Because none of the crew can step foot on American soil. It’s a Singaporean vessel with an Indian and Sri Lankan crew. They don’t have visas and so they’re denied entry.
The bureaucracy of DHS knows no limits and has no compassion.
At some point in an ecclesiastical hierarchy someone is manipulating people for their own benefit, knowing they’re doing so. They profess miracles while knowing there are none.
Above a certain level all you’ll find are charlatans.
The only religions that do not operate like this are unaffiliated churches, mystical, or nontheistic religions like Buddhism, Jainism etc.
If you profess a god and have a hierarchical structure your leaders manipulate you for their own gain or prestige. They do not believe.
What I’m saying is there’s a chance a churchgoer or a pastor is doing it for selfless reasons, where that is never the case for sports.
I never said otherwise.
But the whole point here is we’re talking not about selfishness we’re talking about manipulation.
Manipulation of others to do ones bidding is not the purpose of sports. Panem et circenses sure but not “do my bidding proles”
And I’m extremely aware of how people act and grow up in religions: I grew up in a very hierarchical religious structure and have seen the well intentioned abuses that people earnestly trying to help inflict on others. Manipulation is manipulation, ill intentioned or otherwise. And when you get higher up in a hierarchical structure that professes faith you will reach a point where everyone knows it’s fake and chooses to act otherwise.
Got to agree with the conclusion of the review, while this seems like a decent offering (and I personally like the “retro” look), for Є400, you might as well get a A55 with a much better screen and probably longer security support (Android OS updates aren’t that important these days).
Amigo - the corpos already know. They also know that anyone who hates ads enough to install and maintain ad blockers is also not going to click on ads. They’re wasted impressions. The amount an advertiser pays to put an ad in front of you is a rounding error compared to the amount they pay when you click.
When I worked at G I had a Linux laptop. It came pre-installed with Firefox and uBlock origin in addition to Chrome.
If Google is distributing Firefox with uBlock internally to employees they know about ad blockers.
It’s similar to how scam emails always have egregious spelling errors: they’re trying to select out the people that won’t fall for the scam.
There are plenty of good arguments against SMRs: none of them include terrorism.
The theory was always that you could get economies of scale if you were building the same reactor every time in a factory and transporting it to install somewhere else. In practice those economies never materialized (did they even exist?)
Meanwhile solar, wind, and batteries have plummeted in cost. There is no need for base load power generation if we have sufficient battery storage and an oversupply of generators - which is entirely feasible for wind and solar.
I have many conversations with people about Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Copilot. The idea that “it makes convincing sentences, but it doesn’t know what it’s talking about” is a difficult concept to convey or wrap your head around. Because the sentences are so convincing....
I’m not positive I’m understanding your term naturalistic but no neuroscientist would say “we are just neurons”. Similarly no neuroscientist would deny that neurons are a fundamental part of consciousness and thought.
You have plenty of complex chemical processes interacting with your brain constantly - the neurons there aren’t all of who you are.
But without the neurons there: you aren’t anyone anymore. You cease to live. Destroying some of those neurons will change you fundamentally.

bruh. 🤦♂️ “solar🌞punk” ☀️ is the most unrealistic and 🙄 blank ◻️ genre. its almost like an AI generated 🤖. no realism at all, a lack of style 💃💃. im not even diving into the fact that its most-used visual representation is freaking YOGURT AD🍦🍦🍦. i think that solar🌞punk 🌱 even less realistic than steam💨punk. like imagine 🧠 just adding several solar panels ☀️ and maybe a wind turbine 🌬️ to a factory or any building 🏬 that consumes electricity⚡⚡. the authors🤓 of this “punk” just don’t know how the real world 🌎 works (what are you going to do when there’s night 🌚 and no wind💨💨💨💨🤣🤣🙂↔️?)"

You can both engage in immediate harm reduction while also working towards solutions to poverty and deprivation.
Providing for people’s needs will be the most effective way to reduce the violent crime rate… But it won’t go away entirely. Ever. Some people have their heads screwed on backwards. Some people have fringe religious ideologies that encourage violence. Some people are raging alcoholics even with money and security - they’ll commit domestic violence no matter how wealthy they are.
Approximately the same number of people die from gun homicides as homelessness in the USA.
I don’t want to solve either/or - I want to solve both.
And while deprivation is a common root they have other uncommon causes that need addressing. The gun craze of America needs to be clamped down on and regulated.
We have the ability to do both. Why would you argue against one?
