But what about <incredibly contrived specific example involving song lyrics, guns to heads etc.>, can I say it then?

Scamming is core to what it is to be human, other animals don’t scam, and when they do, insofar as they do, we say they are like us

Shower thoughts are wasting water.

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it back...

porous_grey_matter ,

No amount of infrastructure fixes a drought lmao

Nope, you just can’t get a job unless you suck it up and publish in these journals, because they’re already famous. And established profs use their cosy relationships with editors to gatekeep and stifle competition for their funding :(

porous_grey_matter ,

Those few top people are assholes who love the enormous power they wield over PhD students, postdocs and junior faculty, and they are usually editors on those big name journals. Unlike the people who actually do the work, they are getting paid from this system.

porous_grey_matter ,

Doesn’t have to be a conspiracy to have that effect or reflect that view

porous_grey_matter ,

Overestimating it a little, the construction workers just need to be good. But there are indeed literally thousands of PhDs working on it for decades, from all over the world.

It’s a credit card/payment processor thing, i.e. ultimately it’s visa/mastercard, but it’s up to the bank to offer to individuals. It’s often available in other anglophone countries if your talk to your bank but I’m sure in some places they wouldn’t do that. But yeah, years ago is too long anyway.

porous_grey_matter ,

They actually don’t, on average they actually become slightly more progressive. However, rich people are conservative and rich people live longer.

There is no issue from graphenes side really, Google wallet doesn’t work because obviously Google doesn’t allow it to. nfc payments always worked if you are lucky enough to be with a bank that does it through the bank app itself, there’s nothing intrinsic about the os that stops them. There are a few of those online banks/money apps offering this now, some people have said PayPal works? And various other services. If you Google a bit you should find some suggestions. I don’t think the convenience is worth the privacy invasion of mobile payments, it defeats the whole point of having a secure os tbh.

Death of attention span is real but not wanting to listen to ten minutes of bullshit waffle, please like and subscribe, for two minutes of information is not it.

Ok? We’re not obligated to watch stuff just because it’s someone’s creative output. We don’t owe this person a paycheck through YouTube ads. Everyone’s got the right to have the necessities of life but that’s got nothing to do with this. Different people have different interests, and someone who’s really into this subject or this creator might want to watch the whole thing, but not everyone has to.

porous_grey_matter ,

Not to mention projection

So close, but you got social studies and English the wrong way round, they go in rainbow order corresponding to the science-to-art spectrum.

Senate Approves Aid for Ukraine and Israel, Sending It to Biden’s Desk (www.nytimes.com)

The Senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday night to give final approval to a $95.3 billion package of aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, sending it to President Biden and ending months of uncertainty about whether the United States would continue to back Kyiv in its fight against Russian aggression....

It’s because both of them serve the same US foreign policy goals. The ethics of one over the other don’t factor in to it at all.

porous_grey_matter ,

Same as it ever was

porous_grey_matter ,

Elites has always been code for Jews, yeah

porous_grey_matter ,

Well yea… If you write “return <object of some other type>” that is actually wrong, as opposed to just not having gotten around to filling it in yet

porous_grey_matter ,

No, probably not

porous_grey_matter ,

That’s not a source. By that metric every American AV has an NSA backdoor. And, ok, both of these are probably true tbh. But Kaspersky publishes extremely good security research and analysis which is just technical and totally possible to verify independently, so there’s no reason to avoid those, even if you don’t want to use their software.

porous_grey_matter ,

The thing you’re missing is that other people come in and say the same thing as you, and when they listened to them once, they absolutely freaked the hell out, left bad reviews, maybe threatened to sue or something. So you just have to live with that unfortunately.

porous_grey_matter ,

Hahahaha, good one

The government deciding what ideas should be banned is pretty typical in Germany lol

porous_grey_matter ,

Ok, so which is it? I’m arguing it’s fine to ban ideas if they’re bad enough, like holocaust denial in Germany.

porous_grey_matter ,

That’s not a great argument, there is no evidence those things are somehow connected or not. For all you know it would have been straight back to fascism 60 years earlier if it wasn’t banned. The reason AfD has power is that the courts and government support them and let them get away with crime. If the law was actually applied it would have banned that party.

porous_grey_matter ,

Female dog probably

porous_grey_matter ,

Not swears, just slurs

porous_grey_matter ,

Looks great! Weird that Kashmiri chilli was so hard to find, it’s in every Asian grocery here (UK) and even in the international section in many British supermarkets.

porous_grey_matter ,

This is not remotely why the planet is warming up lmao

porous_grey_matter ,

New as in 1800s, pretty sure some of these other places didn’t exist then too.

porous_grey_matter ,

No that’s correct

porous_grey_matter ,

Yes, it’s pure unfiltered bullshit. A time honoured way to get investment tbh

porous_grey_matter ,

While it’s probably true that people spend more than they otherwise would (otherwise this wouldn’t be such a huge thing), that doesn’t follow from Klarna’s marketing figure of 45% higher spend per order. It is totally possible that people order more at once but less often. Especially for groceries, buying in bulk is often much better value, but it can be impossible if you just don’t have the cash around.

porous_grey_matter ,

You get $10 of interest per month on a month’s expenses?

porous_grey_matter ,

no one says no profits should be had at all.

Actually quite a few of us do say that

porous_grey_matter ,

You’re not wrong that it means that now, but literally has meant figuratively since it started being used in the eighteenth century

porous_grey_matter ,

About half of the equivalent in the US, often less. It’s exceedingly rare to make 100k here even in a senior position, although it does exist. Median is 40-50 (pounds, so times that by 1.2 for USD).

porous_grey_matter ,

Yes, depending on where you live rent might be similar (London isn’t much cheaper than NY or LA) but cost of living is otherwise less. Also, people tend to work much shorter hours (a limit of 37 for me, any extra is returned as PTO) and start with much more annual leave (25 days discretionary, for me, plus public holidays, plus we close over Christmas and new year’s). Furthermore there’s no health costs to pay etc. On the whole it balances out and I think the lifestyle here is better, but I do envy the extreme salaries of those in the US.

porous_grey_matter ,

Sure, yes, but those kinds of positions in the US make 300k or more too. Also, then you work in finance and you have to live with the fact that you are categorically making the world a worse place every day.

porous_grey_matter ,

It’s not too crazy here :) 25 days a year is the legal minimum and I get about 10 more than that, plus a few extra from doing overtime here and there. That’s why I say the lifestyle is on the whole better here even though we don’t earn nearly as much. It’s still plenty to pay the mortgage, and Europe is right on the doorstep to spend all that holiday time in.

porous_grey_matter ,

Wait til you hear about the anti defamation league

porous_grey_matter ,

I don’t think your argument quite holds up. The directionality is important. It’s true that the government can’t always know about technical things directly, but I think it’s fine for the government to be expected to know which experts they need to consult, and for that process not to just be open to everyone (which just means more open to those with more money).

porous_grey_matter ,

Endeavour is better for that, after the install you’ll have plain arch but with a bunch of stuff installed and already set up

porous_grey_matter ,

Yeah for sure, cops suck in France too. But at least they fight back a bit.

porous_grey_matter ,

That’s not really a relevant criticism, I’m not talking about anything out of the ordinary. Plenty of not very tough people (like me) go to protests, but people are tougher when they are united. The idea that a protest would stick to some zone, or that people wouldn’t try to help each other against the cops, is super sad. It makes you think they don’t really believe in the thing they are protesting for at all.
