I don’t understand this, why not call him the way he wants to be called ? He’s despicable but his name isn’t the problem, I don’t see how calling him Bowman (or calling Donald “Drumpf”) is making any progress.
And it kind of undermines the discourse that we should respect people’s choice as to how they define themselves.
The St-Basil cathedral and Kremlin in the background make the context obvious, they’re not trying to pass it off as a serious photograph.
Do you remember the time Marco Rubio repeated the same thing twice during a presidential debate ? His speech included calling the US “the greatest nation in the history of the world” but no one minded that.
In most countries you would be ridiculed for saying something like that, but from what I understand Americans are taught that their country is the best in basically everything and they are very lucky to be born there because every other place is worse off.
The American military doesn’t train to put on parade theatre for a despot. No high stepping, no elaborate formations or movements. None of that pointless bullshi
Marines doing the silent drill in dress uniform : 👀
I’m unsure I get your point, how does waste prevent a shortage from becoming a famine ?
Also, both raw cauliflower and tinned tomatoes can be eaten almost as is.
In political discourse anarchy has been given another meaning which is the elimination of undue power and self-governmen. Left anarchism focuses on eliminating hierarchies (power not justified by ability or need), while right anarchism focuses on eliminating special legal privileges such as those of the state.
My guess would be yes, the whole point of including a legacy port like this would be compatibility. Laptops used (still use?) PS/2 long after desktops moved to USB keyboards because the lack of polling meant improved battery life, so it’d make sense for the hardware support to still be there.
That’s fine, but there’s no rational basis for your position, and therefore no reason to call the dude “stupid” regarding that. He thinks life sucks and you don’t but that’s just a difference in values.
The obvious problem is… it’s not possible to ask someone whether they would like to be conceived prior to conception.
Agreed, but how do you go from that to “therefore it’s fine to conceive”?
If someone at a party is passed out and therefore it’s not possible to communicate with them, we assume they don’t consent to anything. Why doesn’t the same reasoning apply here?

He proposed doing it. He has an habit of proposing many things though.
Yes, I agree. OK, now let’s say 99% of users online agree that low quality content shouldn’t be posted online. And then imagine there is some kind of technology that allows the 1% of “bad users” (the ones who don’t care about low quality) to upload a thousand times more than other users can. It would follow that 90% of content online would be from these users that only represent 1% of the population. Do you see the problem?
A big issue with AI is precisely how just a few people can inundate the rest of us with their mass-produced slurry of AI content.
To add to what you’re saying, the Weimar republic was not a really a democracy when Hitler got in power; it was already ruled by decree, with a reactionary minority (Hindenburg, Papen, Schleicher and al) aiming to ignore parliament and preserve the nobility.
In early 1933 a German observer might have hoped the authoritarian trend was just a temporary thing and the presidential clique would have to bend to the parliament eventually, since they were continually losing support.
The fact they made it possible is impressive in itself. Sure it’s not competitive for the latest games or such, but society is more and more reliant on smartphones, so having a local option is valuable in itself.
It’s a bit like countries making their own planes instead of buying the F-35, which is better and cheaper. They looked stupid at the time, until Trump came back and it turned out strategic autonomy had value.
As for the price, probably it is due to small production ; but also simply underlines how we got used to not paying the “true” price of things, by moving production to places with cheaper costs & labor.
Teachers and physicians do not require emotional awareness?
You’re missing their point, they’re saying from the point of view of those in power millionaires are middle class.
Although there are some that distinguish a “managerial class” that is in-between the middle class and the billionaires : people like CEOs and such, with net worth in the tens of millions but who are not those who benefit the most from the system and are culturally distinct. I think it’s a useful concept personally, as their interests aren’t necessarily the same as the owner class but they still have a lot of political power.
Most of Europe does not put fluor in the drinking water though.
It reads like it was written by a Japanese speaker who did their best to translate.
Fairphone literally does have that statistic. They spent effort to gather that info in order to inform their business decisions. And they report:
