Swiss cocaine so cheap and widely used they’re considering legalising it

Its harm potential is somewhere in between. To put it in perspective, alcohol is worse than heroin. And like alcohol addicts, your friends should be able to get a clean and safe source to reduce damage, and the help they need without any fear of persecution.
You can't criminalize problems away. It evidently didn't help your friends.

Duh !
They're often too tight or too loose, and you have to reach behind closets so you can't see the color to match, and you have to put them in at weird angles.

Distilling has been around since forever. It's a legitimate technique that can give you a better model depending on your needs.
OpenAI does it too to improve its models.

One of the most common side effects of SSRIs is not getting horny anymore, to the point of sexual dysfunction. Yet for many people this is a trade-off they want to make for not being depressed. For you it could be win-win.
Talk to your doctor, get a psychiatrist. It's worth it.

Women in China are telling each other to bring their boyfriends to see 'Barbie' — and to use it as a litmus test for their thoughts on feminism and patriarchy

It's rare, but this franchise owner understands very well that a lot of people hate Barbie. It's even in the trailer "If you love Barbie, this movie is for you. If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you."

"They need us. We don't need them:" The fall of Twitter is making the trolls and grifters desperate

On Reddit I've found most of the news about the big social networks is posted by only handful accounts, they also don't post other interesting things, so you can just block them.
I'm hoping that'll work on Lemmy as well.

The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.

To be fair, AI was coined to mean programs written in LISP and it changes every time new techniques are developed. It's definitely just a marketing term, but for grant money.

Vasectomy doesn't change anything wrt horniness etc. Removing testicles isn't possible, you need testosterone to live healthily. Unless you take estrogen to compensate, but that's another matter. It would help with horniness though. Some SSRIs could work too.
