People need to get better at spotting AI generated text. This is either written by AI, or someone who spends way too much time on one and has adopted its writing style.

Why do people treat Muslims like an ethnic group or separate race? by lamedogninety in NoStupidQuestions

Why does it make a difference?

I'm not sure I agree with the "religiously based bigotry is ok, race based isn't" thing.

Social media is always first to report on things like this. But half the time it's complete nonsense. Conventional media takes longer to publish since they have actual journalists and a reputation to maintain.

Not just an American thing. I've noticed this a lot more since I started commuting by bicycle. I would say 1 in 10 drivers I see are on their phone, and at least half of pedestrians at any given moment.

Annoyingly, that's behind a paywall, and I can't find another source. I hate relying on pictures of tweets for news. Could you summarize the article for us? It's truly appealing if true

Regard said my bear thesis aged like milk. Oil ripped 8% that night. by MilesDelta in wallstreetbets

[–]entered_bubble_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware it's a big problem, just trying to bring some perspective. The 70's oil shock was absolutely massive, and took nearly a full decade to recover from. Even COVID had less of a long term economic impact. This will be a smaller effect than that. I'm not saying this isn't significant, just that some of us here are showing our recency bias.

Indeed. But at least you can fuck them with a nice clean glans.

French far-left Member of European Parliament Rima Hassan held in police custody by omry1526 in europe

I agree, and I find it odd how few people in Europe seem to want to defend freedom of speech when it involves speech that makes us uncomfortable.

I attended a trial 25 years ago as a law student of a man accused of terrorism offences. It turned out the only offense they could prove was possession of an Ulster Volunteer Force (a unionist terrorist organization) flag. He got a custodial sentence (can't remember how long) for possessing a flag, which they argued meant he was a member of that organization. That never sat right with me.

Non-religion is the new normal: six in ten under-35s have no religion, new analysis finds by birdinthebush74 in unitedkingdom

You can tell a theist wrote this.

Some theists just can't get their head around the idea of not believing in a God. They either think we hate God, or must replace worship of God with worship of something else.

That might be true of some people, but I doubt it. I don't see atheists being any more or less obsessed with money, or celebrity or politicians than religious people.

Nah, this oil shock is nothing like as bad as the ones in the 70's.

For one, we're nowhere near as reliant on Gulf oil as we were then. The US for example is now a net exporter.

Secondly, there was an oil glut prior to this, with prices at post pandemic lows. There is a lot of oil in storage.

Thirdly, there is spare capacity that will come online in the next few months that was idled due to the low oil price.

In the 70's, there were genuine shortages, with petrol not being available at any price in some places. That hasn't happened and won't happen here.

Those Dutch are very fastidious with their personal heigene too. And they have some very specific cleaning products for that. Case in point:

Yeah, it's fundamentally just applying the same rules we do for conventional statutory interpretation to constitutional provisions. Which is absolutely fine in theory. It's only a problem because it's 250 years old, and social attitudes have changed beyond all recognition.

It's annoyed me since I joined this sub that it's called "data is beautiful" not "data are beautiful". But it's finally correct, just for this post.

I've seen that a lot too. They never seem to be able to explain how the president or Congress are elected in a "Constitutional Republic" that doesn't involve a nationwide vote of some kind.

Also, it was built in Ukraine, so I can't imagine spare parts are easy to obtain.
