impacts small indie artists

How?

I read the article but I don’t understand how bots making and listening to songs to generate royalties for the bot owners affects anyone but the royalty-payers?

Are you sure that’s still the case? I know china stopped accepting it ages ago - that’s why most recycling just goes to domestic landfill now.

Threaded messages seems fine to me, as you said that usage is more well understood than threadiverse which risks conceptually-centering a billionaire controlled platform.

The existence of threads makes threadiverse an inappropriate name for fediverse content aggregators, is the point I was being overly sarcastic about.

Defederating from threads seems like the best way to make it nice. That way there’s less influence from psychopathic billionaires who happily stoke genocide for clicks.

More like hurricane Charlie.

those of us who are not sub-Saharn African

Do you have a source I could scope on that?

I know there’s genetic backflow from neanderthals to many african populations. I found a snippet from a paid article that seemed to be saying that (some?) neanderthal-related ancestry found in sub-saharan populations is early sapiens genes that went into neanderthals, but I couldn’t find a solid yes/no on neanderthal alleles in sub-saharan pops. I’d guess there’d be at least a little gene flow from nearby populations that do have small neanderthal ancestry, but that’s just my uneducated guess.

Denisovans too for some of us.

And I think at least 1 ghost population of different humans that we’ve not found remains of!

This is a story of one bootlicking employee who was in desperate need of fucking off and minding his own business:

However, just as the movie started, an employee told them to put their snack bags away, the report said. They agreed but the employee apparently insisted on sitting next to them to monitor the snack situation.

A few minutes later, one of the children popped a Skittle he was already holding into his mouth, and quite frankly, all hell broke loose, the women said. The employee started shouting at them, and said that the police would be called unless they left. This is when the children started crying.

“My niece asked nicely: ‘If you’re calling the police, are they going to kill my mum?’” one of the women told the newspaper. “And he laughed at that stage. He looks directly in her face and he said: ‘Yeah, maybe we’ll find out.’

This is just the rich looting hospitals to enrich themselves.

In the UK the rich looted hospitals to such measurably bad health outcomes that the average height dropped by 1cm (1/2 inch) during the tories’ 14 year tenure.

I think the allusion is probably to clouds, given that project nimbus is amazon and google cloud updating the israeli government’s cloud computing and nimbus is latin for cloud. The israeli government is generally not as big on christian metaphors as the US government is.

Your post history makes it pretty clear that you suffer from depression - the unrealistically black and white thinking, the lack of anything but negativity - so I’m sorry about that. If you can, I’d recommend trying psilocybin. It’s helped several people I know with bad depression.

In the meantime I’m going to block you, since 95%+ of your posts are straight trolling.

This is part of Leonard Leo’s plan to re-mccarthy-ize US society and purge anyone left of fascist, same way he orchestrated the right wing take over of our courts.

the world is lead by assholes, on all sides.

This is an objectively true statement. Of course the world is lead by assholes.

We all know that power corrupts. Neuroscience has shown that getting power damages the brain’s capacity for empathy.

You just can’t lead a nation without becoming capable of great evil.
