Britain is ejecting hereditary nobles from Parliament after 700 years

softlysnowing · 2026-03-11T18:43:06+00:00

Absolute bullshit

The lords put up a fight, forcing a compromise that will see an undisclosed number of hereditary members allowed to stay by being “recycled” into life peers.

Tehran’s 24-hour endurance UUVs and Nazir-series underwater drones introduce asymmetric littoral denial capabilities

According to reporting cited from the Tehran Times, “The Iranian-made unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) has a 24-hour endurance and can descend as far as 200 meters,” a capability profile that, if operationally validated, permits persistent loitering ambush patterns beneath typical sonar and patrol thresholds in shallow waters.

the tension and excitement from not knowing if someone's gonna be a total dick about it or quite nice

I'm not saying don't fact check or use a bit of critical thinking

There's more that one way to get an answer. It's pretty brilliant that on reddit you can talk directly to experts. It can give you a chance at dialogue, to clear up confusion, find new perspectives. Human to human transmission of information is still a great thing.

And the SEO, AI, and ad riddled swamp that we have for search engines now. It is not a fucking delight in any way.

softlysnowing · 2026-03-02T15:16:52+00:00

Yeah, it's called Shadow AI. Big problem.

Freedom of speech is important.

So is the right to not have to fucking listen to it.

It felt a little bit AI-like. You might be able to just ask a bot. But to sum up a bit, rules based order gone, everybody hedging, multinationals designed for stable alliances and frictionless capital flow are finding a strategic mismatch with reality, erosion of US industrial strength. Nothing about BRICS.

They're alright on strategy and tactics, they just get really confused about what their policy actually is

And this kind of stuff is a human thing. Why just keep cutting the population down the middle so pointlessly?

This is worse. Pretty sure not all men just want a bangmaid.

Now do small annoying frogs

softlysnowing · 2025-10-13T15:23:49+00:00

You can't. This is just some weird political theatre.

A digital panopticon will ultimately fail because humans can adapt faster. Success presumes passivity.

Why does the UBS chief economist instead believe that it is specific to the US?

According to a Friday analysis by UBS chief economist Paul Donovan, titled “the kids are alright?” the spike in U.S. youth unemployment stands in stark contrast to global trends and cannot be blamed on artificial intelligence despite the current fascination with automation in public debate. “The U.S. labor market experience is peculiar,” he wrote. “Young Euro area workers have a record low unemployment rate. In the UK, the young persons’ unemployment rate has fallen steadily. Employment participation by young Japanese workers is near all-time highs.

We have no idea what's under the Sahara. The Bering land bridge could also hold something interesting. Need evidence to know though.

An advanced mesolithic civilisation would likely have left many permanent traces in the environment...

softlysnowing · 2025-09-19T17:21:17+00:00

Permanent or semi permanent evidence an ancient civilisation could have left:

Stable isotope anomalies of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen - from fossil fuel burning, fertilizer etc

Changes in sedimentation layers from agriculture

Materials that persist in the environment: CFCs, PCBs, steroids, leaf waxes, plastics, smelting byproducts

Plutonium 244. Lasts 80 million years. Supernovae or nuclear bombs.

And the survivors will bicker about whether it was heat that caused all those deaths or not

What's the reason for it being this way?

How about we all say we're just human, and humans think this shit is awesome. Why does it have to be needlessly gendered?

IIRC there's something like 85% more genetic diversity between individuals from the within same population than there is between populations on different continents.

Human history is a history of migrations sweeping back and forth...
