Maybe we become more extreme in our existing beliefs. My political compass position drifted right from bottom left as I hit my thirties. After the Iraq invasion of 2003 and recessions following 2008 it swung back towards Ghandi. I became convinced that conservative politics isn’t working in my late forties and that has only been reinforced as I try to access the creaking UK healthcare system.
Android cannot know who is scrolling but it does know it is connected to a car. The obvious solution is to disconnect it from the car in order to scroll through the app. It’s completely insane to use a phone while driving and that’s the origin of the message. Attempting to subvert that mechanism is asking for trouble.
Fear of rejection can manifest in this way. We can’t be rejected if we sabotage the relationship before the person finds out who we really are. It’s a sign of low self esteem and depression.
What’s the difference between Batman and Blackman? Batman can go to the store without Robin.
Imagine the paradise slaves were living under, they could never be the victims of pay cuts.
An institution like the EU is always going to be vulnerable to bigots and idiots in large numbers. The EU is also often viewed as an impediment to big business. Their values are not the same and I’m glad about that.
First past the post duopolies are not serious democracies.
Google search is still pretty good although definitely not what it was in its ad-free heyday. That you would go to the trouble of complaining about it is incomprehensible, given the plethora of credible alternatives.
Step 1. Make an AI that hoovers up content.
Step 2. When owners of content complain about privacy violations and copyright infringement, allay their fears. This AI is for the Good of Humanity.
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Profit.
Richest country in history cannot afford to maintain its infrastructure or healthcare for its citizenry.
Is water the best choice for a chemical fire?
Wehrmacht was not a Nazi organisation. Members were free to join the party but they were not under any obligation. The SS was an explicitly Nazi army but completely separate from the Wehrmacht.
German people were compelled to ‘support the troops’ in the same way that Americans are compelled to support their many illegal invasions of sovereign territory. The British continue to build and operate colonial era warships. The main difference is they were on the winning side, lmao, etc.
Wind the window down, stomp the A-pedal and clutch pedal into the floor, turn the key until the engine roars, dump the clutch like it’s last season’s fashion. Savour the heady mixture of tyre smoke and unburnt fuel as you peal out into traffic.
Yahoo, the cowboys of journalism.
You are a gigachad that lives in the future.
I struggled with this most of my life without knowing why, always feeling like I never measured up. Since being diagnosed and treated at 47 it made a huge difference. I set reasonable boundaries at work and I’m blessed with a sympathetic manager. He gives me tasks that allows me to play to my strengths and make a positive difference in the workplace.
I suppose nobody wants to be a loser but some people are pathological with it. I would imagine a typical scenario is some young guy has reached the limit of what he can achieve in a game and is still losing. They implement cheats for a while and then quit the game entirely because it still doesn’t scratch the itch and now it’s also become boring. Everyone loses.
Shitting turns out to be the most hazardous activity of the trifecta.
Chewing coca leaves seems to have a long history that continues to this day. I hear it’s common practice among long distance drivers of the present and it wouldn’t be surprising to find out that this has been the case ever since people made long transits on foot or horseback. Not sure we can call it cocaine though, isn’t that term reserved for the hydrochloride salt form of the drug?
Love his white feet, what a cutie
