OfCourseNot

It depends. How dark is the kid’s skin? Are they in a poor neighborhood?

I don’t think so. You can tell by their billion miles stare they don’t have much of a choice but to put up with his crap for now.

Evolution’s fucking badass!

The process that made these images is very similar to the ones used by genAI in some ways.

You are just rejecting reality then. You’ve said YouTube or other big social media to be the ‘virtual town squares’ but they are not, they are virtual malls. Also real life town squares can have rules imposed by the town council too.

They have plenty of other places to go with their content, some platforms aren’t for them and that’s ok. But they don’t want to express themselves shouting from a soapbox in the town square, they want to sell their content in the mall and these particular malls just don’t sell that kind of product.

I don’t think freedoms are opposed here. Creators have the freedom to express themselves that freedom just doesn’t force anyone to give them a platform. They can use their own or another one that’s willing to host their content, which there are many, and then if they, creators or platform, are legally punished it would be a violation of their freedom of expression.

There is not a fundamental right to use other people’s platform for your expression. That’s not what freedom of expression means.

I think the other commenter was talking about the lady in the picture.
The song is a popular song a bit older than great big sea. Edit: the song starts at ~1:09

This is a fuse box, with a flathead you should be able to open it and/or pull a small tray with the fuse itself inside. You Brits do your electrical wiring with ring-shaped circuits and put a fuse in every outlet.

This kind of outlet is intended for things you don’t unplug and a socket doesn’t make sense, usually boilers, ovens, stoves, ACs, alarm systems as already commented…

I’m afraid not.

Take this with a pinch of salt, I’m not a programmer just a nerd that likes those kind of things. I tried them years ago first swift (I think it was in version 2) and a couple years later rust, and while both are great I found swift makes it easier to write clear code you’re gonna understand and like when you come back to it. Rust was better I think with concurrency (at the time), you’ll catch everything at compile time, but they talk about interoperability with c++, so this safety will be lost since most code interfacing with c++ will be unsafe.

Or the pg tips approach: ‘d’ya know what? No more tag or thread for ya now you’ve got to fish and pinch the baggy out of your scolding tea ya wanker’.

Yeah maybe not even non-standard as much as non-formal in this case.

I wanted to mean ‘different from what you learn in English class in school as a kid’ so non-formal, non -standard, dialectal, slang, misspellings, same-sounding words…

More or less my point, languages are weird with lots of arbitrary idiomatic things—‘would rather’ but ‘had better’.

After posting the comment I’ve thought ‘wait, it makes more sense for it to be should’ so my guesses are a bit off today.

That’d be a contraction of ‘would’ in this case, wouldn’t it? As an ESL speaker I used to find these grammar ‘mistakes’ (for lack of a better word) made more difficult for me to parse the sentences. As with code ‘written once but read many times’ would apply here.

But isn’t that example absolute ‘misandry rage bait’ tho? I had to look it up (because I haven’t been so terminally online lately) and, after skimming through some discovery channel results, it seems like exactly that.

Those videos just cherry pick the answers that are gonna give them more ‘engagement’, I do believe that ‘I prefer to encounter a random bear rather than a random man while alone in the forest’ to be a rather ‘misandrist’ (just plainly dumb honestly) answer, and I don’t believe this is what a majority of women think. So I see it as obvious bait to drive those that like to cry misandry when they are forced to try women as equals to the comments.

Quick edit: if the question would have been ‘who have hurt you less?’ Or ‘by whom are you less threatened on a daily basis?’ then ‘bears’ is definitely a reasonable answer.

That’s a really neat alliteration! And also very true!

I’ve never used a 3d printer so take this with a grain of salt, but I have made a few simple parts in freecad and autocad (without any experience or formal education with them, and without a physical part as reference) and it didn’t take much time, I guess someone who knows what they’re doing having the broken part to just copy it could do it in minutes.

I found this map, but there ain’t many of them that side of the pond.

I just learned about these so don’t really know how they do it, but you can cannibalize some of the broken ones for spare parts. Also for what I understand many are periodic or even stable so people who need a part can get it and come back another day. I’ve seen one looking around done in a place where they have a 3d printer.

With cleaning and lubing; screws, bolts, nuts; cables and contacts you can resuscitate a lot of appliances and domestic machines. If you can also 3d print the shitty small plastic parts that break, even for a sturdier one if possible, that could save people a lot of money and tons of waste.

True, maybe ‘advice’. Like her only chance is going left (like American Liberal ‘left’…), I don’t think there’s a lot of votes going right for Harris.
