Based on? Lmao
Jesus Christ, some topics on Lemmy are just downvote pits. Why the hell are people downvoting this comment?
Fun fact: the "Runner's High" (feeling of wellness induced by physical exercise) is mediated by the endocannabinoid system. So it kinda is the same thing
How though? With nasty posts on the interwebs?
Probably not worth trying to actually use today. I'd leave it as it is, imo it's better as a small piece of history - Android on PC is pretty niche
The world was better when we had Lisztomania instead
It's kinda funny to think that the "woke mind virus" is actually real, just the exact opposite of what conservatives think it is. Something that they are spewing around, and its effects are lack of critical thought x)
A $13 billion fine does not look like a "cost of doing business" scenario to me.
European law generally isn't precedent-based, but the commission already put out a statement saying that "pay-or-okay" models are not GDPR compliant. https://www.edpb.europa.eu/system/files/2024-04/edpb_opinion_202408_consentorpay_en.pdf
"In case a gatekeeper does not comply with the obligations laid out in the DMA, the Commission can impose fines up to 10% of the company's total worldwide turnover, which can go up to 20% in case of repeated infringement."
It's a plant. The part you smoke are the flowers.
What is a "drug" and what isn't is an arbitrary, made-up distinction. There are only molecules.
Or, a culture that values respect over individualism. To each their own, but to me willingly eating food wrong to belittle a culture isn't "fun", it's just stupid and rude.
None of this is mandatory, the sign says so. They're social norms, not legal rules. It's just saying "this is how this food is consumed in its original country, and breaking these norms may result in inadvertently offending someone or embarrassing yourself", which might be something you'd like to know if you plan to travel to that country, or simply to try experiencing it in the traditional way - after all, most social norms have a hidden logical reason. Many of these exist simply to avoid making a mess.
You're free to eat however you want, however some cultures do place a lot of significance on food and how it is consumed. People in Italy will lose some respect for you if you try to order a Hawaii pizza, put ketchup on pasta, or use a knife improperly. The same goes for Japan and many other places. You'll still be served and probably treated with superficial kindness, it just depends on how much weight you put on your experience vs that of others.
So spending money gives you the right to disrespect cultures? Interesting
Or is philosophy a science? (Of conscience/the mind)
Who has ever said nicotine is not addictive? Lol
Sure the AI can break it down for the humans
Depends on who built the model, and the selection of the data used to train it. AI holds a lot of potential in my book, if you use it right. But never stop being critical of the answers you receive, and be aware of they work and their shortcomings
Maybe they could never see the actual pharaoh, but what I'm saying is that "The Pharaoh" was itself the "face" of power, and also where power and influence actually resided. Now we have surveillance and propaganda perpetuated by either known but opaque actors (e.g. governmental agencies, corporations) or simply unknown ones. You can believe or not in an international "elite" conspiracy, but by that I also mean random teen hacker groups, data brokers, gov agencies of nations other than the one you live in, etc.
History does not only repeat, and simply looking at the past can make you blind to the novel ways society has transformed. For example, oppression has been a constant throughout history, but it never has been as faceless as it is today. Lords and kings have been replaced by corporations and agencies operating across borders, in ways and with purposes that I don't think anyone who's not actually involved with can claim they fully understand.
