were temporarily transported to heaven

Makes sense, the japanese monarchy is one of the few that still claims divinity and Shintoism still says they should be venerated.

I could see it being a good way to support artists, if that's where the money is going.

She was chosen as the face of the movement after she had gotten arrested. She was chosen over another young woman who had gotten arrested for the same thing but was deemed less sympathetic because she was a teen mom, who probably inspired parks to resist.

While the boycott and legal defense was definitely a collective action coordinated by a large organization, parks sitting on the bus that day was not coordinated / ordered by the NAACP, many in the leadership were surprised parks had gotten arrested as she was typically soft spoken. Parks sitting that day was her choice, a choice inspired by many people in the movement she was part of, but ultimately she's the one who did it with no guarantee of backing from the NAACP or the community, and I think that shows her bravery even more.

AI apps such as Claude and Manus can now request Windows 11 for permission to access files using File Explorer. This is an optional feature, and it’s going to be your concern only when you use one of the AI apps.

How is this different then Claude code cli cating files? Just the UI?, cause this has been a thing on Mac and Linux for a while now.

Probably not, the way Russia is right now it's more likely some nationalist military commander fills that power vacuum then a sane democratic regime.

中國超人 just translates to "Chinese super man" I guess for copyright reasons they couldn't go with that in the US, but where'd they get "infra man" from?

Sort of like how the lesson they took away from the Holocaust wasn't that it was bad because it was a genocide, it was bad because they weren't supporting Jewish people and therefore they must help Israel with there genocide.

Something is bad only if the bad guys do it , otherwise it's necessary for security.

We're talking about median, and the median person in the US gets employer provided healthcare and usually some form of employer pension/401k contribution plus social security, so I don't think those would be much different cost wise for a median US vs UK resident. I'm sure Britain uses there taxes better than us and has better benefits, especially for the poor, but I don't think that fully accounts for the gap.

Without chicanery? Yes

Without luck? No

Median post-tax household income is £36.7k

Wow that seems low, US median household income is $83k, even with taxes and conversion that seems like a significant gap and I always thought US and UK had similar price levels. Are taxes just that much higher? Or are households smaller ? Or are incomes in the US just that much better?

The person was talking about how certain people annoy them, he may have implied it was you but if you don't think description matches say so and move on.

But if we're talking about being a good digital neighbor, you should try and see how your implication is annoying or offensive. There are issues with credentialism but it is not just some arbitrary aristocracy, people put in a lot of work to get there credentials and take pride in them. If you start saying all these experts don't know what they're talking about and I found out something they couldn't is dismissive of all the work those experts put into learning about there field. Like don't you think doctors get annoyed by all the homeopaths or anti vaxers who dismiss all there work because theyve done there own research?

I guess she's leaving with some integrity. Hard disagree with most of her beliefs but at least she stuck to them and didn't just kowtow to the pedophile president.

Guess I have some of the same sort of respect for her that the right shows to Bernie, sort of a don Quixote lunatic with honor.

This and trump has been blowing off media that gives him "hostile" questions so he instinctively does it for his guests too. See his latest press conference with Mohammad bone saw.

The truth is Trump's greatest enemy is not socialists or woke, it's the media and he'll do anything to own them

It is a meaningless resolution, but the context / why they did is probably:

1. A socialist just won the election for mayor of New York and they're mad about that
2. They're gearing up for war with Venezuela and if people aren't buying that Maduro is the head of a drug cartel, then they can try the good old fashioned "we need to invade to free these poor people from the horrors of socialism" schtick that worked so well in the Cold war. The resolution puts Hugo Chávez and Nicolas Maduro on the same level as Stalin and Polpot.

I think it's more how your donors play to this performative bs, Jeffries is in Brooklyn and most of his district just elected a socialist for mayor.

What great crimes of history has Hugo Chavez committed?, feeding the poor. I'm no fan of Maduro either but putting him up there with stalin and polpot is farcicle.

guess they gotta start manufacturing consent now if they want to go to war with Venezuela before the midterms.

Assuming this is setting a price ceiling on tickets to there performer set price, then whoever refreshes the resale site most often and is able to get the tickets as soon as they go up will get them.

If anything this will hurt Ticketmaster as with any price control it will lead to a black market, so scalpers will just go there to sell there marked up tickets instead of Ticketmaster because Ticketmaster has to operate above board.

Initially yes, and they were probably grinning ear to ear when they first bought it, just like we were all grinning ear to ear when we first drove by ourselves, but once the novelty and excitement wear off it goes back to the meh face.

It's like skiing/snowboarding, the first couple times you go down a run your having a great time, but once it doesn't become a challenge then it loses its excitement and fun. With skiing though theres a lot more elements of variation (trees, bumps, jumps, narrow trails, grade variations, snow conditions ...) to keep things interesting whereas driving roads can only vary with curves and grades, both of which are in a much narrower band of variation for safety reasons.

There's a reason tons of people spend tons of money every year going skiing but not too many people are renting super cars to go and drive around the hills.

You almost never see anyone happy in a Ferrari either. Look inside one and you'll see someone with the same blank expression that you see on everyone driving and anyone on the bus. Despite what car commercials drill into your head no car will change that meh feeling.

wildly inaccurate "natural history"

If you consider the fact it was written in 1850 it is surprisingly accurate, like it was talking about whales eating giant squids a century before the scientific community accepted that.

Also the whale descriptions are the point, the book is about the enlightenment drive to understand and therefore master nature with Moby dick standing in as a refutation of that idea, being unconquerable no matter how much knowledge you have. Without the descriptions you could write off Ishmael and the crew as a bunch of idiots who just didn't have the know how to take down Moby dick.
