  • The big D lol

  • An average of 140 women and girls were killed by a partner or relative per day in 2023, the UN says
  • Textbook whataboutism.

    There are different solutions to different sources of violence. A holistic approach as you advocate for would include tactical solutions where you look at underlying causes of violence towards specific groups as well as broad strategic solutions to analyze the problem at large.

    You can acknowledge violence as a whole while simultaneously understanding that domestic violence affects some groups more than others, and that "solving violence" may require specific approaches to handling domestic abuse.

  • How can we teach the younger generation What is right or wrong if there are no consequences anymore?
  • The entire concept that something is right or wrong only if there is a consequence is everything that's fucking wrong with the world right now.

    We need to teach our children, and ourselves, that doing the right thing always matters despite or in spite of a lack of consequence.

  • Despite running load tests that simulated 200,000 users, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 devs admit that they 'completely underestimated' how many players would actually want to play their game
  • It's not, because downloading assets was not working, and with it not working eventually the user will shut it down thus having an effect on peak concurrent. It's not even that complex. If people can play your game they will stay on it increasing the count, if people cannot play your game they will not, thus decreasing the count.

  • Petrichor
  • Diff smell.

    I call this 'outside' smell and you can smell it on a clear day.

  • Why is the word "expat" a thing?
  • Immigration is permanent residence. You can move somewhere not permanently, like on a temporary work visa - that is an expat. US/UK/Canada have a lot of treaty agreements with other countries, so a Canadian citizenship will essentially allow you into many countries more easily than those coming from a third world country. People from third world countries have to go through a more intensive visa process for temporary residence.

    Another reason expat applies generally is because generally an expat from the US does not renounce their US citizenship despite the tax implications due to the need/desire to return home. The US is one of the few countries that will tax a US citizen anywhere in the world, which I think leads to the increased use of the word expat.

  • Hyundai Is Bringing Back Buttons Because Touchscreens Are ‘Annoying’
  • bet this will be a premium feature.

  • I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there.
  • You're not supposed to intrinsically have your sense of direction in an unfamiliar location. Some people can do that but assuming you're not paying full attention on your way to a new location it's actually normal and expected to have to get your bearings which means taking a moment to orient yourself and figure out what direction is what. And then it's easy to forget (let's say you step into a store) until you build a sense of landmarks. Also the more dense a location the harder it is because it's more complex.

  • Apple Quietly Introduced iPhone Reboot Code Which is Locking Out Cops
  • This is clearly the Samsung interface and thus not stock Android. Doesn't even really look like the same feature.
