"No one wants to cook our poisonous food while being paid the absolute minimum we can pay them to do it"

You don't say !?

No one wants to be a fast food worker, not because it's a bad job per se, but because everyone knows it's bullshit that doesn't help anyone, and their managers are squeezing them to get the very last penny out of them.

You do almost exactly the same thing in a charity soup kitchen, except everyone there loves doing it so much they do it for free because it gives meaning to their lives, and the people managing the operation are nice.

It's all about context, it's all about the ambiance and the social aspects.

Truly, the most noble in name are not the most noble of heart.

No more borders ! No more nation states !

The only actually worthwhile studio they owned...

If this happens, I guess it's Linux Phone time for me... I'm pretty certain GrapheneOS will be able to get around this abuse of power for a while, but it wouldn't take much effort from Google to kill them too ; they almost already have...

Or maybe dumb phone time ? But I like browsing Wikipedia and playing chess and RetroArch on my phone, I don't want to lose that just because big G$ said so...

You make SOUP with chicken !? Man, I really have no idea what carnivores are actually eating x)

No. Fuck the KOSA, it's the equivalent of burning down your house to get rid of a cockroach infestation.

Meta should be liable for their algorithm, no more, no less.

Idk what's more insane : the fact they are paying, or the fact that $2M would somehow only pay for 54 students worth of scholarship...

$37K per student, seriously !? Where is that money even going to !?

So compass and straight edge is Turing complete ? Amazing !

I think there was a Japanese study that shown that pen and paper is superior in terms of memorisation even to handwriting on a tablet (in addition to the well publicised fact that handwriting is far better than typing for that too)

I wish we had more info on the subject. Definitely got me to switch back to pen and paper from my iPad, and anecdotally I think it's worked out well for me.

Eating chicken IS expensive ! It also happens to be immoral, but that's not relevant here. Vegan is cheaper unless you live in some sort of hellscape where only hyper-processed food is available.

It really depends where you live. Strawberries should be a luxury in places they don't grow locally ; I can't give a worldwide opinion on the price of strawberries.

Fruit in general should not be a luxury, but fruit from far away or fruit that require a lot of resources to grow should be.
