FIFA peace prize in shambles

I like to think that sentence finishing has something to do with brain synchronization

Mcdonald’s did a promotional video where the ceo (this guy^) ate their new burger on camera to show even the ceo likes their burgers, but people thought he seemed like he’d never eaten a burger and now he’s presumed reptilian until further proof.

Interesting Spain is a significant outlier in this one

The study results: https://www.scribd.com/document/1008628446/IPSOS-International-Women-s-Day-2026

Key findings:

You don’t think there’s a use case for small, rural communities that don’t have reliable tap water supply lines?

I think testing in the desert was mainly to develop and test the technology.

I definitely don’t know anything about the company but it doesn’t seem targeted towards survivalists in the article

Google will probably filter these out of results now so it’s harder to tell. glad it was exposed though

Didn’t they already name his son?

It must to some extent, could potentially be minimal though. Plus we should keep in mind that taking water out of the ground or waterways isn’t ecologically inert either. Hopefully some desert experts can assess.

Okay I was skeptical until I got to the name but now I’m fully on board and ready to invest some negative numbers. Can we call our ‘novel debt vehicle’ Carbon Collateralization?

“Operation Carbon Cloud harnesses the power of carbon collateralization to allow shrewd investors to leverage natural carbon capture into HUGE negative numbers.”

Maybe we could try ‘carbon keeping’ or ‘carbon never releasing’ where we keep the carbon that is currently buried underground buried underground instead of digging it up and releasing it into the atmosphere. I will try to come up with a flashier name.

Agreed, I just think we need to nurture how people relate to/ground their opinions before theory can take root properly. Currently both science and politics are treated like sophistry—it’s all a matter of argument

What I think is especially unhelpful is people who have not read enough theory to understand what they are talking about (let alone considered it in the context it was written), but they are passionate about an issue so they try to debate people using the logic of that theory and they end up just making the theory seem like nonsense because they didn’t understand it. Only in the context of debate does it make sense to argue for a theory you don’t really grasp. Debate is about winning an argument but not about what is ‘true’ or ‘right’. I would rather that person just stick to their guns on the basics of whatever the argument is over (ie. genocide is bad no exceptions). This way they stand firmly on their own feet but can also have confidence in their reasons even without a nuanced historical perspective of how things got to where they are.

Anyway I love reading and discussing theory and philosophy (including your guides) and find it extremely rich and rewarding. It should be used as fodder to help you think rather than a guidebook to inform what you should think.

I like the anarchist tendency to encourage thinking for yourself because I think outsourcing political opinions and generally the narrative that politics is too complicated for the layman to fully grasp goes a long way in enabling a world where everything is treated as sophistry leaving gaps for people to blindly follow ideologues. Something similar happened with science and now we have folks ‘debating’ things that are clear as day if you just look.

Encouraging each person to think for themselves isn’t to say everyone should live in a private conspiracy. I think everyone should take a course in propositional logic or higher because it truly helps your brain sort through information more clearly and quicker, and makes you much sharper at catching sophistry.

In ourselves we should try to note when we hit that point in an argument when we are arguing just to win. At that point we should (potentially apologize) and bow out. Arguing just to win is unhelpful.

Theory is much more helpful once you have your feet under you. You are committed to dignity for all. That is a strong position to assess the world from. The categories are quite clear. Once you are here reading theory, especially examples of successful revolutionary projects, helps you understand the types of tools and approaches you might use (or avoid) to bring about change. It also saves lives to avoid strategies that commonly fail.

An incredibly big brain way to lose your money!

It’s a satire site so your instincts are good:) I hope he deserves the charitable interpretation

At press time, Carney was fully convinced that this was going to be the time that a US attack on a Middle Eastern country was finally going to lead to peace and security for its people.

It sounds like you’ll be an excellent representative without a lot of prep to me. Your honest perspective and examples are balanced and you seem to understand ceo vibe based business decisions can be swayed by practical considerations.

My non-tech office job has pushed AI a bit but mostly backed off when I demonstrated that I had considered where I could integrate it but that the technology wasn’t stable/reliable enough to build into workflows that are supposed to be consistent year over year. The models are constantly being updated so you don’t get the same behaviors day to day. This issue would be alleviated somewhat if you used a custom model where the question would become whether or not it was more efficient/cost effective to train a custom model vs whatever the current workflow is.

Another big concern in my opinion is company/project longevity. AI bubble aside, tech companies are constantly changing their structures and priorities. If we adapt our workflows to piggyback on this or that model and it gets cut by google or whoever, we’re left in a bit of a tight spot.

That fits well with them ending tenure, a mechanism specifically there to protect discourse the government might not like
