First past the post duopolies are not serious democracies.

Google search is still pretty good although definitely not what it was in its ad-free heyday. That you would go to the trouble of complaining about it is incomprehensible, given the plethora of credible alternatives.

Step 1. Make an AI that hoovers up content.

Step 2. When owners of content complain about privacy violations and copyright infringement, allay their fears. This AI is for the Good of Humanity.

Step 3. ???

Step 4. Profit.

Richest country in history cannot afford to maintain its infrastructure or healthcare for its citizenry.

Is water the best choice for a chemical fire?

Wehrmacht was not a Nazi organisation. Members were free to join the party but they were not under any obligation. The SS was an explicitly Nazi army but completely separate from the Wehrmacht.

German people were compelled to ‘support the troops’ in the same way that Americans are compelled to support their many illegal invasions of sovereign territory. The British continue to build and operate colonial era warships. The main difference is they were on the winning side, lmao, etc.

Around 1kg per month. I buy Lavazza red, it tastes good and strong for £10. 40mg lisdexamfetamine washed down with a quad espresso is a good way to start the day.

The nice thing about developing a skill is that it really puts the inter in an interview. The employer has to be polite and answer questions. They feel bad about wasting your time because you will walk away if they do that too much.

It’s not welcome news to hear he was a fascist but it doesn’t change his contribution to knowledge much less imbue the diagnosis of people with the condition.

Will we be able to fry ants with it?

The 133 real heros are the attackers that stop the attack by leaving the scene of the crime promptly to avoid incarceration.

Wind the window down, stomp the A-pedal and clutch pedal into the floor, turn the key until the engine roars, dump the clutch like it’s last season’s fashion. Savour the heady mixture of tyre smoke and unburnt fuel as you peal out into traffic.

Yahoo, the cowboys of journalism.

You are a gigachad that lives in the future.

I struggled with this most of my life without knowing why, always feeling like I never measured up. Since being diagnosed and treated at 47 it made a huge difference. I set reasonable boundaries at work and I’m blessed with a sympathetic manager. He gives me tasks that allow me to play to my strengths and make a positive difference in the workplace.

This is the home of car culture and it’s the reason the climate change movement has seen such little traction. 80% of this problem could be solved by a decent intercity rail network combined with light rail and cycle paths in the densely populated areas. Sometimes a car is the only solution but everything looks like a nail when your only tool is a hammer.

The same story with psychedelic research, the promising results of the years leading up to prohibition were terminated from one day to the next.

We know that these substances are the only medication that is efficacious for treatment resistant depression and indicated for many other disorders.

The problem, as ever, is conservatives making choices they don’t understand for everyone else.

I suppose nobody wants to be a loser but some people are pathological with it. I would imagine a typical scenario is some young guy has reached the limit of what he can achieve in a game and is still losing. They implement cheats for a while and then quit the game entirely because it still doesn’t scratch the itch and now it’s also become boring. Everyone loses.

Shitting turns out to be the most hazardous activity of the trifecta.

Chewing coca leaves seems to have a long history that continues to this day. I hear it’s common practice among long distance drivers of the present and it wouldn’t be surprising to find out that this has been the case ever since people made long transits on foot or horseback.
