@Mangaminx I mean, considering the war crimes Japan did I'm not sure if what they said is for or against piracy.

@ANGELICFANGZ I have that... ON MY PHONE!!! Actually, I had roughly 3k until a Chrome update started archiving my old tabs. Apparently it closed my really old ones too so now I'm annoyed.

MY BOYFRIEND TOLD ME TO GUESS HOW MANY TABS HE HAS OPEN AND WHEN I GUESSED WRONG HE SENT ME THIS. 11,713 TABS???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

@_NathanCalvin And the main reason he did it was because he didn't want to look like a sucker since he decided the contract was too in favor of Unknown Worlds. Too bad that losing this case makes him look like a double loser and in Korean society this makes them look even worse.

The CEO of Krafton (creator of PUBG) asked ChatGPT to create a "corporate takeover strategy" to prevent a company they acquired from hitting a revenue target within a certain time window (which would trigger an additional payout).
ChatGPT (against his lawyer's advice) suggested locking down the acquired companies Steam account to prevent them from publishing Subnautica 2 in the time window, which the CEO of Krafton followed.
ChatGPT's advice did not hold up at trial and the judge was not happy. The opinion is a wild read and includes several direct quotes from the Krafton CEO's ChatGPT conversation.
I feel like it's gonna take a few more high profile examples like this until executives start realizing that conversations with ChatGPT are not privileged and you probably shouldn't describe your questionably legal schemes to them in detail!

@BowTiedPassport I wouldn't call Lois abusive since she used adequate force to deal with her children. When Dewey stopped screwing around like his brothers she was much nicer to him, meanwhile Malcolm and Reese decided to throw fireworks in a movie theater and got adequate punishment.

Because it’s about a large family living in a cramped house, navigating trials and tribulations while barely making ends meet.
The mother is borderline abusive.
One brother is a dunce.
Another brother is a genius trapped in a society far below his IQ, while the father is simply doing the best he can to support everyone.
Then there’s Malcolm…the eyes of the common man just trying to survive it all.
Incredibly relatable to a large swath Mexican society.
…unlike the slow Friends.

@LewisK39045312 @pokemon_psts Nornal types are Pokémon without any special auras, ghost types cannot damage them as they drain this aura from the other types, by virtue of this normal types cannot damage ghost types as they have no way to hit them due to lack of aura

@IroncladDev I'm rooting for them, but I don't expect them to succeed. At the very least we'll be able to find the current pain points so future attempts are more successful.

"France just said it out loud"
well duh, did you expect them to switch to Linux without telling anyone?
It is a well known fact that nobody switches to Linux and stays silent
Techjunkie Aman@Techjunkie_Aman
France just said it out loud: “We can’t depend on foreign tech anymore.” So they’re: • leaving Windows → migrating to Linux • replacing tools with EU alternatives (Tchap, Visio, FranceTransfert) • moving sensitive data to sovereign infrastructure • pushing open standards + interoperability • forcing each ministry to cut foreign dependencies 80,000+ public workers already migrating. Full rollout plans due by late 2026. This isn’t just IT. It’s national strategy. Control the tech → control the data. Big shift. More countries will follow.

@LundahlHorses Considering that apple genetics makes it impossible to recreate a variety on purpose, this is pretty cool.
English
Civilization was built by people like this, and there is a stunning lack of gratitude in our culture for their work.
In this specific case, at least half of the apple varieties in Brown’s collection were considered “lost” until he personally tracked them down and saved them.
He literally went on quests where he did things like, tracking a lost variety back to a stump of a long-ago-cut-down tree near an abandoned homestead in remote Appalachia, took cuttings from the green shoots coming out of the stump, brought them back and planted them.
Absolute legend.

Tom Brown, a retired engineer, dedicated 25 years to preserving approximately 1,200 apple varieties from extinction.

