Yep. So much of this shit from "environmental activists" that have no fucking clue how any of this works. It's been shown time and time again that nuclear is the answer for base load energy requirements with minimal environmental impact.

The world is political.

Proper homemade ranch, not that nasty Hidden Valley shit. It's pretty great.

Definitely heard it called that at least as far back as the 90s. I assume it predates that, though.

English may not be their first language (since the question mark thing is common in French, for example), though of course if that were true, their comment looks even worse.

I'm fairly certain there is a real version of this out there though, because I remember seeing it many years ago before all of the AI bullshit.

My sense is that this is a real photo that has been reproduced by AI.

I agree with this. Been considering switching to the instance, but don't really like all of the AI stuff. I don't really care about copyright, more about the effect on humanity in a much broader sense and the environment.

Just because you like to put "CEO" on your LinkedIn doesn't actually make you one being talked about. It's talking about CEOs of large companies who are responsible for destroying countless lives.

When you start wielding wealth and resources as a weapon against humanity, then you are the problem. In a just society, these people would simply not exist, or at least, we'd have the means to quickly remove them from power if they somehow found a means to abuse society. However, we do not live in a just society, or one where justice is actually a guiding principle. We live in a capitalist society that enforces its will through violence, and only truly responds to violence. There is a very, very good reason that Luigi struck such a chord with so many people.

.... Do you actually believe this nonsense?

I mean, not really. This is weird shit to put in a legal document and is pretty pointless. It's also just hard to read due to contrast issues (which can be particularly relevant depending on any disabilities of interested parties, etc.). Like I'm pretty sure there is text on there that does not meet WCAG guidelines.

It's definitely not appropriate for a court document. I'd go farther and say putting anything to dramatically draw attention to oneself in a court document is inappropriate. That's simply not what court documents are for. They should strive to be as mundane, uninteresting, an impartial as possible.

Generally yes, that's the way to do it, but there are plenty of times where you need to recreate the time zone something was created for, which means additionally storing the time zone information.

What movie is this even referencing? Almost every depiction of spiderman has him as a man of and for the people. Admittedly I haven't watched more recent marvel movies. Has that changed, somehow?
