The Yearning

Hugs are important because of what they mean - care, support, belonging.

Paying someone to do it won't solve it either. You can't replace the work and time of building up trusting and caring relationships with money.

As OP said - work in a food shelter, talk to people, invest your time in them - and eventually it'll work out, but not as payment.

Google’s AI pinned another man’s sex crime on a doctor, and a German court says Google must answer for it

There's a difference for a one-time fine that covers continued wrong doing over a period of time, and a fine about a specific instance of misbehaviour.

The first don't accrue, and I agree, should be based on revenue so that they serve as actual punishment and serve as future deterrent.

But a €250k that can be slapped by thousands of cases that happen every day (AI providing wrong information) has the potential to be massive as well.

I'm curious what makes you feel that way?

I mean, you're right, looks do matter socially. Caring about appearance is not shallow.

But if I think about the women I admire most and that I love, looks are never the valuable part. It's their kindness, their strength, their humour, their competence, their character - that's what's really captivating!

And if they feel good in a cute dress, or in a teddy bear pajama onesie, I'm here for either!

ICE thugs pounced on a man right there in the US Federal courthouse in NYC, mere minutes after his immigration case was dismissed

Holy shit. Goon squads. They don't even identify themselves??

Imagine a hypothetical scenario where a group of random citizens gang up on an ICE agent during their Sunday stroll and handcuff them, and throw them off a bridge somewhere, handcuffs still on.

How would a sheriff know that they aren't ICE agents themselves? Or are we going by skin colour?
