Operation enduring algae

Caches of dihydrogen-oxide were discovered, a chemical which if inhaled can asphyxiate and cause death. The chemical was cleverly disguised with sweeteners and packed in containers making it look like a harmless treat.

WARN YOUR CHILDREN!!!

(Ie they found a six-pack of Sprite)

Your brain was never designed for this much bad news

Reply in thread

Since we’re all being pedantic about words here, we wouldn’t say our brains evolved to X because it’s our ancestors’ evolutionary precursor brains that evolved into ours.

I’d suggest we just back off the pedantry in general. The headline could have said “your brain isn’t suited to…” if they wanted to avoid the possible implication of a deity but I think we know what they were trying to say.

Stop Killing Games delivers 'absolutely incredible' hearing in European Parliament: 'There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively'

This is a masterclass in “pick your one thing in life and focus on that.”

I’m highly pessimistic that the spirit of this legislation, which I wholly support, can ever be enshrined in law with enough specificity that it works the way we want it to in the cases where we need it to, without becoming a truly undue burden on small developers or forcing all publishers to just work around it in some way: like taking everything to a subscription model going forward.

New mrbeast video is dark

This is an old twilight zone episode. A women is given a box with one button on it and told to press it is she wants the money, but someone she doesn’t even know will die.

She decides the push the button, and then someone comes to collect the button device, saying that it will now be reset and taken to someone else now for the same challenge. Some random person on earth. Implying that she will be the next to die if the button gets pushed.

Frankly not a bad system. Slowly cleanses the selfish from the earth.
