And they would put some fucking flat earther in charge of the project, resulting in some additional ecological disaster of epic proportions.

Probably for the best under the current administration. They’d try to build an ICE detention center with Trump’s face large enough to be seen from Earth.

Ironically, if he is successful, it would be a national emergency.

We have a shit load of laws designed to prevent fascism. They aren’t preventing fascism.

The point is that the ones who don’t know should know. That’s like the entire point of news. If the article keeps it vague, then people who are barely paying attention might think that an actual judge made a legal ruling based on the law. They might assume that a federal judge is non-partisan and independent.

There’s a reason that Putin throws people out of windows. He wants everyone to know that he killed those people, and he wants everyone to know that nobody is going to stop him.

Trump and his fascist army wants you to know that they will murder witnesses, and nobody will stop them.

Yeah, these articles shouldn’t say “a federal judge…” “Trump lackey Aileen Cannon has once again protected her masters.”

The second fetus may have been terminally underdeveloped, and small enough to be delivered without realizing it was a second baby. They may have told her there was no second baby or that it was part of the afterbirth, or she may have misunderstood what they said.

Doctors have been known to lie to patients in the past, but the practice is not very common anymore in most cultures.

My kids get their assignments, turn them in, and receive their grades on four different apps, plus there’s a version for the parents.

Best movie, or best WW2 movie? Which is a better representation of the war? The experiences of the soldiers? Which has better art direction and writing and acting? Which one is a better reflection of the current zeitgeist?

I don’t have answers, I just feel like “better” has a lot of dimensions.

Where? Fuck you, that’s where. You want your kid to be on time for their activities? Surrender all privacy, because what are you going to do? Keep your kid out of sports and clubs?

I think there wre both willing coconspirators and terrified bystanders unwilling to make a stand. The coconspirators belong in prison. I don’t have hope for them. I do wish the rest will locate their nerve and become better people, but I doubt it will happen.

That feels like something we could crowd-source. I don’t need the space and tools to build two open source cars, but if we had ten people in the community that wanted them, it would make sense to rent the space and buy the tools.

On the contrary, I’d say it’s a smashing success. First, the author was deeply engaged with Facebook to write the article. Second, everyone who saw this article and discussed the findings was engaged with Facebook even if they didn’t have the app open. You and I are engaged with Facebook right now. And third, many many more people logged into their Facebook to test the findings either out of curiosity, to disprove the theory, or because they are horny goblins thirsting for smut.

I would definitely pay a premium for an open source car.

The Facebook feed is an advanced algorithm that knows a shit ton about what to feed you to keep you engaged. It’s not just the cookies from sites you visit. They track what thumbnails get you to stop scrolling. They track the way a human eye moves and how far your thumb glides across the screen.

Point is, if it’s all scantily clad thirst traps, thats what gets your attention. If you see one, and you stop to take a screenshot for an article you’re writing about how it’s all thirst traps, then every third item will be another thirst trap.

Facebook doesn’t care if you want to see that content. Their goal is to keep your eyes on Facebook. If it makes you mad enough to comment, that’s engagement.

I didn’t read the whole article, so maybe the author addresses this, but what you see on Facebook is a funhouse reflection of your own interests.

This is yet another impeachable offense. Congress just needs to sack up.

Honestly, whether I agree with him or not, it’s refreshing to have a progressive leader actually attempting to be persuasive in his campaign, rather than just "Look how bad my opponent is! I promise to do all the things you like and none of the things you don’t like, depending on what those things are and the context of the decision.

It’s like if the slowpoke meme and the fellow kids meme had a baby and it tried to claim it was steering the boat while waterskiing.

I was hoping for a decentralized version of discord ever since they started requiring phone numbers.
