why is that related to divorce rates?

Would there still be oil under russian soil after nuclear war?

I downvoted, not due to any disagreement towards the politics, but just because the memecraft on display here is abyssmal.

I feel like they are both bitter tastes people only like through aquirement. Have you tried sweetening your exercise with sugar?

Sounds like bullshit ngl number of mormons (17 million) times the average american net worth (1 million) = 17 trillion.

Does the temple literally own half the wealth of their congregation?

I dislike the framing of this, specifically:

“When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant the tolerant ones end up being destroyed”

Implies that the intolerant are guarenteed victory. I vehemently disagree that this is true, and therefore would argue tolerating the bad actors is often a necessary evil to ensure that good actors are not unjustly censored. The risk of ‘another hitler’ is accepted this way of course but unless we as a society can demonstrate (if at all) that risk would be mitigated by the censorship of hate speech we have no good cause.

This just kevin-bacons all human beings into nazihood.

I feel like a lot of gamers will be turned off by it being part of the main story when there are sidequests still to complete.

Software costs nothing to copy and paste, only to design.

The term “whale” just implies a big spender, it doesn’t exlude gambling addicts, dumb children or the fiscally irresponsable.

Their megayachts would actually become cheaper too :)

Please enlighten my unamerican ass, what Genocides did trump do on US soil in his first term? (Asked snarkily but a sincere question)

Some people are still racist

You actually can’t ‘just all retool the factories’. The mining of certain materials, notably copper, becomes a limiting factor. To produce the worlds 100,000,000 motor vehicles per annum (given a generous assumption of 50kg of copper per electric vehicle) would require 5 million additional tons per year, a 20-25% increase over current figures. Meanwhile the cost of refining increases exponentially with decreasing ore grade.

Sure not every manufacturer would go out of buisness, but the industry would absolutely collapse.

I kind of disagree on ‘just as terrible’ noise/space sure, but not being able to smell the petrol is such a biggie for me.

We scrolled through the feed every couple of weeks to check what was being served up.

This is a critical flaw in the studies methodology. ‘loiter time’ is a metric used by algorithms to serve up new content, if the researchers where checking each post for signs of misogyny, then they were probably skipping by totally innocucus stuff whilst paying attention to misogyny. This (being the only feedback given) will have shown the researchers what they wanted to see.

Three months later, The Office, Star Wars, and now The Boys memes continue to punctuate the feed, now interspersed with highly sexist and misogynistic images that have have appeared in the feed without any input from the user.

It’d be good to know the actual ratios, given this was a guardian study there’s no reason to withhold data, nor a secondary source I can go and find the data. It’s possible that Facebook is simply serving up the entire spectrum of posts proportionately to their activity on the internet, or even favouring anti-sexist posts that are just not noticed/mentioned by the guardian.

Does anyone genuinely believe banning this sorta stuff is going to “end violence against women and children in one generation”?

I think you have excessive confidence in the cyber security of old institutions.

But also: Is this not NCD? I absolutely want tech-bros running the MIC. I want the next generation of supercarriers to be the Starship to Gerald R. Fords, SLS we are NATO, we can sacrafice a little bit of short-term military readiness in exchange for doing cool shit again.
