Yes the girl at 3:08 wants to go first but he has to anyway.

What a sexist world. She should have just pushed him while laughing. It would have been better for everyone involved

You do realize you didnt actually argue against it being apartheid? You repeated a victim narrative, a common method in fascist systems to normalize crimes against humanity.

Its really worth reading Einsteins notes on Israel.

"“When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations build [sic] up from our own ranks. I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people.”" https://www.currentaffairs.org/2021/07/albert-einstein-the-p...

Should echo in the ears of everyone that ignored Trudeau warning

Murderous totalitarian regimes do not work. They quickly turn into mafia states. At its not something you end up in accidentally, its very visible by people falling back onto tribalistic narratives they prefer over reality.

Looking back at Einsteins letter from 1948, its worth remembering, that Hannah Arendt co-wrote it while being a Zionist. Anyone actually interested in a future for Israel should think really hard if revisionist Zionism is a way to achieve that.

Certification is a major issue here.

If you are going down a DRM search trip, both Widevine key dumping and DMCA compliant HDMI / HDCP downgrade hardware are quite interesting topics.
Explanation would be beneficial. Without you just make it more likely that someone does.
This isnt a one way argument. If this is stealing so is pollution reducing throughput sabotage. Prosecuting one but not the other is a value judgement which gets us to the nature of laws. They are not an end in itself and often times so stupid they get changed when unintended implications become clear.

edit: Someone posted https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/23799/has-anyon... a bit down with the following comment that highlights this quite well.

>At least here in germany, it is unclear whether "stealing" via induction is really stealing, the corresponding law explicitly states that a conductor is necessary. There have been lots of urban myths about it being forbidden, but the fact is that near lots of high power mid wave radio stations you automatically "steal" lots of power, e.g. just by having a neon tube installed in the "correct" direction.

"Crack House USA" was quite the accomplishment in my opinion. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1991025/

Intimate view through surveillance cameras over 6 weeks about the inner working of a crack house. With interviews from law enforcement, families and later convicts. Unorganized crime being the key word here, including drive by shootings by barely adults whos perceived room for maneuvering narrows to the extreme.

On youtube as " Inside A Crack House: US Drug Gangs Exposed (True Crime Documentary) | Real Stories " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EGK4gGtz44

Also worth mentioning

The Dawn Wall (2017) Meru (2015) The Alpinist (2021)

The mindset of the people at these extremes is really interesting. Clash of cultures with Magnus Midtbø visiting Honnold was also an interesting watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyya23MPoAI

If you truly believe to know something i dont, i would hope you had responded. This way it looks like you prefer feeling right over being right.
Thank you so much for posting this.

If anyone else has any educated guesses about the mechanism, please do share!

Might be a case of me being too stupid to use ctrl + f

But its very much worth mentioning that Russia has totalitarian laws that criminalize the use of vpns.

This isnt my native language, might i ask you for your interpretation of that post? I didnt think i was being confrontational here, so i cant figure out how to interpret your post.

Pls be direct, any little bit helps.

Re:The teen mental illness epidemic is international on Sunday January 14, 2024 @12:22PM (#38992278)
I dont think you can argue your position without reverting to a sunken cost fallacy or an ideological ignorance of the amount of suffering inflicted through simple existence, even in the best of circumstances.

If you want to argue that suicide is always an option, let me remind you that this is how the Romans justified the conditions of slavery.

I could always be wrong here, but i dont think you are able to explain how. To put it bluntly, fanatics never can. Or want to because they prefer feeling right. Pls do explain how i am wrong here.

Not sure how you got to this conclusion from the initial post.

My point was condemning somebody to existence in this world is.

There is no story or belief that can justify unethical behavior.

Which you can change. I was talking more about the overall circumstances you cant change.
Re:The teen mental illness epidemic is international on Wednesday January 10, 2024 @03:09AM (#38937557)
Depressive realism might be. And there is no ethical way for me to argue for that.

My link is also not arguing for being depressed. Once you are here, by all means make the best of it. But to give you all a flashback to sex ed, do the right thing and use a condom.

Re:The teen mental illness epidemic is international on Wednesday January 10, 2024 @01:30AM (#38936953)
The increase in depression numbers might be a rational reaction to the current environment.

UFOs are so 20th century

I was thinking more in the realm of LK-99

This does seem to be quite useful behavior as well, no?
Cockpit resource management is also something a lot of industries can learn from. As well as human error analysis. How an error came to be is often much more interesting then the personal shortcomings of the person who caused it.
To be fair, investigating incidents and crashes is how you get incident prevention. Most safeguards today are a result of the lessons learned from NTSB investigations.
