  1. It is the Arctic, not the ant-arctic.

Actually that’s all.

With feedback loops already started there is no other way. Emissions need to be drastically cut and geo-engineering will be necessary to interrupt those feedback loops.

Which was retaliation for Israel carrying out an assassination on Iranian soil. Context always matters.

YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50% (mas.to)

YouTube Premium users across the globe are facing significant price hikes as Google increases subscription costs in over a dozen countries. This follows earlier price jumps in various regions, including the United States last summer. The latest increases vary by region, with some countries experiencing hikes between 30% to 50%....

Cypher ,

YouTube has a monopoly and it’s no surprise people are frustrated, especially those who aren’t tech aware enough to continue blocking ads.

Cypher ,

As if I needed more reasons to be happy he was reduced to a fine paste

Cypher ,

Both lettuce and apples are incomplete sources of protein and could not sustain a healthy diet.

Fish is a complete source of protein.

Cypher ,

Protein is protein and if this is where someone needs to get it, then this is what it will be

It is the point, if fish is what someone needs to obtain complete protein then that’s what they’ll do. Lettuce is not a replacement for fish which is what was being implied.

I understand if you have difficulty following basic comment chains and comprehending comments, with your lack of a balanced diet.

Cypher ,

Blizzard should be paying attention to this, as it perfectly describes their flying mounts.

I really hope Nintendo just picked a fight with Blizzard/Microsoft lol

Cypher ,

Read the article you fucking spanner

Cypher ,

spanner – a derogatory remark similar to tool; for example, “That bloke’s an absolute spanner.”; from spanner, a tool used for adjusting bolts

Cypher ,

The leading theory is a supply chain attack and that explosives were planted but you would know that if you could read, mr hacker

Cypher ,

not who actually attacked the other and who is defending themselves.

I will give you a hint, the Israelis siezed lands by force as part of the formation of Israel, expelling or killing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

Everything following that action has been defence by the regional populace.

Cypher ,

No that’s not the leading theory outside the west.

Completely irrelevant as reality doesn’t care where your fallacious claims are sourced from.

Ahhh yes China, which is famous for its respect of human rights, will take over because consumer sentiment will shift. Very obvious.

and you chuck fucks

Full mask off huh, so which is your preferred flavour of dictators boot?

Cypher ,

when your tech sector takes a hit.

It was merely the start of the mask slipping, you have effectively admitted you aren’t from the West.

So I ask again, what is your favourite flavour of dictators boot?

Cypher ,

That’s true, however the user name would indicate a US based user and they comment consistently on US political issues.

They are either a very active foreign useful idiot or an astro turfer, though I am leaning towards them being a useful idiot due to their very mask off approach.

Is overwatch 2 really that bad?

I’ve played maybe 10 hours total of Overwatch 2 and it is incredibly boring (to me). But it seems to get lots of updates often, heavy monetization which sucks. The steam reviews are scalding. It really makes me wonder… is it that bad? Like really? It’s hard to gauge if the game is thriving or on deaath’s door…

Cypher ,

He did give reasons. Can’t you read?

Cypher ,

I don’t have premium, and I don’t see any ads either

Cypher ,

On mobile I can avoid ads by using a VPN to my home network which then has pihole. Usually I just don’t watch any videos on mobile

Cypher ,

Maybe they changed something, it used to work for me before I stopped watching YouTube on mobile completely

Cypher , (edited )

Huh, I wonder why virtually every uncontacted tribe we’ve found so far has the men doing all* the hunting?

*I don’t consider foraging for clams hunting, but people are free to disagree

Cypher ,

Sigh, taking such claims at face value and not looking into how the underlying data was obtained is how we end up with so many successfully published but false scientific papers.

The paper referenced here is journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/jour…

The cultures ‘surveyed’ are

journals.plos.org/plosone/article/figure?id=10.13…

Notice any uncontacted peoples missing from those data points? Here’s a quick list of them from Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontacted_peoples

Immediately I can tell you the Sentinelese, Awa, Toromona, Nukak, Tagaeri and the Taromenanepeople are not represented here. It’s almost like the societies selected for this paper weren’t a complete picture.

