  • Who exactly is still buying these things? Fool me once, shame on you, but fool me one hundred times...

  • The System Shock remake was really good, and that went through dev hell also, so it's completely possible.

  • It's so great that Republicans made regulating AI illegal. /s

  • The article doesn't say the group has anything to do with Israel, though, other than being of the same religion as Israel's government. Even the title specifies that they are French Jews.

  • There's probably some important context the article leaves out. Maybe French law requires companies to not align with political groups or something.

  • Even in an authoritarian regime, popularity still matters. Political scientists estimate that governments are in danger when at least 3.5% of the population is in the streets. The No Kings protests reached about 2%, and his popularity is still going down. If he were smart, he'd be extremely worried about that.

  • Yeah, but he also killed the guy who killed Hitler, so it balances out.

  • Source? Some googling turned up nothing like this.

  • Also the Onion. They're supposed to be satirical, of course, but reality is so insane right now that they're basically just reporting on the actual news in a comedic way.

  • Women can get pregnant so there is the possibility of an affair pregnancy, STDs work differently for men and women social and emotional standards are different.

    Except for the social part to an extent, none of that is inherently true. Trans people obviously complicate a lot of those assumptions, but also cis people can have their personal issues that diverge from the commonassumptions. I would guess the idea is to encourage treating people as unique individuals rather than as stereotypes.

  • The fundamental basis of conservatism is that freedom means having power over other people. Therefore they believe that any attempt to extend freedom to others means taking it away from them.

  • Eradication =/= extermination. The latter means zero left alive on the whole planet. The fact that the US stopped at clearing screworms from only North America while leaving them alive in the south (and Cuba) always left the possibility of this happening.

  • This is really bad. The US should have put in the funds to exterminate this thing while we still had a functioning government. I dislike the article's focus on prices as the main consequence here. Screwworms are fucking horrifying, and they can affect humans, too.

  • Sorry, Harvard is a stronghold of the left now? What do words even mean?

  • "You can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride." This has been a police intimidation and harassment tool for a long time, now being openly deployed by the US president against his political opponents.

  • This is something that will probably be lost in the churn of the news cycle because most people don't understand it, but it's actually really bad for the US government. The reason this country has been able to get by with such a large debt until now was that the interest was kept low by the fact that lending money to the US was seen as very safe. A change in that status quo could bring the whole house of cards crashing down with calamitous results.

  • Watch Trump give lucrative disaster response contracts to private companies owned by his biggest donors. Maybe Musk will dump a bunch of cybertrucks on the government somehow.

  • Wait, has Ben & Jerry's always been this based?
