I gave up reading because of the videos showing. Am I the only person who can't read anything while there's an animation on the screen? Is my brain fucked up?
But how can you actually walk in these? Bow knees? I need a video to see how its possible since the bulbs would block each other with every step.
Residents worry about the project’s dust, the potential spread of Valley Fever from fungal spores that could be stirred up and their properties losing value. The project’s water assessment found it could result in a deficit of 300 acre feet of groundwater—typically enough for 600 California homes—meaning more water would be coming out of the local aquifer than goes in.
They're not trying to stop it but they want negative impacts mitigated. This seems reasonable.
The article says he was collecting weapons for a zombie apocalypse, in this case crazy seems the most likely explanation. Pointing this out is not at all the same as saying you must be crazy if you do something violent.
I googled that

Is this fire serpent/ weapon of the sun an Aztec dragon?
Did you mean, why not criminalise them?
No, I was referring to the attitude of the children involved. This article describes it well, they see no reason to stop what they are doing, they think it's fun. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/nations-heart-is-breaking-again-in-alice-springs-tiny-menaces-helpless-police-and-no-solution/news-story/993f4002a59f6d4324012f11ab9252c5?amp
It is ironic that research tends to be limited to what people in more affluent regions believe about climate change and climate justice. Citizens of frontline i.e. climate-vulnerable countries, are largely confined to being the subjects of climate discourse, as opposed to active participants. The unbalanced discourse matches the inequalities that characterize climate change itself.">
How is this ironic? Climate change is due to the actions of people in more affluent regions, it is the actions and attitudes of these people that need the most change, whilst people in vulnerable countries are subject to climate changes they have little to no effect on. Unfortunately many of those affluent people refuse to take any responsibility, instead claiming to be subject to the whims of big business and the super rich, as opposed to active participants. Climate justice is a nice thought but it's not going to happen.
Amusing that they label these things traffic 'calming', in my experience drivers become far less calm when dealing with obstructions designed to slow them down and add difficulty. It reminds me of the ostensibly calming music companies play while you're on hold for an hour. Why call it calming? It's about control is it not? I find the terminology disingenuous and almost designed to irritate. We're going to calm things down by making things difficult and slow, sure.

Services do.exist, and it's bold of Drag to assume these children aren't already exposed to alcohol, cigarettes or other addictive drugs, this could even be happening in their home, along with violence and crime. It could even be part of abuse they experience at home.
Abusive homes are inhumane, prison is inhumane, child separation is inhumane, forced rehab and therapy are inhumane. I've known a couple of car stealing 11 year olds and they just thought it was fun, they slso knew there would be no consequences, so why not?
The txt is english but the keyboard and other stuff is German, weird.
It only surveyed people who don't have children. Says on the left 'Do not have children, n = 1300'. This result says nothing about the general intention to have children as those with children in each age group are excluded. Naturally, as people age, the number who still think they're going to have children goes down.
Selected quotes:
Well before you were born, you were known to the algorithm. You’ll realize that images of yourself are a kind of social currency. An unobtrusive bracelet or smart watch tracks your performance. Kids often tell him AI-enabled technologies are … creepy. It tells you when you’re near In-N-Out. Later on you realize that you were the only real human in that entire room. Everybody else was AI. You might be able to rent out each of your fingernails as an ad for social media. The home will finally be what Le Corbusier imagined: a machine for living in. What is the plan for tomorrow? They know ahead of time, even before you do, that you’re thirsty. Perhaps it’s better to let the toilet or the mirror do the tracking continuously. Faraway loved ones can visit by digital double.
But by now, maybe the agent is no longer your friend.
Maybe, at last, it is you.
If you have a digital twin, we hope it’s not a deepfake.
No thanks.
They want autonomous weapons and they want AGI to save us from climate change. I don't believe AGI will happen but they'll probably settle for faking something that fools the masses and lets them set the agenda. Then it's flame throwing robot dogs for everyone.
The instance structure conveniently groups people together and labels them. Stereotyping, bias and tribalism are the natural result.

This is making me really angry. They knowingly and willingly had sex with her without getting her consent because they didn't believe it was important enough. They had no problem with someone else speaking for her. This is part of what she is trying to bring attention to and you are pretending these men are victims. I am disgusted. Due diligence? Really? This is rape not a fucking business transaction. The fact that they could be so careless about her bodily autonomy and need no consent from her is damning of them and of you for defending them. Fuck everything about this.
It reminds me of that online cheating website that turned out to just be men getting scammed by fake accounts. They have it coming.

Former NBL player Tiny Pinder is sentenced to eight years' jail and will likely be deported over two violent sexual assaults.
Serial rapist given reduced sentence for having the cognitive level of a 14 year old boy. He has been a known rapist for decades but they will still let him out to do it again.

>In 1992, Pinder faced charges of attempted sexual assault. He was convicted by the Western Australian Supreme Court and was sentenced to 18 months' jail.[23][24] In the following year he was also found guilty of raping a 23-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl; the three offences had occurred between 1988 and 1990.[21] In 1996, he was sentenced to five years' jail for sexual offences involving a 15-year-old girl.[25][26] In 2001, he was acquitted in the New South Wales District Court on a charge of raping a 19-year-old woman the previous year.[27] In 2013, he was arrested on a charge relating to an alleged rape in 1987. He was cleared in August 2016.[28]
>In 2021, Pinder was arrested and charged with stalking a woman in Sydney. He was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment.[29] In April 2023, he pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault that occurred in November 2009 and March 2021.[21] In March 2024, he was sentenced to eight years prison for the two assaults.[20]

I'm middle aged and this has been stuck in my head for a couple of years now. Hauntingly beautiful.
Is this really about a change to maritime fuels? I'm genuinely curious because the change is extreme.
Saying Israel is committing genocide in its war with Hamas is like saying American and British forces committed it during their devastating campaign against the German city in 1945.
