It won't work, because if nudity doesn't get the rise those bully crave, they will go toward depicting sexual acts. And you don't want to devalue that, girls have enough trouble reporting SA as it is.

It is though, the first person who used the 'mowing the grass' euphemism clearly talked about killing kids and preventing Palestinian women to have access to reproductive care (and the fact that it is almost impossible to report a

'trim the grass'. The person who invented this euphemism should have the Nobel price for war or a similar prize. Such bad morals.

It's worse than that, they used to be a police branch, they now basically replaced the army as well. In a way, that makes the Iranian regime way less resilient in the long term though.

Houthis are not an Iranian proxy, they have autonomous strategic decisions. They are/were funded by Iran to be a pain for the Saudi. The Saoudi published articles about it. People there know more about the local situation than western

Do people read this unironically? I am at the beginning and already is factually wrong. European population continuously grew from the 7th to the 14th century. And the rest seems to have been written by a 19th century 'historian'

That's not how it used to work. That's still not how it works in my country. I buy my bread from a specialized shop, my cheese from another, and my fresh produce from yet another. I know people who only buy their meat from a butch

Store are low margin businesses, unless they own the walls. In this case, what often happens is that when he retires, the owner keeps the walls but sells the business. The walls are put in an asset portfolio, while the poor bastard who boug

I hate that. I understand that it might be useful, and tbh, on personnal PC, i'm not even concerned. But it is going towards people pushing to replace XQL or other query languages with prompting in natural languages, for no good reason

But even spec-first, using opus4.6 with plan, the output is merely good, and not great. It isn't bad though, and the fixes are often minors, but you _have_ to read the output to keep the quality decent. Notably, I found that LLM dislik

Yes, he basically have the same views, except on Russia. One advantage though is that Orban put his people at the head of Hungary corporations, so maybe that will end and the corruption will be kept at "normal" levels.

Yeah, that's exactly what people against this war say, I don't know why your straw man them. Iran regime killed 7k people over a month and a half, and imprisoned 30k. Iran is almost at US level when we count population percentage

Rock climbing is pretty weird. At the top level, it is clear male athletes have most advantages: height, and shoulder strength, that make routes designed for male very hard to compete on for most female athlete. On the other hand, routes se

I mean, the mongols were probably the most successful military, taking on armies five times their size with better metalworks. They used women as fighters. Japanese Bushi ('samurai' class) also had women in their ranks, and Celtic

Good luck, worked on that a few weeks ago actually. Once you get it working though, you can just forget it (that's what i did). For twitter and EFF, it's a work account, so probably 2FA with a timeout. You have to connect to it, p

Do you have the API access on twitter back? because if not, it's not like any other. it's more bothersome to power users. I thought people on HN of all places would understand that.

I've coded a 3rd party tool that could post to mastodon/twitter at the same time around 2020 (plenty of idle time during covid). I lost twitter API access, never bothered to try to make it work again (i hate working with interface

I can shittalk the f35 for almost an hour, but this not a plane issue. Stealth was always against BVR missiles (fox-1 engagement, or any S-400 or other using SARH/ARH), and never against IR missiles (UV missiles now?) or bullets. Yes,

I don't think this count as open sea. The rule is 12 miles from the coast (12 nautical miles btw, i don't know what it is in freedom units). i'm pretty sure the strait is narrower than that at the place where the toll is paid

Their now dead leader wrote a fatwa against nuclear bombs (as well as chemical bombs). Probably because Saddam using US chemical bombs on more than 50000 civilians a few decades ago did radicalize him against WMD.

Maybe, but you would have to hit them from Turkey, it is the limit of the f35 range from anywhere else. And bombing ships with b52 is expensive and dumb. > The problem, I think, is that these radical governments will refuse to abdicate e

I think some people think that high velocity is deflationary. So if suddenly dollars are not traded as much, it slow down the dollar velocity and this has a global inflationnary effect. This isn't a bad theory tbh, i believe at least h
