So, the guy who will happily slender everyone and their dog doesn’t like it when you attack his character?

Juste because yours is genuine doesn’t mean theirs can’t also be. That’s the beauty of LLMs. They’re just stochastic parrots.

There’s no such thing as a backdoor that opens only for the good guys

It’s mandatory to display the price per kg or L in France, which makes comparing the value much easier.

This proposal is bonkers. Imagine aaaall the nudes that will have to be manually assessed by police (until they outsource it because it’s cheaper), and then you have to believe they won’t keep anything and that there are zero bad apples.

Besides, if the tools are already in place in the apps, it’s only a question of time before the detection system is repurposed for censorship of anything a totalitarian leaning government doesn’t like. Memes about our dear leader? I’m afraid we can’t allow that !

You can’t have a backdoor that works for the good guys only.

This is nice, but is it wired only ?

I understand the sentiment, although I still do have sympathy for them. The thing is, everyone knows by now that any westerner will likely be arrested by the Iranians on bogus pretext, and then used as a bargaining chip to alleviate some of the international sanctions. In the meantime, you’re pretty much guaranteed to spend a couple years in prison, and probably be raped too if you’re a woman.

Jeebus ! The number of people commenting here who don’t have any knowledge of the situation is annoying.

France vowed in the Noumea Accord of 1998 to gradually give more political power to New Caledonia. Since, under the agreement, New Caledonia has held three referendums over its ties with France, ALL rejecting independence. Now, the last referendum in 2021 had something like 94% people voting to stay French BUT the independentists had called for a boycott of the referendum, and so turnout was only about 44%. In 2018, New Caledonians rejected independence at 57%. In 2020 it was 53%. In both these votes, the turnout was 80+% .

So this is not a case of France imposing control on the local population, there seems to be at least a small majority of people who wish to stay French.

New Caledonians have French nationality, they vote in all french national elections (presidential, parliament, etc. ) and could absolutely vote in local elections if they moved to say Paris or Marseille.

The thing is, the electoral lists in New Caledonia were frozen in 1998, and so anyone who came to live there legally after that still can’t vote in local elections. This is now being reversed, allowing citizens who have lived there for at least 10 years to vote, and that’s why the independentist party is rioting. They fear the independentist vote would be diluted by these newcomers, which presumably would vote to stay French.

Edit : To add some context on the independentists, they are mostly of the Kanak people, the aboriginal population of the islands. Today, they represent about 41% of the ~300k people living in New Caledonia.They are usually poorer and benefit from a lesser level of education than Neocaledonians of European or mixed descent.

Germans will be glad to learn that fighting climate change ranks high among the ways you can prevent immigration.

And that thing is called greed. (see also : egoism)

And double that the year after !

Whiskers don’t make sense on a creature that doesn’t walk on all 4 anyway. They are only useful if they have a chance to contact something in front of you before the rest of your body.

The skin smoothing is also crazy. That wall 2 meters behind has more details and texture than their faces.

That’s a common way of thinking in people with little to no ethics. They think everyone else is the same, and thus if you dig you’re surely going to find something.

Fat is usually stored in the body in the form of triglycerids. When fat is used, it’s usually not turned into glucose, but rather into fatty acids, that are then released in the blood and reach the cells that need extra energy, where they are used by the mitochondria to power said cells. The signaling that triggers this is in fact done by a bunch of hormones that do indeed circulate in the blood to reach the cells specialized in storing fat, called adipocytes.

Depending of what triggers the transformation of fat into fatty acids( a process called lipolysis), those hormones could be insulin, epinephrin, growth hormone, etc.

If you look at who is quoted in the article doing the condemning, it’s pretty much all repented trumpets or never-trumpers, who are a vanishing minority in the Republican party. I don’t think this will have any negative impact on the MAGA Republicans’ view of Noem.

This would go down just like the proverbial chess playing against a pigeon.
