The problem with regulation is that most of these data giants are US companies, and due to regulatory capture since the 1980s you can't expect much to change there.

I'm no expert, but I feel like anywhere they use an algorithm to drive up "engagement" it leads into people being fed rage-bait and then them acting accordingly. This "attention economy" needs to end somehow.

Wow that was a lot of vitriol in one post. Hope you're doing ok.

Over here these disposable vapes are unfortunately not banned (which I would prefer too) so taxation would be a step in the right direction. We do have litter here too though, as has been the case with mankind since day one of civilization.

Might only take until mid-term elections next year to have dems in power again. That could change things somewhat.

These things should be taxed heavily

I appreciate you putting it into words instead of just upvoting

Up/Downvoting is so 2015. Instead, comment on any interesting posts, and especially the ones with zero comments. This platform is meant to be about discussion, and not just mindlessly sharing links or memes.
I, personally, am more inclined to check out a post if it has at least one (non-bot, non OP) comment.

That's a good quote.

Also props for recognizing your own people-pleasing tendencies. And I'm glad to hear you've worked on it. It takes time to understand what causes us to be like that. It might be out of fear of rejection or some other unwanted outcome. And it could be based on some irrational assumptions or beliefs.

To be able to accept any outcome in any situation is very difficult, but a strong foundation for confidence and inner peace.

There are different kinds of kindness. The people-pleasing kind may come across as being naive and triggers some people. Another kind of kindness is to actually care and be curious about others and that usually comes across better.

I can't reproduce this behaviour. Do you refresh the page before removing the vote?

Would be a shame if a dozen eggs would accidentally land on that polished chrome surface

I was wondering the same... Like why is the skin on top. Then I re-read the title...

Tesla's reputation is not doing great

I wonder about the hygiene

After a few succesful hits? Wow, that (shit-mouthed) cat had patience!

At least someone should airdrop disposable film cameras there so this genocide doesn't go completely undocumented. Israel has effectively blocked all media from access to Gaza.

What does this 2 hours of preparation before work look like? I honestly have no idea

What was the cat's reaction?
