Oh yeah, in the US they’re still using paper signatures and click-clack machines from 1982.

Right now the policies most of the NATO-aligned powers have towards boats full of people fleeing war zones to claim asylum is to ram the boats and shove the survivors in prison camps.

Is this whole controversy just weird capital-G Gamers logging into their Steam/Reddit/X/etc accounts to complain about logging in to a PlayStation account? I don’t get what the big deal is.

Yeah, boomers in 1988 would have been about the same age as millennials are now, and this kind of nonsense was not still being regularly written about them back then. Nor was it for gen Xers in 2007 when they were the same age.

Word’s metric conversion does kinda suck though. It should probably say “about 5 tonnes”.

Why explain it through perfectly straightforward concepts like patriarchy or fragile masculinity when you can explain it through imaginary prehistoric sex rituals?

Cooking on hot rocks (usually placed in a hole in the ground and sometimes also buried over) is a traditional thing across Polynesia, which is where The Rock is from. I don’t think the writers or show runners at the WWE are clever enough to come up with that themselves, but maybe it’s something he suggested to them?

Copyright infringement is absolutely the moral thing to do in quite a lot of cases. For example, for the preservation of cultural works. Corporations aren't exactly spending their money on proper archives and the people to curate them. Quite the opposite! For example, if some or all of the lawsuits against sites like archive.org are successful then the result could be a mass erasure of cultural works on the scale of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.
