino). I won't be leaving. My sister lives here. My nephew. They can go somewhere safe, but there aren't many places safe from a hot, land war in this world like the US observably is. Mayyybe Canada, but enjoy that economy.
And go where? Where in the world is safe right now? I thought about living in the Philippines with my family, but China is probably waging war soon. Europe? With the way America is headed and the war is going? Let's assume Ukraine wins: Europe is out of gas and will militarize and right wing governments are rising with German nationalism leading the battle drums, Ukraine gonna be in an economic slump, Russia is gonna be subservient and dependent on China because its economy is gone without a win.
That leaves countries with metropolises that are suffering from westerners gentrifying their neighborhoods with the USD being strong in these places. We are really going to make the poor in other nations pay the price for our government's doing again, but this time by our own choice? That's not any better imo. Unless you are leaving with the specific intent on making the place you are going better, stay home please
A 20 dollar per device settlement for selling your data for billions. And the lawyers get paid big. Who the fuck is working for the working class? The law? Defense attorneys? Leaders?
I still don't know algorithms by heart and been a software dev for 11 years lol
Why waste my brain storage on things I can just look up or read in one of my books when I could be remembering higher level concepts that are hard to research and understand without experience?
I love the arrow in functional programming. Some functional languages (like reasonml) has multiple arrow operators that did different things like this one -> would put the argument in the first position (a popular JS pattern) and the big arrow |> would put it last like most functional languages.
I know this is about CPP but honestly I love the way it looks, but I'm a weirdo lol
No, I am sure in a case by case basis you are right and that seems like an exception to the rule though. I think the spirit of the topic is that we should just use pronouns on this instance even more common neopronouns like xir. My personal opinion is I think "they" is probably a fine blanket term for all gender neutrality, but that will likely "other" them into the bucket of "they"... so I can see how this is a tricky situation.
To call this a leftist thing is interesting though. We are discussing humans, not politics. I didn't bring it up. My acceptance of all people other than me drives me to leftism, not the other way around.
Honestly, a general rule of thumb"act in good faith" is probably enough. Not hard to enforce and usually a small enough offense is enough to deter most.
What's the worst thing that will happen if an obviously moronic masculine-presenting person says "hurr durr my pronouns are balls/sack" and you do what they ask and use those pronouns? Will they play along? Will they be offended? What's a desirable outcome? What's an undesirable outcome?
copyright and all of intellectual property was meant to "promote the progress of science and useful arts"---it has since eroded it and held it up for ownership by capitalists
public domain was originally 14 years after publication. 14 years ago was 2010---imagine if everything before 2010 was in the public domain. All video games. All movies. All books, songs, etc. How much of our culture could be preserved? Compare that to now. How much of what you imagined is owned by a corporation? Managed by shareholders? Has the commons been fostered, or has it been divided into fiefdoms?
we also should be supporting open source games---if it's open source, it's preservable! these people are already essentially giving up any revenue just to make something for someone else, we should be lifting them up, too!
