A guy went to adobe.com and told the truth. This is what happened to his organs.

Probably because it's prioritising what it thinks you're more likely to click on more than the actual search term. AI recommendations basically.

I see capitalism similarly to the way I see conventional grass lawns.

If it's this much work to keep what's supposed to be a "natural human system" or "a part of nature in your yard" working the way it's supposed to then maybe it's not actually what "nature" optimises for.

One solution is to just let the wild plants grow without fucking doing anything if you want nature. IDK for which problem though.

I'd declare even more war if they tried shoving him on me.

I love the marketing of this. "The government will buy vacant condos and 'turn' them into affordable housing." Sounds so nice until you ask where the money comes from (us, the people in need of affordable housing) and who still profits from our money (the same people who made housing unaffordable in the first place). So we're still fucking paying full price for those houses, maybe certain disadvantaged individuals who will move into those affordable units won't be paying full price (which is a small win, but, like, absolutely tiny) but at the class level nothing has changed and it will ensure there is a never ending supply of disadvantaged individuals in need of government housing assistance. This is a solution that only perpetuates the problem and will never actually solve it. This isn't the government gifting poor us with affordable housing, it's the government gifting poor developers with our money and calling it affordable housing.

How about you let the developers lie in the bed they made, go bankrupt, appropriate the units as part of the bankruptcy proceedings, and set up housing co-ops or affordable housing programs with the actually cheap housing? SMH can't even do capitalism right.

Animals run on instinct and are not capable of anything close to this kind of stuff. This level of cruelty is only possible with humans and any attempt to equate the perpetrators with animals in Western discourse is an attempt by humans not doing shit about the horrors our fellow humans are committing to feel better about themselves by insinuating that the people committing atrocities are somehow "not" human like us.

Don't get me wrong, animals are fucking brutal to each other, but they are not cruel for the sake of being cruel. Unduely cruel animals are selected out of the gene pool. A predator that constantly hunts for sport will wipe out their prey and go extinct. Individuals that waste energy torturing their prey for their own enjoyment will be out competed by members of their own species that simply do what they need to survive. Animals actually have mechanisms to prevent excessive cruelty in an overwhelmingly cruel existence, meanwhile we actively encourage and send resources to support cruelty and allow it to expand. This is a choice, not nature. We have the unique ability to build a safe, thrivable world for every member of our species through our technology. We choose not to.

It would be like giving credence to the concept of “anti-aryanism” in the context of the holocaust.

Which, should be noted, was absolutely a Nazi talking point. Literally "the Jews want Aryans dead so we have to kill them first."

People say quantum computing is a grift?

The other two are are only "grifts" because capitalism has shoved them into things that have no business involving them and breeds opportunistic get rich quick mindsets around the technologies. So any time you hear them mentioned it's more than likely to be a grift. They are fine in certain niches and very stupid everywhere else, like every other technology.

So I was on a bus that had been parked for a while before pulling into the station. It was was quite hot out and the bus had been turned off so the inside was pretty hot as well, but the air conditioning was working and I could feel it cooling down. Apparently this wasn't good enough for one person who opened both of the front windows, the ones that have big "Air conditioned bus. Open window in emergency only" signs on them. So the bus is now going down the road blowing in hot air from two gaping holes, so surprise surprise the bus stayed hot despite the air conditioning while that person kept fanning themselves without realising they were the one that making the bus hot.

Also, no I didn't confront them about it because I was sitting somewhat in the back of the bus and definitely don't have the personality to potentially cause a scene on public transit. I've literally seen people get into screaming matches over the windows on transit and didn't need that in my day. I did close them on my way out because I rode to the end of the line though.

TIL your phone apparently does no or easily spoofed authentication of the identity of the base station it decides to connect to. Anyone know more about this and how it's possible?
