If you disregard a belief because it is detrimental to yourself or others, then you are not in a religion, you are not in a cult, you just believe in what makes you comfortable and that is okay. Religion is fine, until it causes detriment to other people, which is what it has done in all of history.

Believe in what you like, just don’t impose that on others. Live and let live.

A cult is devotion no matter what. Religions are cults.

Donate to science or cremate.

Whether or not it was the direct cause in this case, fireworks cause a lot of animals a lot of stress and deaths do come from it.

I don’t see why anyone needs to be able to buy explosives to use at home, firework shows should be organised in set locations and should use low noise fireworks as much as possible.

It’s not the price that is the problem, it’s how iCloud is integrated into the device, in a way Apple don’t allow other cloud services to do. iCloud has access other apps simply do not, so they cannot compete fairly.

The downside is some shitty far-right service is now getting free publicity.

You are also underestimating how sites like SO really helped a new generation of programmers learn. Anyone could search and learn things, whether to take a serious approach or just for a bit of fun.

Why is there so much nationalism at a club match…

The problem is, its very hard to hide the fact you are a smoker. This is why the ban will be effective, its not worth it for kids to take it up.

Trump by all metrics is a much much worse candidate. The democrats should have been able to run a literal turd and still win. It’s not about the policies, Trump ran a cult and it worked. Its absolutely mental.

Because it’s a gradual ban, rather than a blanket ban for everyone immediately, they are hoping the demand won’t be there by the time the last generation of legal smokers die off (sooner than you think given cigarettes are designed to kill).

Yeah, in the far future I can see some uses when it’s really matured, but I still think more specialised robots will be designed instead.

Yeah, but like, you can have robots on rails. Factories are often designed with automation in mind, rather than slapping it on afterwards.

I mean in the far distant future… yeah I agree.

But back to preset times, when robots like these are cheap enough for a small company to buy over hiring someone, then it will be cheap enough to buy custom robots too.

Yeah, but I just don’t see a use case for a humanoid robot, a standard robot arm could do the job in the video. Robots are better when designed for specific jobs.

Cool tech, but what’s the intended use case for the end product? Or is there no use case until it’s as good as a human?

That’s how it should be. Cut them a slice of their own pie.

Happens a lot with streamers, they sit there rotting to an audience of yes men, if anyone doesn’t agree they can just remove their opinion, while making money. So it just reinforces the behaviour.

I have no interest in his content, but I hope he does change. But maybe you are right that he will just slip back again after fostering that toxic environment for another year.

This is just false, the policy applies to both real people and avatars. It’s even in the article if you bothered to read it.

Their policies are mostly fine, it’s the lackluster and cherrypicking enforcement that is the problem.

The cost of solar panels on a new build is extremely marginal for the long term benefits they provide to the owners of the house, the environment and the general electric grid. They should absolutely be a requirement.
