Most married same-sex couples worried about challenges to marriage equality: study
  • Because historically the purpose of marriage was the secure economic and political alliances, and importantly produce heirs so that wealth stayed in the family. Even the idea of formally asking for the consent of the two people to be is only around 1000 years old.

    Marriage first and foremost is a legal contract to bind your wealth together. The romance is just marketing.

    Ten key moments in the history of marriage - BBC News - https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17351133

  • App development
  • On the surface it seems reasonable, but it tends to have misogynistic undertones, especially if said towards strangers.

    It's like when the paparazzi publishes photos of celebrities with no makeup without their consent. If her makeup skills are good, she gets accused of "deceiving" people about her real age/looks. If her makeup skills are bad, she just gets called ugly.

  • Is Science Fiction Inherently Hopeful?
  • No. On the Beach by Nevil Shute is a sci fi story about the survivors of a global nuclear war in Australia, and as a warning against the futility of war everyone eventually dies of radiation poisoning.

  • Anyway to make $20 a day online consistently?
  • If she is fluent in English then there are some legit options (as in, will comply with minimum wage laws).

    There are tech "consulting"/talent agencies which offer gig work where you help assess AI, i.e. rate and correct LLM responses, correct road signs etc.

    There are also some foreign news stations which run English programs, but pay gig workers to rate/correct their pronunciation.

  • Toyota apologizes for cheating on vehicle testing and halts production of three models
  • Volkswagen got all the flack because they were the first to get caught. Subsequent independent testing revealed that basically all manufacturers cheated their emissions, and actually to a much larger degree than Volkswagen.
