There’s a million valid reasons to criticize Israel without any antisemitism… but if you make a generic “jews bad” comment and specifically mention a time period that goes before ww2 it gets pretty sus
TLDR: privacy law won’t pass because it would limit the government’s right to buy “commercially available data” on anyone without a warrant
This includes location data collected from cell phones that are capable in many cases of tracking people’s physical whereabouts almost constantly. The data is purportedly gathered for advertising purposes…
A government that actually cares about privacy wouldn’t be debating ‘should we be able to buy that data’, it would be asking the real question ‘why the fuck is it legal to collect and sell that data?’
Even if we pretend that data will only ever be used for ads, it’s still not fucking OK for advertisers to stalk everyone everywhere 24/7 (and every use other than ad stuff is probably worse)
The announcement that ICF had reached the break-even point in 2022 provided hope that fusion power was drawing closer, and this will be bolstered by news that further progress has been made. But there are caveats. Firstly, the energy output falls far short of what would be needed for a commercial reactor, barely creating enough to heat a bath. Worse than that, the ratio is calculated using the lasers’ output, but to create that 2.1 megajoules of energy, the lasers draw 500 trillion watts, which is more power than the output of the entire US national grid. So these experiments break even in a very narrow sense of the term.
The movies did a great job at presenting thanos as an extremist that sincerely wants the greater good by questionable means, but it falls apart because his grand plan is just so stupid. The only way to reconcile the sympathetic character with the dumb plan is to point out he’s “THANOS THE MAD TITAN”, not “THANOS THE TITAN THAT FULLY CONSIDERS THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS”
Would have been much better if they just kept his original motivation from the comics: Death is a hot lady and horny thanos does the snap as a gift to her
That’s assuming you’ll meet literally every person on earth
Let’s say you will have a meaningful interaction with 1000 people ever, 1% of that leaves you with 10
If you’re not bi make it 5 before you even start considering wether you also find those people attractive back, if they’re single and in the right age range
So get that confidence back down. Statistics are a bitch
They can also make artificial diamonds that are good enough for jewelry, the perception that lab made diamond is different/worse than diamonds pulled from the ground is just propaganda to keep the artificial scarcity
It’s a huge luxury to be able to make money off something you love, even more to just be able to do what you love without worrying about money.
Meta has no interest in being part of the fediverse, it only wants to eliminate any posible competition.
The usual MO of buying the competitors isn’t posible on the fediverse, so the way to do it is embrace, extend and extinguish
Defederating is important because is Metastasis is allowed in the fediverse it will consume the fediverse, and then we’ll be right back at the corporate social media we’re trying to break away from, with the surveillance, ads and nazis being welcome as long as it’s profitable
Did anyone here read the article?
He’s not saying “those lazy peasants should know their only purpose is to make me richer and be happy about it”, he’s saying “obviously nobody will be motivated by making some rich jerks richer while getting paid peanuts”.
Unfortunately in the second half he goes into out of touch CEO mode, but the quote on the ragebait title is actually very reasonable
That’s the point of step 2: inspect ass
If you find or smell poopoo obviously don’t proceed to brlbrlelebrbrbr (or do if you’re into that shit who the fuck am I to judge)
Mind elaborating a little more? Why do you think limiting violent abusers’ access to murder toys is bad?
Only OK if you also jerk off onto the pizza
Cops can’t stop you because you were on your way to a bank, just because they feel you might want to rob it.
LOL Sure, in theory they can’t, but in reality cops do stop people for any made up reason and they can also shoot you for any made up reason without consequence.
And “pro-life” people will support every cop that kills a pregnant woman on that highway.
Same thing with big accidents, the one survivor thanks god for a miraculous rescue but nobody acknowledges the implied “god watched the other 50 people on that bus die brutally and didn’t care”
Everytime I try to google anything that might be remotely related to a product every result will be a store.
I’d never have assumed that they just replaced my query but in hindsight it’s kinda obvious
With the way every site is these days, removing adblock is worse than not functioning
The US government being useless against megacorps is not a bug, it’s a feature
And it’s driving our world
economyinto the ground.
