  • Vulnerable people could 'come out worse' after stay in 72-hour detox facility, advocate says

    Jump

  • Also how many people would lose their job after missing three days due to no choice of their own? Or the income missed affecting their finances more than they can afford.

  • Zelenskyy’s grim choice: Take Trump’s peace deal or rely on flaky European friends

    Jump

  • ... As if Trump isn't the flakiest of flakes?

  • An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026

  • Whelp guess I'm not upgrading my PC to ddr5 anytime soon 😂

  • Rent falls across Metro Vancouver but some cities are bucking the trend | Urbanized

    Jump

  • I would also say that no one should have any more than 2 parcels of land, anymore gets taxed heavily to make renting not worth it.

    Businesses should also have a limit on how many properties they own. Shouldn't be able to create a Blackstone situation where they own a good portion of all properties in an area.

    Limit it by # of properties of hectares/acres in area.

  • Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy

    Jump

  • 29 months is too long??? I consider that the absolute minimum.

    If my device doesn't last at least 36 months I look for a new company. I aim for at least 48 months.

    I refuse to buy Samsung or Google devices anymore, since they definitely did not meet my 36 month criteria. They didn't even make it to 24. Google did at first with my Nexus 4 and I loved it but they shit the bed real quick after that.

  • ‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize it

    Jump

  • And then in a decade or two people will have started to use the word disabled with a derogatory meaning and we can no longer use that word either.

  • Imo idiot should be considered just as offensive to people who want to ban the word retard. It's pretty much got the exact same history and stigma connected to it. Although I'm sure there are some who also want to ban the word idiot.

  • Just gotta go to the bathrule

    Jump

  • I moved into a house which has one. I have no idea where to put my Kleenex box now.

  • Amazing

    Jump

  • No, whenever Trump is president years suddenly have 25 months in them. It did apply in 2020 but the phenomenon is back again.

  • Scientists grow mini human brains to power computers.

    Jump

  • I'm curious what a human brain would be like growing into being with absolutely no senses to inform itself about the world around it.

    No sight to let it know where it is or what it is.

    No sound to let it learn to communicate and think in orderly ways.

    No touch.

    No taste.

    No ability to interact with its surroundings.

    Yet all of the capability and potential of a regular person's mind.

    Would it be cruel to bring it into existence? Would it be able to experience negativity and pain and longing, confusion?

  • Bondi's Latest Press Briefing

  • Instead they will import you and you have to suffer living in America

  • The simple test that blew up the FTC's case against Meta

    Jump

  • I really wish it were illegal for social media to prevent users from viewing the website without an account. X and Facebook are still used by governments to post community informations but without an account you can't view it a lot of the time.

    Prevent stuff like commenting and voting and liking but at least let everyone view it.

  • Population Growth

    Jump

  • But also accessible abortion

  • New Zealanders are leaving the country in record numbers, mainly to Australia

    Jump

  • I mean, I think that's the exact same thing that's happened to every single English speaking country over the past 5-10 years (probably others but I'm only semi-familiar with English speaking ones.

  • ‘Jmail’ is like any other inbox, except this one has Jeffrey Epstein’s emails

    Jump

  • It works on so many levels!

  • Axios reveals text of peace plan: Ukraine to relinquish its territories permanently, Russia to receive amnesty

    Jump

  • So.... What's Russia gonna do if the US doesn't abide by that? Attack America and have all of NATO come down on them?

  • Axios reveals text of peace plan: Ukraine to relinquish its territories permanently, Russia to receive amnesty

    Jump

  • Even if they enshrine it in their constitution I imagine once peace starts almost all Ukrainians would be like "ya, let's rewrite our constitution and join NATO"

  • Fact check: Is Mamdani introducing Arabic numerals to New York schools?

    Jump

  • Eh, you don't need to know the entire history and reasoning behind numbers, just that the numbers we use are called Arabic numerals, which most people don't. The history is confusing, the fact that they are called Arabic numerals is not. It's just what they are.

    TIL Iran Has No Water Left, 28 Million People WITHOUT Water

  • Their God will save them any time now. All those years of oppressing women will surely pay off.
