Ostatnio karierę robi pewien wywiad (pełen nieprawd) z detranzycjonerką, wiec z tej okazji warto wygrzebać klasyka.

Tranzycyjny problem wagonika
Nieznana liczba osób transpłciowych jest przywiązana do jednego z torów, podczas gdy rozpędzony wagonik zaraz wjedzie na drugi tor, pusty, ratując im życie. Ale ta jedn osoba tam na dole może z własnej woli wejść na pusty tor. Czy pociągniesz za dźwignię, poświęcając osoby transpłciowe, aby ocalić tę jedną przed potencjalnym zrobieniem błędu?

Od lat tłumaczę ludziom, że tiktok to zło dla idiotów. Nieważne, że garstka ludzi, których lubimy, cenimy również tam publikuje. W amerykańskich pseudojadłodajniach możecie zjeść lub wypić coś nieszkodliwego, ale to niewielki ułamek dietetycznego dobra. Reszta ma kusić wyglądem, zapachem i dawać

Anyone claiming European countries face no greater threat than a year ago is lying. Still, we face no immediate invasion and cannot afford useless panic. To avoid fighting Russia inside the EU, we must send Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine now and secure victory there

Some years ago I wrote somewhere that programmers eschewing labour #unions because they feel they have enough bargaining power are shortsighted: bargaining power of #labour is rarely stable. For example, car mechanics used to be very highly paid professionals who could choose their jobs.

The USFS said the climbers told them they had used an artificial intelligence platform, YouTube videos and AllTrails to plan the trip. They said they relied on AI to decide what food to bring and how much food and water they would need.

The group said it packed supplies for an eight-hour climb, not its roughly 16-hour ascent. The climbers said AI recommended simple carbohydrates instead of fats because fats “take too long to digest.”

One thing that's really evident about the pied-a-tierre tax: it was a brilliant move to call it that — everyone who argues against it sounds like they're defending tax-free caviar. Contrast to San Diego's "empty homes tax" ballot measure which lost 55-45 in a 70-30 Dem city.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Reminded that Trump was the one who originally wanted to ban TikTok after kids on TikTok reserved a bunch of fake seats for a rally, leaving an empty stadium. And then the Democrats handed him the ban (because they were upset that kids were saying mean things about Israel) for Trump to "save."

Trump posting on truth social about how he's "Number 1 on Tiktok" saying: "From Shou Chew, CEO of TikTok: “Attached are the latest numbers of the President on TikTok. All time views of #Trump TikToks are now at 425 billion. Also, 1 billion new views across UFC 250, Trump's Iran Peace Deal and “Happy Birthday, Mr. President" TikToks in just 48 hours!
Wishing the President a belated happy birthday!”"

And then showing an infographic saying that Trump has 425 billion views on TikTok.
