“Free speech” has always been a right-wing dog whistle. It has nothing to do with anyone’s legal right, it’s a means to claim victimhood and justify attacking others as “defense”.

So soll […] das Ablehnen einer zumutbaren Arbeit mit erhöhten Leistungskürzungen geahndet werden
Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hatte entschieden, dass Sanktionen verfassungswidrig sind, wenn die Bezüge unter das Existenzminimum fallen. Aber wie üblich scheint unseren Regierenden aller Parteien egal zu sein, was in Deutschland Recht ist, wenn es die Möglichkeit gibt Menschen zu schaden, die sich nicht wehren können.
Also interesting in that regard Androgen insensitivity syndrome: Despite different root causes, it is something of the opposite of Chapelle syndrome. People who possess XY chromosomes, but possess female genitalia.
It still bothers me that the cube inside the cube is bigger than the outer line, despite forming the outer line during the intro animation. It will never stop bothering me.
For anyone who wants to have a look at a full issue of that magazine: A few of them can be found online.
My ‘I’m No Fucking Predator Or Pedophile’ T-shirt is raising question already answered by my ‘I’m No Fucking Predator Or Pedophile’ T-shirt.
“My child…”
AI execs: Our AIs are going to be so powerful. More powerful than anything. Soon they could be able to destroy humanity!
Governments: Well, then we better regulate that shit and make sure that doesn’t happen…
AI execs: Nooooo! We did not mean it that way!
There is a legitimate reason why we may see “something” in the future.
Ubisoft accepted subsidies from the French government for the production of BGE2, which puts BGE2 in a similar place like “Skull and Bones”: “Skull and Bones” was partially financed by subsidies from the Singaporean government. So BGE2 is trapped in the same weird limbo “Skull and Bones” was trapped in for years. Ubisoft has to figure out whether they actually want to finish the game or write a big, fat check to the French government.
We all know how that turned out for “Skull and Bones”, so I am not going to get my hopes up.
No, you see it’s not like education makes you see past your own prejudices and that makes you more liberal. If you are liberal you get awarded an education by the shadowy cabal that controls the education system with DEI measures! This guy only wants a tRuE mERiToCrACy where disenfranchised, downtrodden bigots get a chance to attend university where they are taught about the superiority of their white Aryan race.
/s if it isn’t apparent.
The benefit of use high-end cameras (like those from Arri) is that they usually have a higher range for ISO (light sensitivity) and aperture, which makes it easier to shoot without setting up lighting for every specific shot. Most people know this from smartphone cameras: Cheap ones struggle in low-light settings while better ones will still be able to produce decent pictures.
George Lucas introduced evil guys wearing SS uniforms who conduct genocide before the viewers’ eyes and somehow people still pretend that Star Wars is apolitical.
I have a theory what happened: The original newspaper where the story came from (Luzerner Zeitung) is a small local one. It seems like they misunderstood the spokespersons of the company they interviewed, Fortinet. Fortinet has had several postings about hypothetical DDoS attacks using IoT devices, often using toothbrushes as their examples.
So it seems like the reporters did not realize that Fortinet spoke about hypothetical scenarios, rather than something that actually happened.
Nippon TV has been funding studio Ghibli films since the 90s and also owns (for example) Madhouse. While I am also sceptical of where this leads, I think it’s one of the better options for Ghibli overall. At least Nippon TV has shown in the past that they understand what Ghibli is doing and isn’t just picking them up because they have the money to do so.
It is not the strikes that cost the US economy money, it is the greed of absurdly overpaid executives who want to wring every cent of profits out of workers.
Additionally to what has already been mentioned: People are susceptible to politics that confirm their prejudices. Right-wing political thought is largely based on confirming that whatever prejudices people hold, they are morally good and justified. Thus elevating an in-group above out-groups. That is a powerful lure.
