Oh I don’t like this at all. Apple obviously has no choice, I just wish the UK government would just stop meddling in our lives constantly

Industrialization is fake unless it is primarily civilian
You can and should do important work around weapons systems development, but the goal of that development must always be the ability to scale into civilian industrial capacity in the event of a major war

The “US manufacturing renaissance” guys are too over-aligned on military production. It’s ultimately a small market. If you want to be a major manufacturing power - which, to be clear, the US is - you need to be thinking about production for the civilian sector. Military potential is a derivation of the civilian economy There’s a reason why the most important US military innovation in recent years - Starlink - came out of the civilian market, and not the other way around

@arcticinstincts the point of these is to accept thing like suffering in Africa as they are and seeing the beauty of existence through the pain, so no, you’re describing adderral or something

Has anyone ever come out of these “profound” psychedelic trips with a verifiable scientific insight or breakthrough in physics or psychology or something? Can you fix Africa now?
Why do these trip reports just read like Eckhart Tolle Burning man Deepak Chopramaxxed guruslop

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

This is a really excellent quiz. It teaches the important lesson that, by carefully doctoring questions and offering a very limited range of answers, you can force people into whatever philosophical or ideological pigeonhole you like.

@ExxAlerts we really have to get rid of this ‘it would serve no one if we’d keep them in prison’ bullshit. it would serve the victim, we need to bring back retributive justice

ALERT: Judge releases 12-year-old accused of shoving rocks in the mouth of a 12-year-old girl so his friend could r*pe her.

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane?
I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

@actsmaniac Were you expecting it to happen?
Not only that but they’re using social housing as a political strategy, residents were threatened that if the wrong person gets elected they can lose it. And it’s a good strategy that went unchallenged, they know they’re good at it.

Nearly 25% of Paris housing stock is social housing and the housing crisis is worse than ever. I was told just having enough social housing would solve the housing crisis.
Instead they're now imposing rent control on the remaining private stock and going after AirBnB.
Now the next social housing target is 40% by 2035. The definition of doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
the deal should be, you can have social housing and in return you also let the private sector exist in peace. but this doesn't seem to happen.

@leo_caesaris I also can’t understand why polling is so bad in France. it’s laughable how much of a difference there is, it’s borderline impossible to be this wrong.

In Paris, the deputy of current Mayor Hidalgo, running for the Socialist Party, has been elected as the new mayor. Paris remains in the clutches of the Left.
The dumbest Right on the planet, and I have many more words to describe what an idiotic campaign this was overall.
