How did he get approval to do experimental surgery on primates for this?

Man people are judgy as hell. I like to think that I'd notice and stop too, but at 11pm, tired in the middle of nowhere with no street lights? How many of us know 100% that we would have stopped in time? It's understandable how this happened.

After an entire decade of directing people to drive off a goddamn bridge, Google should apologize to the family and settle. It's shameful. Get a better update team if you're going to provide a mapping service.

I hate that he's trying to pass it off as some heroic Robin Hood gesture. If anyone actually follows his advice they're likely to get arrested.

Haaning told Danish radio:

The work is that I have taken their money. It’s not theft. It is breach of contract, and breach of contract is part of the work. I encourage other people who have working conditions as miserable as mine to do the same. If they’re sitting in some shitty job and not getting paid, and are actually being asked to pay money to go to work, then grab what you can and beat it.

Subs are fluctuating, but you're exaggerating to describe it as "bleeding". They're at 164 million and were even outperforming Netflix at the end of 2022.

As CEO, Iger is awarded approximately $27 million in annual target compensation.

Now that's a crazy demand! Did you know he replaced their last CEO who left in 2022 with an exit package worth $23.4 million? Even when they're gone, Disney's CEOs are raking in Disney cash. Maybe if Iger made 1 million max in annual target compensation, his writers could afford a roof over their heads?

I specifically stated that I'm not casting judgement on him.

a good and charitable man

Was he though? I don't know anything about him, nor do I have strong feelings about his letter because I know there's a chance he was threatened by the most dangerous and litigious cult on the planet to write it.

I'm sure if he's truly good and charitable as you say, that he will be free to continue those habits without bringing unnecessary controversy to an anti-sex abuse organization of all things. His letter directly opposes what such an organization stands for.

The cop on the left, I know right?

For a minute I thought this was the sad update to their potential evidence of life on K2-18b.

Just to add to your point: in PTSD your brain will prioritize certain synapses over others that may help you survive through the trauma, but will result in a continued focus on the trauma after the event has passed. So those ~500 synapses in depressive PTSD aren't just lower than a healthy brain, but they're also the wrong synapses for your current situation. Psychedelics can help you develop new synapses that are more relevant to your current life. As someone who experienced this therapy, it's amazing how quickly it can happen, too. It's a total game changer and should be available to anyone who wants to try it.

You'd "flip the fuck out" if you were born in a bag in a laboratory, but wouldn't flip the fuck out if you were born out of your mom's genetically modified bag? Why force lifelong gene alteration on 50% of the population because you don't feel good about where you might have spent 9 months you'd never remember?

Pretty sure you could substitute "autism" with any topic at all and the point would be accurate.

 

Did you just take the pizza and shut the door? Did you still tip the driver? I'd love to hear your stories of how you handled the situation.
