- Comment on Trump threatens to ‘federalize’ DC after attack on Big Balls 1 hour ago:
In a post on his Truth Social platform, the president said he would “federalize” the city if local authorities failed to address crime, specifically calling for minors as young as 14 to be prosecuted as adults.
So he slept with 14 year olds then
He clearly wants to be able to say that’s the age they’re treated as adults.

- Comment on Wikipedia editors adopt a policy giving admins the authority to quickly delete AI-generated articles that meet certain criteria, like incorrect citations 1 day ago:
Do you think these people surreptitiously submitting articles written by AI are gonna be capable of validating what they’re submitting is even true? Particularly if the Wikipedia defense for this, is detecting made up citations?
This kind of thing makes something valuable to everyone, like Wikipedia, ultimately a less valuable resource, and should be rejected.

- Comment on Why is the colour of sunlight different in every country? 1 day ago:
Time of day and the photographers decisions in shooting and developing the photo (or lack of decisions in many cases) have a much bigger impact on this than where you are.
Second to that is probably local architecture, e.g. old town Marrakech will likely result in a redder tone photos than say a greek island, because a lot of the local building materials are going to be filtering out non red tones

- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 2 days ago:
Who taught you sex is a drug? As long as words mean their definitions, it’s categorically not. Plus it’s probably kinda harmful to pile on the stigma already surrounding sex by conflating it with drugs and all the stigma that comes with that.
Hopefully I’m wrong, but it’s kinda giving a nofap pseudoscience red flag to me.
Parents definitely should be teaching their kids about this stuff at the appropriate time, but they should stick to the facts.
- Comment on What would you do if your gym trainer is 5 minutes late? 2 days ago:
5 minutes is about 8% of an hour. If he’s just driving in at 5 past, it’s gonna be closer to 10 past before he’s actually training you.
He’s not giving you 15% of the hour you have paid for, and if he does it 7 times, he’s stolen a whole hour of training from you

- Comment on High street banks lose £100bn in deposits as UK savers shift to online rivals 2 days ago:
Well we have several on market street (probably what most people would think of as the high street) in Manchester, but perhaps that’s probably the exception rather than the rule compared to most of the rest of the country.

You know there’s no calories in normal seasoning?
Tasty food gives dopamine. Dopamine gives you motivation to do stuff.
You’re just unnecessarily doing it on hard mode without at least some pepper

The standard degree course is 3-4 years
I think this year’s intake will be the first where everyone at the uni will be post-chatgpt.
Between the pandemic and LLMs, I honestly reckon my uni experience from the end of the 00s is completely alien to those doing it today

Oh really? I always liked Brussels as a typically modern European city: a nice combo of old and new, friendly locals plus it’s nice and walkable and a decent variety of food options, though Bruges has them beat on walkability.
Plus they have a lot of great beer and the mitreillette, what’s not to like?
I’ve definitely been a few places I’d rank lower anyway
- Comment on Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand 3 days ago:
They think they’re more than a money pipe.
A competitor to MasterCard and Visa could show up with double their combined budget and do what they do to massively disrupt this particular industry. The average Joe would not give half a shit and continue paying for stuff with whatever card their bank gave them just like they always have.
The specific brand of payment processor a card uses is just not a thing people care about unless they have an Amex and that’s essentially because places don’t always take it.
