America democratically elected this chud. His moves appear to be about creating some sort of legacy that we’ll all look back on fondly one day. He craves a peace prize and when it doesn’t arrive he proceeds to threaten the committee. Delusional doesn’t come close to explaining this pathology.
Not sure the judge had that in mind when sentencing but for some people prison is preferable to homelessness.
Does it also work on rain?
Who would have thought that populating walled gardens and other enshitified services is a terrible idea?
One of the fundamental problems is that our leadership is becoming increasingly illiterate in technology. In order to leverage the economies of scale for large systems we need to either content ourselves with enshitified corporate solutions or enable collectivised approaches. Wikipedia is an excellent example of this, more of that please.
Rest in piss
What a bastard. Consider the plight of the multinational corporation. They are ashen faced in the C-suite mumbling lamentations, ‘number go down’ and ‘shareholder value’.
The logical evolution is Carpet Bagger.
America is a warrior nation. What they call news is actually fear mongering twaddle. Their heroic archetypes in film solve problems with violence. The state itself increasingly behaves like a robber baron. They are obsessed with weapons. School shootings are but one grotesque outcome of this pathology but however disgusting those events are, gun ownership is ubiquitous. It’s a society that would destroy itself rather than admit it’s wrong.
I don’t think a physical SIM is a guarantee that the phone number remains intact. The SIM is a token in the system that links a piece of hardware to a phone number and that link is maintained by the carrier. My phone spontaneously stopped being able to make calls and receive SMS. I went through the usual steps to rectify it but no dice. The carrier had to manually reconnect my number because it had become a victim of their periodic cull of disused numbers. Took quite a few calls over a period days to achieve this. ‘yes I have turned it off and on…’ ad nauseum.
Real smooth, like the cha-cha
Wasn’t ozempic also indicated for alcohol addiction? I know that amphetamine and related compounds are indicated for weight loss and attention deficit. Seems like whenever we create a psychoactive drug it is a blunt instrument that has multiple side effects.
Subconscious has been deprecated in favour of unconscious.
The conscious part of any given activity is what we think of as the source of free will but it’s not certain how free that part is. I’ve had experiences where I don’t know who is deciding the actions I’m taking. When we become aware of a thought, what is the origin of it?
Let’s turn the clock back to the days when we burnt coal. Cheaper? No. Better for the environment? Worse. Appealing to racist grandpa’s? Bingo.
What are you good at and what do you like doing? If you have a mind for logic and systems then programming is an endless source of puzzles to solve. If you like working with your hands, metalwork or woodwork. If you appreciate beauty, arts and crafts. If you are very physical, sports. If you don’t know, try them all.
The war he started sure seems like a great idea if the idea is to maintain a healthy population level. Why does anybody listen to what politicians or business says? Isn’t population reduction a good thing for the environment, surely that must be among our most pressing concerns right now?
Excel was developed as a quasi accounting tool for keeping track of basic numerical data. Presumably it gained popularity with small businesses and within corporations. The way it’s used currently goes way beyond the original scope. I’ve personally met many people using it for PhD research and engineering, which is a testament to the versatility of the design but also, wtf.
As I understand it, the enormous gravitational force causes time and space to become inverted. Instead of velocity being defined as time to displace position, time occurs over displacement. A person on the event horizon would be apparently frozen in place until they eventually faded to nothing. Not sure how that analogy works since light doesn’t escape a black hole but it’s how Brian Cox explained it.
