TL;DR - I want surgeries so I can get rid of erotic sensitivity.

Thirty years ago today, Demolition Man first hit theaters, pitting Sylvester Stallone against Wesley Snipes in a crime-free but killjoy future where even minor vices have been declared illegal. The passage of time hasn’t quite elevated this sci-fi action comedy to the legendary status of Die Hard or Lethal Weapon, but it’s...
This is such nonsense. The gangs would be losing something like 90% or more of their money in the process. The only ‘proof’ stated in the article is a bunch of unverified claims by anonymous sources.
Workers in California will soon receive a minimum of five days of paid sick leave annually, instead of three, under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Wednesday....
There was a lot of discussion on that issue, and the general consensus was that he was right for doing so for several reasons. Finances (worker fund is something like 20B in debt), differences between unemployment and striking, some other stuff.
They went to the best universities in China and in the West. They lived middle-class lives in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen and worked for technology companies at the center of China’s tech rivalry with the United States....
You’re not really refuting the point though. It’s not that ‘Chinese people are untrustworthy’. It’s ‘Immigrants from China are vulnerable to blackmail and extortion by the CCP’.

Yeah, alt text / clicking as bonus content in comics needs to die, majority of mobile users will miss it. Just make it clearly visible. And the red button just seemed like a link to something else.
Or, I just right click and select sequential download so I can start watching a movie immediately. This logic of breaking everything down into the tiniest possible bits is how we ended up with ridiculousness like the lpad debacle.
Just because your use case is different from others does not invalidate all other use cases.
Also, there’s a reason no clients support sequential download as a default option. Having the very occasional download where I would like to start watching immediately upon starting the download is not going to break the swarm, or even affect it.
“Get ready to not freak out. On Wednesday, October 4 at 2:20 p.m. ET, every TV, radio and cellphone in the United States should blare out the distinctive, jarring electronic warning tone of an emergency alert.”
Yeah, like Naomi Wu, famous in the maker community, who tried her best to provide a nuanced view of China before pissing off the wrong group of people and going radio silent for good.
Thanks for displaying your ignorance. You obviously don’t know her story, because she’s never been openly critical of China. Rather, she’s always tried to be an ambassador for China within her community. Unfortunately, some of her actions pissed off the wrong people.
Westerners? I’m foreign-born Chinese, and you couldn’t pay me to enter China. My anti-ccp sentiments combined with their sense of ownership of all Chinese people regardless of birth nation means I’m probably on a low priority list somewhere.
For all the talk about how evil Google is, how many people are willing to put their money where their talk is, and pay for a decent competitor like Kagi?
I would love to see the “lost” footage mentioned in this article. Would make a great expanded mini series for some streamer. I know after this flopped that a four hour version ended up in syndicated TV, but this article mentions there’s like seven hours of cut scenes!
So I’ve been using Kagi for a while now as a paid search engine. I always thought it’s $25 a month plan was a little steep for search, but a) I got work to pay for it, and b) startpage nee google was getting less and less useful, and bing and whatever used it has… well been worse for me always....
That’s horrible if you ever become the victim of a targeted attack. Compromise your password once on some random shitty site and they’ve got access to everything.
It’s also quite likely that incidents involving password dumps will have crackers filtering the dumped data looking for exactly passwords like this.
The Biden administration is admitting Israel into a select group of countries whose citizens are allowed to travel to the United States without getting a visa in advance....
Just FYI, I can’t play FPS games without puking, but VR games work for me. The fact that my inner ear matches what I’m seeing in the game makes the difference.
Beatsaber obviously, alyx, in death unchained, superhot. Some of the notable ones I can think of offhand. There’s a pretty wide variety of genres though, so depending on if you like action, puzzlers, etc is going to matter a lot. It’s also been a year since I’ve played due to lack of space.
That’s pretty inaccurate. Like Google, news outlets could set automated policies regarding how much scraping and summarising was allowed. The publishers wanted to have their cake and eat it too.
I want surgery to lose erotic sensation because I hate sexual feelings. Advice greatly appreciated.
