Then when they're 15, they can rape them, but marry them when they get pregnant (because plenty of conservatives support that), they won't be able to abort their rapists child, and with a bit of luck the GOP will also make divorce harder (that's also something they want) so that their young wives will never be able to escape them and because conservatives will ensure marital rape continues to go unpunished.

He's lying about having to be there. He's also lying about it distracting from the campaign. Him being at the trial is part of the campaign. Him saying it's distracting from the campaign, is also part of the campaign.

Tesla’s refusal to sign a collective wage agreement

I'm sorry, what?

Arrogance, ignorance and hubris.

It's a typical story at this point. American company comes to Europe, doesn't do its research, doesn't know how these things work over here, management in the US refuses to adapt, few years down the line they fuck off with their tail between their legs.

Staggeringly incompetent.

AI is now training itself with data often produced by AI.

Behold the result of incest.

Anna Taylor-Joy is weird.

She's absolutely magnetic on camera, but I don't know if she's actually that attractive in the real world, or if it's just that she looks great on camera.

Reminds me of how (IRC) some Hollywood insiders call actors Lollipop people. Huge head, big eyes, tiny body. Looks great on film, face really fills up the frame, you can see their expressions better, relatively small body looks normal sized.

It's like the Simpsons joke where they go to a film set, and someone explains that cows don't look like cows on film, so they use horses.

It's good that he's been able to find help, it's good that he's advocating for more help. But let's be real. For most of us in the here and now, we're better off hiding it.

Being honest about mental illness is a great way to get fired or never work again. Especially if you can't afford or don't have access to help.

If anyone has tips for disguising long gaps on a cv, that would be genuinely helpful.

I was watching a documentary about this. White guy who's been living in Japan for decades goes to dying villages, talks with the locals in Japanese, they complain about no one wanting to live in villages, declining house prices, no one to do the necessary jobs. He mentions it'd be nice to live in a village.

The look of fear. You wouldn't understand the culture, we have a certain way of doing things, ... yadayada.

I assume the Satanic Temple is the non-theist one, which doesn't actually believe in Satan, and just uses it to troll religious nutjobs.

It's a pity the Christian right are invariably functionally illiterate, or they would have known to not kick themselves in the dick.

Location data, when you're home/not home, which room you're likely in/not in. Data that costs almost nothing to produce, but can be sold for millions.

Bulbs tell them when you're in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc. Relatively easy to combine it with smart tv, smart watch, security cam, and app/phone data to identify you exactly.

Combine it all and it's likely they'd be able to identify you exactly and identify what you're doing with a high degree of certainty, then micro-target you with ads or propaganda.

Honestly, there comes a point where you'd have more privacy shoving a camera up your ass. Less privacy than the DDR.

I strongly suspect that if he'd admitted he'd made a mistake, said it happened in the heat of the moment because he was so excited at their achievement, earnestly apologised, and perhaps offered to do some training, take a break or donate some money this would have all gone away.

But no, the moron doubled down. Macho morons.

For those who don't get this, 'Laïcité' is what the French call the secularism which is part of their constitution.

Plenty are as serious about it, as many in the US are about free speech or the right to own a gun.

Obviously this is also in part a more recent phenomenon. France has a large Muslim population and laïcité is arguably interpreted more strictly by those who wish to combat the influence of Islam on French mainstream culture.

At least 5. Arguably the Israel-Gaza situation, Russia- Ukraine, Sudan(also with Russian involvement), China's treatment of the Uyghurs, and Myanmar's treatment of the Rohingya.

Obviously, those screeching loudest about genocide X, are inevitably entirely quiet about genocide Y, while accusing country Z of hypocrisy. I haven't named any sides, but if anyone reads this comment and thinks I'm talking about them, perhaps it's time for some introspection.

Not that whataboutism is particularly relevant for those suffering. But hey, why would anyone let human suffering and nuance get in the way of some political point scoring, real politik or a nice online shouting match.

Meanwhile we walk ever closer towards the precipice of the climate apocalypse. If it's isn't already too late.

I find it interesting how much western countries have individualised the causes of sadness.

It's not that strange that people are often sick in a sick society. If you're depressed, it's likely that there are things that are causing or exacerbating that depression.

Give people homes, job security, less stressful jobs, and offer them a healthy work-life balance? Far easier to deal with and possibly even heal from trauma or serious health issues.

But that costs money. Selling people pills and self-help books? That makes money.

I strongly suspect Discovery was written and acted by people who have never seen actual shit or suffered trauma.

If they had, perhaps they would realise that people who've been through a lot are often the (seemingly) calmest or least emotional person in the room when shit hits the fan. It isn't their first rodeo. Or they're bitter and angry arseholes. Basically Jean Luc Picard or Liam Shaw are far more realistic portrayals of people who have gone through shit.

“we have lots of requests to interview Putin, he just doesn’t want to do it”

Because they're actual journalists who would ask serious questions.

The fact that no one was hurt does not mean the case gets dismissed,” Engoron said

It's also not a fact that he hurt no one. His lies hurt banks and lenders (small violin noise), consumers and tax payers.

How are you supposed to fine 7 vulernabilities in an hour anyways?

Threaten the interviewer with a knife until they give you at least 7 vulnerabilities. tapsheadmeme

They did.

They now rent them through a monthly paid subscription.