I wonder why that would be… surely not to conform to any biases of the authors.

Cypher ,

Uncontacted peoples are groups of Indigenous peoplesliving without sustained contact with neighbouring communities and the world community.

It’s right there in the link I provided, so yes, because infrequent contact and observation is possible.

Cypher ,

I am concerned only with the factuality of the data presented and have zero interest in cultural implications and any inferences that may be drawn from them.

Cypher ,

Conclusions drawn from incomplete or misleading data are worthless to everyone

Cypher ,

We have these things called binoculars, telescopes, cameras and drones. All of which are able to observe subjects from a safe distance.

I suspect that the number would be around a 50% split, what would then be interesting is determining which group has a better diet and survival rate to determine which tactic is superior.

Cypher ,

Not having the time or funding to perform my own study does not invalidate my criticism that the authors used an incomplete and flawed data set.

Cypher ,

but estimates from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in the UN and the nonprofit group Survival International point to between 100 and 200 uncontacted tribes

We’re in luck, there are more than enough to bring the sample size to a reasonable quantity.

Cypher ,

Interesting rebuttal to evidence of peak female athletes getting bodied by fairly average high school aged males.

Cypher ,

the U.S. Women’s National Team

Your arguments would be more convincing if you could read.

Cypher ,

And you downvote me for being correct?

It must really hurt that reality doesn’t agree with you.

Cypher ,

I expect Russians to cry foul over this but early on Russia was using thermobaric weapons on civilian targets and they said nothing, so we know they’re just hypocrits and monsters.

Cypher ,

Campaigns that take the high road lose. It’s a strategy that doesn’t win over undecided voters.

Cypher ,

TBF land clearance for grazing land is a catastrophic issue for the environment and going on in places like the Amazon rainforest.

Some ecosystems are naturally evolved to supporting grazing species like the grasslands of North America which was once home to millions of Buffallo but that’s not true of most land currently used for grazing.

Cypher ,

It’s at a point where I’m all for a UN resolution to end land clearance in locations like the Amazon Rainforest, to be enforced by lethal means if necessary.

Billions of lives may depend on securing such important ecosystems.

Cypher ,

Haha not saying you do but it’s what I would like to see happen

Cypher ,

So 1300~ dead is a drop in the bucket and clearly not worth all this fuss.

Cypher ,

‘Defending’ democracy by denying a people the right to self determination and government, keeping them in the worlds largest concentration camp and killing Palestinians so you can steal their land.

Sucks you don’t see it.

Cypher ,

You think drugging children should be mandatory because they might inconvenience you by making some noise?

You have issues.

Cypher ,

Such EULAs are often pointless in Australia, and she is Australian, as it is impossible for an Australian to sign away any of their rights.

Cypher ,

You might be surprised, many MUDs were kept alive by usenet groups. Any chance you remember the name?

Cypher ,

Surely losing the bagage and making the money he needed to setup his family was the priority in that case?

Jesse was a tool, he needed that tool to achieve his goals in a limited time frame, rehabing two addicts is time consuming and difficult under the best circumstances.

A bit of a sociopath take sure, but Heisenberg may have been one in the end.

Cypher ,

It is your client, the tag renders correctly on browser and Voyager

Cypher ,

Possible they haven’t updated, or something with your OS or a dependency is different.

Cypher ,

My original reply was joking about killing Windows not being wrong, then obviously we’ve pivoted into talking about the actual show.

Two separate sentiments entirely.

Walter was a monster who put his own ambitions above others needs, safety and lives. You happy I cleared that up?

Cypher ,

My TV doesn’t get connected to the internet.

If I connect it then eventually it will update to a version of the OS that is slow, buggy and all the apps will be out of support regardless.

If I airgap the TV and use a computer it is good until too many pixels burn out or someone yeets something into it.

Cypher ,

See I thought of Rogue first but trusted the Guiness book of world records! I guess they need to be corrected

Cypher ,

Fuck yea lets go, then the petty people involved in discussions can see I’m not even bothering to down vote their idiocy.

But the idea, for example, that your relationship is doomed if you’re with an insecure person is “nonsense,” Professor Karantzas says.

"I flatly refute that, that is idiocy at its finest.
