  • What was the most cartoonish moment of your life?

    Jump

  • I once had a group drive by in a van, and harass me and my friends as they passed, then, maybe 30 minutes later, come around again, slow down as they were driving past, open the sliding door, and started throwing fish at us. Like whole dead fish.

  • A nearly comical reminder that corporations aren't your friend.

    Jump

  • This case has awful optics but it isn't as insane as it is presented here. First, it's just resolving things by arbitration not dismissing the suit completely. Second, Disney didn't own the restaurant in question, it was on their property, and they promoted it on their website. Its reasonable that an arbitration agreement for something like disney+ could be extended to the use of their website.

  • Some YouTube channels for children are uploading obscene videos.

  • Never doubt the impact bad incentives can have on a large group of individual actors.

  • bsky doesn't have an algorithm. If that was on their feed they followed the person or were looking at a relevant feed.

  • There was absolutely a sweet period around when indy games were taking off and after game guides had fallen out of favour, where secrets like this in medium sized games (or huge indy hits) could remain for years.

  • Biomass power station produced four times emissions of UK coal plant, says report

    Jump

  • Sure of the first point I guess? I'm not some huge advocate of this technology, I'm just saying it's not an apples to apples comparison where you can simply say its 4x worse.

    On the second point, no. It takes 10s or 100s of millions of years for coal/oil to form. And most of the stuff we mine/drill for was formed from trees before bacteria/fungus evolved ways to break down cellulose, so dead trees just piled up. Its plausible that its never removed from the carbon cycle unless we are the ones to put it back where we got it from. It will certainly not happen on human time scales.

  • NYC's ice cream museum is sued by a man who says he broke his ankle jumping into the sprinkle pool

    Jump

  • Eeeh. Its reasonably to try I guess, but looking at the examples, its cherry picked promotional materials where the words jump and dive were used as swimming related puns for going to the museum. None of them were literal advertisements about jumping into the sprinkle pool.

  • Biomass power station produced four times emissions of UK coal plant, says report

    Jump

  • The way its currently operating seems highly inefficient, but the point about biopower stations is that they aren't introducing more carbon into the carbon cycle. These trees would have died eventually and returned to the carbon cycle naturally, they are just controlling the process for human power. Imagine if it was running off of a tree farm that was geographically next to the power plant, for instance.

  • Northern Ireland is on the Isle of Ireland, but part of the UK. Ireland has a fraught history with the UK. Look into "the troubles" if thats a new term to you.

  • If I'm reading things correctly, this issue isn't the latch failing, it's that it's not properly closed after being opened, something that should be detected by software but isn't because of a deformation in the latch. Of course I have no idea if they are just lying.

  • 'Kamala-mania' also catching on in Europe

  • I'm Canadian not European, but I think its nearly impossible to overstate how much the US's allies don't want Trump reelected.

  • Not all people with ADHD show the exact same behaviours. Executive dysfunction is the key one. If you find yourself switching between getting lost in tasks, unable to change what you are doing even when you know you should and being unable to focus on tasks, constantly having your focus jump between different things, that is the core symptom of ADHD.

  • priorities rule

    Jump

  • They aren't actually round. Look at the edges on her right breast against the dark background compared to how round her left breast looks. The mesh itself is quite angular still (though perhaps not as bad as Lora Croft), but the shader is using the colour's attached to each vertex to create a gradient that gives the impression of a smooth surface.

  • Jon Stewart Reacts to Trump’s Assassination Attempt: “We Dodged a Catastrophe”

    Jump

  • Trump has an amount of media savvy to him which matters a lot in popularity contests. He's also incredibly intellectually lazy and unwilling to put in the work to get things done. The signs of this are all over his first presidency and a matter of public record.

  • I don't get the outrage, this is how consent works to the right wing

    Jump

  • While I agree there are a couple weird points, its nowhere near the level of suggesting it wasn't an assassination attempt. We can wait for more information before suggesting things like this.

  • Democrats worry Biden press conference leaves them in 'purgatory'

    Jump

  • It's hard to compare apples to apples because of a change in the way things were measured, but by best estimates Biden got a comparable uncommitted vote share to Obama in 2012.
