  • Ocean spray emits more PFAS than industrial polluters, study finds

    Jump

  • I didn't think it was misleading, but when I read it I automatically thought the article was talking about the extent of pollution in the ocean, not what everyone else seems to be interpreting it as...

  • Boeing’s problems were as bad as you thought

    Jump

  • Assuming what he's saying is true, I still keep coming back to this line:

    “My boss said, ‘I would have killed someone who said what you said in the meeting.’”

    How does someone say something like that? And how is this something that he's never been called out for?

  • Nestlé adds sugar to infant milk sold in poorer countries, report finds

    Jump

  • Just a small but very important correction: the article says 6 grams per serving. Giving them two extra teaspoons with the small amount that babies take is much more significant.

    EDIT: A quick search said that one serving of baby food tends to be around 75g? That means that that's 8% of it being pure sugar.

  • Israeli Hostage Says She Was Sexually Assaulted and Tortured in Gaza

    Jump

  • Excuse me? Who are the original people in your book and which year is the baseline?

    I'm someone who doesn't have a huge stake in either side and still this take astounds me.

  • now that gog-games.to for all intents and purposes kicked the bucket, are there any other sites providing gog installers for direct download?

    Jump

  • Yeah, kinda puts paid to the idea that piracy is about sustainable, non-DRMed software for all when the one company whose niche is ensuring that such resources are available is being undermined like this.

  • What if public libraries...

    Jump

  • You're the one who's disqualifying people from saying what libraries look like because they don't share your common experience. Have a little self-awareness.

  • What if public libraries...

    Jump

  • Why I think it's gatekeeping:

    You're essentially implying people haven't been in libraries by your last sentence if they haven't seen what you've seen. That's gatekeeping, like it or not.

    EDIT: In case it isn't clear, what you said was essentially:

    "You're not a library-goer because [reasons]."

    That's gatekeeping, my person.

  • What if public libraries...

    Jump

  • I do spend my time in libraries, thank you very much :) Didn't expect there to be gatekeeping on libraries, but here we are.

    And a big part of such activities is either that they're cordoned off and airgapped (and are done on select timings which are telegraphed way ahead of time) or are themselves quiet. Drinking and socialising to me don't come under that same category. I've been to a library next to a board game shop and been struck by the difference in noise level and distraction there, so if it comes down to what the OP is actually suggesting, I'm skeptical it won't intrude on others' needs for a quiet, private place.

  • What if public libraries...

    Jump

  • If by "engage in public life" they mean being quiet and not interrupting others' quiet time then sure.

    To me it sounds like people want another public space that isn't a library. Once libations enter the picture it also feels like it's not always going to be a safe place.

  • Reality Shattered

    Jump

  • Wait, if you're a Republican and you're admitting that Republican politicians don't have critical thinking ability, then why are you still voting for having them run a country and affecting the livelihoods of millions (billions) of people?

    If the only Republican policies you're supporting are benign ones (as a non-American, I don't know which those are), are they worth all the ones that oppress and take away the rights of others?

    And if you're a Republican but not a fan or voter of the Republican party as it stands, then maybe you need to reconsider what your definition of a Republican is, because Republicans themselves today are defining themselves in ever-bolder terms.

  • Small American towns seeing some success with disbanding police forces

    Jump

  • The part about sheriffs scares me as someone not well-versed in American affairs because I read previously that some sheriffs don't believe that federal laws should apply to them and that could be good, I guess? But could also be really bad.