@pitoumoder @Wario64 Looking at the page available it seems the burger recipe includes the bun too. Overall the recipes might not be better than the ones that you can find online, but if this is what it'll take to get persona fans to cook for themselves then I don't see a problem with it.
English
@Wario64 blech. seems like a bad mix of overly basic and overly gimmicky, without anything useful you couldn't just get elsewhere (do you really need a recipe to stack a huge burger)
pop culture cookbooks are hit and miss but i wish more people'd take notes from the good ones

America has a lot of examples of gay entrapment.
One interesting example comes from San Francisco:
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
FDR was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy from 1913 to 1919. During his tenure, he supported a gay entrapment operation where sailors would allow themselves to be propositioned by gay sailors so the Navy could identify them and kick them out🧵

@MinModulation But nothing worked until they finally accepted moving forward with transitioning

@MinModulation I once heard an interview with a professor about their transition. He was born into an extremely religious family and they did as they were taught, but they never felt like they fit into the female mold they were given. For years they prayed and saw psychologists

A student today at my elite university admitted to me today that she took a class so she could work on reading for more than 20 minutes at a time. She can't read. She mainly skims and summarizes, she says and still gets A's.
This student is, by professional standards, illiterate. Gonna have high GPA when she graduates.
This conversation was had after 6 of 22 students dropped my course because the maximum reading per week in one week was over 100 pages.
What people aren't grasping is that this is literally *dangerous*. These people are going to be come doctors, engineers, etc. They are - by any metric - vastly less capable than prior generations. These effects are cumulative over a lifetime.
This grade inflation is part of the problem, but not even close to the entirety. And the problem obviously starts in K-12.
Students don't know history because, you can't actually become historically literate on the advice of 'never assign more than 30 pages a week'. You can't develop any of the skills that came with literacy. This is, quite honestly, a civilizational catastrophe.

Being in special Ed was wild man. I remember during an especially stressful year, the principal let me bring my damn Xbox 360 to school and during lunch I got to play it alone in the office. granted it was school appropriate games but I thought it was awesome at the time.
Then when I read my documents from that time, their writings describe me like I was some sort of ticking time bomb they were delaying the explosion of. They legit thought without their intervention I would be a serial killer or something.

@Verxis1 @muhraydeth @alfkkifine Not a projection. A reality since the soul isn't a real thing. All that we are is a biological mass being controlled by various chemical processes.
English
Sometimes male anger at ‘women getting special treatment’ reminds me of a gorilla experiment. One gorilla gets a banana every hour. The females next to him get one every four hours. Then someone decides to be ‘fairer’ and gives the females a banana every two hours instead. The original gorilla? He flips out. He’s still getting his banana every hour, but it feels like a loss because his advantage shrank.
That’s how a lot of men react to basic fairness for women: not as justice, but as theft.
k@alfkkifine
what opinion about men do you have that makes people feel like this???
English
@Verxis1 @Biscuithammer0 @muhraydeth @alfkkifine So the early degradation of male reproductive systems is a valid discussion point in the discussion of male vs female bodies as it relates to biological differences
English
@Verxis1 @sardinechomper @muhraydeth @alfkkifine Science is the analysis and understanding of the universe and whatever is in it. Religion is taking metaphorical stories and putting way too much importance in them to the point that it's used to discredit real findings because some guy hundreds, or thousands,of years ago said so
English
@NwKd47 @sardinechomper @muhraydeth @alfkkifine It's not a tangible thing. It's a series of processes, like religion. Do it tge right way, and you get truth, do it the wrong way, and you get the Wuhan virus.

@sardinechomper @Kasady69 @Verxis1 @muhraydeth @alfkkifine Tell me about it. Apparently the "lay with man" section was actually a verse against laying with very young people, but obviously the Epstein class did not like that so they got it changed. Reading and writing was only for the elite so they could put whatever they wanted in there
English
@Kasady69 @Verxis1 @NwKd47 @muhraydeth @alfkkifine The bible we have right now was decided by a council of old men, and the apocryphe is the verses they left out. It's up to you if you think they were right to remove them, but changing of the bible goes back thousands of years
