Considering they don't pay moderators, I don't think they do.

Not news. Kids are pressured to buy things their friends have, regardless of medium. Duh.

They're forced to work 12+ hours a day, every day, if they want to get anywhere. I wonder where the time to find a partner and have children is supposed to come from?

Nah, California is pretty great. I'd say it would be the place I'd move to if money weren't an issue. As long as you can afford it, CA is an amazing place to live with widely varied culture, fantastic weather, and an incredible number of things to explore and experience.

You can find every biome across the state, and you can literally go surfing in the morning, drive up the Pacific Coast Highway and through beautiful, lush valleys, in perfect 72 and sunny weather, on your way to snowboard in the mountains for the afternoon, into a nice chilly overnight at the lodge, and back down the coast the next day, because the weather is perfect again.

That's just one of the countless things to do in California. You'll also get clean air, a comprehensive interstate highway system, better public services, a near infinite variety of food, and generally better quality of life than many other places.

CA isn't perfect, but I can't think of anywhere else that could ever match it for me.

with a smokescreen

I wouldn't say it's a smokescreen, they're pretty open about genocide, e.g. Netanyahu's call to "finish the job". I'd say that's everything short of a direct call for literal genocide, given the context.

by a different name

It's literally just genocide, cut and dry. (I do understand your point, just emphasizing my view).

Good, so let's train crappy AI on posts by crappier AI, which was trained by posts from even crappier AI before it.

God I love credit unions.

They seriously blamed the customers, anybody but themselves for this boondoggle.

• 2 unskippable pre rolls that advertise drugs to treat the causes of the emergency condition
• 5 minute long explanation of the creator's life story
• 1 minute long subscription beg
• 2 extended sponsor breaks with awkward segues
• first 30 seconds of content
• patient is dead

Goes to show how much they value education there.

A $70 DLC (it was literally supposed to be DLC) is a best seller. That's where the industry is now. Cool, cool, cool.
