The prime minister is meeting with his youth advisory board this week to hear its most 'pressing concerns,' with the aim of informing future policy decisions.
Reminds me of the time he said he’d change First Past the Post voting and then had a committee investigate possible alternatives. After a year or two the committee presented him with their report to which he ignored entirely, changed nothing, and never talked about it again.
I get the feeling this is just to give the impression that he cares.
I get that some instances use the domain + TLD to make a word, like lemm.ee or to an extent, sh.itjust.works. But I’ve seen so many TLDs I had no idea existed, like .world, .zone, .social, and yes .works as well....
So just because a living thing has a certain feature doesn’t mean that feature is advantageous. It simply means it doesn’t hinder reproduction. Dinosaurs in particular are also difficult to study since we really only have bones to go off of. Animals alive today often look nothing like their bone structure suggests so we might be thinking of dinosaurs all wrong.
From some googling, it seems scientists are guessing as the heads became larger, the arms became smaller. Their giant heads are thought to provide bone crushing jaw strength. Maybe their giant heads used up so much energy that maintaining complex limbs was too much. Another thought is that they ate in packs and limbs would get in the way while pack eating.
Facebook and TikTok are salivating at a chance to become the next Twitter. Both have rushed out Twitter like updates since Musk has been making terrible changes.
They already have. Only Roman Catholics really care what the Pope has to say. There are far more Baptist, Methodist, Evangelical, Pentecostal, and Presbyterian in the US than Catholics.
Specifically in the USA, but feel free to share your status quo. We live in the internet age, doesn’t that cut overhead with filing and make things cheaper?
This point can’t be understated. A main feature of a developed economy is a strong legal system, meant to handle business and property disputes. A strong legal system protects investments.
For example, Iran is a country with a ridiculous amount of natural resources, yet their primary exports are nuts and rugs. This is becuase they don’t have a great legal system (and also they have the dubious honour of being the most sanctioned country in the world). Their government does what they want, when they want. If that means they jail you and seize all your assets on some made up grounds, then that’s what happens. The legal systems in developed nations is designed to prevent this from happening. That’s why it exists.
No, the focus on CEO pay without talking about how much value the company as a whole has generated doesn’t make much sense. I couldn’t see it in the linked article, but this article claims Lowe’s had a net income of $97.05 billion in 2022. Splitting that equally amoung all employees means everyone makes $323,500. That’s a huge raise!
The massive profits generated by the company aren’t split equally. The vast majority of those billions earned is given to executives and shareholders or used to buy stock or just held in a vault so the company has a huge surplus of cash on hand. Except who was responsible for generating all those billions? The workers most responsible get compensated the least. That’s the issue. Executives at least work for the company, they deserve compensation from the value generated, but why do shareholders get so much when they never clocked in a single hour? This is where the real discussion lies.
Not an American either, but my understanding is the only thing that could prevent him from running is if enough state officials declare him ineligible under the 14th amendment, which bans people from holding office if they have taken part or aided in an insurrection against the United States. It’s pretty obvious he has, but will any state officials actually argue that? Probably not.
I think everyone is just hoping he doesn’t get enough votes.
Your books were also used to train many, many readers and writers.
I think you’re only getting downvotes for the rest of your post, because this argument is what AI companies use in court and it has worked so far. Fair Use allows using copyrighted materials for educational purposes. Training an AI is no different than training a university class of students.
Here’s the CEO of a company on national television showing off his company’s new packaging design. The instructions are to mess with you. Even CEOs can’t open their own damn products.
No, they’re all banned. Malaysia has a law that bans babies being given names that fall into any of the 22 categories on this list. For some reason they’ve grouped them into names that could cause legal issues (objectionable) and names that are seen as cruel (undesirable). They give some examples but it’s not an exhaustive list. If a name is ruled to belong in one of these 22 categories, it isn’t allowed.
Every country has really different naming laws so they’re neat to read about.

Isn’t Facebook still Facebook? Meta is the parent company that owns Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, Oculus, Onavo, Beluga, and about 90 other tech companies. They do just like Google, or Alphabet, and buy out every tech startup that has any chance of success to ensure they never have competition.
I feel this is a representation of 2 sides of one coin or rather that thees two have similar objective but go about trying to reach it in their own very different ways, one is violent and the other is peaceful all tough they might not necessarily agree with one or the other’s way of reaching the end goal, they agree on the...
There are thousands of sci-fi novels where sentient robots are treated terribly by humans and apparently the people at Boston Dynamics have read absolutely zero of them as they spend all day finding new ways to torment their creations.
Musk has said repeatedly his goal is to create an app for everything that is called “X”. He is attempting to strong arm twitter users into doing everything through twitter and never needing to navigate to another site. He is delusional.
There’s a good chance it’s a joke, like one of those “Would I slap my mother for $10million? I would slap my mother, but I wouldn’t take the $10million because the experience I would gain would be worth infinitely more than that” posts.
Yes, I don’t like how immigrants are being blamed for yet another problem. Immigrants aren’t the reason nobody is building affordable housing. Immigrants aren’t the reason mega corporations like BlackRock are buying up every parcel of real estate they can get. Immigrants didn’t cause the housing market collapse of 2008.
Immigrants want to make a better life for themselves and their families in our great country and they’re willing to work hard and use their skills to do it. Hard working labourers aren’t the enemy. Once again, it’s executives, brokers, and shareholders.
