It’s really sinister to bully a group aggressively and then point when their mental health falters to justify the bullying.

It was intentional. WCK coordinated with the IDF on the route plan.

Not surprised the state responsible for Mitch McConnell is really good at voting counter to its best interests.

Probably by design, to be honest. Jobs tend to be very anti-parent, especially in US states where FMLA is legally protected.

I’m fortunate to work for a company that has a culture of prioritizing real life so you can do your best work. Sadly, that’s antithetical to next quarter thinking, so it’s not the norm.

The dumb thing is (in my experience) parents seem to work harder and stay at companies for longer than childless folks. They’re just shorter on free time and need some basic flexibility to address emergent issues. Not to mention being better at teaching and managing in general.

Really hope there will be follow-up call to action and education on civic engagement and organizing. But not counting on it.

Don’t get sequenced and encourage your relatives to avoid as well. It’s not worth risking your genome getting leaked.

You can set a prompt on Poe with GPT-4 that allows for lewd RP. Will still occasionally throw “I’m sorry, I can’t”s but you just gotta remind it to follow the prompt and stay in character after deleting the message.

I’m not posting the copy pasta for it. Easy enough to find.

Worth $20 dollars on a Privacy card to try out, IMHO.

How is existing as a transgender person pornographic or obscene? Is it not well-known that trans people are generally more private about their bodies and sex lives than the general population?

There isn’t even a cogent reason provided for what problem is being caused by trans folks. Presumably it’s the threat to the patriarchy gender variance poses, but idk why they don’t say that part out loud.

Ah yes, the classic “paying nothing to sustain and support a service, then declaring it hopeless because ‘the poors fucked it up’.”

Not sure things would look much different if Twitter was intentionally destroyed.

Windows 11 is adware and spyware wrapped in a thin OS veneer. I will never upgrade, end of support or no.

He’s also a class traitor. Should know better than fucking over workers from actual life experience in the working class. Still doesn’t give a shit.

Oh I’m sure you would have warm, fuzzy feelings if your government decimated your city and you had no agency to leave. Lack of clean water, food, and medical aid amidst ongoing death and destruction would only endear them to you further, but of course!

Alt-J just cinches it for me 🎶🥰🎶

This thread really showcases white fragility.

This link is just scam popups for me. Seems like spam.

It’s worth mentioning that for folks who VR socially, the proliferation of the Meta hardware is a privacy concern regardless of whether one personally uses the device. There’s a fucking reason Meta subsidizes the damn things.

Three times a month for a long term relationship seems really low to me. Over a decade married and ~3-5x a week.

Most of the games of my childhood - they exclusively came from the <$5 bin 🙃 at least we had a PlayStation 2 but Crazy Frog Racer 2, Frogger: The Great Quest, Zathura, Animal Soccer World, and Street Vert Dirt are noteworthy “highlights”.

That’s a good question ;)

Doubt you’d be saying this if you had ever personally been subjected to workplace harassment of the same endurance and severity.

You’re mixing up chicken and egg here. Victim blaming is a core component of the fucking nightmare of workplace harassment.

This isn’t a wealth tax, it’s a tweak to income tax.

The rich don’t gain wealth through income.

Capital gains should be taxed at least as hard as income.

I hate that the QC/longevity of Logitech’s mx ergo trackballs are so horseshit. Very comfortable and nice when it works, but I’ve had four die (each in a different way) in under 6 months of use.

I really wish workers had enough organizing power to yeet these duplicitous assholes. Why can’t we have candidates who actually fucking care about bettering our circumstances?

This is a good question! Not sure which precise units they had and in what quantity, but given the size of the Titan (no way they can support liquid regenerative system with their size and energy reserve constraints), they would have had canister containing solid CO₂ adsorbent with a fan (example).

Without the fan, it’s not going to be very effective since CO2 has to actually pass over the solid. Passive diffusion is not going to move the same volume of CO2 over the solid even if the solid was removed from the housing. Even if they didn’t run out of battery, The solid has a maximum capacity - about 7.5 kg for the unit linked above. Even with reserve capacity, an average human exhales ~0.97 kg of CO₂ per day.

O₂ to CO₂ exchange via respiration is mole for mole (you do lose a little mass in carbon and water just by breathing!). Atmospheric CO₂ is 0.041% (410 ppm) and O₂ is a hair under 21% and that’s the standard to which life support systems are held. Humans lose consciousness at around 3.7% oxygen, but experience hypercapnia at >6% CO₂. (Physiology nerds - I converted from the partial pressures in mmHg to % of 1 atm for comprehension)

So in this hypothetical scenario, hypercapnia would definitely precede loss of consciousness due to anoxia.

I appreciate your voice and the importance of the sentiment that all humans deserve fundamental dignity and respect.

That said, “all billionaires are malfeasant parasites who don’t deserve to participate in society” is a hill upon which I’m willing to die.

It takes a special kind of sociopathy to pillage and hoard resources unfathomable when people are starving, suffering, and dying.

“Eat the rich” is more stirring and concise than “humanely strip the heinously wealthy of their power and resources”.

Eh. Billionaires are each directly responsible for meteoric contributions to human suffering and loss of life. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to dismiss the humanity of folks who actively devalue the humanity of the vast majority of humans. Eat the rich.

Not actually correct in this case. Hypoxia is only painless if oxygen is displaced with an inert gas like nitrogen. Our bodies detect low oxygen indirectly via chemoreceptors that detect the increase in blood acidity (respiratory acidosis) induced by high carbon dioxide (hypercapnia).

As humans breathe in a sealed environment, oxygen is replaced with CO₂. Hypercapnia is what causes the panic and pain of drowning prior to inhalation of water. Consciousness is lost mere seconds after water inhalation.

Drowning and hypercapnic asphyxiation are essentially the same experience in terms of suffering.

Secondary outcomes and resuscitation are a different story, but are obviously not applicable here.

Living within the bounds of common “social acceptability” is stifling and dull, in my personal experience. Being kind and considerate is important, but why waste precious time trying to suppress or conceal harmless parts of oneself?

I’d rather select for settings where I can be embraced as my authentic self. I was forced to live with someone who was harshly judgmental and crapped on facets of me daily when I was growing up. I’d NEVER willingly subject myself to that again.

Hmmmm…wonder whose fault it is that many municipalities won’t approve new line construction by upstart ISPs 🤔

It couldn’t have anything to do with lobbying by monopolistic ISPs.

Here’s the link to the “source”. Hard to assess the quality of the data and conclusions on the other side of a paywall :/

Well at least “mutant” carries the recognition that it’s not a matter of choice. If the tiny trans population is solely responsible for the indictment, then surely that means we’re superior mutants at that 😏

It takes a special flavor of insecurity to simp the Musk.
