Right, but before he became a murderer he was an inspiration to many people.
The news of his trial hit many people like a punch in the gut. How could such an inspirational person commit such a horrible crime? It was one of the worst feelings of betrayal experienced by the public.
No, you’re putting words into my mouth. I never accused them of basic incompetence.
Women’s sports have rules that say (some variation of) “you must be a woman to join.” Men’s sports don’t have any rules like that. Women play in lower level men’s sports all the time. They just don’t make it to the top level.
I don’t think it’s that weird. The men’s competitions don’t forbid anyone from competing if they can qualify. Cis women are allowed, and in some cases have competed in men’s sports, such as hockey. Men’s divisions should more properly be called “open” divisions.
There are still plenty of guys who swipe right on every single profile!
Yeah that’s quite silly. Every single employee at my office is issued 2 monitors to go with their company laptop. People working from home get the monitors shipped to them. It’s the standard setup in tons of offices as well as for many home users.
I used to collect way more candy than that when I was a kid going out on Halloween! It did not last 6 years. Maybe 1 month at most!
And if you’re wondering: no, I was not fat as a kid. I was very skinny. I spent tons of time outside, riding my bike and playing with friends. I didn’t really start to become an indoor video game nerd until early high school. Coincidentally, I also stopped going out for Halloween and I started gaining weight!
This one is it for me. The game really does so much with so little. The reality of the game is that it is a roughly linear sequence of closed levels (with some hub levels thrown in) that feels like a cohesive, connected world. It’s absolutely incredible!
Pathogens and Politics: Further Evidence That Parasite Prevalence Predicts Authoritarianism.
Now who says the parasites have to be biological?
I dunno. OP can still answer your original question above!
My implied claim here is that there are more people graduating with degrees in every major than the economy can fill jobs for in any of them. Youth unemployment is rising! Trying to find a job is really difficult and even degrees once thought “safe” (such as CS) have stingy employers who think AI will replace the need for training fresh graduates.
You might think “oh that’s fine, people who studied other subjects won’t care about CS people.” But if those CS grads can’t get CS jobs they’ll look for other jobs, increasing competition in other fields. This can have a domino effect throughout the youth job market.
Does it matter? The US graduated over 2 million people with bachelor’s degrees in spring of 2025. How are all those people supposed to find jobs?
Some people do run the tap over a piece of meat and splash juices all over the place, contaminating the kitchen.
Washing meat is pretty common in Chinese cooking. It’s not done over the tap however. Meat is fully immersed in cold water and soaked for a while, then pulled out, squeezed to drip-dry, then the water discarded. This helps to wash off any juices or blood and results in a cleaner taste. It can also help improve marinade results and further improve flavour (ostensibly by reducing the amount of off flavours).
The deeper thing they have in common is that they’re all products which follow power law distributions based on popularity. Popular items get more exposure by word of mouth than unpopular or unknown items. That exposure leads to even more popularity which results in exponential takeoff.
Thus you can have a music industry where Taylor Swift can make a billion dollars on one tour while millions of other musicians languish in total obscurity.
Yeah. The same thing has happened in the music world, the book world, and even the movie world.
YouTube lowered the barrier to entry to basically nothing if you want to publish your own movie. Getting millions of people to watch it, even completely for free, is very difficult. Almost all of the videos out there with millions of views were published by people who were already well known (even if they grew their fanbase directly on YouTube).
Music is probably fairly similar to movies in that you can publish easy on YouTube and then direct everyone to your Bandcamp site to buy music from you.
The book world is probably hardest to crack. There are so many authors out there and it’s very easy (from a technical standpoint) to publish your own book. Writing a book a lot of people want to read and getting people to read it is a totally different matter!
Sure you can have a unique identifier. That’s not the issue. The issue is that anyone can contact you via your phone number! This is not a problem with chat apps where people need permission to add you to their contact list. Why not have a system like that?
Same goes for credit cards. They should need to ask for permission to charge your credit card. Merely knowing your credit card info should not be enough.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they had guards armed with SMGs and full body armour guarding the shipments as they leave the factory.
Since Apple shrunk the packaging they could probably fit a million iPhones in one shipping container. Think how much that’d be worth!
This video is fantastic! Alec went all out with it!
The range matters. If you’re taking T prescribed by your doctor to get within the normal range for your gender (regardless of reason, whether you’re trans or if you have T deficiency as a cis man) then you won’t be barred from competition.
Where you cross the line is when you inject T to go above the normal range in order to build muscle and recover faster. That’s what’s considered doping and doctors can’t ethically prescribe that.
