And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.

Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?

Technically, the oath says not to ever perform an abortion.

I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.

Though there may be a loophole, since Hippocrates seems to acknowledge the existence of surgeons (“I will not use the knife, […] but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein” ), and his oath doesn’t seem to apply to them.

I used to think people stay years on death row. Are you saying you can stay morbidly obese on prison food?

It’s interesting that even on lemmy people aren’t so open-minded to give eating insects a chance.

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

Meanwhile every other person:

gets shot for not following an officer’s orders in .5 seconds

I didn’t find that in the Twitter UI and wondered why OP thought it was an AI. Thanks for sharing.

The tweet: (Is the preview working for you? For me, it’s not).

Isn’t that also the shorter route, because you’re circling the Earth where it has less circumference?

Also the North Atlantic Tracks are there. Might also play a role.

Judging by eye on the map projection OpenStreetMap uses, the direct line between Japan and Hawaii is about one quarter of the westbound straight line between Japan and Hawaii.

Well, I just typed “1 gallon in liters” into google and took the first number, because I couldn’t be bothered to deal with your system of measurement more than necessary. My point stands regardless of the exact volume of one gallon.

OF COURSE THERE IS MORE THAN ONE DEFINITION OF GALLON

Imagine getting Diesel in Germany. “Sorry, that was actually 15 liters of regular gas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯”

Edit: Ok, it’s not as bad as I imagined, since this picture seems to be about E15/E10, not diesel/regular.

How fucking big are American canisters? In Germany the regular size is 5l, [Edit: just shy of a bit more than] one gallon.

oil and cyanide were among the 371m lb of pollutants

Why does a food producer even have these things?

The website is quite tight-lipped regarding features. What’s a ‘smart playlist’?

I’m not sure anymore how I got into a state where that was necessary, but do keep a reference around for how to boot Linux or Windows from the Grub command line.

Could someone enlighten me what Deus Ex is about without spoiling more than two hours of gameplay?

You vastly underestimate the tolerance of an average user who barely knows their way around a web browser and Word.

It’s conceivable as an adventure trip or if a Portuguese wanted to see Northern lights. But I guess the trip NY–LA is way more common.

The States’ population centers are on the far edges of the continent. That’s not the case in Europe, where they’re more evenly distributed.
