I think this is one of those instances where the process is the punishment

Just read through the article, Hudud appears to refer to a very specific range of crimes/offenses as laid out by the Qur’an, none of which include wearing a colorful hijab

There are certainly reasons women wouldn’t want to stand out, but I don’t think this is one of them lil goat

Steam can delist all of Ubisoft’s games from their storefront in retaliation to what Ubisoft does on their own independent store

Other way around but yea

The colors should match the colors on the flag. Blue with 50 stars for the boys, horizontal red and white stripes for the girls

We’re in the New Gilded Age

I think it depends on the reason you do not use it. The Luddites were primarily frustrated over automation displacing their high-skill job with low-skilled ones that produced worse quality goods. It’s a 2 for 1: we are losing the jobs we need to survive, but also we lose the personal touch from the work of artisans + lose appreciation for their talent.

I am not carte blanche against AI as a concept, but it really does seem like a technology that makes interactions worse quality, more depersonalized, and on top of that it has a horrible externalized environmental cost which benefits nobody in the long run.

Addendum: I believe technology has the power to be liberating when it provides for all of us, and oppressive when it concentrates wealth+power into the hands of moguls and tyrants.

If it gets you talking about it, even in the context of telling them to shut the fuck up, it’s working :)

You see, the thing is that this particular house actually required a lot of skill and planning to make

You always think you remember how to center a div until you try to do it again after a few years

Is he signed up to be an organ donor?

Hey I don’t disagree with your points but just wanted to mention that El Salvador is in North America (in a sub-region known as Central America)

On average, disposable plastic bottles shed microplastics much more prolifically than plastic water piping.

I could be wrong, but they likely asked because vinyl/PVC is generally toxic to the environment so it was probably a means of asking whether your neighbor replaced the foliage in their yard with a fixture that poisons the ground. I wouldn’t be surprised if the strips in the chain link were vinyl, as that’s a pretty common outdoor filler material.

I’m not the person you replied to, but pretty sure the question was whether the neighbor in your story replaced their hedge with a vinyl fence specifically.

It’s the same “I’ll respect you if you respect me” dynamic in an imbalanced-power system.

I’m screwing you over if I personally feel bad for what I’m doing to you (never happens, therefore I’m always fair). You’re screwing me over if you inconvenience me.

It’s just premusk twitter at this point.

I mean, given that Jack Dorsey founded it as basically the “not Twitter Twitter” after musk bought the main one, I don’t think it’s surprising to see it face basically the same moderation issues in the name of being “even-handed”

Deliberately sabotaging your job as a government worker (assuming you’re not working in a military industrial complex or enforcement job) plays directly into the right’s framing of government as inefficient. It’s important that public-facing positions be competent to foster public trust; after all, those positions are what conservatives dismantle first as pretext to abolish an agency. After public discontent sets in through first-hand experience dealing with understaffing, those public services become ripe for privatization.

That’s generally true under the paradigm of profit maximization unless you reach some sort of insane tech breakthrough, which deepseek seems to have accomplished
