What gets me is that people who get into these debt situations are sometimes even making good fucking money and could wipe it out in a couple of years if they had half a brain.

the concept of "hubris" and how science has saved billions of lives from starvation, disease, etc.
Sensitive content
I find it funny how in fiction hubris is a high-brow way of saying “you scienced way too hard and now the universe is going to punish you for Defying The Natural Order™” with the implication that hubris is some kind of character flaw: the character flaw of trying to make things better with science
but in actual Greek myths hubris basically just means “you proved you were better than a god at something and all of the gods are massive raging narcissists so now they’re going to curse you about it”
except where’s the Greek myth about someone committing hubris by inventing agriculture and mortally wounding the god of starvation? or the Greek myth where someone commits hubris by inventing the bifurcated needle and killing the god of smallpox?
it was hubris to invent vaccines. it was hubris to discover how to safely transfuse blood. oral rehydration therapy, germ theory, chlorinated water, synthetic fertilizers. all of these things Go Against The Natural Order and have saved millions to billions of lives, because guess what? the natural order is a fucking atrocity of unimaginable scale. and we are actively stopping it every single day we learn something new about the universe. I think “hubris” is an inherently reactionary concept and it can go straight to hell, which we’re going to destroy someday with science
re: the concept of "hubris" and how science has saved billions of lives from starvation, disease, etc.
vaccines increase all-cause mortality. oral rehydration therapy, so, drinking water? that has saved a lot of lives, i'll admit. basically everyone's life.
The Wall Street Journal would have you believe its report on a "sheikh" who wants to form a Hebron "emirate" under Israeli control, is a groundbreaking political revelation. But anyone with basic knowledge of Palestine will tell a different story.

"The National Traffic System®, or NTS®, is a network that allows for rapid movement of traffic—or radiograms—from origin to destination. NTS helps to train radio amateurs in relaying messages accurately and in a timely fashion. It also reinforces good on-air procedures. Message relay and training form the basis of the National Traffic System."

@ChristiJunior it's funny how angry (((they))) get and how fast they come up with new socially acceptable pejoratives when workers (Whites) remember that they aren't machines born to work a 9 to 5

#Yemen’s armed forces have released #footage of the boarding and sinking of the ship #MagicSeas, whose owning company violated the Yemeni ban on #Israel-bound vessels.

Sometimes I wonder.... When I listen to people on the left speak I sit and wonder if they actually realize how stupid they sound. I really think that the US should sponsor a one month trip to Cuba to people on the left that want socialism. This way they can see how a government can really shape their lives.....
This is #Wix's #CTO. During the onset of #Israel's #genocide, a pro-Israel #WhatsApp group of tech execs, activists, & at least one senior #Israeli official served as a switchboard to swap ideas, identify enemies, & collaborate on ways to defend Israel in the media, academia, & business world.
I mean what I read is "We don't like to openly admit we pay peanuts and treat our employees like shit while asking them for more than humanly possible."
🔥 I have news! After a 1y hiatus, I’m once again leading this year’s #StateOfHTML survey, thanks to generous funding by Google. ❤️
🙋🏽♀️ Is there is an HTML feature or Web API you're dying to see progress on? Suggest it and it could be included!
Browsers fund these surveys to see what matters to devs — so if others care too, it can really help. E.g. these surveys are the reason we have CSS Nesting.
⌛️ The survey is launching later this month, so time is of the essence!
This is a hill I will die on: there was a turning point of the net, unnoticed by nearly everyone, that laid the ground work for the global political fuckery and rise of fascism we live with now.
It went unnoticed by most of the world, a totally inscrutable event. But everything changed after that moment.
I am truly asking this: what is the strange attractor that is turning them all into literal unironic Nazis?
I would have thought there were many different kinds of right-wing lunacy. You would think the message boards would have investigated every possible meme combination
And yet here we are with the richest man in the world armed with the most sophisticated technology that's been fed the sum total of human knowledge and it's just "Hitler did nothing wrong"
As Cambodian garment workers took breaks from toiling in sweltering factories on Tuesday, they feared for their jobs after US President Donald Trump's threat to impose a 36 percent tariff.
A new Study by the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), led by Highly Respected Chair, Dr. Stephen Miran, has found that Tariffs have had ZERO IMPACT on Inflation. In fact, the Study shows that Import Prices are actually DROPPING, just like I always said they would. The Fake News and the so-called “Experts” were wrong again. Tariffs are making our Country “BOOM.” Many new Factories, Jobs, and TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in Investments are pouring into the U.S.A. Someone should show this new Study to “Too Late” Jerome Powell, who has been whining like a baby about non-existent Inflation for months, and refusing to do the right thing. CUT INTEREST RATES JEROME — NOW IS THE TIME!
A difficult but necessary post. The full report of the Dinah Project is out, showing systematic sexual violence by Hamas used on the 7 October massacres (and on hostages afterwards). The many incidents in six different locations suggest this was intentional, not incidental - sexual violence as a weapon.
Clear patterns of sexual violence emerge from the findings, including victims found partially or fully naked with their hands tied, sometimes to trees or poles; evidence of gang rape followed by executions; and severe genital violence. Sexual abuse also continued in captivity — released hostages reported forced nudity, physical and verbal sexual harassment, sexual attacks and threats of forced marriage.
Sadly, this report was necessary. Too many people are denying sexual violence was part of these attacks, people who in other circumstances say #BelieveHer. Perhaps it complicates their simplistic 'good guys and bad guys' view of the world, clashing with the narrative of 7 October as an act of liberation.
Needless to say - except on social media - this doesn't justify the ongoing horrific death and destruction in Gaza. (And if that's what you thought I was getting at, please go away.)
@quixoticgeek Why are you rejecting good advice out of hand? You don't have much empathy if you can't understand why a subversive shitlib subhuman killing itself would be a desirable outcome. AnHero.png
