Yeah, I edited the post to call that out specifically

That’s not what the article is about. Stack Overflow has kept content that Luigi created up, but removed his username, in violation of Creative Commons. Edited the post to make that more clear.

Preemptive compliance.

Do you have other examples? Because the article gave an example of a similar account that was not anonynized like this. Sure, accounts are often taken down, but the content isn’t left up.

At a certain point, even with an ever-expanding number of lanes, everyone having their car becomes limiting not freeing. Because we’re all on the roads all at the same time all the time, it takes longer to get places and we have to spend more of our time planning on the off-chance there might be traffic because a short drive to Tacoma could be 30 minutes or 2 hours. It doesn’t make you feel free to do what you want, because everyone else is also using their freedom to the point that everything is clogged and backed up all the time and everyone is so tired of it all they’ve taken to driving like maniacs since the pandemic.

This is what toxic individualists don’t understand about collectivism: sacrificing a little bit of freedom can get you more freedom in the long run. I sacrifice the freedom to kill random people and in exchange I get freedom from most of the fear of being randomly murdered. I sacrifice the freedom to throw mercury in the garbage and I gain freedom from mercury poisoning. I sacrifice the freedom of driving straight out of my driveway onto a big ugly stroad and I gain the freedom to walk safely out of my front door onto a nice quiet street.

404 Media has done a lot of excellent reporting on this: https://www.404media.co/facebooks-ai-spam-isnt-the-dead-internet-its-the-zombie-internet/ https://www.404media.co/facebook-is-being-overrun-with-stolen-ai-generated-images-that-people-think-are-real/ https://www.404media.co/where-facebooks-ai-slop-comes-from/

This is a great overview of what we know about Mangione and, if he was the shooter, what likely drove him. Chronic pain is horrible and so are insurance companies.

This is also at least the third story I’ve heard of someone having their life ruined by a beginner surfing injury. He seems like a normal, decent dude (for being 26, rich, and a tech bro) and it really sucks that that happened to him. Murder is bad etc but I get it.

There are 15,000 McDonald’s in the US and turnover is pretty high. It’s an old stat but I don’t expect it’s changed much over time.

My husband and MIL both worked there so it tracks with my family members at least!

One out of eight Americans have worked at McDonald’s, so that’s quite a lot.

It’s a huge, weird mess of a flop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPL7OZF1iI4

Yeah, though clues are few and far between; the

is the biggest clue. From Jordan’s other writings, the

and that led to the Age of Legends.

Losing consciousness for any reason = ER. A friend passed out during dinner and we weren’t sure what to do, so we called the triage nurse and they were like “ER now!” (He was fine, they never figured out what happened and it’s never happened again, but it’s definitely stayed with me.)

Great criteria. Another “straight to the ER” one is loss of consciousness; people get knocked out in movies all the time so it’s easy to assume it’s fine, but it’s not.

Forced labor is still slavery even if you’re paid and not whipped.

He’s surrounded by toadies who told him he’d win the first one, and he lost.

Plastics industry: “See?! We told you plastic decomposes and doesn’t just stay in landfills forever. Happy now?”

True: they’re obviously neither a woman nor a man with empathy.

You’re obviously not a woman: if you were you’d know that we talk about this stuff all the time, and that it absolutely is not obvious to women in blue states how scary things are in red states.
