I will settle for news that isn’t clumsily trying to provoke an emotional response.

Seems to me it’s just a hyperbolic arms race in a pretty naked attempt to generate clicks at all costs. I am quite content to figure out how the news effects me without breathless editorializing in the title.

Pffft, what? No it isn’t. What a ludicrous thing to say. Telegram may not be some shining paragon of freedom, but it seems pretty obvious that Brazil (like many other nations) is shifting towards naked despotism.

Given that’s basically what YouTube is experimenting with, it seems highly likely.

The majority in fact did not vote for him, because that’s not how electoral colleges work. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/live-update/elections-2020-upda...

Ridiculous. Cops don’t typically storm homes because of stolen vehicles. Cars are stolen All. The. Time. Law enforcement officers know a car’s original owner is not typically the guy going for a joyride.

It is strange, that in the post-modern era there seems to be a desire to prevent harm by curbing freedom of choice. The ability to choose what constitutes right or wrong isn’t even on the table, because you may draw the wrong conclusion. Th

This is not about original creatives refining their work. This is about rights-holding mega corps and moralizing busybodies intent on neutering art.

Why? Why does the bad inherently outweigh the good? I feel like this the philosophy of the mentally ill. My own life has not been perfect but I am glad to have been born and my children would say the same.

Saying you aren’t a trust fund baby therefore you aren’t rich is just plain silly.

… a military occupation in the wake of the most destructive war of the last century, started by both of those occupied countries. I bring that up not to crow about the USA’s bygone righteousness, but to highlight that the people of Japan an

We have increased farming, but the American plains were there once home to vast herds of bison. Basically there’s been 30 million large ungulates there for a very long time.

This is so naive in the extreme. Who decides the ‘societal good?’ Some centralized moralizing force, that will no doubt be in disagreement with large swathes of the rest of the nation. Thinking that FB is some kind of powerful national thre

I mean… if you stick to the areas that mimic the early hominid climate you don’t really need them. Lots of modern tropical tribes wear functionally zero clothing.

Seems like every whistleblower can just be called a false flag op, then. Doesn’t seem like a very substantive criticism, so unless you can show these ties you are talking about.

Yeah, for shame. We can’t have a single article about anything without banging on about climate change.

Dude was publishing every 37 hours. He wasn’t just using it to ‘polish’ his language skills, he was churning out absurdly low grade schlock with the aid of an AI and getting it rubber stamped by the broken journal cartel.

Bending the knee to a brutal ethnic cleansing regime is never a positive, regardless of the size of the entity capitulating.

It’s all paternalistic authoritarianism… but the logic is consistent- if the majority of people think we should police how adults act and think, well, children should absolutely, unconditionally be micromanaged! The poor little fools might

I am fine with banning what is, effectively, a Chinese psyop marketed as a social media app. I don’t really think we should be competing to make the most addictive doomscroller possible. However, I do agree about point 3, wholeheartedly. Th

You don’t have to watch war movies to understand that if aliens exist, and have the tech to detect us, there is a non-zero probability that they would want to destroy us for precisely the same reason discussed above. The Three Body Peoblem

The idea that the powerful would find a way to circumvent or corrupt such a rule is a significant problem; it isn’t a fallacy. Fallacy =/= thing I don’t like.

That is fucking bizarre that bank personnel would even try to argue with you. Why would a bank want their customers to be ripped off by shitty subscriptions?

Impressive work at such a small scale. I used to work with small ribbon cables frequently, but it was usually some scraping and reshaping to fix deformities- nothing as audacious as this grafting!
