I don’t read my replies
The national suicide prevention hotline is almost always too busy and callers often need to wait on hold. They’ve calibrated everything from the hold music, the script, and the recorded voice to keep callers on the line.
This factoid splits people pretty evenly between those who find it horrifying and those who find it hilarious.
I should say that according to the hotline, the changes made to the hold system has resulted in 100,000 fewer hang-ups per year.
Just wanna drop in to say that the people responsible for keeping the planes the planes from getting romantic on the ground are the same people who chaperone them in the air.
No, it’s stop innovating, build a monopoly, never change. The automotive industry (in Germany and the US) is just blue collar wall st. : too big to fail.
Stop talking “free markets” when the competition is taxed at 40%
This is silly. Do you really think censoring shooter’s names is going to do jack shit? Name the parkland shooter, or the Walmart shooter in Texas. I bet you can’t. I know the average American can’t.
This is an attractive idea because it gives us agency to punish these people somehow. We see them get wall-to-wall media coverage and incorrectly assume that’s the motivation because it’s hard to imagine shooting kids for any reason and the media coverage is the most available effect to us.
If that’s not convincing, then just know that Tucker Carlson agrees with you.
You know, it’s perfectly OK to group voters by identity, so long as that identity cannot exclude “Normal” people. Soccer Mom, Six pack Dad, Middle class, working poor, labor, Small Business owner, Rural, Urban, and Suburban are all perfectly fine to promise these groups political power. But you do the exact same thing for queer people or black people and that’s identity politics all of a sudden.
Have you tried blowing on it?
Your argument is hypothetical. Real world AI was trained on images of abused childen.
When Biden dropped out, I pointed out that Harris should insist on hot mics and people game me a lot of grief. I don’t wanna hear Trump either, but I want voters to hear him.
It’s ironic to use public ignorance as a reason to keep information from them.
China wants to subsidize the transition to EVs in N America. N. America would rather tax their own citizens and risk inflation to protect the profits of capitalists.
And don’t fucking dare tell me this is about jobs. Because if we were on better terms with China, the capitalists would move the factory there.
The police department has tried to increase its diversity over the past decade…
A black pig just plead guilty to beating Tyre Nichols to death. Diversity in the force is not the solution to police brutality. It’s the system, not the actors…ACAB.
Even Shin Bet calls these people terrorists.
Bookstores in Iraq will never be the same.
Why is duplicate files a problem?
I agree with Dr. Antonakakis that endpoint AV is more trouble than it’s worth. I haven’t had AV on my computer since I was running WinXP. (I let Windows Defender run, though it has an annoying bug where 7zip executables are flagged)
My strategy is only valid because I’m the only user of my machine. I’d certainly install that stuff on any computer that I shared with someone else.
For the Taliban, women are sexual slaves whose sole purpose is to be baby making machines
What a backward society. Under that thinking, a post menopausal woman would be useless.
The Internet is like a library: repository of knowledge, it’s also like cable TV where every crackpot has a broadcast license.
How you use it is up to you.
This is a bad take. Sometimes fiction is the best way to understand history. Furthermore, since authors are people in history, the often provide something more valuable than the outcome of a battle or the death of a King: the ideas, mood, and cultural of normal people in historical context.
Traditional Histories are crippled by survivor bias and are centered around elites.
ACAB is about the whole system of law enforcement being corrupt and not the characteristics of individual pigs.
There was a time when feeling suspicious about your victim was a defense called “gay panic” and several murderers got off that way.
