  • Gross. Absolutely gross. Powerful old people are already living too long.

  • Is even this politicized?

    It always was... this was never about children or life. It has ever and always been about control. The death of these women is, at best, incidental, and at worst, intentional.

  • People are "at risk"... of what? What a terrible article to not even clarify what the risk is. Because it sounds to me like the government is who put those people at risk by making them go look for solutions to a draconian policy.

  • If I'm opening a stock market account, I'm trusting them with generating my tax receipts! If I don't feel comfortable trusting them to hold my personal data directly, I probably should choose a different brokerage...

    Edit: Anyways, I'm annoyed enough that everyone has gone to phone based 2 factor that requires me to buy a phone and keep it on a cell network, so you can imagine how much I despise even an easier version of this.

  • Canada currently has a bill looking to do the same thing. AFAIK, Australia's already passed one, many US states are looking at them individually. The EU is looking at frameworks for it. I suppose there will be some places that won't, but this is increasingly looking like what governments have decided to do, and rather than geofencing, once a large number of money-making territories want this, I think most corporations will do it globally, and smaller sites simply won't be able to run.

  • The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived

  • Sucks, because it's going global and we can't seem to stop it. I'm fine with laws to age gate in terms of a button you click. If some kid is willing to say they're 15... well, let's make sure people are treating them as a 15 year old. But... making everyone deal with real verification is at best going to further entrench big business, and at worst, destroy the internet we love. And it raises the question: are trans teenagers talking to each other now creating adult content because the UK hates trans people?

  • Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community

    Jump

  • Ah, then maybe you would enjoy talking to the 50 year old office mom!

    Assuming those are still a thing, of course. They were a thing when my office's age averaged ~ 25, but I seem to remember losing the office mom position when the overall office age got higher... but maybe the position went away more generally...

  • It'd be married and single women, most likely. (Edit: they prefer to classify us by our relationships with men.)

  • You mean, you, a presumably young man, don't come to the office to chat with your 50 year old office mom, or your CEOs and managers, or your coworkers whose interests only overlap yours so far as employment opportunities? How bizarre!

  • Minnesota politician shot and killed, another injured in "targeted political violence"

  • Apparently, they're still screaming about how liberals are using violence. Nucking futz.

  • It's a very polite post on the surface, but do note that they refer to trans women as "it". I think they're being very polite because they know that saying "I think trans women are just deluded men and I don't want to respect those things" doesn't go as well.

  • Wikipedia page "List of protests and demonstrations in the United States by size" says the Hands off protests were the third largest protest in US history

    Jump

  • Did you mean to reply to me on that? I was only talking about how crazy the earth day one was, not trying to make a direct comparison. The earth day one was absolutely massive, yet I don't think the climate is in a good place now.

    Regardless, I do hope Americans throw off fascism.

  • Earth Day, 1970. 200 million people in the USA then, so 10% of the country. And look where the earth is now...

  • Penn. woman who accused stranger of rape and kidnapping sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison: ‘She targeted an innocent man’

    Jump

  • The motivation is what I really want to know. Given that it was just some random person, I can only hope she figured they'd never find him? So many crimes go unsolved, it's surprising they found this random man with a truck— unless she actually remembered his license plate or something, but that would indicate it was a lot less random. Maybe this wasn't as random as she's saying, maybe she got in a road rage incident with him...

    I guess it's because I'm not the kind of person who'd do this, but I just don't understand why someone would. If you want the social media "clout," presumably for a gofundme or something, you don't need to go to the police about it. Even if you thought you had to, a super vague report would probably lead to a cold case that would waste everyone's time, but at least no one would go to jail. If you were truly mentally ill and delusional, you probably wouldn't admit even to yourself that it didn't happen.
