The root of it is transphobia because before the Olympics started, they predicted that because trans athletes are allowed like they have been for over 20 years, they’ll dominate every event despite that not happening before and nothing having changed recently. Since that didn’t happen, because admitting that they were wrong is very clearly not an option, they accuse cis athletes that they deem not sufficiently feminine of being trans. People who don’t really follow what’s going on but take the right wing position by default believe them, and it reinforces their biases, so it works as propaganda despite a complete lack of basis in reality.

I wouldn’t trust an Adolf that didn’t change his name by 1940.

What puts more lives at risk, protests or the massive global famine that the climate is rapidly headed towards causing?

The IRS won’t report you unprompted, but the FBI can get it from them, at which point you’re fucked either way. If you reported it, they have additional evidence for existing charges, if you didn’t, they add tax evasion to the list.

I remember how people used to joke about the second page of Google results being a desolate wasteland where no one ever looks, now I just instinctively scroll down a bit because I know the first page of results is going to be trash.

Illegal? Absolutely. Will they see any consequences for it is a different matter entirely, unfortunately.

That would be an entirely new level of unethicality. Not only does it fly in the face of preservation, it’s a stab in the back to the developers who trusted them to publish their game. Imagine having made a game that you’re proud of and want to share with people, but you’re not allowed to sell it or even give it away because the megacorp that promised to do the business side of things and let you focus on development turned around and decided it will be buried forever.

Because the laws are being pushed on a religious basis, not a rational one.

This is such a frustratingly common misconception about the Planck length. It’s not a pixel density, the Planck time is not a framerate. You can have lengths that are not multiples of the Planck length. The only significance to the Planck length is it’s the distance scale where gravity becomes as strong as the nuclear forces, and physics gets weird.

Google chose to ignore the SEO arms race. Winning it is trivial, if you detect anything even remotely grey-hat, blacklist the entire domain. Forever. Then SEO stops being a thing because no one wants to risk toeing the line.

Is this an actual thing or is it a misinterpretation of the standard boilerplate “you grant us a non-exclusive non-transferrable license to do the basic things that make a post visible to other people on the internet” message that every platform where you post stuff has?

Ok, strictly speaking, the language is called the Egyptian language and hieroglyphs were the writing system used to write it (until Greek influences evolved it into Coptic). But that’s an extremely pedantic distinction to anyone who isn’t a linguist.

Yeah, this is a classic example of a problem that looks very simple if you haven’t researched it at all, but it’s an absolute mess once you start digging into the details.

They needed to go scorched earth on SEO years ago. Try anything even vaguely grey-hat, your domain is permanently blacklisted from all search results. No appeals, no second chances, your content will never see the light of day again.

It’s like the horizon of ignorance in science. The more you know, the more you know you don’t know.

Don’t forget starvation, that’s a big one. Climate change hits your food supply before it hits you.

Even by fundamentalist/Young Earth types, it’s considered pretty extreme, but yes, literal belief in the firmament is a thing.

Bankruptcy.

It’s because of the way an LLM works, they’re completely blind to things like what a word starts with. Ask it something like “List 10 words that start and end with the same letter but are not palindromes.” and it completely shits the bed, because it can only process words as unified tokens, it can’t look inside the words to see how they’re structured.

About 5 years after, and there was a research team behind it.
