This is probably going to be an unpopular comment... but these articles are all super misleading. The physical books are getting destroyed, but their content is getting digitized. Is that a loss? Absolutely. But is there a benefit? Also yes.
The biggest loss is probably the fact that destroying the physical books removes them from circulation, making them essentially permanent additions to these companies' book collections.
The current economic regime is less like "capitalism" and more like "feudalism with corporations."
I'm pretty sure they're trying to say that, if you were to realistically simulate orbital mechanics, the framework generates terrain 9 times faster than the player could reveal new terrain via orbiting, making it possible to calculate at runtime.
I also thought it looked a bit sloppy. I couldn't find it with a reverse image search, and AI detectors seem convinced it's fake. Where's it from?
Definitely unpopular by the literal statistics. Definitely correct about the health benefits. Definitely something I don't do.
Also, it's a little strange that some desserts are only ever for special occasions (like cake), but others which may be just as difficult/expensive to make are considered regular fare (like ice cream).
The thing that gets me is when car designers make a car that's trying to be something it's not. It's an EV, not an ICE vehicle. If anything, amplify the motor hum under load (accelerating). Don't simulate engine sounds. We're tired of living in a simulation.
Ugh. That old, awful meme. All these years, I never quite understood what about it makes me cringe and wrench my gut so much... But maybe now I have the words: anyone who knowingly exploits the suffering of others ultimately has evil intent.
For being such an "America first" administration, they sure do spend a lot of money on immigrants...
Sure. But for once, just this once, can we celebrate a win?
False dichotomy. What next? All men are toxic because of their masculinity?
It takes strength to empower others. Men are strong when they empower others (including women). That's literally all that Talarico is saying. How is that incompatible with feminism?
You've just repeated the kind of rhetoric that gives rise to _anti-feminism; your definition of "feminism" is less about empowering women than it is about suppressing men, and I don't like it one bit.
Swamps and wetlands are very ecologically productive places.
They've drained the swamp an replaced it with a Superfund site.
