Russia is probably also egging them on thinking it’ll serve as a distraction speed bump for them to sneak in something that’d otherwise be on the more provocative side.
Saw a story about a wedding ring where instead of a diamond the ring was jeweled with the couple’s birth stones fit together into the shape of a heart, which honestly I think is WAY better and probably WAY cheaper too.
Personally I think not enough attention is paid to how community atomization and sprawl, and the near elimination of the third place in America, has fostered a crisis of loneliness.
Young men chronically have no outlets through which they can socially interact with women. The only place it happened was at school and maybe some extracurriculars if they were especially social.
Society unconsciously brushes this crisis off with “well the real friends that matter are the ones you make in college anyways!” Ignoring how that doesn’t help guys that don’t have higher study in their life plan, or the fact that learning to properly socialize is kinda the point of those grade school friends you’ll probably lose touch with in adulthood.
All that was the case even BEFORE the pandemic hit, now even school’s been atomized, granted, rightfully so in the circumstances, with classes going virtual and leaving students in a situation where the Internet is the only place left in the world where they can learn any social skills, and that’s where the damned redcaps and chuds swoop in to prey on their insecurities.
Someone still has to know how to query the AI for it to spit out the code that actually does what we want it to.
The only way current AI models would gain the abilities you described in any practical sense is if they joined forces with the neuroscientists to invent a brain implant that would allow a human brain to exploit the advantages of human intelligence and artificial intelligence models while shoring up the weaknesses of both.
Ok so a wave is the physical expression of energy transferring through a medium
Ocean waves are kinetic energy transferring from water molecule to water molecule, sound is high frequency waves moving through a transmissible medium in a way we can perceive as noise, etcetera.
“Light is a wave and a particle” refers to the fact that since photons travel in a probability wave until perceived, they are capable of being their own medium for electromagnetic energy.
This is why light can travel in a vacuum where other wave based phenomenon cannot, light comes with its own medium to travel through the void with.
Yes, and I’ll tell ya what, I ain’t yet felt like if I stayed over too long the locals were gonna start raising some planks and rope like I do if I even look like I’ve so much as thought of walking into the gas station store to get a bottle of water out in the countryside.
Those rural folks want me dead just for existing and what I believe about the world ain’t doing many favors to that inclination.
We already have that, it’s called the Hallmark channel and exists entirely to aggressively propagandize to rural stay at home moms to remind them that they made the good choice staying behind while everyone else went out looking for careers and how those city slickers are stupid because they can’t ride a horse, nevermind how Karen hasn’t even touched a horse, nevermind learned to ride, evaluation based on real facts is for those liberals and their critical gender theory!

I’m hoping we go full German on their asses so they have to run for their lives for the rest of their miserable lives if they want to escape being jailed for what they tried to do.
Because the urge to just have results tends to lead to scapegoating someone and locking them up without actually addressing any of the root causes of crime, IE the cases where people fall through the cracks of society and have no route to stability except by committing crime.
To truly wage war on crime you need to wage war on desperation, something that is nigh impossible to do for most conservatives who just want to solve the problem by building more jails to throw away any hooligans being too noisy.
Hollow bones and in some cases spaces within their bodies that were just filled up with air. The end result being that dinosaurs were a lot lighter than their frame would suggest, which is what allowed them to get so big in volume.
Mans gave me hell for needing accomodations, like I would have been in my rights to open a civil rights suit against the school for it.
Luckily the resolution was allowing me to earn the req by taking a climate risk assessment course.
BTW, same guy returned the first exam lecturing the class about how it was the single worst class score he had seen in his 20+ years of teaching, as if that wasn’t a condemnation of how he was doing his job.
Socialism is ownership by the workers who run the store. What you’re describing is a customer cooperative, which is just replacing bosses with “the people”
That’s state capitalism, there is an owner class and a worker class, the workers do not have the sole ownership of the shop, nor do they receive the full share of the fruits of their labor.

Some guy in parliament grabbed a Ukrainian who fought the Russians in WWII to make a show for Zelensky visiting parliament, without stopping to consider who the Ukrainians that fought the Russians in WWII were.
I feel like job boards should phase out companies that have a record of posting jobs they’re not actually hiring for because “HR says we have to before we can hire from within.”
Why is that even a policy to begin with‽ Hiring from within first instead of making a song and dance about “trying to” hire from without just feels like companies being allergic to internal promotion out of abject terror that an official new title will have to come with a raise or some other benefits that are still cheaper than getting some whole new worker.

A Parisian expert in French literature failed Quebec’s “French Proficiency Exam”, not to mention how other languages don’t get anything close to the pedestal treatment English and French get under Canada’s official bilingualism. One of Trudeau’s cabinet was subjected to quebecoise nationalist mistreatment because she spoke an indigenous language instead of French.
And BTW, I’m saying that as someone of Quebecoise descent, likely pure laine as recently as my grandmother.
Nah, I just think official language status is a violation of free speech, and of the natural development and evolution of culture.
I mean just look at France and Quebec in contrast, motherland French and Quebecoise French are nearly separate languages from each other with how incomprehensible they can be to each other, and yet both Quebec and France have strict prescriptivist official language policies in place supposedly in the name of “preserving the French language.”
If there was any sort of naturalness to any of it they’d rigidly have maintained the same exact language with all the same linguistic conventions, and yet that has not happened at all, debunking the supposed entire point of this farce in the first place.
The only reason to maintain it at this point is that it excludes the lower classes from public office and official spaces, since they are the most likely to diverge from a prescribed cultural structure, and you can see that in Ontario where francophones raised riot when funds were beginning to be allocated for the language support of Indian and Chinese languages that actually had more speakers within Ontario than French did. It’s not about preserving a minority language, it’s about refusing the rights of immigrants to have their languages accommodated as well.
Boi you’re the one who just decided to go to bat for anti-immigrant, anti-indigenous, and anti-working-class official language statuses and unofficial taboos against monolinguals or “wrong” bilinguals in state representation.
Either that or you’re a dumbfuck who didn’t read the rest of the thread and decided you wanted to pop off anyways about some unrelated grievance completely separated from this conversation like the dumbfuck doing that would make ya, dumbfuck.

The compass was basically designed with the intention of saying “Libertarians good, everyone else bad!”
Because the opposite of Libertarian on the scale was Authoritarian, and before we had to remind people that that was indeed a bad thing to be, the idea was to try and convince people that anything that isn’t a libertarian, by extension, anyone who isn’t part of the libertarian party of the US, must be some kind of authoritarian.
