Texts threatening deportation and ‘re-education’ for gays stoke both fear and defiance
  • Between this and the plantation texts how the fuck is the FBI not giving any external communication about investigations. Do they really have absolutely nothing to show?

    These texts are domestic terrorism. They're non-violent but they absolutely fit the bill for terrorism.

  • Gen Zedders might just be the most risk-averse generation on record
  • This article is focused on traditional measures of risk (drinking and sex) and is ignoring novel forms of risk... Gen Z appears to be extremely active in the gambling markets (particularly sports and political) in a way that older folks simply haven't engaged in.

  • Death of 19-year-old employee found in Walmart walk-in oven was not foul play, police say
  • Just before people misunderstand... a lack of foul play means the investigators don't believe it was an intentional act of murder... but Walmart may still be found guilty of gross-negligance in creating an unsafe work environment.

  • Gen Zedders might just be the most risk-averse generation on record
  • I think there are some things we need to learn about people that grew up on the unregulated internet. I normally hate generation generalizations but Millenials (at least us 80s kids) were the last people who got to grow up without the internet being omnipresent in our lives before we hit puberty.

  • Bank of Mum and Dad: why we all now live in an ‘inheritocracy’
  • It's really fucking complicated and we don't really assign purchases in a way that'd fully solve the problem - but if taken to a logical extreme I think simply taxing gifts as income sort of fixes all the loopholes.

    If we're talking about the US the minimum income threshold for taxation is 13,850 - most personal expenses children incur wouldn't sum up to exceed that threshold (outside of medical bills which it's insane you have privatized in the US). So if gifts were treated as an income source then the first time kids would probably be hit with any owed taxes would be being gifted a car or being gifted college tuition.

    I think the standard exemption should probably be higher than it is but it's still high enough to cover what we generally consider common expenses when raising a child. Using a rule like this would really even out the playing field for kids.

  • shower thought - gleba spoilage is analogous to error handling
  • You can think of it that way - sure. If you want a deeper insight into development I'd just consider it a form of conditional switching. I think back to washing ores in SeaBlock (you're running recipes that could output one of like six things and sushi-ing is the only real recourse). Some filters might be dealing with success cases, some might be error cases - they aren't really treated any different at a basic level. The data needs to go where it's supposed to and exceptions (excepting unhandled ones) aren't really any different than any other status response.

    Many operations can return multiple states, a "correct" usage of that operation is being able to handle all of those states in a reasonable and planned manner.

    Fabricated Conversations

    Just a sanity check here but... yall ever been mid conversation with someone and confused that they've forgotten a thing you talked about... until you realize that previous conversation took place entirely in your head?
