If there is anything in French I am confident of without consulting a dictionary is that the male genial will come with a male definite article.

While I don't like that particular art form and choose not to look at it whenever possible, I'd say yes. A lot of art tries to get you to think, feel or do something and I don't see how this is fundamentally different, even though it seems a little sick at first. From the perspective of, say, the graphic designer for the ad campaign, it might very well be art.

After a first attempt, I must admit you are right. They also really don't look the same from person to person.

I find that it makes most sense to me to answer "is this and that art"-questions with a yes by default. Is it made by a human with the intent to convey a message? Art. Any other approach always seems to end in questions of taste.

Fuck Google.

You can file an issue at WebCompat. If they can reproduce it, they will contact the website.

Plus I'd like to add that while it is the developer's fault to only test in chrome, they have deliberately not respected established standards and used their market share to enforce the use of new standards that aren't compatible with other engines.

An example: If I understand correctly, Edge used to be non-chromium based, but was more or less forced into it by deliberate design choices that would, for example, result in youtube contents only being displayed correctly in chrome. People would blame their browser and swap. That is how you abuse the power your have from having the biggest marketshare to increase your marketshare.

Petition to normalize painting vulvas on walls by learning to draw a vulva and putting it on walls.

Unfortunately, defending (or even creating) diversity and inclusion requires the courage to speak up against bullies. I'm not sure we are encouraging our kids ourselves to do that enough.

Fair point. Nuclear plants are fairly safe and historically have a low death toll, I agree. Leaves the radioactive waste to deal with.

I'm a little worried now.

I do not behave the way I was two years ago, nor do other people, both in private and in public (Where I live, seeing someone wear a facemask has become the exception. Big concerts have been taken place for a while, etc.). Because of that (together with the subject not coming up a lot in news and conversation anymore, masks and rapid tests going on sale, ... ), I had come to the conclusion that the situation had generally relaxed. Am I wrong? At the beginning of this, I was anxious another major outbreak would be imminent, but nothing horrible seemed to happen, so I sort of lowered my guard. (Took a test when I had a sore throat or before meeting certain people, sometimes wore a mask when on particularly crowded trains, but otherwise started to live more or less like 'before'.) Is Covid still a big deal and I sort of missed it?

Is it though? I was under the impression that, while still not harmless, the mutations we have been dealing with for the last couple of months lead to generally milder symptoms and do not put a comparable strain on health care etc. I do understand that this doesn't fix anything for especially endangered people.

Didn't know that, but you are right, nobody actually died directly from radiation related causes at Fukushima. However, deaths from circumstances relating to the evacuation of the area are estimated to be in the thousands (source: wikipedia). I find that that somewhat illustrates the extent to which human lives have been impacted. While a plane crash is a personal tragedy for a number of people and relatives, a nuclear accident feels more like a collective catastrophe.

This would have been my intuitive take as well, but I do see how it's not exactly best practice.

Plumber also thinks every cat is his best friend.

It does feel a little symbolic that we have reached Z just as we are reaching climate tipping points.

I do mind now. I'm quite bummed out about missing all the fun of the 20th century. And never getting to breathe truly clean air. Or having the athlete body of a gatherer. Messing around in trees with feet that can actually grip something.

Sometimes AI images help me see more clearly what is wrong with our societies. Because, really? That image is connected to this word? I can feel how, but that's f*cked up.

Since learning about this, I have decided to keep the game installed on my phone in case something wild happens (I'm thinking after witnessing an accident or something). It is sort of comforting to have a scientifically backed up mental strategy that is easily accessible, even if it's not a lot. I gather that tetris keeps the part of your brain responsible for looping images occupied with, well, tetris.
