I can fix that fantastical part: advertisers can now claim any targeting of children is inadvertent because they know they’re not supposed to do that and they have the age verification. So it must have been someone spoofing the system.
This is on par with the Joker for “reasons the rule against heroes killing is stupid.”
Seriously, if a guy who has already committed murder provides a roadmap for how he plans to do it again and is perfectly capable of executing the plan, what more do you need?
The power of the pardon is so fucking stupid. Make prosecutors and cops and judges accountable for legal malpractice, and make legislators include negating convictions as part of legislation that changes a law.
“The Darkest Episode We Will Ever Do.”
Until I looked it up I thought it was just a weird pirate thing.
For everyone arguing it’s a niche issue, there’s plenty of non-LGBTQIA people who also care about trans rights. And the fascists are going to keep flogging the issue so the only way to deal with it is to address it head on. The fact that this is a question about Newsom makes this a problem.
My thought was concert tickets. An artist could set an absolute maximum for how much a ticket could be resold for, and the energy costs of maintaining the blockchain would be time-limited to after a show or tour completed.
Of course, Ticketmaster would never allow that because it effectively nukes the scalper market, which they also run through stubhub.
Ending the decades of trade sanctions might be a good step forward. Sanctions punish the poorest, the wealthy and powerful in any nation subject to sanctions miraculously find a way to maintain their lifestyles.
I mean, look at US treatment of protesters and ask yourself if the government doing that shit has a moral leg to stand on even if the 36k number is true.
Or at least lichens.
The If Books Could Kill podcast did an episode on The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck and were unimpressed. IIRC they at least thought it was just kind of shitty rather than actively promoting bad ideas.

My favorite game I ever ran was a party of halflings who all multi classed rogue/something else. This was 3rd edition and the party among other things showed how broken the combination of tumbling and flanking was.
Yeah, like the US soldier who self-immolated as a protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Your explanation makes way more sense.
No, I couldn’t.
My gut is too big.
And I’d be snagging little bits of that outfit on every little protruding item I walked by.
More effective than and ADT sign or one of those “we don’t call 911” signs.
Hardware is Chromebook priced. OS,is (AFAIK) full macOS, AKA a posix compliant Unix machine with a pretty nice GUI. Nice enough that several Linux WMs try to duplicate it.
Did you mean Small Axe? Or is there a different series I’m not aware of?
Did you read the study? The abstract asserts that vaping is less bad than smoking cigarettes, but there’s a ton of negative cardiovascular effects they link to nicotine alone.
Not knowing your city I can’t speak to that, but I’ve been both a cyclist and a pedestrian in those circumstances and it fucking sucks. People tend to spread out when they walk, and cyclists are typically moving fast enough that walkers are effectively stationary in comparison. So walking becomes a frustrating exercise in dodging bikes, and cycling becomes a frustrating exercise in avoiding clumps of people (along with whatever other crap is placed on the sidewalk without considering cyclists.)
That is the formal definition in the sciences, yes. But colloquially, “theory” refers to a belief that has not been tested but for which it can be argued some evidence exists. (Not good evidence mind you, just “evidence.”)
