some things never change

interventionism, bullying, scamming, warmongering, supporting fascists and genocidal regimes, arranging coups, arranging speculation on first necessity goods, this country's foreign policy is one big hate crime

magically, nobody's accountable when south america gets meddled with or the middle-east carpet bombed. since 1945, or maybe even before.

#1 indeed. well above russia and china, congratulations

probably even riskier considering their track record and current administration

better this than three-letter agencies from some nazi warmongering alternative

a significant % of what I do day-to-day is dedicated to the task of finding sexual partners. how does this translate?

if it doesn't, how do you define "any task"?

is insurance for military equipment a thing? I had no idea.

If you have very deep pockets like a nation has, why not simply replace the lost hardware and never insure/pay premiums(which would be calculated to net a profit to the insurer)?

I think this says more about the usual psy drugs we're prescribed and use.

they don't do jack shit.

this stuff cured a lot of problems I had been trying for years to get rid of, overnight. (literally) mind-blowing

bonus, it made my buddy quit drinking

variance, it made my other buddy delusional and stupid. hasn't really recovered

a fart/sewer odor is indeed a sign of life

[flagged]

Nope it's useful.

Those people need to feel some kind of pressure and invasive monitoring. Because they're the ones who vote to allow it or not.

the "prompt" is the 10 seconds original audio file + the lyrics, right?

absolutely crazy

conveniently sweeping aside the fact that those who depend the most on the 'inefficient' programs/agencies that are being 'optimized' are the poorest and weakest members of society. those who can afford private everything will be fine.

a lot of knowledge workers indeed use it (and ritalin/MPH) as a productivity enhancer

it feels (a bit too) good and helps for a while

if you have an addictive personality, you'll find out that, eventually you'll start abusing it, and there will be no turning back. you'll HAVE to 100% quit.

I'll stick to nonfrequent mushroom use, thanks. My sleep and dreams are fine.

some of their older ads say 'no fees'

is that still true? how do they make money then?

censorship-resistant payments and finance

regulated blockchain applications however, have no utility I can think of

from the bottom of my heart: congratulations on making the web an unusable pile of garbage. It probably took a lot of effort, but you googlers incontestably pulled it off.

google [cooking recipe] 15 years ago: -> first result: text based bullet point list of ingredients, followed by concise how-to

google [cooking recipe] today: -> page after page of awful results where the data will be hidden in a monetized video and/or buried under a mile of irrelevant stories and ads

french trick

input 'baiser' -> Google translates to 'kiss'

now add a female first name after 'baiser', 'kiss' will become 'fuck'

What about racist stereotypes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nx4ekJ0i_w

Having to work at 80 is not a good thing

Thanks for contributing to making the web a worse place, little by little, brick by brick. It's still barely usable but I trust that one day you and your peers will manage to make it unusable at all.

"It's who you know"

for me (depression) they had no effect at all

le monde is oligarchy-owned garbage

le monde diplomatique and mediapart are a lot more independent, and (maybe correlated) leaning a lot more on the left

germany has working poor

first thought: "oh god please no"

a number of Win 10 vulnerabilities masquerade as features

Anecdotal(worked for me and a friend):

Find another activity (hobby, sports, taking care of someone, meditation, side-project, anything) and gradually have it replace work in your head.

You won't be able to "detach from work" because the mind (especially in people who like to think) doesn't work this way. You'll have to expel it/push it out.

Any time you catch yourself thinking about work in an emotional way, or outside your office hours, force yourself to shut it down and think about the other activity you chose as replacement.

This process took me years but it's really been worth the effort.

Agreed

And it did help improve well-being! I'd say it's a success

works with umbrellas as well
