Some More News will do a livestream of the results. They are usually on point with their analysis and sources.

But that would require them to reign in the very same companies that sponsor them. One can hope, but it seems unlikely.

I feel you. Sorry you had to go through that experience.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I am usually a huge SciFi fan, but I like the genre for it’s ability to reflect on humanity by extrapolating on current technologies/trends or comparing our culture to unique alien ones.

Revelation Space was technobabble and descriptions of weapons for pages upon pages, and it was totally devoid of any philosophy or reflection on humanity. I never DNF a book, but this one I almost gave up on.

Danish libraries provide an online streaming service, where you can watch 2-3 movies a month for free. It’s awesome! They even had Everything Everywhere All At Once before any other streaming service here.

This feels like OG 4chan or Reddit, and I’m all for it. Great ducks, people!

Managers sign off on worse and more risky decisions all the time. They just know when to not leave a paper trail.

Crushes are non-consensual. Getting rejected is definitely the best, because that is the first step to getting over an unhealthy obsession.

My country is the opposite. It’s pretty much impossible to travel 150km and accumulate more than 8500 height meters. (highest point is 170 meters, and it’s a loooong walk to get there).

It is. But it’s also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world

Look up The Minerva model

I actually teach teenagers programming and 3D modelling. The past 5 years has been the first decline in tech literacy I’ve ever experienced between generations. My personal theory is that only the gamers actually have computers at home now. Everyone else only use their smartphones, and that only gives a negligible increase in tech literacy compared to using a computer.

Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

Maybe we need to teach them the kinds of things that AI can’t do, instead of the same old crap?

Great game!

Best value for money if you like deckbuilders and rogue likes. Fantastic game. The second one is coming out next year!

This saved my ass at my engineering chemistry exam (still a requirement, even for software engineers) where only offline tools were allowed. Love Kiwix!

Maybe start with the death of the two-party system?

I think you maybe read something that the op didn’t write? Pointing out that “there are racists everywhere” is in itself not a racist statement.

It’s honestly so weird that you can just take up public space with your dumb-ass car, that is not even in use 99% of the time.
