My son needs a haircut and he chose to visit the local blokey place. It's all football, lad culture, and misogynistic rap music. Not really my vibe but they can do the trendy style he wants.
TV is showing football but on a Chinese TV channel so adverts are for Chinese brands (and McDonald's).
I'm curious why the written text uses western numbers rather than chinese. Are the Chinese numbers harder to read or something. Does anyone know?

Wafrn, if a Gay man is crushing on a trans woman, is he now pan or bi or is he being transphobic in your opinion.

I want to post a risky post actually, but I'm still considering the good platform for that post. Would it be good to post it here?

but why?

Also, isn’t capitalism literally just a complicated pyramid scheme?

Like, the gd point is to “extract value” at each stage, as much as possible, for as long as other people let you get away with it.

I prefer my #MagicWandWishList and its various ideas that don’t actually require a magic wand. But anyway, what am I missing? Cuz I gotta be missing something(s), I’m sure.

TIL: The Vatican is on LinkedIn!

Also,

TIL: It's on the Microsoft website -https://unlocked.microsoft.com/vatican

... but not on the Vatican site. So who is more enthusiastic about this?

If Trump were to get a disabling heart attack or stroke or something, so he cannot stay in the election, would Vance then automatically be his successor as candidate or would the republicans have to choose a new candidate?
Not that I wish Trump, or anyone, ill health, but out of curiosity. He doesn’t seem to be in peak health.

Why do #planes have headlights? I was just driving home from work and an #aircraft caught my attention. It’s a beautifully clear night #tonight, and I could see the blackness of the sky lit up by the beam of this plane’s headlight. They’re at about 7000ft when they pass over me en route to #MAN, but I have to wonder what’s the point? If they see another aircraft then #TCAS has failed spectacularly, so what exactly is the reason?

Sarah Silverman sues #openai over #copyright . On the one hand, I can understand where she’s coming from. However, I ‘m not sure if copyright is exactly what is at stake here.

If I read a text, and I’m inspired to create content, I’m not infringing copyright. What’s the difference with AI?

I understand how #AI can interact with politics and economics to make the world worse, but I can’t even imagine a plausible scenario in which it’s an existential threat to our species. What am I missing? #existentialthreat #genuinequestion #imeanreally

I know I should know this, but when someone says that they're "into crypto" what does that actually mean? Does that just mean that they buy bitcoin, dogecoin and/or etherium and wait for the price to go up so they can sell it? That can't take longer than, I dunno, ten minutes every day, can it?

(Yes, I know that buying company stock is the same thing, but there are thousands of companies)

Why is one 'better' than the other?

Surely both are below the threshold?

Do you find ❄️'s `GET_QUERY_OPERATOR_STATS()` sufficient for perf investigation? AFAICT it only contains the contents of the query history graphic. Doesn't provide any insight on byte flow (vs row flow) and/or why the plan was chosen. #genuinequestion
