NOT SURE WHO TOOK THE BRUNT OF THAT ONE!

I meant because it’s sexualized (at least imo)

I don’t like the inclusion of the child in this

I’m not a capitalist but glad the free market regularly aligns with DEI. Thought the company I work at would back off a bit to the news coverage of outraged hysterics but they’ve doubled down.

All I heard is “Wesa give yousa una bongo”

I dunno. I read it after seeing your comment and it suprised by your assessment. Black eyes take forever to heal. They have to see that every day in the mirror for weeks while also trying to deal with the trauma of the attack.

I think it’s great they walked away, but then again, doesn’t seem like the kind of situation where it’s a group of people looking to maim or kill

So I had no context for how big that is and why it’s newsworthy

To put the sheer size of the 8 GW solar farm in perspective, the three largest solar farms in the world by capacity are China’s Ningxia Tenggeli and Golmud Wutumeiren solar farms, with a capacity of 3 MW each, and a 3.5-GW solar farm outside Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital.

Tho still didn’t understand the scale until I looked up a stat on nuclear

Nuclear energy has been powering the U.S. grid for the past 6 decades and produces around 1 gigawatt of power per plant on average.

Then again, I thought, maybe nuclear power might be less productive than I think it is, so looked up a list of biggest power plants in the world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_power_stations#Top_20_largest_power_producing_facilities

• Number 1 is Three Gorges Damn at 22 GW
• there is an 7.96 GW nuclear power plant in Japan
• but 8 GW would be the 10th biggest power plant in the world

Then I learnt that that nuclear power plant has been out of action since like 2017. It’ll soon(?) be active again but for now the record for biggest nuclear is held by a 7.4 MW power plant in South Korea

In conclusion, my ADHD medications have worn off and I should go to bed

Uptime

It’s my goto daydream when I’m rawdogging a boring situation

Security by obscurity

Fingers crossed Vulcan can be what they aim for it to be. Tho seems like everyone is shitting the bed in one way or another

jfc what kind of sacrifice do I need to make to what ancient diety to get him to step down?

I think we gotta have a conversation as a society about when the hand over the reins to the kids. I’m in my 30’s and glad life expectancy peaked cause seeing the gerontocracy from this end is horrifying.

Why is racist in qoutes?

The comment section is wild. So many people thinking that the Japanese government is somehow late to the floppy free party. Clearly they have no idea how dire the IT infrastructure situation is for the most critical systems of the world’s major super powers

If you think the US government is floppy free, let alone capable of going floppy free in the next 5 years, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya

Oh, great, it was in Gatorade until 2013 and a bunch of shit before then. We are all going to die of cancer

I take no shame in the schadenfreude I experienced in hearing this

The conclusions that OP made about that study is quite interesting to me personally cause I experience both sides of it. There are certain content warnings that I take note of and decide if I have the mental energy to consume the content healthily. Sometimes I’m completely fine, sometimes the warning has me on edge till it happens, and sometimes I decide to nope out for now.

Tho with a young teen in my house, it’s helpful to know if an episode of something is going to go into places that will mess with them or if it’s completely age in appropriate. If something has an 18+ rating for an episode but only has profanity and gore as the advisory, I’m fine with my 15 year old watching it. If it’s got nudity, sexual violence, eating disorder etc, then it’s going to be a pass (or at least screened or having a follow up convo).

Considering they share in a lot of the content I’m consuming, and the majority of my time is spent watching internet content rather than produced media. It’s one thing for Netflix to have an age rating and content warnings but I really appreciate warnings on YouTube video since it’s really hard to predict what’s going to come up.

I wonder if there would be significant differences if a wider range of content was included. For example: Books, websites, games, streams, YouTube, movies, series, music, podcasts.

Based on nothing but wild speculation, I think music would be at the bottom of effectiveness and books at the top.

“Just don’t look at it if you don’t like it,” shrugged Simon…

One of Simon’s friends, Jay Cooper, said, “I saw the thing before I knew not to look. If I’d known it was there, I wouldn’t have looked. But then I’d have still known he’d done it, which is the real issue here, if you follow me.

I really like this. Suprisingly salient

So what you are saying is that biden needs to pull the trigger on an assassination?
