I don’t get the take about “CaPitALism”. If your employer did what you say then they did so in spite of the system of capitalism, not thanks to it. A good employer will set their sights long-term, aiming to keep their employees happy in order to build a stable future, but that’s not what the system rewards, the system rewards short-term profits.

Also, the last story kind of reminds me of “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”-rhetoric (the term also drives me insane because it’s literally against the laws of physics). Are there people who work hard, take steps to advance their careers and achieve success because of their efforts? Absolutely! Are there also other people who try just as hard and don’t achieve the same successes, either due to other struggles or just due to random chance? Most definitely.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Beautiful.

That’s just ridiculous, they wouldn’t price it the same.

They’d price it at 99% of the cost of a human’s salary so that they can convince their customers that they’re saving money by firing their workers, then pocket the difference!

You’re not missing out, in my opinion it was not a good movie in any sense.

Add to that, that to the best of my knowledge, most child rapists are not pedophiles and most pedophiles are not child rapists.

The two being convoluted helps child rapists by letting them hide behind their sexual orientation (“he can’t be a child predator, he has a wife and kids!”) and hurts pedophiles by stigmatizing their condition so that they have a harder time getting help to control or remove their sexual urges.

If we really want to reduce the amount suffering for both adults and, most importantly, children then we have to be able to start having actual conversations about this.

It doesn’t have to be true, it just has to convince his base and that’s a low bar.

Well, that could make the popup unusable depending on screen size. I think the wording is pretty clear, the issue is just that there’s no followup and not clear enough incentives to avoid skirting the rules at the moment.

Not “make it easy”, it’s “make it as easy”, meaning it can’t be easier to accept than to revoke, much clearer bar.

That’s already part of the GDPR, companies just aren’t complying with it.

From the official GDPR site:

To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must:

• Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.
• Provide accurate and specific information about the data each cookie tracks and its purpose in plain language before consent is received.
• Document and store consent received from users.
• Allow users to access your service even if they refuse to allow the use of certain cookies
• Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

…isn’t that technically rape?

Combined with their last two sentences

although it has to do with so many factors that are helping them intentionally.(example they made up majority labs in universities, preferred over men in probably hire situations as part of thier “demographic” goals.

Their comment reads a bit like “how do you do fellow kids non-misogynists”

First person to win two Nobel prizes and the only person to win the Nobel prize in two different scientific fields.

So basically that’s why it will never be 100% correct all the time, because all of the output is just more or less correct hallucination.

This is completely correct, it does the exact same thing when it works as people expect as it does when it’s “hallucinating”.

I stand corrected. But still, that would include 100% of democrats and independents voting in unison, which seems unlikely (think Sinema, Fetterman, Manchin).

The democrats (including the independents who caucused with them) had a 58% vote share in the senate and 58.8% in the house of representatives in the 111th congress. A supermajority requires two thirds, i.e. 67%.

That isn’t true, and even if that had been true, Obama left office 9 years ago, how is it even remotely relevant?

Let me just start by saying that the overwhelming majority of victims from Israel’s genocidal warfare are innocent civilians, many of which are children.

However, the other side of belligerents in this conflict is Hamas, who are unequivocally terrorists. Yes, Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people has pushed a lot of people towards Hamas, and yes, Israel has made sure that Hamas has received ample funding and support as a way to weaken the Palestinian Authority, but that doesn’t make Hamas less bad.

Hamas hasn’t just terrorized, kidnapped, raped, and murdered Israeli civilians, they have waged a campaign of oppression and terror against the Palestinian people in order to remain in power. They are a symptom of the national, regional, and geopolitical situation that exists in that region, but they are horrible nonetheless.

That’s an odd way to troll but you do you, I guess.

I can add that in my experience, switching to Linux tends to have a positive impact on performance and keep the laptop usable for longer, I highly recommend you try it with your current laptop.

Well, typically you should at least initially address the actual owner of the vehicle.
