Why is there a pile of clothing there?

I don’t need any, but just wanted to thank you for passing on the games - thank you!

Is any of that money actually going to the authors, or is this just like a fine they hand over and they donate some money to a charity or something?

Considering that he’s actually a senior Israelis official, he didn’t need asylum, and we all knew he wasn’t going to return.

Imagine thinking an 18 year old with the determination, grit, stamina, and vision to be a professional athlete on a national team is incompetent. Or are you just jealous that she’s accomplished more than you?

stuff like a “giggly no” is a no.

Thank you for explicitly bringing this up.

If two people are not actually explicitly communicating, then both of them are making assumptions. I’ve slept over at other people’s places because I’ve stayed late and the last bus/train has already left, because I’ve suddenly felt really tired and didn’t want to bother/didn’t feel safe to drive, because it was closer to work the next day, and, yes, because we fell asleep after sex. And absolutely none of that was consent for someone to start having sex with me while I was sleeping. Which is why communicating with your partners is important.

Just because you like being woken up by sexy times doesn’t mean everyone enjoys it. As an example, someone who has been previously been raped or attempted raped might not appreciate it - which happens to be one out of every four woman in the United States.

And the 12% of all women in the US who were raped by an “intimate partner” will likely particularly not appreciate it.

It’s also likely that some of the 81% of US women who have suffered sexual harassment might have some problem with it. So, y’know, maybe you should start explicitly asking before having sex with someone, even if you did have sex earlier that night.

Høiby is alleged to have raped four women between 2018 and November 2024. All the alleged assaults allegedly took place after consensual intercourse while the women were sleeping.

I hope this goes better than Assange’s trial went.

The last time around, China found other countries happy to produce and sell to China, and most of those buyers never fully returned to bugging exclusively from the US. It’s going to be worse this time around.

With meat prices surging, I bet at least some of it goes to vegetarian food here in the US.

Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.

Until they change their ToS (without telling you) and enable it by default (and hide the controls that let you decline).

In other words, meta is harvesting your WhatsApp data, and gives you a (potentially inaccurate) summary in exchange for feeding their LLMs.

How is a manufacturer going to be held responsible for their flaws when musk DOGE’d investigating his companies?

I would love to get some of these data centers off our power grid.

Just a reminder that it’s illegal to wear masks in New Orleans unless it’s Carnivale.

Fuck spez.

“dynamically integrates positive content from Reddit users directly below an advertiser’s creative, putting community conversations front-and-center in the user experience and blending AI-driven efficiency with real human perspectives”.

the company is also introducing a “scalable, AI-powered social listening tool. […] Informed by proprietary metadata, it provides precise, real-time insights that help marketers confidently plan campaigns, validate creative ideas, and make smarter business decisions"

I wonder how much they had to pay a business major to come up with those sentences, or did they just use ChatGPT …

The APIcalypse.

Well, that’s a shame … /s

I saw a video of this, and he veers from one side of the street to the other, and then back again - and it looks like he’s deliberately targeting whichever side had more people at that point.
