Not even livestock. At least most farmers realise they need to keep their livestock healthy and fed in order to keep milking.

Just send a photograph of your screen showing the requested password of 25 random characters so they have to type it out. Guaranteed their next question will be where they sign up for an account.

It would block it all the same if they parked in the spot. Assuming this person is handicapped themselves they must've figured "either I block the entire parking spot for everybody, or I block it only for those that need the loading bay area for a wheelchair lift."

I honestly think it's meant to be courteous and it does work out that way for some if this person's only alternative is to take up the whole space.

With a button you just press it to close the windows for a short stint of faster driving where having the windows down is uncomfortable. With a flange you'd probably be more inclined to leave them open because of the effort required to close them while driving. I think having your windows open even for a few short drives leads to more energy usage by increased drag than the window servo uses in the whole cars' lifetime. So I don't think it is any more environmentally friendly.

I'm guessing the time and ammo it took to kill her amounts to more dollars lost than she could ever shoplift for. Did the store get their money back? No? Then what the fuck was the point? Who was actually helped that day?

The point of having police is to make society livable. This seems to be the opposite of that.

Nah, insulin is produced by bacteria that have been edited to contain the genes to create insulin. No pancreas is harmed to make it.

Humans are also hardwired to be adaptable and survive in many many circumstances. Materialism is one such circumstance. If this movement gains momentum and the world actually changes because of it humans will adapt again and survive.

The problem is that survival in these circumstances seems to depend on the continuation of it for all those in it, which leads to heavy resistance to changing the circumstances we've adapted to. It requires us to look beyond what we know and work towards the greater good with little guarantee that this will work out for ourselves individually within our own lives even if we know it'll be good for everybody in the long term. Therefore, it goes against that innate survival instinct.

I truly believe that the only way out of this dumpster fire of a world we live in depends on changing those "fundamentals" (big word, seeing how materialism is relatively recent to mankind and is only fundamental as long as the majority believes it is and keeps the charade going) but in the short term it means going against the instinct to persevere and stay in the rat race, because stepping out of the race to live by new rules while the rest is undecided or flat out decides to simply keep running is going to set you back within the confines of the "old rules".

Exactly. If it didn't pay off these companies wouldn't keep shoveling money to Facebook and Google to show their ads time and time again. Marketing is expensive. If it didn't at least break even then nobody would be doing it anymore by now. Obviously it works, otherwise I wouldn't ever know what the fuck a squarespace or a goddamn raid shadow legends is.

I truly applaud your mental fortitude. I honestly had to stop scrolling through your info graphic after passing the malaria part. I simply couldn't take it all in at once. I will come back to it tomorrow and take in another chunk of it, I'll see how far I get then but I intend to take it all in albeit in bite sized chunks.

Keep it up and I'll be looking for more of your projects later if I can handle it. The world is truly broken but I'm a firm believer that eventually we the common people will open our eyes to it and enact change. I don't know how and I wish I knew how to contribute to that in some way even though I don't believe I have the power within the current system.

Thank you.

What I don't understand is how the national motto can be a religious one without breaking the first amendment.

Sure but then they'd also need to calculate the risk of Musk or X exposing the lie that X is allowing pro-nazi content. If it's such an obvious lie for the exposure in the media then there's a massive risk of being called out and exposed. The bottom line is X loses revenue and credibility due to this article and now has a huge incentive to blow the lid off this supposed conspiracy to paint X as a bastion of hate. I don't think two big companies would roll the dice on that at the same time as losing their investment by ending this ad campaign early.
