They said the child was using to “get out of anything and everything”, including wearing socks, which implicitly argues it to be a bad thing.

The child is more or less saying that because something is a social construct, that means that they do not have to follow it.

Who did the retraction is also important. An author voluntarily retracting their own paper is different from the journal retracting the paper.

Just because something is a social construct doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing to be ignored.

Being alive is a social construct. Humans decided that some things counted as alive, and other things did not. Nature doesn’t care if a bunch of chemical reactions are happening inside a cell, or in a glass tube. It has no objective definition of “alive”.

On the bright side, the camera/Switch doesn’t use a proprietary connector, so you can plug a lot of cameras into the thing, and it will generally work.

It’s not like the DS days, where if you wanted to plug a microphone in in addition to your headphones, they had a special connector for the mic part.

Exactly, scientists have been saying this forever but evil oversized bipedal crocs sell.

It honestly feels like a marketing issue more than anything. A non-zero amount of people think modern dinosaurs are “boring” because they don’t look like Jurassic Park.

Compared to big fluffy unicorn pigeons that eat each other.

Like people would happily be swooped by a magpie if given the chance.

A knee-high raptor who will happily leap up and bite chunks off of larger prey whilst they’re still alive and kicking seems like it would retain much of the terror.

Eve if he suddenly no longer had influence over Tesla, he’s ruined their reputation enough that others have had time to catch up and make better vehicles.

He’s also very particular about the factory and the chocolate it makes. Candy with a hint of gloop sounds about as appealing as Gloop fudge, and Wonka may just chuck out the whole batch.

Wonka didn’t defy the laws of reality just so he could cut corners in the factory.

They can demand it, but you can’t prove a negative.

Didn’t Google replace the normal Google Assistant with Gemini on newer phones?

YouTube also defaults to it, so if you open it, and the video you want is already there, no need to jump to another page to load the exact same video.

“Drill, baby, drill!” has always been an immensely stupid rallying cry, even if you don’t care about the environment.

But a funny one, if it was in an Austin Powers movie.

Fun fact #2: Not all oil is equal. Refineries are designed to process certain grades of oil into specific products, and different parts of the world have different grades. Refineries also often blend oils from different parts of the world to get the characteristics they need for their process.

And the infrastructure to do that doesn’t currently exist. Even if they could drill overnight, they don’t have the pumps, platforms, and refineries set up.

What makes anyone think that the West is immune to it?

Especially when we had something like that happen a few short years ago. Did people just forget about the pandemic and lockdowns?

Isn’t showing how to use the camera just a common courtesy if you’re asking them to take a photo for you? It’s not really specific to a disposable camera, nor today. Even back in the day, people would do the same, despite cameras generally having a big clear button to take the photo with.

Do Vietnam and Korea not count as wars?

How exactly does one suck a fuck?

With consent, of course.

As it turns out, there is a cricket emoji.

Nothing new, though. People have always tried to stick to normality during momentous events. It’s not like everything immediately dissolves into anarchy.

Even if it wasn’t, fact of the matter is that innocent people would have died in its collapse, and that would be unacceptable regardless.

for being violet

But what if it was chartreuse?
