You get hit with the Google/Cloudflare captcha because your VPN, privacy extensions, and the fact that you’re using Firefox in general make them think you’re a bot. But actually they’ve already decided you’re definitely a bot and refuse to let you in no matter how many image captchas you solve.

School is meant to introduce you to a wide variety of fields and disciplines to help you choose a career. You might not have had any interest in geometry, but at least some of your classmates did and they may well be architects or engineers by now. Meanwhile, you probably had other things in school you liked but the other kids didn’t, which almost certainly influenced the kinds of jobs you want as an adult.
Even a poet should have at least a basic understanding of how an engine works
On the other hand, writers/artists trying to incorporate science and technology into their art while not actually understanding how the science/technology works are hilarious to the people that do.
(And I say this both as someone who somewhat knows technology and as an amateur sci-fi writer who definitely gets a ton of stuff wrong.)
People thinking knowledge outside their career is useless is how we ended up with flat earthers, climate change deniers, anti vaxxers, anti maskers, and 5G conspiracy theorists. Most of those people are not objectively stupid, but they work in industries not closely related to science and instead of trying to learn how science actually works, they just blindly go with their assumptions and post their own opinions online thinking they’re just as much an authority on it as the actual experts. And then more people ignorant of science end up thinking their intuition makes more sense than the published knowledge so they start denying science too.
Tesla Diner, serving food that falls apart as soon as your fork touches it!
Don’t ask Churchill about his undue sympathy toward captured Nazi soldiers either
Potatoes will also just start sprouting without any water or soil. Just using the stored nutrients. It doesn’t give a shit.
In elementary school, when I was still learning English as an immigrant, I read about a third of this book about a society that criminalized every kind of candy under the guise of being healthy. Like actually criminalized, the book talks about how kids caught with candy are sent for “rehabilitation” and any adults selling candy to kids are imprisoned for life. It wasn’t until I was older did I realize it was most likely commentary on the War on Drugs and now I really want to finish it but don’t remember what it’s called.

Pipelines have been shown time and time again to divide Canada.
If the televised coverage supports the revolution, it’s not the revolution. They will absolutely cover it in order to demonize it.
You weren’t allowed to criticize the dead queen or the new king for a pretty long while too IIRC.
If something is already a monopoly/duopoly, that means it’s managed to manipulate the government/legal system. Even in capitalist legal systems there are “supposed” to be regulations against that. So if they’re circumventing them and/or the government never enforced them to begin with, they’re not playing by the rules in the first place and there is very little you can do within the system to stop it.
AOC: Always Offing Civilians
Can the seeseepee please come back and start actually censoring it to chinese commie standards?
No but seriously, I genuinely don’t get how a Chinese company can get away with doing this.
Text generation has many valid use cases and I use it on a day to day basis, but image generation as much fewer valid use cases and much more malicious ones.
Do you not extend the same sympathy to writers as you do visual artists?
Capitalism uses science in the same way religion does. It cherry picks the parts of science that it thinks helps its case and everything else is blasphemy.
It’s kind of like how the Catholic church now believes in “evolution” but God was the one putting commands into the game engine console to make things evolve, and that the ability for living things to evolve at all is in fact proof of intelligent design.
“Reportedly”
“Planning”
“Annex”
Can any journalists enlighten me? When you write headlines with these super passive terms for the worst atrocity of our generation, do you genuinely think those are the most appropriate and good faith words to describe what’s happening or does your boss make you do this?
Correct.
