A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?
  • I hate their current abhorrent nationalism and imperialism, but their anthem is kinda great.

  • OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman
  • It's the famous "As long as your not Google, Amazon or Apple" licence.

  • 2nd-ever nitrogen gas execution in US set to take place in Alabama
  • The key story for Christians is that a man was unjustly executed by religious authorities and the state even though he was without sin. This unjust sacrifice atones for all of humanities sin. So kinda hard to justify execution from a Christian perspective if you actually believe that stuff.

  • Colourful mohawk bird on the right is way cooler

  • What weird false belief did you have as a kid?
  • Plot twist: OPs father actually works at the United States Mint (but in an office job)

  • Big corporation locations, franchises, or independent shops, which is better to work at for retail?
  • Worked shortly as a bike delivery guy for a small independent German bookstore. They did deliveries in the small town and you could order books by phone or email. The atmosphere in the shop was chill. The owner was an old really well-read hippie, who was really friendly.The pay was rather shit but I'd say it was overall a good job.

  • When is the last time you witnessed a real life situation where you were like "Wait, what? No."
  • Under the GDPR, employers in the EU can only monitor employees' work emails if it is necessary, proportionate, and serves a legitimate purpose, such as ensuring compliance or security. Employees must be informed about the monitoring in advance, and clear policies should be in place to respect transparency and consent requirements. Any monitoring must also balance the employer's business interests with the employees' right to privacy, ensuring minimal intrusion. Some countries like Germany have really strict interpretations of how to apply the GDPR here.

  • ich🟦=🟫iel
  • Absolut Haram!

  • Philosophy
  • 35-year old Heidegger slid into the DMs of 18-year old Ahrendt as her professor. This was way before you were cancelled for 'sleeping with students' or for 'being a fascist' was a thing.

  • What is your favourite breakfast food?
  • I usually eat a simple Porridge, but if I want to make something fancy on a weekend I make pancakes for my family.

  • When is the last time you witnessed a real life situation where you were like "Wait, what? No."
  • Yeah but people are highly aware of it and there is even a disclaimer in Email Signatures that everything is tracked. If you are dealing with government ministries in European countries some of the (unofficial) information exchange is done without written record, either at in-person conferences or even through non-work phones.

  • When is the last time you witnessed a real life situation where you were like "Wait, what? No."
  • Highly illegal in the EU. Also highly stupid everywhere else. The big question is "How secure is your user espionage system and can an outsider get acces?". The data from something like this is a social engineering goldmine.

  • ‘Entire ecosystem’ of fossils 8.7m years old found under Los Angeles high school
  • So this school was built on an ancient Pleistocene burial ground. I know that trope well enough to know what happened next

  • Thoughts
  • Haha, but my only intrusive thought is that the wizard cat is a cute chonker

  • What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?

    Examples: Itchy & Scratchy from The Simpsons, The Scary Door from Futurama, or The Grand Inquisitor from Dostoevsky.
