My guess is they don’t want to be responsible for lawsuits if someone eats food they had to throw out and it causes a problem. (past expiration date, damage, ect.) Then again I am not a multi-billion dollar business executive so the reason could very well be “fuck the poors” for all I know.

That’s not fair, even ugly cats are worth loving!

Spawncamping, not sure how that’d work here though.

my favorite part about reading the relevant Wikipedia article is the libertarian magazine claiming the islands were “more or less reclaimed by the sea”. As if the people already there weren’t people but fish or something. For those curious: Here is the Wikipedia article

That would the coolest shit imaginable. I’m surprised nobody has tried making a FOSS ecosystem for the DS, considering how often users have hacked it. All I’m saying is, I wish a company would come alone and make a DS like system with modern resolution and cameras. It might do pretty well.

Some US states require you have one on the front and back. Or at least that’s what I’ve been told by a highway patrolman.

This is a defeatist take and while the answer isn’t a super simple “just tell people to not order out and cook more” we can definitely do more to help people stop relying on eating out and fast food.

The op posted a lighter version in the comments, Check it out! It’s pretty great.

Can I ask how you did the blue and white bottom left square? I really like the effect you made with it, and I kinda wish it was more present throughout the rest of the painting, because it feels like all the drips and paint textures tend towards the bottom (which may be your intention, I wouldn’t know lmao) but it’d be kind of cool to more of that in the top half in more than just that red left-topmost rectangle. Basically what Im saying is I kind of like the texture interactions. (also after reading some of the comments here I realized the thickness of the medium shows more in the dark version than the light version, I’m guessing you painted the other shapes over a canvas you gave once over with the darker paint first?) That being said some of the color interactions are only visible in the lighter version so I can see why you posted the other one!

On one hand it’s an amazing piece in both the dark and the light versions, on the other the bottom right side sort of loses something in the darker version. I feel like the minor difference adds something, even if it doesn’t draw the eye as much as the top half.

I kinda wonder where the down-votes are coming from? It seems unrealistic to assume half of all currently using people will stop using facebook, youtube, and snapchat within 2 years. As much as I’d like to assume otherwise I feel like that’s farfetched even with the study posted.

Facebook is one of the social media sites banned by the Chinese government. I’m not saying they don’t use it anyway, but for what it’s worth the last time I checked it was also banned.

“means more” isn’t a factual statement, it’s a value judgement and some people value being the best version of themselves more than they value leading a miserable existence because of their genetics. Environmental issues are also just that: results of the environment rather than innate expression of X or Y chromosomes. The point the OP post is making is that instead of focusing on economic policies, global warming, and wars, politicians are more focused on who decides they’d be happier as a man/woman/non binary person. It’s a complete waste of time for everyone BUT doctors and researchers since we shouldn’t be judging or limiting what people can do based on what genitals they were born with, and instead be focusing on how to fix massive, glaring, and disastrous issues such as the ones described in the post.

“the actual fascists don’t matter” …There’s no way you just typed that in good faith.

As someone with insomnia problems that have been reoccurring throughout my life, that was a terrifying read thank you.

Congratulations on the small victory!

Would graphene OS be the answer here then? I’ve been looking around for my new phone lately as I’m trying to do the same. Would it be possible to de-google lineage OS manually or is it just better to pick another OS? Sorry for the questions but I don’t really know where the FOSS android communities are yet so I don’t know where to look for the answers.

Even the best laid plans go awry though. The point is even if they pragmatically design it to not kill indiscriminately, bugs and glitches happen. The technology isn’t all the way there yet and putting the ability to kill in the machine body of something that cannot understand context is a terrible idea. It’s not that the military wants to indiscriminately kill everything, it’s that they can’t possibly plan for problems in the code they haven’t encountered yet.

That’s the issue being discussed here. The tests will also show up if you smoked the week before on your day off. They don’t determine whether you were high on the clock or high on the weekends only. It penalizes people who smoke weed in their free time, as opposed to people who are actively causing a problem. Additionally, booze, meth, and heroin for example, are all out of your system much faster, so it doesn’t really do a good job of determining whether or not they’ll be blitzed on the job either, which is what the comment you replied to said. The point being made is that the drug test isn’t actually going to prevent anyone from being drunk on the job, but it will prevent you from hiring the guy who tried weed once in his free time.

I have Generalized anxiety disorder, It’s chronic and therapy doesn’t “cure” it. I will most likely struggle with it for the rest of my life. While this may be an anecdotal example I’m not aware of anything that “cures” anxiety disorders, therapy is mostly there to manage the symptoms effectively. Therapy helped me understand and somewhat mitigate the problem, but it’s not something I can ever be rid of, and that’s how it is for a lot of people who have an anxiety disorder.
