And to clarify, the deal wasn't even a peace deal. It was a "ceasefire now, then when Russia recuperates and starts again, we'll have 0 contingencies. See, what if a bomb dropped on your head right now? We can't predict the future!"

If the pictures are not, forced therapy is probably the best option.

This is true, but it really depends how "therapy" is defined. And forced therapy could mean anything from things like the old conversion therapy approach for gay people.

You might argue that these days we wouldn't do anything so barbaric, but considering that the nature of a pedophile's is very unsavory, and the fact that it will never be acceptable, unlike homosexuality, people would be far more willing to abuse or exploit said "therapy"

Why do news stations make these stupid short clips with music and pictures? Just show the clip

This is a smarter breakdown. I had a similar thought that this is a test to see how many people will conform to a random demand, basically fielding for which departments are fighting against his authority to know the areas to focus on.

Isn't this all from one event?

It's not like the Trump voters are silently voting. They're load and clear?

I was mostly surprised because Spelunky 2 is so much harder, and Spelunky 1 is already hard enough for a newcomer.

No, being greedy is why America still has slavery, technically. As a whole they could get a ton more profit and save on costs if the system cared to develop prisoners, reduce prison populations and make them more productive members of society.

Individual and short-term profits are gained through this exploitation. The fix isn't to eliminate profit "waste money" then everybody loses. The solution is to address the externality in the market, thereby making it so that everyone can profit.

I don't get why people rush to the next replica platform that will go down the exact same path of overstimulating you / mentally harming you.

Just delete Instagram.

Don't replace it.

It also reminds me of people’s birthdays.

I don't get it here. It'd probably take you an afternoon to put everyone's birthday in a spreadsheet or calendar, and then you've made some effort to actually learning their birthdays, leading to a somewhat more personal connection with that person.

it’s just really the best option for events

I feel like this is just confirmation bias. At this point it's literally a prisoner's dilemma between your social circle. You could all leave and have a better atmosphere and platform, but if you left alone you'd be missing out. FOMO, etc.

I'm probably biased here as well, as my age group has left Facebook, but all I really see on facebook are big announcements like engagements, childbirths and have contacts with only distant friends that I don't really care much about, so leaving is "easy"

Zuckerfuck isn’t great, but he hasn’t trashed Facebook to quite the degree Musk has trashed Twitter…

This is crazy because before Musk changed twitter so dramatically, Facebook was the exemplar of a bad trash platform. I have to agree that Twitter might be worse now, though.

I don't even think it's that we're optimizing for the wrong value. Optimizing for maximum profit is probably fine -- everyone gets the best utility possible. The problem is in the algorithm being a greedy approach where every individual personally chooses the best option for themselves. Greedy algorithm settles on a local maximum but drastically overshoots the global maximum.

Diabolical to recommend Spelunky 2 to someone who hasn't played Spelunky 1

There are well-designed urinals now that don't splash back. Add to that, If there's a divider, then the urinal is convenient, quicker and imo cleaner because you don't have to touch the stall door or lock to close it and you're not pissing on the seat or sitting down. It's literally no-contact

Growing up is realizing your family is the reason why you're a weirdo

Also 100% clear that facebook, google, twitter... are all doing the same but for US intelligence

I mean, it's free. For the longest time they were great. Though, It even looks like if you scroll to the right, you can make a circle just fine

Went on a tirade talking about "the poors" after he got told to check in his carry-on on a flight

it mostly ripps off rich idiots like Mel and Joe

Not at all. People who can barley afford their medications see these as cheaper alternatives and will often use these instead.

Would not recommend Crypt of the Necrodancer, considering barely anybody ever beats the game even by default, and then completing the full story is far too hard to not be frustrating
