If itâs cornstarch that will wash off, then the headline is a lie and your quarrel is with whoever wrote that, not the people who believe the headline and believe stonehenge is getting actually defaced.
People have the right to do as they please, even if it means choosing a path toward their own demise.
People arenât unaware of climate change. Everyone knows about it. What youâre seeing is a manifestation of the average humanâs ranking of climate change in their own list of things to be concerned about.
You have no right to tell someone that climate change is more important than the things they choose to focus on instead.
If you think theyâre mistaken about whatâs on the table, like they underestimate the danger or something like that, then the right move is to inform them. All this protest activity is implicitly based on the assumption people just sort of ⊠forgot about climate change.
They didnât. They just donât prioritize it over the other problems in their lives. Which is their right.
Do people really not make a mask of their face in public? Who are these people going around riding trains with their emotional state visible on their face?
Itâs strange to me that this article makes mention of claims of disinformation, and lawsuits based on censorship and government collusion, without mentioning any details at all about what was actually claimed to have happened.
Does anyone know what the claims were, whether they had any validity, and what the outcomes of the lawsuits were?
Git repos have lots of write protected files in the .git directory, sometimes hundreds, and the default rm my_project_managed_by_git will prompt before deleting each write protected file. So, to actually delete my project I have to do rm -rf my_project_managed_by_git....
Weâre not âtrying to make every episode realâ. Technologyâs direction and human foibles are predictable. Black Mirror writers just arenât blind and have a good sense of whatâs coming down the pipeline.
Thatâs why itâs called Mirror. Itâs about showing us who we are.
Sorry if thatâs too horrifying for you, but this goes way beyond imitating the last person to mention these problems.
It could still be a bad idea even if the profit motive isnât involved.
One might be trying to help with the big surprise stash of heroin they leave to their widow, and she might embrace it fully, but that doesnât make it a good idea or good for her.
Iâve got that biographical detail and itâs kind of weird being able to remember times with my friends that they canât remember.
Just feels lonely. Like imagine being the only person who can remember more than an hour ago. How your life would feel different than those living within that 1-hour window.
I think it would be the opposite of upsetting, but in an unhealthy way. I think it would snap them out of their grief into a place of strangeness, and theyd stop feeling their feelings.
So Musk should have âshut his stupid fucking mouthâ instead of trying to form a nonprofit such as OpenAI?
Iâm not sure what problem you think Musk having his mouth open is causing here, other than making your embarrassing, four year old, irrational hatred flare up.
The new standards require American automakers to increase fuel economy so that, across their product lines, their passenger vehicles would average 65 miles per gallon by 2031, up from 48.7 miles today. The average mileage for light trucks, including pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, would have to reach 45 miles per...
Itâs an example of why over-complicated laws are terrible. Trying to get too specific with the lawâs prescriptions makes a weird game that results in weird plays and inefficient solutions.
Whatever it takes to lower our greenhouse gas emissions
This attitude is why we need to be really, extremely sure about this climate change thing. Since we are sacrificing everything else to it, if it turns out to be a false alarm we will have fucked ourselves royally for no reason.
Well conceivably closing the truck loophole would put a stop to that. But itâs conceivable that instead of Ford responding to the new âinnovate or dieâ law by innovating, itâll respond by dying.
Theyâre trying to say that I said, âBlack people were doing better under Jim Crow.â I never said that. They are lying. But why would you be surprised? They always lie," Donalds said.
âWhat I said was, you had more Black families under Jim Crow, and it was the Democrat policies under H.E.W., under the welfare state that did help to destroy the Black family,â the Republican clarified.
What he said is simple and hard to get wrong. The people who are getting it wrong are lying, on purpose, about what he said.
Weâre too nice. We work hard on making a society in which basic security negotiations arenât necessary, but the drawback is that we forget how to do that.
Weâre too successful in keeping people safe, and now we donât remember how to deal with monsters.
