Why are the women doing it? Power imbalance is probably a big factor.

Intent isn’t the same as what will happen, the law does prescribe what he must do, and if that violates his intent, so be it.
But it does mean he’ll presumably be on the lenient side of what he’s allowed to do, which means it’s very unlikely Trump’s going to jail as a result of this conviction. Unless he ends up with a negative recommendation from the probation officer, which seems unlikely from what has been said publicly. But I wouldn’t say “absolutely not” yet.
Anarchist? Monarchist? Georgist?
I’m similar except I use Debian, and I just bought a cheap SSD for my gaming computer, knowing that Windows 10 will be well out of service before I retire it. I’ve done a couple of OS transitions before, and I figure not dealing with partition editing or losing files is worth what a 256GB SSD costs in 2024.
I started with Ubuntu, and left because I don’t like how they run things; I think it’s worth trying a few more distros if you haven’t already, to find one you vibe with. Unless you want a project (which some do), finding one that works with your hardware, supports a DE you like, etc is a good time investment imo.
I mean, the problem isn’t the existence/obviation of jobs, but what we do next when it happens. If the people whose jobs are automated away are left out with no money or employment, that’s a serious problem. If we as a society support them in learning something new that puts their skills to good use, and maybe even reduce the expected working hours of a full-time job to 35 or 32 hours a week, that’s an absolute win in my book.
Or does content only die when it’s recycled for the last time?
10% everywhere would be a decisive victory for Biden. Polls would only need to be off by about 1.2% to flip Texas in that case, which isn’t entirely implausible.
Not them, but for all the negative consequences we’ve seen as a result of his policies, Reagan is my pick for the worst US president. So many problems in modern America trace back to things he broke.
We don’t have enough hindsight to say how Trump compares for sure, it’s possible he’ll end up having been worse, even if he isn’t elected again, but only time will tell.
Yup. Authoritarians often criminalize their opponents to prevent them from running, like Putin did to Navalny. Even if banning felons from office could have positive effects, it’s also a dangerous flaw that bad actors in power could exploit to maintain their power.
I’d watch those folders, especially the UPLOAD_LOCATION, when it’s uploading. Are they being written? Do they persist, or are they being deleted? See if you can upload a single image through the web client, and observe that behavior too.
the very foundation of an abortion ban is an assumption that a woman’s body does not belong to her. Abusive men agree.
I’m at a loss for a phrase that expresses the opposite of “unlikely allies” correctly. That I’m surprised, not that they’re working together, but that it took them so long to do openly
I see what you’re saying. As an isolated event it’s pretty meh. Maybe it sucks for the two people who used it.
In a sense, Musk was betting that Twitter’s API was undermonitized, and by raising the price, he’d make more money than he’d lose in people leaving the platform. He bet Twitter’s relevance against some money. Yeah, not a lot of people used it on Switch, but every rejection of his bet, that Twitter isn’t worth the price, hurts Musk’s bottom line. And it’s kinda on him; Nintendo isn’t defying him, he was just wrong.
A couple of speed tests will give you most accurate results if you really need them. fast.com tends to estimate my speeds a bit higher than ookla or Google’s tests, but they’re all clustered within about 5Mbps.
One outlier in either direction would also be an interesting result, but I have yet to observe that.
If the gym won’t let you cancel your membership, this is certainly a way of handling it.
Because nobody buys them? I have a reasonably nice 1080p60 dumb TV, and when I decide I want to upgrade, I’ll be looking at 4k (or maybe 8k) signage displays. Being part of an app ecosystem at this point is a design defect on a TV, and the superior product costs more, so fewer people buy it.
I also suspect the usable life of a smart TV is a lot lower, to the point that paying twice as much for a signage TV may not equate to twice the price in the long run. Fewer parts outside the panel that can slow down or fail entirely
To me the question is whether the result of what you’re doing makes the world around you better or worse. Would the people living in your place be better off if you were out of the equation? Then you’re a bad landlord.
If you’re making money from providing labor for the people who live in a place you own, and they’re paying your costs to do so, I think there’s a case for that being a reasonable occupation to hold. If there’s an issue with it, it’s not my highest priority, and there’s definitely some value in flexible housing stock for people.
If your goal is passive income, or you’re making money from owning housing and denying that ownership to people who need a place to live, then you’re behaving as a parasite, and I think it’s reasonable for people to give you an amount of respect proportional to that.
An authoritarian regime putting my ideology into force would be self-dismantling, which is probably a contradiction in terms.
Personally, I’m not just concerned with some set of policies, but the process by which policy changes occur. I don’t want to see society hit some point of improvement and stop, I want to see continuous improvement. A dictatorship will inevitably regress when it no longer has a benevolent dictator, which really isn’t compatible with my goals for how society should be ordered, or how power should be distributed.
Also pre-grated cheese has anti-caking agents, so it does things like not melt as well. A rotary grater and block of cheese can get you a better experience for a bit less money, and just a bit of work.
In addition to cheddar, a block of whole milk low moisture mozzarella for making pizza is excellent
I mean, while it isn’t true whether these are likely voters, registered voters, adults, etc. and there were polling errors in 2020, it’s definitely possible that if the election were held today, Trump would win. RCP leans a bit conservative, and are probably overestimating Trump, but it might not be enough to change the outcome.
That said, it’s probably true that a few percentage point swings in a few key states could move the election back towards a Biden win. Six months enough time, but it’ll take work to get there.
There’s no option to fix major issues on the ballot, and there may never be, but we can slow them from getting worse, and express ourselves politically outside of voting
It’s very easy to make digital copies of physical media. The resulting copy is likely to be as high quality as you can find, and as portable as any digital copy can be. Pop it in a folder and point Jellyfin at it, and it’s available anywhere.
It’s also the easiest legal way to get a good digital copy.
