  • UK studies pricing plan for selling NHS patient data

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, the EU is planning something similar called the European Health Data Space. Mandatory data sharing, patients cannot opt out to everything.

  • $500 Billion Industry That Causes Not Only The Loss Of Freedom But Also Increases Anxiety

    Jump

  • That's obviously not what this article is about. Notice how I said "above a certain age"?

  • It doesn't. Self-hosted open source surveillance is still surveillance. Constantly monitoring your children (above a certain age) is still helicopter parenting.

  • The "scientific context" is literally written by a self-proclaimed god (who is totally not trolling). Do you doubt the divine scripture?

  • Mass sexual frulestration

    Jump

  • Very well said. Just wanted to clarify that the notion that men should always be strong and heroic is still toxic masculinity. Strength shouldn't be celebrated for its own sake, what matters is how it's used. Appreciate the men who struggle against anxiety and social expectations to still do what is right.

    I know that's probably what you mean, but that last paragraph gave me flashbacks.

  • UK government having a public consultation on the future of transport. Share your ideas directly to the government!

  • Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans

    Jump

  • It would be cool if he did this as a protest in solidarity with marginalized groups against an unfair rule. Except that:

    • He never even claimed that was his motivation.
    • He was underperforming during the tournament.
    • The dress code explicitly allows for "national or traditional dress".

  • Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans

    Jump

  • Magnus knows that's not how the rules work. And they didn't suddenly whack him with a disqualification, he withdrew himself after being told to change. In his own words "fine, then I'm out. Like, fuck you"

  • Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans

    Jump

  • A player broke the rules, which have been consistently applied for a long time, and refused to change after his first warning. Do you expect FIDE to make an exception just because he's the top contender?

  • Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans

    Jump

  • Come on now. This really isn't a high bar and it only applies to the top tournaments. They will allow any legwear that is not jeans. Literally every professional sports has some form of equipment requirement and chess is probably one of the cheapest.

    If you think world championship contenders can't be expected to afford normal trousers, what do you think athletes spend on running shoes, baseball gloves and ice skates?

  • Elon Musk pens German newspaper opinion piece supporting far-right AfD party

    Jump

  • No respectable newspaper would platform a foreign billionaire trying to meddle in an election. The fact that the owners pushed this through, overruling their own staff, should be a clear sign to everyone: billionaires buy up news organizations to influence the population and undermine democracy. Even if the individual journalists have the utmost integrity, they will just get strong armed by upper management. The same thing happened with Bezos and the Washington Post.

  • Argentina’s Milei marks one year in office. Here's how his shock measures are reshaping the economy | The Associated Press

    Jump

  • "Something must be done. Milei is doing something, therefore that must be done"

    See how that is a fallacy?

    I'm not sure what other options there were

    Argentina is the victim of decades of capitalist exploitation. There is no quick fix (no matter what the Wolverine-wannabe would have you believe). Cutting spending is probably part of the solution, but the distribution is crucial. Milei is mostly targeting the poor and selling out to foreign investors. That makes the numbers look good, but only benefits the rich.

  • It's sad to see people fall for this obvious scam. He's using vague, unsubstantiated promises to legitimize a massive robbery of the working class. Poverty and unemployment are rapidly growing while the rich get richer. There's no economic justification for this, it's just grift.

  • It's clear from Trump's first term that he is not constrained by "optics" or "precedent" at all. He already pardoned a large number of his allies for personal gain. He was always going to abuse the system regardless.
