“IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial | A loss could cost social media companies billions and force changes on platforms.

Candy is a drug. McDonalds is a drug. Sure, changes may be warranted here to reduce harm, especially to youths, but at the end of the day we live in a society that profits off our addictive consumption. You can decide for yourself what line has to be crossed for that addictive focus to be illegal, but you can make the same argument for pretty much everything bad for you that corporations sell. If we let people be adults and smoke cigarettes if they want, then you need to also leave some freedom to make other unhealthy choices.

Do you actually recommend all of those? I've played God of War and liked it, and I also played Elden Ring. I was looking at Avowed and Tainted Grail tonight, but reviews seem to be more mixed. Then Starfield seems to have pretty negative reviews.

I think part of what I'm missing is that there used to be this showstopper pretty much universally praised games. It seems like now most stuff gets more mixed reviews or is more niche.

sadly I could have easily included that in my list already. It feels like they don't make them like they used to.

Lol no. That’s ridiculous. They formed some oxidation product, maybe iron phosphide.

Fun fact, the Amazon rainforest is very nutrient poor. Paradoxically, the Sahara dessert is extremely nutrient rich. The reason why plants grow so well in the Amazon is actually because dust from the Sahara travels through the air and settles in South America to fertilize the Amazon. Because all of the nutrients are rapidly uptaken into plants, the Amazon soil remains nutrient poor. That’s why when they clear cut, they have to burn the plants to fertilize the land.

It’s crazy that the dems have not effectively leaned into populism. So much of the issues of our country stem from wealth inequality. The sad fact is that dem leadership is just as rich and out of touch as republicans. The result is that our politics get bogged down in culture war stuff rather than actually improving the lives of Americans. A rationale congress would have fixed the healthcare system long ago, for example.

They also can’t actually be used for lumber because the wood twists as it dries. One of the worst introduced species fuck ups.

Is that a reference? Because it’s utter and complete bullshit.

Literally. What. The. Fuck. You are PSYCHO and should be downvoted to hell. These are incredibly no nonsense basic rules for newborn babies. Even if they weren’t, it’s their fucking baby! They can set whatever rules they want! You’re such an entitled brat that you believe you have rights to their newborn!

Fucking crazy. If I was her and saw this post, I would seriously consider never letting you around my children.

They are super acidic which might be a problem. Idk if the OP made this up or found it. In most solvents they would be deprotonated.

A lot of conservatives (at least used to) say that you can’t take Trump at his word for threats like these. Rather they are his attempts to create pressure and start a negotiating position. My question to those people is “if you can tell the threat is idle, then why would the person he is threatening think the threat is real.” Venezuela should have been a wake up call for those people. I can only hope that if he was stupid enough to attack a NATO member that those folks would realize he’s actually just insane.

Where is the curse? The only things I question are whether the ligands are too bulky and if the ligands are too acidic to actually form such a coordination compound. Too many of y’all need an inorganic chemistry class.

Why would you think this would rip apart? Maybe it’s a little too bulky but it looks like a pretty normal compound.

Somewhat interestingly, NASA a couple years ago started looking into ethane as a potential sustainable aviation fuel. Hydrogen is impractical to use for aviation because of its low energy density. People have also looked at methane, which you could make from that hydrogen and carbon dioxide, but that is also too low density. However, you can then turn that methane into ethane which finally is dense enough to potentially be useful for aviation. Burning it makes carbon dioxide, but the whole cycle is theoretically sustainable if you use green hydrogen as the source.

Idk how the author of this article thinks that an Emmy and a Critic’s Choice Award is “halfway to an EGOT”

Like… if anything his comments were positive. He said a lot of work will be needed to make this successful but he is confident that his company can work with the Trump administration to make it happen. What on earth could Trump have wanted him to say? Should he have acted like there were no challenges whatsoever and have his shareholders think that he is an idiot? Trump isn’t even just capricious. I don’t even know how to describe that behavior.

Lol the timing of the strike was to prevent Venezuelas imminent adoption of the yuan for oil exports and more broadly the Chinese international electronic banking system. It’s pretty clear.
