I was under the impression that everyone was aware of how deeply corrupt FIFA is. Didn't they green-light a World Cup in Russia while it was invading Ukraine?

It's a fancy cloze generator. It has no understanding of which constituent parts of a sentence are related to the subject and does not generate alternative answers that are reliably wrong.
Making agriculture unproductive will just push the demand outwards like a beaker of toxic reactants boiling over. We can't impose more trade restrictions on foreign agricultural goods either, for fear of a trade war.
This hopeless romanticism of small organic mom-and-pop farming is misguided. The only solution I see is huge, highly efficient, automated, but also highly regulated farms. That, and veganism.
I have this vivid memory of walking through a market in a Peruvian town. All off those sounds, smells and impressions would probably disappear I thought, to be sterilized and concentrated into a supermarket, and most of the labor lost. There were skillfully painted murals on the walls. "Vota por John Doe para Alcalde". Labor being cheap, it might make sense to enlist a veritable army of specialized painters for each and every election cycle, but they should just have posters printed for much less effort, I thought.
This is when the realization hit me. I knew now what capitalism meant and I felt so wrong for romanticizing life in less developed countries. If we want an increase in wealth, we need an increase in productivity. If we want an increase in productivity, we need continuous job displacement, for ever.
Were a culture war influencer to decide that speed limits were anti-freedom, that would not make speed limits themselves ineffective.
Compliance would surely suffer in one certain country, meaning the imposition of speed limits would lose effectiveness. That could warrant exploration of alternative implementation, policing and especially communication, I grant you that, but there simply is no alternative measure.
I get the appeal of holistic analysis, but you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. What else can you do?
It's not that hard to drive safely. It's not that hard to wear a mask. I know it's not convenient, but statistically speaking you're unnecessarily killing people.
Is a terrible translation of
"Vnd der dracole vnd sein brueder haben abgetreten von yrem glauben vnd haben verhaissen vnd geschworen den cristlichen gelauben zu beschirmen."
"Beschirmen" meant the same thing in early new high german as it does today: to protect.

Rather than to "darken" the Christan faith, they are said to have sworn to protect it.
"F150 V8": an expensive truck with a V8 motor.
"F150 V6" a cheaper V6 sedan.
Clearly, these are two different products, even though they can do the same thing. You're sneakily using a known naming convention in your official product name to deceive customers on the price perception of the 4080 and the performance of the 4080 12GB.
It seems to be preceded by other jocular glyphs among scribes. A regular o received a central dot when writing the word "eye": ꙩ
Words containing "two" or "both" had an o replaced by two conjoined os: ꚙ
It is only natural to carry on the in-joke for the dual and plural "eyes" like this: ꙭ
Our scribe simply got a little excited, following the pattern to it's logical end point in the term "many-eyed"
Liberal international relations work on the same game theoretical principles as any group interaction with a prisoner's dilemma-type payoff matrix. The optimal strategy for any individual is to betray, to not do work on the group project and still receive good grades, to fake your credentials on your CV and still get the job, to subsidize the murder of Ukrainians and still receive economic benefits and international sympathy.
Of course, if everyone refuses to work on the group project, you receive a failing grade. If everyone fakes their credentials, the company fails due to lack of expertise, if every country prioritizes their own interests over avoiding conflict, the world goes back to the pre-WWII era of rampant warfare, colonialism and exploitation. The optimal strategy for groups is to zealously persecute defectors.
This is the reason why this decision is much more relevant to India's future than you think. It's the reason why the West seems like a vindictive in-group that doesn't tolerate dissent. It's the same old mechanism that instructed the first multicellular organism to destroy cancerous cells. The mechanism that makes guppies instinctively reject their own conspecifics if they don't participate in the dangerous inspection of predators. The mechanism that drives our conceptions of justice, vengeance and shame.
The only reason he is famous, is that "Hustlers University" instructs you to spam clips of his to social media together with affiliate links to his scheme. Compound that with his Alex Jones-like talent to generate the most divisive, ridiculous, humorous and infuriating soundbites and you have a TikTok smash hit. But just like Alex, once he glows out, his shady dealings and ridiculous statements will relegate him to a subject of mockery and an argument to dismiss his ideas for the opposing side.
Germans might not have enough gas to heat their homes which would cause the government to fall and you see this as some sort of genius chess move.
One of the benefits of being balanced is that it's self-rounding: Just turn any amount of final digits into 0s and you're done. What if you want to express the exact half, decimal 0.5? Well you'll end up with either 1.TTTTT... or 0.11111... so it could round either way. If we were to use this system, shops could no longer manipulate us with prices ending in .99.
Give it a minute to fully grasp the concept and you'll see how intuitive it is.
Surely this has organically risen to the front page, unaffected by it's ycombinator backing!
Okay, so I'm aware of the conundrums surrounding mounting the ntfs volume of a hibernated windows installation detailed on the wiki page. However, the same section clearly states that booting another OS even while a Linux system is hibernating can result in a broken EFI System Partition.
This clearly does not relate to NTFS. I'm not knowlegdeable enough to understand the means by which this occurs, but I felt like I needed to give the person a heads-up before they brick their install.
Props to the writer and illustrator for making a beautiful, cute, engaging and especially compelling medium that even an ADHD sufferer can make it through in one go.
