Oh so you have seen it and fully understand it then. Got it. Thanks for your contribution.

No, it’s not the same thing. When most Christians, or governments in countries with majority Christian population, hear about priests raping kids, they are disgusted by it and are 100% ok with punishing the offender.

When Muslim countries hear about the above, they think justice has been done. Obviously the girl should have just been a good little child sex slave and went along with whatever her husband wanted. The see shit like this as A-OK.

It’s a false equivalence to say these two views are the same.

Not to mention they usually count the weight of whatever they’re in too. See a big news story about the cops seizing tons of product at a port? Well they’re including the shipping container weight.

Iowa is pretty flat, it’s not hard to run cable across flat land. Try doing that in a mountainous area like Montana or Utah and it gets much trickier.

I’ll be entirely honest:

I am more afraid of calling attention to myself in public than I am of disease.

If I’m in a crowd and no one else is masked up, fuck it. I’d rather have COVID than be the only one sticking out.

where companies can’t sell an LLM product with copyrighted training data.

If an artist learns their technique from copying other artists until they are competent enough to produce their own original works, should they be banned from selling their original work or services? After all, they used copyrighted training data to gain the skills needed to produce said work and services.

Biiiiiiitch…

God, you’re so cool and edgy, bro! Bro, everyone loves when you shove politics into things, bro. Your hot takes are always so fucking on point, bro! I fucking love it!

The other day, bro, I was getting groceries and the cashier asked “paper or plastic?” and another bro behind me chimed in and said “OR sleepy Joe and fascist Kamala?!” and I creamed my fucking pants right there in the store.

Tell me more, bro. You got me so fucking hot, bro. Let’s go to a child’s birthday party and interrupt the happy birthday song by shouting about America’s foreign policy. They’ll be so fucking impressed, bro. And then we can make out over the birthday cake while we explain the failures of capitalism, bro.

God, I’m so hard now, bro. Please, bro. PLEASE! Make me cream myself, bro. Make me cream myself to the sounds of your hot fucking takes on the geopolitical climate, bro! Bro!

I feel like there’s a lot of variables here. I am making some assumptions here, but as an example, I don’t think the hospitals in Gaza would have things like multiple MRI’s or CT Scanners that you would find in more developed areas. Those things require a pretty large amount of power. I know a lot of hospitals in undeveloped regions often only have one, sometimes none at all.

I think the only thing that can give some perspective is how big the diesel tanks are at the hospital. How much does 300L fill them? If that’s like a quarter or less of their total capacity, then yea, that’s not enough. But if that fills them by over half, then I kind of get it. You can only deliver so much at a time if you don’t want trucks of fuel parked outside the hospital, which just seems like a bad idea for many reasons.

Say Mexico was starving. Say aid was sent to them again and again but every time, the Mexican government snatched a large chunk of it up and hoarded it. Say then that the Mexican government decides to attack the US and the US cut off aid. The Mexican government still have huge stocks of food and supplies from the years of aid that was meant for the people, but now no new aid is coming in.

Is the US to blame for Mexicans starving? Or is it the Mexican government who refuse to distribute their stockpiles to their people?

I have seen a single tweet by some random guy and it’s being used as evidence that Israel officials are mad at her testimony. Fucking what? Is this the state of journalism?

They’re kids.

He didn’t see any marching bands. Everyone knows you can’t have a parade without a marching band.

I love throwing in hexbears’ face that they must really love Western freedom and how it allows them to be critical of it without fear of incarceration or death.

Not really UI, but news websites reporting on a video of something happening. They never just show the God damn video. They have a video player at the top which will show a high school presentation format of what the highlights from the video are, usually overlayed with a soft-spoken person reading out the text.

But the actual video? If you’re lucky, it’s buried 75% of the way down the page in an embedded tweet. Most of the time it’s fucking nowhere.

It would be off the charts in Chinese media too if they had things like free press and didn’t arrest their people for posting things critical of the Chinese government.

I’d start playing around with eugenics. Selecting for intelligence, strength, etc. Really see how far you could push humans as a species in just a few generations.

Also, child developmental experiments would be huge. There’s that one study that tried to see if raising a boy and a chimp at the same time would lead to the chimp acting human. It was stopped because the boy started acting like a chimp instead. What if it had continued?
