i’ve never seen any comment with more than two flags that weren’t supposed to be removed, though

from my anarchist perspective every left-🪽policy can have a right-🪽 rationale

(didn’t mean to do the wing emoji at first but my pinky slipped and they look cuute!!!)

someone hasn’t heard of breathalyzers

protestants, including evangelicals, are not catholics and do not follow the pope

According to a 2024 Gallup survey, approximately 69% of the U.S. population—about 235 million out of 340 million people—identify as Christian.[1] A plurality of Americans identify as Protestant (45%), followed by Catholics (22%). Smaller Christian groups include members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1.5%), Eastern Orthodox Christians (0.5%), and other Christian denominations (0.4%).[1]

It seems to have the added benefit of being an added barrier to market entry for their competitors.

I’m fairly sure the regulations only kick in when the service has something millions monthly active users.

that also annoyed me

(tangentially: 50.5 years ago, Oliver Sipple had saved President Ford by tackling his assassin Sara Jane Moore. He was promptly outed as gay.)

hourly CN air quality map, unit is µg/m³: https://www.air-level.com/

reuters says “The WHO considers PM2.5 concentrations above 50 micrograms per cubic metre “severe” air pollution.” but I couldn’t actually find that in WHO global air quality guidelines or anywhere else. china considers >500 µg/m³ “severe” (严重) and everything on the map would be below that

dated 25 Feb, 2025. so did they?

could you link it? the flynn effect is that average intelligence has been steadily rising ever since IQ tests were introduced faster than could be explained by genetic variation

the average intelligence used to fall?

not very uplifting innit

great thing that PM2.5’s been vanquished. don’t the visibility issues mostly come from inner-mongolian winds of the north, though?

Apparently I was wrong: Most heart attacks are caused by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease . The article says that Bernie Sanders doesn’t have heart disease nor familial history of it, though. Hope you live long!

A heart attack is not an ailment. It’s like getting bruised: certain people in certain situations are more likely to get it, but it’s not a disease or condition and just randomly happens. everybody gets heart attacks

I don’t think it was supposed to be in the press/marketed/popularly known this early—I think it’s reasonable that they need some years to get all the labor unions to agree. It’s true that marketing places hype cycles (not sure if that’s what they’re called) at most about a year before release date, but to market something you’d need more years to develop the product first. So this article is probably more of a “Director {X} picked to direct new {FRANCHISE} movie” than “{FRANCHISE} MOVIE 4 IN THEATRES 2028”

a car for long-distance travel?

trains would be more efficient but it’s much easier to start out with busses
