  • Myron Cook - A very hands on and educational geology channel

    USCSB - US Chemical Safety Board that recreates incident investigations and gives recommendations.

  • It would probably get much less hate if it was just called "Burger Cheese"

  • We just have to convince the conservatives that this would be a DEI program and it'll be a slam dunk case. /s

  • Similar thought to your first paragraph, now that the dust is settling. My best guess is the current US playbook is to risk most of the US soft power and take advantage of its current economic position to really bolster its hard power so the US is in a position to exert more direct force/coerce the rest of the world for what it wants and have more control over policy in other countries. If that's really the case then china is probably the biggest threat to that gamble as it's been catching up to or surpassing the US in a few industries recently. And if the gamble fails the economy sinks for a while and Europe or china passes the us as the global powerhouse.

  • A better angle might be that currently in the US capitalism is rarely actually scrutinized for the disadvantages it does have. Capitalism is almost synonymous with America and people often see critiques of capitalism as an attack on the nation itself, even though most of them don't actually know the principles or characteristics of capitalism.

    It goes the other way too where people automatically think that characteristics of America are capitalist

    As an example a majority of Americans probably think that American politics and democracy is part of capitalism, or that the economy is pure capitalism.

    If people were more willing to critically evaluate capitalism without feeling attacked it could increase support for more worker friendly policies that are generally socialist in nature while still having a capitalistic foundation.

  • If I had to make business sense of this, it might be a pilot for eventual functions like a "sentiment injection" tool to really sway public opinion. With enough halfway believable accounts, not only does the site look more active, but companies/advertisers could pay Facebook to have the bots shovel opinions and products to users in a more overwhelming and coordinated approach than is currently possible with external bots.

  • You are quite dug in on the presidential election, but do keep in mind you are usually also voting for local/county positions on that same ballot, where one vote often makes the difference and has a more immediate impact on your interests

  • By almost all metrics Ukraine has been about to lose since day one

  • Yeah, personally playing games at 30fps feels disruptively laggy at least for the first few minutes. 60 is good, but the jump to 120 is night and day. I was shocked that going from 120 to 240 was just as noticeable an improvement as the last to me, especially when so many people say they don't notice it much. Hard to find newer games that give me that much fps though.

  • No, what monitoring in this context means is to be made aware of each other's porn INTAKE, or how much is being consumed and when, which the software is said to do. Nothing is suggesting they seek porn out to share content with each other, just that they are alerted when the other accesses porn.

    I'd bet youre right about the alternative devices though.
