The term “silent majority” has a very specific political meaning.

But, in what way do you think those opposing “extreme” content being consumed by their fellow citizens are silent? State governments across the country are clamoring to censor all sorts of things, presumably to satisfy their constituents.

I’m not sure neoliberal and “lefty” are anywhere near synonyms either.

The optics of that can be questionable. Just ask Skyler White or her brother-in-law.

Half-Life 3 confirmed.

Contrary to the implication of the comment you’re replying to, MLB has always mandated bats be made of solid wood. Aluminum bats have never been allowed and have never been used. Bats made of other materials like the ones you mention would also not be allowed. This new “torpedo” bat is made of solid wood, just in a new shape.

You’re moving the goalposts. LLMs are masquerading as superb reference tools and as sources of expertise on all things, not as mere “typical humans.” If they were presented accurately as being about as fallible as a typical human, typical humans (users) wouldn’t be nearly as trusting or excited about using them, and they wouldn’t seem nearly as futuristic.

I love it when my government apes into things.

Even if true this has nothing to do with the value of the sport to the spectator or the competitor. Seeing world-class athletes push themselves to their physical limits is intrinsically exciting even if everyone is on the same page on how to win.

Seems to be down.

In Soviet Russia, egg periodic cooks you!

What a story! Just wild that so many helicopters were destroyed. But everyone on board the ship must have been so gratified that all five children survived.

I’m not sure where the author got the idea that flossing is more valuable than brushing.

Hate to break it to you, but Zuck didn’t create Instagram. Buying out a threatening competitor is not the same sort of risky move as what Apple did with the iPod/iPhone.

The best kind of incorrect!

So you were suggesting that these brilliant scientists simply need to consider very obvious objections and then their faith will vanish.

You imagine yourself as being more of an intellectual than anyone who disagrees with you, even those who are among the most brilliant people on the planet. This sort of posturing is something most people outgrow.

What sort of new information do you think that research would uncover?

Or are you simply suggesting that you don’t think these people have thought hard enough about the matter because they don’t share your worldview? That’s a popular take among the adolescent atheist set.

They’re also not exactly allies with folks that just want to maintain video game history that they refuse to maintain themselves.

Well, that seems safe enough. It’s the smallest planet, after all.

So they were aimed at boomer kids despite all 11 cartoons having been released before 1945? How odd.

The number of users of Meta products is one thing, Zuckerberg’s personal fame is another.

Conflating the two would imply that, for example, Phil Knight is one of the best known people in the world because of the ubiquity of his company, Nike. That’s obviously not the case.

Based on this email, Zuckerberg seems to have an exaggerated sense of just how well-known he personally is.

Zuckerberg: “Finally, I think there's also some distinction between me and the company here. While our company has a special role in the lives of this generation, this is likely particularly important for how I show up because I am the most well-known person of my generation.”

Does he really think he’s better known than, say, Lebron James or Lionel Messi?

Esprit de corps.

Just kidding- maybe there’s an actual law involved. Either way this sort of example shows how much of an outlier the Bill of Rights is. It’s something worth protecting at all costs.

Wow. I had heard that public defenders certainly weren’t in it for the money but that’s worse than I expected.

It seems like the biggest sink would be paying someone to staff the office. I think some coworking spaces are set up to be able to accept certified mail. Has she looked into that?

I’ll show you inanimate!

That flap showed the kind of tenacity and courage under (literal) fire we need in our leadership. I hope it will consider entering the presidential race.

Except of course for Donny’s Discount Gas.

Ordering someone to return to their home is one thing. The question is more complicated when the person does not have a private residence. “Removing” someone from one spot doesn’t make them cease to exist- they have to then be put somewhere else. Certainly local governments aren’t depositing them onto private property, so the only options are other public property (including jail).

I don’t follow why this practice being placed off limits for Constitutional reasons would cause local government to somehow lose its authority to govern. In our system, local governments can’t do plenty of things to their citizens, even in public spaces. Their ability to govern nevertheless remains intact.

Isn’t ripping your own media the sort of use case where Plex really shines as a solution and is fairly user friendly?
