Gotta sue for those, this is just charges being dropped.


Catholicism learned it’s lesson after Gallileo. They gotta make sure they’re right before they go accusing folks of heresy, now. That means scientists on the payroll.


Oh yeah. Russia, historically great for indigenous groups.


Good news is you could hide the offending gallium under, like, a sticker, so it just looks like boring vandalism rather than property destruction. No method is perfect, I think they all deserve a shot!


Unironically, but you do need a lot of fresh contact surface. So, be sure to mar the surface first.
For those unaware, Aluminum-Gallium is a degenerate alloy that can spread deep beneath the surface of an aluminum structure. If exposed to an alloy of aluminum, it only attacks the aluminum. The resultant material is soft and brittle, you can break pieces off with your hands.

Every flavor but dickhead. What a delicious brew. I prefer it that way.


God isn’t real, it’s just a story made up by humans who didn’t know how the world worked and took a stab in the dark at the cause. It is voluntarily believed by billions of people on earth because of countless of different reasons. Some of those are worthy of scorn and derision; mad men using religion to control those around them, those who use their religion to bolster their hatred and bigotry. But for every one of those, there are many more people who use their religion to love and build community, support those in need, and generally share the love.
There, this comment is blasphemous but in a that’s way inoffensive towards any one people or religion. I’ll report myself and you’ll see if your interesting interpretation is true, or if the rule is about stopping bigotry.


Don’t they know your form of bigotry is based in logic and reason? So much different than all those other bigotries that only have… wait… oh no! It looks they all rationalize themselves using logic and reason. But that can’t be, don’t they know that your bigotry is the only correct one? Surely… no… yeah… yep, it looks like there’s no fundamental difference between yours and anyone else’s. Just made up lines and people pissed about people being on different sides of those imaginary lines. Oh well, I guess that’s how the cookie crumbles


Yeah, my comment trying to get you to acknowledge that you’re being islamophobic is the same as white people pretending that color blindness and ignorance are a sufficient substitute to bringing an end to systemic racism. Good take. Brain dead as fuck, but you sure did use words to reply. So, that’s something going for you. You’re still capable of human speech!


Religious extremists suck, regardless of the religion. This isn’t exceptional of Islam, my guy. Christian extremists do shit just as bad all the time.


After the Civil rights and anti-Vietnam protests of the 60s and 70s, public policy changed to quietly hoover up all of the hippies via the drug war and cut funding for universities and colleges. That, plus McCarthyism and the oil shortage lead to Boomers being one of the most conservative generations in American history. They, along with the government, pushed this idea of freedom through self-reliance and hard work. Those were always the undercurrent of America’s politics, but now there were basically no dissenting voices (cause they were all in jail for possession or for being a commie).
The next generations of leftist voices were crushed by the heel of capitalism. Since college and university cost more, individuals participating either needed to already have money (thus be more likely to swallow the “individual effort” freedom narrative) or needed to take out loans (thus needed to keep their mouth shut, since student loans are “forever loans” that can’t be forgiven via bankruptcy and they needed employment to pay them back). High school and lower education was stripped of “commie” talking points, meaning the sole narrative taught to young people before college was “America is the best cause of our freedom” nonsense. Unions were taken during this time with “right to work” laws, handing more unchecked power to corporations.
Right now in America, there’s a resurgence of leftist voices, but these are students with no masters. We have to rebuild the organizations to support these efforts, but that takes time. In the interim, you’ll see mass protests break out from time to time when things get bad, but our lack of generational knowledge on how to utilize these efforts means they’ll come and go fairly quickly as individuals are unsure of what comes next. And before those protests can solidify around a single message or platform, mass media will come in to give them a shit one, or twist the actual one to lose public support. That’s why the George Floyd protests were big and loud, but didn’t really drive any consistent goals. The “defund” narrative was constructed around the movement before it could actually decide that was its goal, and that was too an extreme for position for the average American in that moment (think the Overton shifted on that, now), killing the momentum the movement was gaining.
Another thing is that the gov’t targets leaders of these movements and finds a way to put them in jail or kill them. Meaning being the face of the movement is basically guaranteed to get you killed or silenced. So none of these modern protests have true leaders (not single strong men, mind, but actual decision making bodies in general), making it hard to quickly organize messaging and actions. Putting them even more flat-footed for when the next moment arises.
Also, any popular protest in the US that doesn’t include rioting gets basically no air time. The George Floyd protests went on for months after the news stopped covering them. Minneapolis’ response to operation metro surge outlasted the operation, but you don’t hear about it being celebrated.


(Looks at the history of Musk in the public eye)
I’m gonna say it’s the idiot one. All the moron had to do was keep his mouth shut and keep paying to buy the founder title of other market disruptors and he’d’ve been the next Henry Ford (literal nazi that Americans remember fondly cause he was “pro-labor” (threw labor a bone to disrupt union efforts))
Instead, we now all know he’s an evil idiot with an ego problem.


It’s a dog whistle for casting only white people and no queer actors. If something has a racist angle, assume that’s the one Musk means


Holy shit! China invented the speed of sound in space for this test? You’d think that’d be terrible for rockets, what with all the shit that’ll show you down now, but it’s important that that asteroid knows what hit it.
(This is a dumb joke about using “Mach” as a speed outside of an atmosphere)


Yes, there are plenty of people mature enough to separate the atrocities committed by an MC and their enjoyment of said MC
The issue is the ones who aren’t. And there are a lot of them


I’m having trouble parsing this. Looking at the paper (https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWSM/article/view/42688) it looks like they’re using the LLMs to determine if a video aligns with one of the three categories they were testing this behavior against (cooking, fitness, and sports betting). They decided to go with that rather than hashtag filtering because hashtag use on the platform isn’t moderated. So, unrelated hashtags can be used on a video, some don’t have hashtags, and none of it is standardized. Categorizing things is something that LLMs are pretty damn good at, actually. Mostly because we actually understand how they do that (localization in high-dimension vector DBs)
Like, they’re not using the LLM to interpret their results, man. This is a clear centaur, not a reverse-centaur. The tool is being used by those who understand it, not being made to make decisions that it has no business making.


I was really uninterested in the fascist is the protag anime, but y’all enjoy.


Do have local reps with FPTP voting systems? Then you too are at risk of minority control of government. Be sure to ask your representative about RCV, Star, or MMP voting today!
Gods, he thinks people are dumb. I mean, people keep falling for it but come the fuck on, man!
