What an absolutely awful take.
I'd also recommend The Dreamt Land: Chasing Water and Dust Across California by Mark Arax.
Re:Elon Musk tells Twitter staff to work long hours or leave on Wednesday November 16, 2022 @05:04PM (#33631440)
A couple theories:

* You're a Musk fan boy and want to be noticed by him

* Lots of people leaving creates a power vacuum and (in theory) a chance to get that next promotion with less competition

* You're close to retirement/ you find the process of assimilating into a new company to be more exhausting than just sticking it out where you're at.

Do your research, but I'm fairly confident that buying/ shipping mushroom spores is a legal gray area and not technically illegal in most places. It's only once you've propagated the spores that it becomes illegal. So if you're comfortable with growing a few in a plastic container under your bed and then destroying the evidence (by ingesting it hehe), this might be the best path for you. Much less risky than asking randos at parties or something.

I would put my money on big liberal PACs and PR firms deleting botnets and cutting ties with botfarms that exist solely to boost engagement on their candidates posts.
It must be buried in the Fire Stick UI because I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'll have to check again.
I'm about to cancel for two reasons.

1. The auto-play preview feature is incredibly annoying and there is no way to disable it. If I want to watch a preview, I'll click the damn button. Let me read a description in peace.

2. The overt propaganda makes watching any new content all but impossible for me. It seems that this is not unique to Netflix, but they are the worst in my opinion.

Most anthiests seem to be nihilists, so they're already (claiming to be) doing that.

I just always find it strange the way that "100% athiests" seem to ignore the logical conundrum of "I don't need a God or theology to live a good life" when our constructed definition of "good" comes from religion.

Why even bother forgiving yourself if morality is just a human construct and there is no judgment in the afterlife?

Can anyone tell me what sort of environmental impact studies are done before a project like this breaks ground and where (if) I can read them?

Many would argue that resisting tyrannical mandates is a compassionate and sacrificial act that is in the interest of their neighbors.

The evolution of the "glasshole."

Wouldn't catch me dead in a pair of these.

That's not a world I want to live in. Not even a little bit.
