I hope someone viciously kills him before it can happen.

Like, to be clear I am not threatening or anything, but no such thing as a trillionaire should exist, and it’s absolutely something that should be punished.

There is no moral way to get there.

The additives and chemicals in fuel are straight up cancerous. Your coffee in this example, would now come with a hint of crippling disabilities for your children.

Your supposition about surface area is correct but with contaminants this powerful it’s not really valid.

Apparently they were getting called out for using a LLM on the new Shikanoko anime instead of hiring a translator.

Even this method is overreach: who control the database?

Journalist have a scoop on a US violation of civil rights? Well not if it is important to the CIA who slipped the PDF that was their evidence into the hash pool and had his phone silently rat him out as the one reporting.

This hands ungodly power to those running that database. It’s blind, and it “only flags the bad things”. Which we all agree CSAM is bad, but I can easily ruin someone inconvenient to me if I was in that position by just ensuring some of his personal and unique photo get into the hash. It’s a one way process, so everyone would just believe definitively that this radical MLK guy is a horrible pedo because we got some images off his phone in a diner.

How anti-semetic of them. Don’t they know you can’t do that?

I am glad there are other players in the market but the user experience was just miserable for me. Between the lack of buttons for all the climate control and the error messages, as well as subpar android auto support in favor of their own janky android OS (not great for rentals).

Maybe Polestar 3 will fix all this. Maybe.

No buttons for climate control / fans, and Android auto on it is also kinda jank.

Fucking good. Long overdue.

I love some EVs, but I drove a Polestar 2 and a Model 3 on road trips for work in California. Never again. The nighttime driving experience is miserable imo, and the issues with the lack of stalks and buttons is real.

The Polestar is the only car to ever make me so angry I had to pull over. It had some kind of sensor issue, and decided the right way to notify my at 80mph on the highway was to A) cover my gate cluster with the error notification B) disengage my cruise control suddenly, at 80mph, and C) begin beeping.

I almost drove my rental into the Pacific Ocean out of spite.

I mean, they are literally mounting campaigns targeting gays now. Maybe it sucks for both but it sucks especially hard for gay people in Russia at the moment.

E.g. Maybe it sucks to live in Mordor. But as a Goblin instead of as an Orc, maybe it sucks especially hard when Sauron starts the “let’s purge the Goblins” campaign led by the Orcs.

To everyone cracking jokes about a gay uprising, it’s a lot simpler than any of that.

They just want to exterminate the gays. Like literally. They want to find that portion of the population and destroy it, because they think it’s disgusting and evil.

That’s it. Putin and the Russian conservatives are going after gays because it’s an easy win with their conservative base, and they can claim moral superiority. Also distracts from Ukraine.

If you are gay in Russia… Its a very bad time to be gay in Russia.

This is an absurdly oversimplified version of events. The Taliban waged a successful insurgency effort for nearly 2 decades, and remained armed and organized the entire time. The reason they took over after US withdrawl was in no way because they were “what people wanted”. They killed those who opposed them swiftly, and have continued to do so. They took power through swift application of force.

They will never “change their government from within”. The Taliban is not a democracy where you vote on policy. It’s is a religious group and opposition to their policies is handled as opposition to God. You will die.

I understand the tact you were attempting to take here, but the Taliban is not a populist force in the region, at all. There was fairly widespread support (not unanimous) for the changes the US brought, but rebuilding a nation is not simple. Corruption can take decades to expunged. Unfortunately the Taliban returned first and the sitting leadership just rolled over and hoped not to die.
