I was just making an abstract sci-fi joke based on how cold fusion has been presented like a Holy Grail in the past. Obviously a better source of energy isn’t going to solve all our problems, no matter how good it is.

Maybe if it runs longer, we all get to jump to a better timeline. 😅

Yeah, it’s probably those conflicts of interest I had in mind.

I could have sworn at least 3 of the companies he pretends to run were under investigation by different agencies.

I thought the tech for imitating voices was already essentially available. There are cases of fraud that have been based on this.

Jesus and Early Christianity did have important roles for women actually. If I’m not mistaken, it was when the canon was decided on and authority of the church was institutionalized that they would have snuffed that out.

She also probably wasn’t a sex worker (and this was more something being thrown at her as an insult by certain individuals who wanted to suppress gnosticism) based on interpretations I’ve heard in the past. (But if she was, I’m sure Jesus wouldn’t care.)

Here you go

True, a lot of sources are mixing in more and more auto-generated stuff.

Not not the Onion… (surreal!)

On a more serious note, that’s disappointing.

This isn’t a new thing. It’s not the first time they’ve prohibited people from celebrating their loved ones’ release. That’s a regular practice on their part. The folks (often kids at time of capture) they let go are also typically dehydrated and emaciated.

This post specifically says you can’t (without the bypass many won’t understand how to do).

I’m sure this has been solved already but I’m just wondering how you ensure people are voting based on the helpfulness and/or merit of the response. That’s the ideal on Lemmy but it’s obviously not always the case here. Presumably, you’d have to be logged in on the other platform to vote but you can just see the discussion from Lemmy, I guess?

Useful constraints would focus discussion to keep questions/replies brief, relevant, and hopefully helpful, wouldn’t they? I just wonder how up and downvoting would work since that would go very differently from Lemmy.

Horrific and sickening, to see an aid organization treated like this, especially knowing the situation in Gaza. Depraved actions like these will not be forgotten by decent people of the world.

Thanks for the “pipeline” link, I’ll be sure to check that out!

I don’t doubt that there must have been “feminist” material you would come across (esp. 2nd wave feminist / TERF material) that would have ranged from exclusionary to mindfuck to further problems I can’t even imagine. I guess this is why an intersectional approach is important. 🥰

Feminist thought didn’t stop at one “head” of the beast by any means. Maybe what you’re referring to is the neoliberal/corporate-friendly girlboss version of feminism that you get in popular media? You could try marxist feminism or womanism or other forms in academia for more perspectives.

What filters into the public view is generally only there because somebody was able to make money off it. Convincing men patriarchy also hurts them and showing society that patriarchy is a pillar of inequality isn’t so much in the corporate interest.

Yeah that phrasing was especially egregious.

The “desk” appears to be random limbs of other humans. Also, it looks like her game then is somehow taking place in a kitchen that’s on its side?

They probably mean grammar, since most Google operators do work. If there’s a specific difference in search syntax (other than bangs) though, I’d love to know what I’ve been missing.
