I usually refrain myself from commenting on other people’s appearances, because God knows I was last in queue, but when someone goes out of their way, and spends lots of money to look like a clown, it’s only fair for them and everyone else to laugh at them.
Plastic doesn’t age well I see.
She’s 54. Act like it.
I would probably feel safer around someone who says that they’re not, than someone who doesn’t acknowledge the potential dangerous situations.
The Holocaust aka “the final solution” was the result of a logistic issue. The Nazi’s initial plan was to deport the jews.
I have no expectations of USA doing anything different when they realize the cost of keeping people alive in prisons.
I believe it’s called data poisoning, which theoretically could be used to hack something in some theoretical situation.
It’s not the case here. He simply left a turd on the sidewalk and then the AI picked it up.
I don’t think they even care about profits anymore.
Billionaires live in the balance sheet, not the P/L statements.
It’s possible in Denmark too. However they usually only get to the conclusion that they need help after they have been caught in possession of illegal materials.
The psychologists working on it have difficulty getting funding for research. The questions are if it really is a disease on it’s own and if it’s treatable. There’s not a lot of valid data to work with. This made the news last year or so.
I’m no psychologist but my impression is that it’s more like a symptom of a different trauma, which might make more sense to throw money at. It would be interesting to hear from the psychologists who work in prisons.
Anyway, the foundation Save The Children has hotlines for young people who are concerned with their sexuality in one way or the other.
something about audio that attracts an atmosphere of wilful ignorance
I think it’s the lack of a shared vocabulary.
Everyone likes some music better than other music, and so everyone think they can tell the difference between good and bad music. However, nobody can explain the difference in plain words.
This easily leads to the conclusion that it is fully subjective, and this is where the ignorance comes from. If nobody can explain what good music is, then my own voodoo explanation is as good as any.
However, we can talk about music theory, audio production and sound analysis in scientific terms to the point where we can even reproduce certain sounds based on the description. But we can’t really understand the description without actually experiencing the sound.
It’s similar to somebody saying “I don’t like this cake” or someone saying “my taste receptors react to the umami in this cake”, but I still wouldn’t have a clue about how the cake tastes.
Sound is also different from other sciences in that there is very little proof of one thing being more correct than others. And that goal changes constantly. Whenever somebody does crack the code to what people enjoy, it’ll get boring really quick.
I had a music teacher long ago who said that there is no bad music, only wrong audiences. His point was that the music that makes it through to the recording and publishing will already have passed the filter where someone made a decision if there is an audience for it. If you hear bad music, then you’re just not the right audience.
Anyway, cables. Who cares. The end result is the most important part. However, I’d prefer to hook up the instruments on stage with thick cables instead of bananas. Same thing applies at home. Any wire will do, but cheap wires do break.
Absolutely, but it isn’t up to their employers to punish them.
Resignation is often used in these kinds of cases, because there’s really no framework to fire them, since they didn’t actually violate any of the terms on which they’re hired. They should be tried for the crimes they’ve committed under the jurisdiction of the place where the crime was committed. Not in some random board meeting in a different country.
What happens is that the board says “even if you didn’t violate our terms or any local laws, we don’t see our organization being able to work with someone like you, so we urge you to do what is best for both parts, which is that you resign voluntarily.”
If they don’t, then the board can say “the existence of potential criminal cases against you can harm the reputation of our organization, so now you’re fired.” The outcome is almost the same, but this could create a lot more negative attention to what the company knew about.
The people ought to follow ICE and start circling around their homes.
I like the idea, but unfortunately most PCs don’t boot from USB out of the box. It requires a few easy steps, but this might just be enough for a lot of people not to try it.
Just like many other good distros, Friends ended when the larger one ate the smaller ones.
Can it be used to find the ICE employees?
Also, the Smurfs
Euopean prisons are too good for him, and I don’t care about justice at this point.
He should be placed in an American mental asylum for the rest of his days. A lobotomy and a few daily electroshocks would do good for his dementia and keep his mania in check.
Buy Florida? Forget it.
Let’s try again:
How much are you willing to pay us for sailing three longships full of drones onto the beach at Mar-a-lago and claiming the land as ours?
(The boat-show is a useless but mandatory expense).
The history of denazifying Germany shows that the Allies were torn on this.
To summerize:
Russia “Okay, let’s kill all the Germans.”
Britain “Oh, but then we’re no better than them. We must make due process for all the Nazis.”
USA “Yeah, I don’t think either of you understand the scale of this.”
And the Americans was right. A due process would have taken centuries, and nobody wanted to pay for it.
So that’s why the Nuremberg trials only reached the top of the iceberg and millions of Nazis got away with no other punishment than memories of shame.
