That's the idea. US prisons are designed around cruel and unusual punishments. sexual violence by guards is already rampant, and sexual violence in general is so ubiquitous it's literally one of the first things people think of when they think of prison. The judge that ruled she needed to go to a male prison did so intentionally and the cruelty is the point.

Honestly, the only reason this made the news is because her fellow prisoners are helping her and doing favors for her, instead of punishing her further. There wouldn't be a news article if it was just another story of violence done to a trans woman

I think they were pointing to the media trying to shift the focus to race. "You're problem isn't because you're poor, it's because of all those nasty people who are different to you".

Anything to prevent class consciousness and organization.

His skin color.

Hopefully it's obvious I don't agree with that statement, but at the end of the day, that's what this case is really about.

The Catholic Church has the power and influence to cover those things up and pressure victims into silence. Hollywood has a huge power imbalance as well. Where in the world does the LGBTQ+ community have such power? The only answer these fascists can give is "the Jews".

If there was large scale abuse going on in the LGBTQ+ community, it would have been found out for sure; especially considering how many hateful zealots spend their retirement actively hunting the imaginary abuse. (I'm also not saying there's no abuse because well, humans suck. just that it isn't large scale, organized, and actively defended like churches and corporate hierarchies)

Wow. I thought to myself surely they would be using some blatant dog whistle for the removed, but nope, steam is fully letting them rate games negatively by using every slur in the book.

This definitely looks much worse for steam than any of these sad, lifeless homunculi. I reported them and made note about how letting this group continue looks awful for steam and not taking action reads as endorsement.

but it's MUCH cheaper, so keeping with every other shitty idea he's ever had, Musk was REALLY banking on Tesla engineers to make a crazy breakthrough so he could reap billions in reward.

It worked at SpaceX because of a perfect concoction of all the best rocket scientists and engineers wanting to work at SpaceX, since it was one of the only space programs not owned by a government and could push the boundaries, the technology being possible and wildly practical to implement, and massive government subsidies.

Tesla is in the car market, which is notoriously competitive and, while they do have massive government subsidies, they don't have the best engineers and musk's insistence that they "figure out" how to shove autonomous driving into a medium that simply doesn't provide enough information drives even the better engineers away.

I really wish my government would stop funding his ego and let his fantasy projects die already.

Listen to how a large portion (obviously not all) Israelis talk about Palestinians. They genuinely do not view them as humans and certainly do not value their lives. They speak of the ongoing genocide with gleeful anticipation. People will literally go to the border to taunt Palestinian parents who've lost their children or the orphans themselves.

They're not shooting a 4 year old kid, they're simply shooting another "worthless" Palestinian. This way of thinking was and is specifically crafted to enable almost every genocide that has ever happened.

Side eyes BLM protests, Free Palestine demonstrations and generally most left wing events that are definitely never unjustly broken up by police.

https://youtu.be/FS52QdHNTh8?si=Cr5PW-7FQJimgHbI your post reminded me of this amazing documentary called "The Brainwashing of my Dad" in which the documentarian talks about how Rush Limbaugh and the greater right wing fox news propaganda machine turned a man he once respected and looked up to for his strong character and morals into a barely functioning hatemonger.

I always interpreted "heat death" as "the death of heat" instead of "a hot death"

well, their problem wasn't exactly because of the color of the suit

So we can't criticize a government invading a foreign nation under false pretenses because a different government is also invading a foreign nation under false pretenses?

Two things can be bad at the same time.

The reason Andrew Tate clips get spammed so much is because one of the first things he tells his lemmings to do to "break out of the matrix" is to repost at least one of his clips a day. He even explicitly tells them that the more controversial the clip is, the better

it's actually a really great conspiracy thriller. I'd fully recommend it. I'm sure right wing weirdos could read too much into it and find a message they agree with, but they do that with everything anyways.

I didn't find it overtly political beyond money = corruption = shady people being able to get away with shady stuff

to cause the symptoms by shaking a child, one would have to shake the child extremely violently, with forces comparable to being in a car crash. You really have to have the intent to kill to cause the levels of brain injuries described in SBS.

A lot of these kinds of convictions are because a parent or caretaker admitted to trying to shake the baby to wake it up after it was already unconscious, due to an accident or the baby just falling ill suddenly. in the particular case, the baby slipped from the fathers hands after a bath and hit its head against the toilet. a terrible tragedy, but not murder. and since he was autistic and didn't display the "proper" emotional response, nurses even went so far as accusing him of sexually assaulting the baby beforehand on no other evidence than the fact they didn't like the cut of his jib. Now the state will murder him for that

distance: how far you've traveled if you put all the steps in a line (may also be gps tracked too)

azm: active zone minutes or how many minutes you've spent with your heart rate in the "active zone" where you burn more calories

floors: how many flights of stairs you've climbed

calories: estimate of how many calories you've burnt based on all the other stats

How many people are needed to run an equivalent amount of non self checkouts? Just because they need some employees doesn't mean they aren't reducing the amount of jobs overall.

I really like using .env files, but you can hard code env vars in the compose file itself if you want.

Usually, prepubescent kids who are trans and have talked extensively with doctors and guardians take hormone blockers. They don't take any extra hormones, just medicine to block puberty hormones to stop permanent changes to their body until they're older. If they stop taking the blockers at any point, puberty will resume as normal from the halted point. No trans children anywhere are receiving permanent alterations unless they are denied care and opt to leave the world entirely.

Trans healthcare saves lives, especially of young kids faced with their body going through permanent uncomfortable changes without their consent, as, in more extreme cases, puberty can even be considered traumatic for certain trans people.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the final one is the symbol for "five" and it takes 5 strokes to draw. it'd be like drawing a 5 one segment at a time in an eight segment number display as the tally marks.
