full Taiwanese independence is still a minority held belief on the actual island

Excuse me wut

The way they behave I think they meant to use “and” instead of “or”.

Informed consent laws were around well before The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks came out. I think there were earlier publicized examples of subject mistreatment (like Tuskegee) that already pushed the field to be better.

23andme requires you to agree to what they ask, which is far more than what Johns Hopkins did for Henrietta Lacks.

Nah I think it was when Nixon won the Presidency. You can draw a straight line from that corrupt fuck to so many of our current problems.

Is he lying? He’s just dressing formally and showing off how heels don’t have to be just for women.

DeSantis for gender equity in clothing 2024. Let it happen (but don’t vote for him plz).

It’s almost like our entire world of modern technology is inextricably connected to the economics that support it.

Because they only get famous enough to get votes by being outrageous enough to score headlines.

They’re very similar to the Taliban in that regards.

Oh cool, is there anything similar for lemmy?

Nah, the remaining employees aren’t the “dead wood” necessarily. They’re all the ones on H1 visas who can’t legally work in the US anywhere else (without taking a massive risk).

I may be missing the reference here?

I love the fediverse, but it hasn’t fully solved the migration need problem. If I open an account on an instance which I later discover I don’t like, I have to migrate for that as well.

The point as I see it is just limited to who do I want to follow, and what platforms can I use to do so? If bluesky turns to shit in a decade, but I get value out of it for that decade, maybe that’s enough for my needs.

(FWIW, I am not on bluesky)

Just Google it, the advice you always hear when the other person is shutting down any more conversation. What an unfortunate result

I bet they could get the Democrats’ help! All they have to do is nominate a Democrat for Speaker. What a beautiful opportunity for bipartisanship!

…wait that’s not what they meant?

Mint was my first, Pop is my current and fave.

Just remember to check your favorite Steam games on protondb.com to see how well it runs on Linux.

That “game” of which you speak is an appeal to privilege in its most obscene form: claiming an ancestral myth that allows you to impact extreme violence against other humans whose only crime is being born into the wrong bloodline.

It’s 2023 CE out here but some cultures are pretending it’s 2023 BCE

I actually appreciate this article. I’m not near where I need to be to invest in solar, but the details of the corporate fuckery that goes on in rooftop solar providers is helpful to learn.

Republican politicians live by “I’ll be gone, you’ll be gone” at the end of the day.

They know the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag.

I remember thinking a similar thing in early 2016

I can’t think of a rule more likely to drive children into religion than banning children from religion.

Couple that with the very natural existential crisis moment kids have when they really start thinking about their own mortality and you’ve got a recipe for another religious Great Awakening.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say religions are doing great at driving the next generations away by doing whatever they’ve been doing.
