I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.

And that's how you get your own recording of a classical piece from centuries ago get taken down because it sounds like another copyrighted video. No fucking shit, we're playing from the same sheet music.
As long as journalism quality is respected that's not an issue.
A snaake. Oooh it's a snaaaake. Badger badger badger
If the marketing has the power to go over the journalism to change the titles, isn't it a symptom that things are going downward for this media?
No other choice than sticking with the few reputable media that still don't do that. Gotta support them so they don't fall into that too.

4chan in the past years was mostly known as a far right shithole. But I think 4chan had more than that, they also had more progressive hacktivism like Anonymous and they produced a lot of historical memes for the internet. I hope we can have some real historian work that highlights the good and the bad from it and not just its sad ending.
They got hacked, the data and source code was leaked.
Second had nice ideas too but very different, not a coorpg anymore and more an actually MMO. PvP was very disappointing, they didn't keep anything from the 1, probably because it was too elitist. For me the massification made me feel like I was insignificant, I didn't like it much, I did a bit of the campaign and that's it.
I think it's a much much smaller player base. It was successful, but WoW was a mind blowing success.
Such a great online game with original ideas and one of the most diversed and interesting PvP of its genre.
We need to rationalize land usage to succeed in the environmental transition. Producing food is definitely a good reason. If one uses its garden as well as a farmer would to produce food, then that would not be a problem. But I think the vast majority of garden owners don't, so it would be more reasonable to give back this land for farming or leave it to nature.
Yes, 10 billion people are going to have an impact, but the impact on land usage is not the same if they live in suburbs of individual houses with gardens or in five stories apartment buildings withing walkable cities with public transportation.
About the benefits of the gardening activities, cities also offer shared gardening spaces, so people who actually want to garden can do it.
What kind of calculation?
That's a different point. The subject was which is a better partner currently.
The issue is not gardening, it is taking more land from nature. That's actually the first reason for biodiversity loss way before any kind of pollution we may produce. So the smallest is the ground footprint of your place the less you play a role in that, hence why an apartment in a tall building is best on that matter. Extended suburbs with gardens are the worst on that matter.
It seems so since you disagreed with my initial comment.
On which points do you think the current USA government is better than China's one?
I believe by that time they were still going by the name of The Belittles.
They grew a brain organoid from his donated blood white cells that they turned into stem cells. The brain organoid produces electric impulses because that's what brain cells do. They made something artsy out of those impulses. So it's completely unrelated to whatever experience the musician could have had. DNA doesn't store acquired skills nor life memories. They could do that with anyone's cells and probably get a similar result.

Paris - Compostela by foot - Day 3/72 (Spring 2018) - Arpajon to Étampes - 24 km
This third day sucked.
My legs and feet began to feel the strain of walking over 50 km in just a few days for the first time in my life, especially without proper training.
Additionally, it was rainy and much colder than I had anticipated for this time of year. I found myself shivering and questioning what was happening to me, was it simply exhaustion? It wasn't until later that day, after I reached my place for the night, that I learned it had been just 3°C that morning. I had been walking in only shorts, a light sweater, and a rain cape.
Nonetheless, the path today was nice, with mostly woods and fields.

Paris - Compostela by foot - Day 2/72 (Spring 2018) - Massy to Arpajon - 23 km
Second day of the journey, the energy of the beginning is still there.
I found a cool shell! It says 1500 km, maybe if I were a bird, my guide says 1800.
The theory is that the lines on the scallop shell represent the many ways converging towards Compostela. Compostela is next to the Atlantic coast, so this seashell is common food there. Pilgrims would come back from the pilgrimage with a scallop shell attached to their bag as symbol of their accomplishment. Nowadays, many pilgrims attach this symbol on their back from the beginning. But I prefer the old way, I will only attach one to my bag once I have arrived.
So, the point of convergence should point towards Compostela, right? Well this was my minor 1800 km long pet peeve, many of the shells that indicate the way do not point towards the right direction. Zoom in on the top picture for an example.

Paris - Santiago de Compostela by foot - Day 1/72 (2018) - Paris to Massy - 20 km
I am revisiting my pictures from my long ~1800 km (1120 miles) walk from my home, in Paris, to Santiago de Compostela in the northwest corner of Spain.
At the time, I couldn't take the whole ~72 days, needed to walk the entire trip, off in one go, but I still had my French-social-system TM powered multiple weeks of holiday per year to use. So, I completed it in segments of ~300 km over ~12 days at ~25km/day across 5 years (with COVID in the middle).
The thing about starting from your home is that it is incredibly liberating. All you have to do is put your backpack on your shoulders, cross the threshold of your house, and boom, the adventure has started. No need to stress about booking tickets or missing a departure. You decide when and how you move. This feeling of freedom is the essence of the way for me.
At the same time, you do not feel lost (it\ does\ happen\ sometimes) nor aimless, because you have one goal, to get to Compostela, and signs to follow along the many possible

La nourriture à base de soja, comme les yaourts, les steaks végétaux ou les biscuits apéritifs, contient des substances végétales proches des hormones féminines qui "peuvent interférer avec le fonctionnement hormonal physiologique", alerte l'Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire.
Je savais qu'il fallait faire attention à ne pas trop manger de soja, mais je ne pensais pas que tant de monde était proche de la dose qui présente un risque. Je me demande comment ça se passe dans les pays où le soja est partout dans la cuisine.

The single currency has returned to its highest level since the election of the US president in November 2024 and is increasingly seen as a credible substitute for the dollar, at a time when Washington's economic policies are beginning to worry markets.
By Eric Albert (Frankfurt, Germany, special correspondent) Published yesterday at 11:36 am (Paris)
LLM summary:
On March 12, 2025, Trump escalated the trade war by imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum, prompting the European Union to respond with its own tariffs. Despite the tensions, a sense of optimism emerged during a conference at Goethe University in Frankfurt, where economists and financial experts speculated that the euro could become a safe haven currency and a reserve currency, traditionally dominated by the US dollar. Klaus Adam, an economist, suggested that Trump's actions might undermine the dollar's "exorbitant privilege," leading to a shift in global currency dynamics.
Financial markets have reacted positively to this speculation, with the euro gaining value against the dollar. Economists are questioning the desirability of holding dollars given the uncertainties surrounding US economic policies and the independence of the Federal Reserve. Concerns have been raised a
