Probably to sarcastically mimic the rationale/excuses of people that defend Israel. I feel pretty confident assuming that Albert doesn’t actually think there are cases where torture and rape are justifiable.

It’s not like the government can pay anyone anything right now, might as well not work for free.

I’ve never liked this expression because your eyes do lie to you so often. It’s the whole reason optical illusions exist.

Wouldn’t women have to deal with “discomfort” from losing to males they have no chance of beating?

Do you understand that you’re implying all women are physically inferior to all men? That a man could never lose a race to a woman?

Or do you think we should always exclude all the top athletes because everyone else would also feel “discomfort from losing to [people] they have no chance of beating?"

I’d assume there aren’t actually enough trans women trying to play sports to form a league. NCAA President Charlie Baker testified in December 2024 that he knows of fewer than ten transgender college student-athletes among 510,000 athletes total.

I’d hate it if my government did anything political. Politics has no place in government, we’d best leave it for the politicians.

You have your formatting backwards. It goes [text](link) and you have [link](text).

So you would want [the missing missing reasons](https://www.issendai.com/psychology/estrangement/missing-missing-reasons.html) without a backslash in front, like this: the missing missing reasons.

We’re also talking about random military members rather than anyone rich or powerful. I’d be willing to believe they could face prosecution

The study found that EVs produce fewer non-exhaust emissions in heavy traffic situations. However, when roads are clearer, their greater weight can lead to increased particulate pollution compared to gasoline vehicles.

EVs do have one downside brought by their extra weight, more brutal torque delivery and superior power compared to gas cars: their tires wear out faster. This is also a source of emissions that affects air quality. However, while EVs can’t escape the physics brought by their extra heft, their tires don’t wear out anywhere near as quickly as some deliberately misleading headlines might have you believe, although there isn’t a definitive number stating how that’s different from a combustion car.

They shed less particulate matter overall, but they still wear through tires faster. Both of those articles are about how great regenerative breaking are, and don’t say that electric cars produce less tire dust.

I just opened up CoMaps because I never actually checked before, and it is in fact the Gulf of Mexico, while google and apple both have “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”. I’m also learning that CoMaps is on the app store, so I guess my takeaway is you should try not to use the default apps on your device.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a nonprofit focused on combating antisemitism, defended tech billionaire Elon Musk’s “awkward” gesture during a Monday celebratory event which some critics panned as a fascist salute.

“This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety,” the ADL wrote in a Monday post on Musk’s social platform X. “It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.”

From the Hill if anyone else wanted to know more.

If you’re just going to copy and paste from an NPR article, you might as well provide a link while you’re at it.

Only if you’re counting the Coast Guard and Space Force (and maybe others I might be forgetting). So don’t do that, it would make Donjuanme wrong.

Oh. I guess I read that wrong as “willful childishness” and thought they were just being kind of petty at the end.

They’re taking advantage of everyone with their shitty “dev exchange rates”

Also, it’s a bit light to say that they’re stricly saying taking advantage of people because only because of their fees.

I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to say. I didn’t say the transfer fees were the only way they were taking advantage of people, I just wanted to use the thing you already admitted was predatory and use it to give an example of how roblox is taking advantage of children.

You don’t know how the known behavior that takes advantage of everyone, in a game popular with and marketed towards children, is taking advantage of children?

Unfortunately, they predicted a bad actor getting access to their server/devices. Reality is even stupider since someone accidentally included a journalist in their classified group chat.

I’m assuming they’re thinking about this

A pseudonymous coder has created and released an open source “tar pit” to indefinitely trap AI training web crawlers in an infinitely, randomly-generating series of pages to waste their time and computing power. The program, called Nepenthes after the genus of carnivorous pitcher plants which trap and consume their prey, can be deployed by webpage owners to protect their own content from being scraped or can be deployed “offensively” as a honeypot trap to waste AI companies’ resources.

Everyone using your server should be fine.

spent hours on the phone explaining to constituents that our funding was cut so we couldn’t provide the services they were due

In the Pentagon? What services are the Pentagon providing that I should be calling about?
