Which is such a shortsighted move because as soon as all the news portals close shop Google's scraper will have nothing relevant to summarize and is gonna be shit.

What a pillar of the community

Don't threaten, just do it. Enshittification must end.

The only reason we have mainstream paid video streaming now is because early Netflix was genuinely better than dodgy, pop-up riddled mirrors on movie4k.to. The convenience was well worth 8 bucks a month. Same for Spotify.

Fast forward 10 years and Spotify wants me to pay 15 €, scan my face and listen to forced podcast ads AND pay extra for paywalled audiobooks that used to be free? Meet my good old friend youtube-downloader, then.

Can't wait for Google to AI-summarize AI-generated social media posts for artificial Google users created to hike ad prices. It's gonna be wild

I'm genuinely curious to what extend the societal divide extends into the armed forces. How can can there be trust among soldiers in combat situations if they are diametrically opposed on fundamental things like this.

I have a friend who all of a sudden was broken up with by their decade-long partner. Never saw it coming, never got full closure. Point is you can't look into someone's head and you might never get a definitive answer as to "why" and "how" and the sooner you accept that the sooner you can move on.

Sounds harsh now, but things end and this too shall pass eventually. Stay strong.

We're all works of art and deserve some rest? Aren't you just the sweetest

What?

I don't even know why I'm shocked..

Aber da steht ja nirgends FRIEDEN im Zwei-Plus-Vier-Vertrag!11 Stattdessen steht in meinem Ausweis, dass ich PERSONAL der Deutschland GMBH bin!11 Und die gehört den Elitähn wie Rothschild und Gates!11

Fehlt noch was? Achja, irgendwas mit Adrenochrom!

Sorry to get hung up on the headline - but what other country than America would Americans be seeking asylum from?

Right. If I had dumped all my money into AI stonks and was overall deeply invested into silicon valley I'd sell the doomer story, too. Keeps the bubble alive.

Meanwhile the REAL threat of the AI hype, i.e. overburdening ecosystems with ridiculously hungry data centers and putting children's sanity in the hands of a hallucinating sycophantic autofill can be entirely ignored because "AGI BAD SO WE MUST BUILD AGI".

A little out of the blue but I watched an episode of a German cooking show today where strangers are coupled in groups of five for a week and every day one of them has to cook for the rest of them. They then vote who was the best host.

This week was ALL 30-38 year-old straight Dads. Nobody talked about football.

Nobody chestbumped anyone. Nobody was mansplaning anything. Instead, they were all swooning over each others' cooking skills, making each other cry over how much they love their kids and hugging each other for feeling insecure about their cooking. In other words it was the most realistic and "manly" portrayal of the male reality that I have seen in the media ever.

It's easy to blame the media and the "culture war" for male alienation but I strongly believe that our perception of ourselves is largely influenced by our peer group's portrayal in society. In other words: if I feel antagonized, I tend to overreact. If I am being told by Hollywood or social media to "stop being a mansplaning patriarch" I will be imprinted with the very idea to identify as such.

So long story short: non-toxic masculinity needs more representation AND it needs to come from a place of positivity, not judgement or condescension.

I mean, maaaybe if you wanted children and couldn't have them. But why would it need to be "beautiful and up for anything"?

"masks restrict my freedom" & "vaccines cause autism" are a good start

Multibillionaire leeching off society.

Society collapses.

Multibillionaire: :o

Has any of this been confirmed on the chinese side? All I can find is White House claims that a "deal is close"...

Lung cancer is color blind! ❤️

Let's math! An average egg holds 52ml in volume. The average ejaculation delivers between 2 and 6ml. This means you'll have to nut into your pie crust 9 - 26 times to keep it from crumbling.

Lol imagine a dns directory run by an LLM. "I couldn't find catvideos.com but don't worry, you got this! Why don't you visit bestiality.com instead?"
