  • Alabama ranked at the near bottom of best States to live in

  • A lot of firefighting company actually used to be private, owned and operated by insurance companies

  • Pete Hegseth Announces New Required Pentagon Testosterone Tests

  • they're utterly incapable of defining male as anything but a 20 year old getting drunk, playing sports, and breaking things.

    Don't forget ramming his cock into any woman he wants, regardless of whether they could give consent or not.

  • Pete Hegseth Announces New Required Pentagon Testosterone Tests

  • You know, now that you say it, it makes sense. They're affirming their gender to deny their age. When they look back at their teenage years and/or their early 20's, that's when (they believe) they were at their "most maximal manliest manliness", or in biology terms, the point when their testosterone levels were at their highest. As soon as a man hits 30, it's all downhill from there. And I speak from experience as a 35-year-old white guy. Some of my shit doesn't work how it did in my 20's. Some parts of me now ache that previously did not. It's harder for me to get up from a sitting position than it used to be. But I don't think the answer for that is to amp up my testosterone levels to try and go through puberty again.

  • Pete Hegseth Announces New Required Pentagon Testosterone Tests

  • Hmm. I didn't think of it like that, but I never considered that either gender has an "ideal state". It's also, I suppose that, for them, at least, that gender doesn't really factor into their desired state.

  • Pete Hegseth Announces New Required Pentagon Testosterone Tests

  • UPDATE: After taking all the responses to this into consideration, I now understand testosterone therapy to indeed be gender affirming care but Hegseth and the "Manosphere" crowd he identifies with prefer to affirm their gender by denying their age. They still want to be the "studs" they (thought) they were in high school. They're the same guys who wax nostalgically about their "glory days" when they were on the football team and how they "led the team to win the regionals"(but not state) and they "coulda gone pro" but one of "those people(you know who they're referring to)", "stole" their scholarship.

  • Tech bros having their production environments nuked by "AI" is never gonna get old

  • True, but if that final output had not been known to you, and/or you had set off the machine that triggered the bomb under duress, that changes your liability.

  • Federal judge orders Tacoma ICE center to allow health and safety inspections

  • Then the judge needs to add provisions that say ICE and Geo Group must prove that the jail is an office building. Same thing for if they claim it's a hospital. At which point I'm sure ICE will burn through its massive budget to sell the lie. Like, they turn the cells into offices really quickly, make the detainees wear a uniform that looks almost like "business casual" and coach them on how to sound like they work in an office or whatever.

  • Palantir posted a manifesto that reads like the ramblings of a comic book villain

  • You know there was an opinion piece I read in the Guardian about the reason the wealthy love private jets. It's because of the reduced number of human "touch points". They yearn to glide through life without ever interacting with another real human.

  • Federal judge orders Tacoma ICE center to allow health and safety inspections

  • Watch them claim that the holding cells are actually hospital rooms. Hell, why not say that the entire detention facility is actually a hospital? But it's a very special hospital that only admits certain kinds of patients and they also cannot be discharged. Of course, good luck getting the inspectors to believe the guards are actually all doctors and nurses.

  • Keeping tabs on citizens

  • So, basically like that one episode of "SuperJail!",? That one where the Warden basically takes over the US and turns all the citizens into inmates?

  • 40 year old hero

  • Exactly. Nothing wrong with a hero being at least middle-aged. Maybe they even have a spouse and kids they're leaving behind, or the kids are coming with them on the quest.

  • Palantir posted a manifesto that reads like the ramblings of a comic book villain

  • Basic necessities contingent upon obedience to the billionaires. Don't like it? Tough shit. Take what we give you, and keep any complaints locked in that empty, non-rich hat rack you call a head. In fact, we mandate that you smile and thank us as we pass you by on the street, grateful that we have granted you the privilege of another day of living. But be mindful, we can revoke that privilege any time it so pleases us.

  • At what point does a person become an "adult"?

  • Well, in the legal sense, I suppose it has to do with contracts and contract law. Some time ago in the US, it was determined that 18 was the legal age for adulthood because by then a person would be old enough to understand the terms of a contract and hold to those terms. Marriage is a contract. Military service is a contract. Getting a loan/mortgage is a contract.

  • Jobs Now in a Nutshell

  • The markets select for speed, not growth. Long-term gains are nice, but they aren't realized fast enough to prevent being consumed by the competitors seeking short-term gains. They move like piranhas and strip the slow-movers to the bone before they ever realize their gains.

  • US edges closer to popular vote deciding winner of presidential elections

  • States are permitted to enter into compacts with each other without Congressional approval. Democrats everywhere are rediscovering federalism and all its wonders. One thing I'd like my state to do is open a public bank, like North Dakota did. They opened it in 1919, and it was one of the few banks that weathered the Great Recession of 2008 without needing a bailout while Wall Street was on fire. A few years prior, North Dakota was facing a $48M budget crisis. The BND kicked in $25M, reducing the need for layoffs and spending cuts. It does everything a private bank does, but its profits go into North Dakota's general fund, instead of lining the pockets of investors.

    Want to know the real kicker? It's basically a socialist enterprise, in the reddest of red states. Republicans fucking hate the Bank of North Dakota, but it's proven too successful and too popular to kill. It would be political suicide for them to even try.

  • YSK that TikTok is harming children at an industrial scale. We know this because we obtained internal documents from the company

  • To add to this, Web 1.0 was also known as the "read-only" Web. Webpages were managed by their owners and those owners decided what visitors saw. Those visitors also did not have the ability to add their own content to the pages. They might have had the ability to comment, or to make posts on BBS sites, but they couldn't just submit anything. Then in 2004, it changed. We transitioned to Web 2.0. All the things you mention allowed visitors of webpages to actively submit content to those pages, and soon it became known as the "read-write" Web.

  • it's a matter of motivation

  • allocating a few days a month to all fit members of a community to do work which no one volunteers to do.

    I can agree to that as long as it's a spelled-out condition of living in that community. As an autistic person myself, I like having expectations and conditions written out clearly and concisely, in mutually agreed-upon language.

  • ICE agents reportedly detain wife of US soldier just days after their marriage

  • Exactly. They just shrug and go, "Oh, well. Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Has he considered marrying a white woman? He should head to his local church, I'm sure there's a nice young thing he can scoop up there."

  • Inside the Systemd Age Verification Debate: Developer Responds to Criticism

  • Privacy is one of those things I feel that if not everyone can have it, then nobody should. If the billionaires and the government want my secrets, then I want all of theirs.
