And if he isn’t, have the option to voluntarily accept the child as his legally or not to do it?

There is no good or bad, there is no right or wrong, there is no saint or evil, there is no rights or obligations, just the jungle's law total freedom.

What's your take on this?

I personally believe they talk about the methods they will use to depopulate the world, what the next global economic bubble (Ponzi scheme) will be, the newest methods to evade taxes and hide money, ultra-secret quantum technology, how to create a global economy through cryptocurrencies, or even technological advances to prolong life.

What do you all think they talk about in the meetings?

Known as the "2026 Billionaire Tax Act," the initiative proposes a one-time 5% wealth tax on California's billionaires, payable over five years. 90% of the tax revenue would be used to offset the $100 billion (€85.7 billion) in budget cuts imposed by the "One Big Beautiful Bill," the budget law that the United States Congress passed in July 2025, under the auspices of President Donald Trump. The remaining 10% would go to food assistance programs and public education, which is in a curiously dire situation for such a wealthy state.

The ballot initiative is still just a proposal: It has not yet received the 874,000 signatures required for it to be put to a vote by Californians in November, and the state's Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, does not support it. Nevertheless, the initiative has threatened to drive the Silicon Valley billionaires out of the state.

The initiative has resulted in panic among the billionaires. According to the press, the biggest names in Silicon Valley all took steps to move before December 31, 2025, to minimize their exposure to the tax, which would be calculated retroactively, back to January 1. Larry Page (with a net worth of $276 billion), one of Google's founders, had his holding company move its headquarters to the tax-friendly East Coast state of Delaware, relocate three of its companies to Florida and purchased two homes in Miami, for $173 million. Larry Ellison (net worth $245 billion), cofounder of Oracle, sold his $45 million home in the hills above San Francisco, though he had already moved his tax residence to Hawaii in 2020, just like Elon Musk (head of the social media platform X and Tesla), who relocated to Texas. Meanwhile, Peter Thiel, cofounder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies, who is worth $26 billion, has increased his presence in Florida.

What's your take? I'm not sure if I know of an historic case of it like IDK maybe 200 or 150 years ago but nowadays I have several cases near of autistic people, so what do you think is old or new?

What's your take? Would you take seriously dating a single parent or would you do it just for temporal fun? Should people with kids date just people with kids?

Images, undated and uncaptioned, include Vladimir Nabokov lines written on women and show Bill Gates and Noam Chomsky

Democrats on the House oversight committee have released a new batch of photos from the estate of convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, as the deadline for the justice department to release its files related to Epstein looms.

The images, released on Thursday, are undated and lack captions or context. Among them are photographs of what appear to be lines from Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita written on different parts of a woman’s body.

In a statement after the release Robert Garcia, a US representative and ranking member of the committee on oversight and government reform, said that “oversight Democrats will continue to release photographs and documents from the Epstein estate to provide transparency for the American people.”

“As we approach the deadline for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, these new images raise more questions about what exactly the Department of Justice has in its possession,” he said.

LibreWolf is one of the best browsers for people who don't like generative AI.

Here is the statement posted on Mastodon:

As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick "official" toot to then pin: we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it "slipped through". As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.
