  • A Society Governed by Whiny Rich People Throwing Tantrums

  • 7000 years ago 95% of the male population died off. Based on our discovery of mass graves showing violent deaths from this time, the most likely explanation is that there was a globe spanning slaughter of people - prehistoric people were people too, they had the same flaws that we do now

  • The most likely explanation for why 95% of the male population died around 5000BC is because of a mass breakout of war, people forget that prehistory had the same humans that we have today

  • Anyone talking about society 20,000 years ago is bullshitting. We have no records for how these societies operated anything but a superficial level.

    This is Jordan Peterson and Evelutionary Psychology levels of scientific rigor.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell Leaves DOJ Interview With Mysterious Box

    Jump

  • People are concerned about the hesitance he's had for actually doing anything. He campaigned saying he'd release the names, then has proceeded not to do so, tried to deflect and say it's a non-issue that people should forget about, that there were no other people involved beyond Maxwell and Epstein. For someone that claims to have nothing to hide, and was previously friends with Epstein (in itself not incriminating of course) he's doing a piss poor job of convincing people he wasn't involved in things with Epstein.

    This shouldn't be a partisan issue, everyone who was involved should be prosecuted, the fact no progress has been made since 2019 is on both the Democrats and Republicans heads - any idiot can see there is a cover up going on, and the only reasonable explanation seems to be that both sides will be damaged in equal measure by the fallout - for all Trump's protestations of being outside the establishment, he sure does look and sound like an establishment guy

  • You can pay for a 3rd party to penetration test your app, it's good practice to do this before you launch an app, after any significant changes, and annually at a minimum.

    There are also a growing number of companies offering continuous penetration testing - basically, automated pen tests - but these are expensive and it's difficult to convince companies that the cost is worth it

  • Would you trust it at this point though? The most likely explanation in my mind is that both Dems and Republicans are on the list, including DT. Dems didn't release it prior to the election because it'd blow back on them as well, and Trump thought he could get away with running on releasing it and then never actually doing it - which has now backfired. This whole thing stinks

  • If You Needed to Pass an Exam to Vote

  • This test is clearly intended to be deceptive. For example, with Q1 should I circle the number '1' or 'a'? With Q4 how do you draw a line around something? 11 is clearly a trick question designed to put pressure on people.

    I'm autistic and whilst I could confidently argue an answer for these questions, I'm pretty sure someone would disagree with the reasoning I use, and a single failure means I fail the test

  • It absolutely is, it's naive to think these puritans will just decide to stop here

  • Ellen DeGeneres says she moved to Britain because of Trump

    Jump

  • Oh 100%, I'm a republican (lowercase R, in the British sense). I just find it ironic that the US portrays itself as having removed monarchy, when it was just replaced with dictator that has a term limit

  • Cuomo says key factor in his primary loss was Mamdani’s support from young, Jewish and pro-Palestinian voters

    Jump

  • You're conflating colourism with racism, I'm guessing you're in the US and your primary exposure to racism is via colourism?

  • Cuomo says key factor in his primary loss was Mamdani’s support from young, Jewish and pro-Palestinian voters

    Jump

  • This is patently false and just a rehash of the same old attitude we've seen so frequently before.

    If you're going to be a bigot at least try and be original

  • Ironically, our king has incredibly limited power that is enforced by a strong belief that religion should be separate from politics and an independent judiciary. Your king doesn't seem to have the same hurdles

  • Russian lawmakers say 'security threat' WhatsApp should prepare to leave Russia

    Jump

  • Whilst WhatsApp is still owned by meta and I'm sure the US military would have a lot use for the metadata they collect, let's be honest, I'm sure Putin would prefer if Russians switched to a platform they can spy on themselves

  • A shadow contract is one of few mechanisms to enter large-scale consensus (it isn't THAT large when compared to a solar or galactic scale, but large enough for planetary control, and with some clever management, can scale larger).

    You don't know that, I've seen shadow contracts that apply to intergalactic scales. I would wager they can be used for interdimensional organisations

  • 'It's a cover up': Musk floods X with posts attacking Trump over Epstein

  • That makes no sense to me, it just reinforces the fact that the US president is essentially just an king that gets elected and has a term limit

  • It's absolutely wild that the US president is able to pardon convicts. Like you have a supposedly independent legislature and judiciary, and the the president can just go "nuh-uh" to anything he doesn't like

  • Voting age to be lowered to 16 in UK by next general election

  • Yes it is, it's essentially giving people with children extra votes to use.

  • Voting age to be lowered to 16 in UK by next general election

    Jump

  • Sure, but I want mature enough at 18 either. A lot of people aren't mature enough at 40 to fully comprehend what they're voting for. We don't enfranchise people with votes based on their level of knowledge though, we do it if they're considered active members of society - and 16 year olds are considered adults in a large amount of their day-to-day life
