This dev has me deeply suspicious. A bunch of games updated within the last day suddenly made free, some with pretty blatant copyright infringement, all completely devoid of description or screenshots of the games themselves.

In Australia the ruling Labor Party has as its official policy a peaceful two-state solution, but the only one elected representative from Labor who actually voted in favour of a motion to recognise the Palestinian state (not even for the country to recognise it officially, just the purely symbolic recognition of the Senate) got forced out of her party by the cowards who can't even vote in a purely symbolic vote in favour of the policy their party officially stands for.

Sounds really, really awful, but I suspect it's something Revanced will reverse. And YouTube is nearly unusable without Revanced these days.

Dude's the opposite of a NIMBY. Only In My Back Yard.

Sounds like a repeat of the Maccas case. They probably shouldn't be serving drinks so hot they can cause 2nd degree burns in an environment where they can expect turbulence to be a relatively common experience.

But most people will probably hear about this and blame an overly litigious/greedy Karen.

The ICC literally has a rule that a country without a women's team or pathway can't be full members. But the ICC can't even be bothered to enforce that rule (and neither can the cricketing world—of full members, only Australia has cancelled matches against Afghanistan in protest, and even we can't be bothered doing that during multilateral fixtures like world cups), I don't have much hope that more significant bodies will.

They have to be playing dumb, surely. Especially the 17-year-old one…

No idea how many abstained, or of those that abstained, how many did so because of the Biden/Harris administration's support for the ongoing genocide.

But 3rd party? Even if 100% of the third party votes —even those who voted Libertarian or for that antivax nutter, who probably would have leaned Trump before Harris in reality anyway—had instead gone to Harris, Trump still would have won both the EC and the popular vote. 3rd party votes probably were a deciding factor in 2016 and they were definitely a deciding factor in 2000. But not this time.

Omg it's like Cows & Cows & Cows, but sheep.

It's been a while, but I believe this video was where I heard it. From memory (I'm out right now and can't rewatch to verify) it was specifically the per-kilometre carbon emissions, not taking into account manufacturing costs.

Obviously there's some fuziness depending on your diet and the power source used for charging. A vegan who would be charging in a coal-powered grid is going to look better, relatively speaking, for an analogue bike than someone who eats multiple kilos of red meat every week who has solar panels.

I'm kinda tired of arguments that expect the minoritized group to not "radicalize" the majority group. Why is it on the people who are being oppressed to not offend people aren't even necessarily oppressors? Honestly, this comment is tone deaf as fuck.

It's respectability politics. The same as when people complain about climate protestors blocking roads etc. There's a huge segment of society that cares more about avoiding any sort of conflict than achieving just outcomes.

The vast majority of my time on Reddit was on smaller communities where that wasn't true. The experience on Reddit of the defaults compared to more niche communities was like night and day.
