The number of new submitters has indeed increased significantly since the beginning of 2026.

Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_values
Since the wikipedia page also mentions individual liberty and rule of law, let me also link to this topic:

Western values include, among other things, a commitment to equality and human rights, not apartheid[1] and genocide[2].
It makes the case that perfecting language prediction might be the path to AGI — because to predict language well, you have to understand the world it describes.
We’ve engineered movement out of our lives. We sit in chairs, stare at screens, and outsource physical effort to machines. Then we try to cram all our movement into 45-minute bursts a few times a week.
This is like eating only once a week and calling it a balanced diet. Most people are malnourished, not from lack of food, but from a lack of diverse, nutrient-dense movement.
A good summary: https://bannister.coach/mitochondria-and-exercise-how-differ...
Quoting the conclusion:
> In this systematic review and meta-regression covering ~ 50 years of research data, we demonstrate that the magnitude of change in mitochondrial content, capillarization, and VO2 max to exercise training is largely determined by the initial fitness level. The ability to adapt to exercise training is maintained throughout life irrespective of sex and presence of disease. Larger training volumes (higher training frequency per week and larger number of training weeks) and higher training intensities (per hour of training, SIT > HIT > ET) are associated with greater increases in mitochondrial content and VO2 max. Therefore, training load (volume x intensity) is a robust predictor of changes in mitochondrial content and VO2 max. Increases in capillarization occur primarily in the early stages of exercise training (< 4 weeks) with ET, HIT, and SIT equally enhancing capillaries per fiber, while ET is more effective in increasing capillary density (capillaries per mm²) due to less pronounced muscle fiber hypertrophy.

Here is Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch (https://x.com/HillelNeuer/status/1711844160804638980): “I just got off the phone with a third call with Prime Minister Netanyahu”
> Agence France-Presse has described UN Watch as "a lobby group with strong ties to Israel" ... Primarily, UN Watch denounces what it views as anti-Israel sentiment at the UN and UN-sponsored events.
This comment, at the end of the thread, is particularly interesting:
My Pixel 6 was confiscated by the German police after a political rally. I was recently able to pick it up again. From an inquiry with my lawyer, the following emerged: The authorities tried to read the device with both UFED4PC and Cellebrite Premium Touch. In addition, software from other forensic providers was used without success. The software did not succeed in breaking the system. The device was in BFU mode and had a 30-digit PIN. USB port was deactivated. As of March 2025, I can therefore say that it is not possible for Cellebrite to break a secured GrapheneOS.
Also, it's nice to see this mentioned:
> For this 10k-word write-up, I spent around a month finishing up the main parts, and refining/editing it took an extra while. Writing this is indeed a painful process. I spent the entire day on the weekend and 4-5 hours during the rest of the week working on it for around two weeks.
It's the kind of behind-the-scenes effort that often goes unspoken.
Reminds of the saying:

We're safe.”
