They have not actually!
Lloyd has though, and Anya was very conspicuously absent from that interaction.
Also very recently Anya has met the older Desmond brother and found it unusual that she could not read his mind. Probably related.

Or instead of targeting tiktok specifically, they could have chosen to pass a data privacy law and actually did something worthwhile instead of pointless, unpopular grandstanding. Haha just kidding, they would never do anything to reduce even slightly shareholder value.
With Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk all leading Trump around with a $100 bill on a fishing line, you’d have to be profoundly naive or dishonest to actually take the stance that Republicans will do anything about Big Tech.
Well, you see, it was only a problem for him when it turned against him. When he actively supported it his entire career it was the obvious and natural order of things
6 times larger but 80 times as massive?
Per the paper the 6(.41) is indeed referring to the radius. Volume scales as R^3, so if the density of this planet and the earth were the same we would expect the mass to be 263 times as large as Earth’s.
Neptune, for instance, is 3.8 time Earth’s radius, and 17 times its mass instead of 54.9 time its mass as you might naively expect from the radius.
These ratios (54.9/17 vs 263/80) are almost the same. So the new planet is about as dense as Neptune.
The hottest year on record so far.
A serial web story by Wildbow named “Pact” has a pretty interesting soft magic system with a decent amount of depth.
All characters who can use magic in the story are not able to lie on penalty of their magic power being greatly reduced. The magic system is based around tiny spirits who listen to and judge people. There are powers in 3s, power in performance, powers in name, yet despite this the magic system still feels ad hoc, like you can make magic happen that you would not normally be capable of if you are just smart enough, poetic enough, and persuasive enough to the spirits…
Magical beings feel Eldritch, actively dangerous, and typically very clever. The ones who are clever typically have very good mental models of what makes humans tick, yet clearly do not fall under the same rules.
Well, to play Devil’s advocate (ironically), I’ve spoken with some conservative Rabbis on this point when I worked in a Kosher kitchen at a Jewish summer camp, and their argument was that God, of course, knows about and intentionally inserted these loopholes into scripture and intended them to be found and used. However, the follow-up question of why bother doing that instead of just not disallowing the behavior in the first place did not yield a satisfactory answer.
It pisses off liberals. Literally the only thing that matters to him.
NYT has been around since before the civil war.
I’ll let you have a guess what their stance on slavery was. They always have punched left.
“Emancipation, whenever it comes, must be the work of the Slave States themselves. They must adopt it from a conviction of its necessity to their own well-being.”
I try to make it a point to listen to Benny Grunch and the Bunch’s old Christmas Album at some point during December.
It caused my brother to stop talking to me. He doesn’t understand how ChatGPT works, so he’s trying to woo his way to GenAI by layering some sort of fake ass natural language computation system on top of the spicy auto complete.
I think you’re reading more intent in my post than was actually present. I’m not denying we did genocide to 100 million natives. All I’m denying is that Jackson specifically is significantly worse than the historically reasonable alternatives to the position. Had (for instance) John Quincy Adams, one of the authors of the Monroe doctrine and a big proponent of western expansion, won the presidency, I do not doubt that a similar overall trajectory would have taken place. Maybe we wouldn’t have specifically had a trail of tears moment, but there’s more to the genocide of native americans than just the trail of tears.
And this is absolving responsibility of all the people who maintained slavery, which one could argue is even worse than jim crow.
How so? I believe you’re arguing in good faith, but I honestly don’t see how you come to this conclusion from what I wrote?
I’m not really trying to weigh and decide if 6000+ deaths and forcible removal of 100k+ people from their homes is better or worse than 100 or so years of systemic oppression followed by more, quieter oppression. Instead, I’m looking at this from the perspective of alternatives.
After the Civil War we very nearly had a moment when we could have maybe did something real for racial equality beyond anything we’ve seen even up to the present day. The Freeman’s Bureau was fighting for wages for former slaves, and was generally a force for working class empowerment. Black congressmen were already being voted into office rapidly. If it were left to do its work, it might even have helped to innoculate the Irish- and Italian-Americans against future union busting on Black/White racial lines a few decades down the line.
Instead, after only about a year, Andrew Johnson started fighting and dismantling the Bureau, placing the former slaveowners back into a de facto master/slave relationship with their former slaves, giving the old Southern Democrats back their political power, and generally restoring the status quo as much as possible. The Bureau itself lasted only 5 or 6 years, don’t remember. The KKK rose up because reconstruction wasn’t there anymore to prevent it, because the Democrats wanted so bad to just put all of the states back in the union and go back to bad old days, and so on.
That was never a realistic moment that I know of in American history where people against war with the native tribes of this land had outsized power and influence. Jackson completely ignoring the Supreme Court’s ruling was awful, but while the ruling was grounded in good moral and legal principles, it was, like it or not, extremely unpopular. There wasn’t an entire party with a supermajority in Congress that could have kept up the pressure on this issue.
Andrew Jackson was Trail of Tears, but I actually think Andrew Johnson was arguably worse. He was Lincoln’s Democrat vice president (he was brought on to help “balance the ticket” instead of sticking with his strongly abolitionist first term VP Hannibal Hamlin), who started dismantling reconstruction and giving the power back to the former slaveowners.
You can pretty much lay Jim Crow at his feet.
A PIN isn’t exactly high security…
Sure, I’m a Linux user.
Requires Microsoft Hello, which seems to be a biometric login, which as I understand it means that it is not covered under 5th amendment protections against self-incrimination. You can’t simply refuse to give up your fingerprint or facial recognition, and now cops just plainly have access to whatever your computer usage history is.

I also don’t know, but from context it seems like they are associated with mental institutions.
