I still don’t understand why making my own bowl of rice (being used/eaten by a very much alive person) look like a funeral bowl of rice is a weird or bad thing. So much of this stuff just seems like a social license to shame people.

What did it do to mess up your brain? What were the lasting negative effects?

Keto diet doesn’t exist in western cuisine either. It’s a niche thing in both places, and both places have specific single dishes without carbs.

Yes, it’s weirdly ambiguous. But even that is performative, as you’re still using an unsanitary part - the part that has touched your hand vs the part that has touched your lips.

Yes and furthermore what percentage of those who can scrape Strava can actually take action based on the information so obtained? Probably close to 0% would be my guess.

COTS smartphones should be banned in all schools and military forces/buildings, for a million different reasons. Probably hospitals (for staff) too.

The e2ee you can “enable” is a homemade custom cipher and cryptosystem. There are no open source implementations. I have no evidence that Telegram is an FSB honeypot. What I do know is that if the FSB had a honeypot chat platform, it woul

Used Graphene as a daily driver for a year. It’s an unserious toy.

“walk” refers to criminal prosecution where the alternative is going to prison. This was a civil trial, he was not being prosecuted. The police, despite raiding his house, never charged him with a crime. He was not “found innocent” in a c

That’s just an example. Germany’s censorship (a violation of human rights to peaceful free expression) doesn’t just stop at political parties. The fact that they are even discussing a ban of AfD shows how ridiculously dangerous such powe

The convenient thing about using Claude via Telegram is that you can provide all of your private and proprietary information to US intelligence and Russian intelligence at the same time. (Telegram is not end to end encrypted.)

The idea that full grown identical twins are identical humans for purposes of analysis is also fundamentally flawed. Just because they share DNA and look the same doesn’t mean anything about their relative health, fitness, metabolic rates,

Justice didn’t prevail. Afroman had to spend THOUSANDS defending himself in this bullshit civil lawsuit, and his countersuit got thrown out because police have qualified immunity. This is after they raided his house, bashed in his door, bro

This is not remotely true. Furthermore, the way people don’t get away with stuff like this is via extralegal/extrajudicial harassment, abuse, violence, and sometimes assassination (see also: MLK, Huey, Leqaa Kordia, Mahmoud Khalil,

This wasn’t a 1A case, it was a civil defamation suit. He won because they failed to prove defamation, NOT because the judge threw out the lawsuit because of a violation of constitutional rights. Separately: saying something shitty or unpo

AIUI they sued him in their personal capacities, not as the police department. Any taxpayer funded lawyer to defend the PD from such a thing would presumably not be authorized to work a civil suit for a person who happened to be employed b

This is the framework for requiring government ID to use online services, which increasingly power even local computing (thanks to DRM and cloud services). They want to abolish anonymous use of internet services, because anonymous publishin

No, they didn’t create it. They created the circumstances where it causes certain types of purchasing and consumption behaviors. The lack of self control was always there, just waiting for those circumstances to bring out the effects of t

It has nothing to do with porn and everything to do with making anonymous use of the internet (and thus anonymous mass publishing) illegal and impossible.

Age verification is a non-problem. These solutions don’t solve anything.

Completely true, but also completely irrelevant to the claim at hand: that sex work specifically is exploiting the sex workers. The general claim that capitalistic societies exploit workers has famously been made many times before.

This is probably like a browser extension and 45 minutes of vibe coding. I threw together a minimal MetaMask clone in a day, a simple page translator can’t even be a fraction of that. I actually love this idea so I might do it myself.

Doctors are only part of the problem. Nurses and all of the other skilled positions also all suck up huge amounts of money because there are shortages of all of them. It was bad even before COVID, it’s even worse now. There are tons of reg

If everyone could control their weight via simply willing themselves to have more self-control, then nobody would be fat. Self-control is, ironically, not usually within one’s self control. Most people don’t contemplate very deeply about th

Why would those who benefit from this crime ever outlaw it for themselves and their buddies? It makes no sense at all. Laws are only ever passed for a reason.

Selective enforcement of widely broken laws is one of the primary sources of control in an autocracy.

Spotify is filled with payola, and their claims about it are intentionally extremely misleading while not explicitly fraudulent. It shows up in all Spotify-generated playlists, so I refuse to listen to them. I assume their shitty AI recom

“pennies an hour” sidesteps the fact that $2-3/hr is a fairly decent wage in the Philippines. The average hourly wage is $2.11 and the minimum wage is $1.36 per hour. It is likely easier work and better pay than being a waitress. Volu
