I don’t think this is a particularly good take. Inclusivity IS much more important today than it was to people even 10 years ago. The real issue is that being woke is GOOD! It’s crazy that people have twisted it around, like shutting our eyes to the world’s problems (being “asleep”) is somehow the right way to be.
That person is on a mastodon instance
Hmm yes because crossing legally is so easy
The geographical argument for Russia wanting to take Ukraine is nonsense BECAUSE of the nuclear threat. Having a physical buffer zone or whatever is complete nonsense in an era where anyone who poses a real existential threat can simply be nuked out of existence and start the apocalypse. A few thousand kms of extra land does exactly zilch to change the calculus for the West starting a war with Russia. Russia wants Ukraine because it wants to make more money, and no other reason.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie, but wasn’t the woman in charge of the humans pretty dang villainous? She had a motive, sure, but was pretty unreasonable in the face of evidence she was doing harm to everyone
I enjoy the idea that some shitass mason hated whatever king hired him, built all the stairs as quickly and poorly as possible, and then to save his ass later had to be all “oh hmm yes the stairs? That’s a feature actually” and somehow it winds up catching on
Weird to segue directly from arguing that cluster munitions are illegal into claiming that the legality of weapons doesn’t matter, but okay
It’s way cuter if he’s kicking his stubby ol legs
depends on who theyre fucking
“Free speech wins again!” Jordan posted on X on Friday, calling the Observatory part of a “censorship regime.”
Politician bullies an independent academic research team into silence and crows about how that’s a win for free speech. Jesus fucking christ.
Yeah this seems common. I had a friend who grew up with parents who alternated between English, Portuguese, Italian, and French, and he told me he wound up not being able to speak at all until he was over 2 years old. It didn’t affect him badly later on, and he always insisted it was worth it
I know he’s a liar. But lying about those things can’t resonate with his supporters the way this could. This was almost a core campaign slogan, it’s a downright meme. A denial that he supported it ought to be a much more obvious lie than the others
This is a new tier of cognitive dissonance, even for Trump. I mean he literally got crowds chanting “lock her up!” Hopefully this is the icing on the cake of his felony convictions and gets a few more people to break out of the cult.
I’m no expert either but as I understand it, the core service they are most well known for is protection against DDOS attacks. By routing traffic first to Cloudflare before sending it to the intended destination, it can try to check to make sure that whatever it’s routing isn’t coming from a botnet or whatever.
Just as dumb? I’d argue they’re far dumber, that’s part of why they’re sociopaths who’ll do anything for a larger pile of money
Holy shit
yeah but the ncr includes regular surface dwellers too. probably the idea is more like that of the enclave in fallout 3; wipe out all the “mutants” and repopulate from there
The little coal guys from spirited away are real!
It is happening now but evolution takes a long time. If there were a ton of adaptations that happened in the next 10,000 years, that would be incredibly fast on an evolutionary timescale
There’s validity in going after something that specifically symbolizes Elon rather than a random gas guzzler. Though electric cars are (debatably) less harmful than regular ones, Elon has done a lot of work in setting back even better solutions by promoting them over things like trains.
Also he sucks for a million other reasons but he’s definitely a sort of wolf in sheep’s clothing when it comes to environmentalism.
