Dunno, if the alternative is actively destructive behaviour, it might be good for society for people to find meaning in pets. It's also good for those individuals and animals in question as well. I'm not sure we're missing ou

Animals now play a role that angels and similar religious concepts played in the past - an abstract ideal representing what is Good. It's difficult for a human to win this battle. No dog ever operated a sweatshop, dumped mercury into a

This was the topic of a recent episode of "Decoder Ring", a wonderful podcast that explores cultural mysteries: https://slate.com/podcasts/decoder-ring/2025/02/on-the-lates...

Wouldn't all this hold true for AI videos as well, it's just that you'll be going through hundreds of prompts and bad generations before you get to something approaching your vision? N.B. If directing people is the distingu

I saw someone on the Internet describe it as serving McDonald's at a wedding. I'm not sure snark is warranted, but I don't think it's unfair to say that USA's global image has been greatly reduced.

I believe the question implied "in living memory". Popes notoriously don't directly speak up even against atrocities such as genocides, let alone act on it (with levers that are most certainly in their control, such as exco

Can't comment on the USA, but I'm seeing a fair number of them in Canada and (somewhat less commonly) in Croatia.

I would say athleisure is a recent development. 10 years ago you'd see far fewer women wearing tight leggings outside the gym. Heck, even in gyms you'd be hard pressed to see the kind of tank tops and sport bras you regularly see

Sounds like a version of the tragedy of the commons. Or maybe even the prisoner's dilemma, as in every individual chasing their narrow self-interest and making the matter worse for everyone instead of collaborating and making it better

What does "taking responsibility for their actions" mean in this context?

The big ones that leapt to my mind were the Great Irish famine the duration of which food exports to Great Britain were higher than food imports, Bengal famine (the Brits again), and starvation of Native Americans through targeted eradicati
