I’m glad he took a moment to specify the difference between pessimism and doomism.

I readily admit that I’m a quiet pessimist… but I also hope I’m wrong, and I still think we should do everything possible to combat climate change.

Pretty sure any dairy product and any meat is a non-Kosher combination. I’m not an expert, though.

Well, that makes it a lot easier. Thanks!

Yeah, but to eat Kosher you can’t serve meat and cheese together. If you go to a Kosher deli in New York, for example, if you want cheese on your sandwich they’ll serve you the cheese on a separate plate. You have to put the cheese on yourself.

So, what’s on the burgers isn’t considered “cheese”, or it IS cheese, but served on the side, or McDonald’s just said “fuck it” and serves cheeseburgers that aren’t Kosher. My guess is #1. It isn’t technically “cheese”, but some sort of “processed cheese food” crap. They already do that with their milkshakes, which don’t actually contain any milk.

They probably get away with it because it isn’t really “cheese” as most people define it.

When I started typing, I thought that was a joke, but now I’m genuinely curious.

McDonald’s is gross. This is probably the most severe consequence that the IDF will ever pay.

My first guess is that it would have been overpriced and deliberately incompatible with existing chargers. No loss.

What kind of fediverse search are you talking about? Provide a link. That would do much, much more than any explanations or testimonials possibly could.

Because people are dumb. If the machine knows when someone is looking at it, it can stop doing whatever it does to try and get your attention, and put itself in “sales mode”.

Still, you’re right. It seems like an overly complicated and expensive solution. Old-fashioned vending machines did the job just fine.

First, according to the family, the Russian bank where they moved the proceeds from selling their farm and belongings? It immediately froze their assets.

The parents (but not the kids) deserve it. They’re also doing a great job of showing their kids what extremist ideology gets you.

Don’t support corporate “personhood”. Refusing to call Twitter by the stupid name Musk has given it is 100% acceptable.

This was an interesting read, but I’ve got stuff to do today, so I skipped the 90 minute video on their “outrageously ambitious mission”. Anyone care to summarize?

This is only a temporary “problem”. Eventually, ads will be incorporated into the story, and/or advertising companies will include clauses in their contracts. I imagine those clauses will DEMAND that websites include advertising in AI readers or not get paid for any ads they run.

Think enshittification. AI readers are only ad-free now in order to make them seem like an attractive option, and get people hooked on using them. I bet the numbers have already been calculated and decided on. Once AI readers are used by enough people, the ads will start.

The alternative was worse. Most Presidential elections aren’t about picking the candidate you want - they boil down to who you dislike less.

Besides, I wasn’t “defending” anyone; I was simply pointing out a fact.

That would be true if we didn’t have an electoral college. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.

Microsoft reneged on promises it made in court…

If those promises aren’t legally binding, then why take them into account in the first place?

This might have been interesting a few months ago, when they were getting the kind of free publicity that CEOs would kill for. Now that the momentum is gone, though, nobody cares. They took WAY too long to get their shit together.

Don’t get me wrong - this is a genuinely tragic, maddening, horrific situation. However, “left unaccompanied” is hilariously bad translation.

Jesus. I always hated those ads, but even the industry’s own “self-regulatory” system thought 10G was bullshit.

That asshole Netanyahu puts me more on Palestine’s side every day.

Fuck their two months. Permanent ceasefire or nothing.
