These days, just a retired guy who likes to hike.
Avoiding dupes is, I think, an important one. We’ve had multiple instances on Beehaw of the same story showing up more than once. If you try to post a duplicate link, Lemmy will let you know (by showing the previous copies to you as crossposts). It’s harder to make sure you’re not posting the second or third story from a different source on the same topic. Perhaps we can just encourage people to search before posting.
I’d like the rules to at least ask people to add an image description in their original post. https://beehaw.org/post/686974 would be good to link to here.
And given the nature of many posts in the news, I think it would be good for this community to remind people to be(e) nice in their discussions.
Clearly someone needs to figure out how to get an old Furby to interact with a new Furby.
(Of course, someone has already done ChatGPT + Furby)
You appear to be unable or unwilling to distinguish between “preventing births” and “voluntarily choosing not to have children.”
Not sure why you’re quite so interested in escalating the rhetoric here (forced sterilization? in a thread that started with individual action to save honeybees? really?) but in view of the first rule of Beehaw (“Be(e) nice”) I’m not interested in joining you.
Telling one person that they can help out by not having kids is rather different from, as the dictionary says
the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group
Even suggesting to a whole group of people not to have kids is not the same as killing them.
So no, it’s not a logical conclusion. It’s illogical rhetoric. But you do you, I guess.
I’m pretty sure that discovering a new isotope while working on your MS guarantees that you’ll get the degree.
I’ve seen this “sub affects logitech stock” story a few times now, and I don’t find it very credible. If you look at the 1-month or longer price of the stock, it’s pretty evident that (a) a 5% intraday variation in price is totally normal and (b) the recent news that has actually hurt the stock price substantially is that their CEO resigned.
I’m skeptical that Amazon review trolls are buying enough stock to move the market.
Horrifying. And a splinter of the movement apparently led by men. It’s easy to promote consequences that you’re protected from by your lack of a uterus.
Assuming innovation, it seems like there would still be a need for some way for producers to inform potential consumers. I’d love to see advertising move from “create demand” to “provide information”. Not at all sure how that might come about though.
Meanwhile, I personally get by just fine with blocking as many ads as possible, which is almost all of them, and going out and searching when I need information. But that probably doesn’t scale to busier people.
And then get hired at 10x her Senate salary by one of the corporations she represented.
Yes, that sentence is in the original article. Did you have something you wanted to discuss? There are three studies in all in the article, so I don’t find cherry-picking a single sentence contributes much here.
I think one of the major benefits is that courts do take notice of science, even in this country. The more we get studies on the record, the harder it will be for transphobic laws to stand judicial challenges.
A few more details in the Oregonian make it even more clear that this is not an anti-drug ordinance. The tipoff is that they’re adding it to an existing public alcohol consumption ordinance, so selective enforcement is clearly the name of the game.
Also it appears that the county sheriff and the DA are not necessarily on board with this approach.

I’m saddened by this, but not surprised. The rationalist in me wants to think that at some point the red state attacks on science will have consequences in worse quality of life for their residents, but I’m not optimistic enough to believe that will happen before the whole culture collapses.
Not too surprising. This is the same city that recently made it illegal to camp between 8AM and 8PM, effectively outlawing being homeless with possessions (and probably violating federal court rulings).
If you’d like to avoid YouTube (which decided this would be a good occasion to try to show me an ad for Ron DeSantis), or just prefer text, CNN has the same story.
And yet politicians are still talking about fixing Social Security. Good luck with that.
This sort of nonsense is the best reason to vote for the Democrat presidential & senatorial candidates, no matter how odious they are. Someone is going to nominate and confirm 3 or 4 Supreme Court justices in the next decade, and if we let that be the Republicans, we can look forward to a whole court full of Alitos.
Ah, Indiana. As if I didn’t already have enough reasons to leave this state.
Speaking just for myself, I’ll be giving cultivated meat a pass. Not because I’m a vegan, but because I avoid ultraprocessed foods and venture capitalism as much as possible.
Sure, no argument there. There’s a choice to be made between “post the second story as a comment to the first one” and “post the second story a a separate topic”. I’m in favor of the first approach to keep discussion in one spot, but it’s not something I feel super-strongly about.
