Ceci n’est pas un Garfield.

Open your eyes, the world isn’t even real. Once you realize that you can take whatever form you want.

They’re technically not banning tiktok, they’re banning China from owning tiktok

As bad as establishment candidates tend to be, trump is far far worse. The problem with the trump supporters is they boil everything down to “X bad, so not X good!” Trump was an outsider which is why they supported him, but just being an outsider doesn’t automatically make you good, and in his case he’s far worse.

You’re not kidding. The comments are so much worse than I was expecting.

If a subject is a scientific passion of yours, you don’t dismiss good questions, you welcome them.

You start by asking questions. If you’re wrong you’ll find out, if you’re right you’ll expose something.

The article said that was already disallowed by a prior court ruling. I want to know what’s in the new case.

I read the whole article and it didn’t fucking mention the specifics of the case at all. Which part are they suing over specifically?

I’m curious if people changed their tune once they heard your Canadian accent. Was it their visual racism that led them to assume your country and be racist about nationality, or was it mainly just visual racism with nationality not playing much of a role?

Being afraid does not mean it’s irrational or unjustified.

I’m aware, but, if we push for nuclear in the US right now, it will be for profit, and that’s why I’m apprehensive. If we can keep it public and ensure proper funding, then I’m for it.

I’m pro nuclear based on the science, but I’m anti nuclear based on humanity. Nuclear absolutely can be run safely, but as soon as there’s a for profit motive, corporations will try to maximize profits by cutting corners. As long as there’s that conflict I don’t blame people for being afraid.

I trust nuclear can be built safely, problem is I don’t trust the humans building, maintaining, and running it to not cut corners. I flat out didn’t trust nuclear that’s run for profit as shareholders will demand cost cutting to maximize profits, and I didn’t know if I’d trust publication funded nuclear to stay properly funded.

Not only that, 1 mil invested and making a modest 5% a year will return more than the teaching salary for doing nothing.

If you get a modest 5% return on that mil that’s $50k per year, which is more than her teaching salary for doing nothing.

That movie is also why she cast André the Giant as his sidekick after falling victim to one of the classic blunders.

How is tiktok anything like WikiLeaks or lavabit? How is Lemmy like them either?

What search api do you think those services use under the hood? Funnily enough though, only Bing actually lets you use their API directly, services that build on top of Google are paying proxy scrapers because Google doesn’t sell direct access to their search results. I’m guessing they’ll open it up to capture that market eventually.

It’s as if workers can only improve their condition in a capitalist society when the pie grows exponentially, but continual exponential growth is an impossibility in a physical world.
