Well, force yourself to care.

I'd argue that there is a very strong value in doing something good, not just because it's genetically or socially imprinted on you, but because you actually decide to do it.

This applies to everything, there is no merit in being good at something just because you were born that way.

Google and Meta are both Advertising companies.

If we want to decrease a tiny bit the insane imbalance in societies we need to have a strong discussion about taxing advertising.

Non-Hebbian and Anti-Hebbian potentiation have been well studied for decades. Anti-Hebbian notably for inhibitory connections.

Subsequent legislations are EU directives (and associated EU fines), which are not as corrupted as local legislations, and forced the UK to start building the Thames Tideway for instance. The population chose Brexit though.

If we are at the point where a hiring manager for a position deeply related to an open source library is not at least checking if the authors would be interested, I'm not sure.

Maybe if we reverted back to the original Nuclear Magnetic Resonance name, people would understand it could be a bit more dangerous that just an image when we are not careful.

This case sounds crazy, I cannot even imagine loosing a child and how anybody could expect someone to keep sane in those conditions.

Beyond this, there is a very clear difference between inciting hatred towards a group of people based on race, religion, nationality, origin, etc, and towards a single individual without those aggravations. The law is quite clear about this distinction in various countries (Public Order Act in the UK for instance), and the penalties are rightfully much stronger when one would try to instil hatred towards a racial (or other) group.

Isn’t it what the EU is doing step by step to protect its citizens?

Politicians should be jailed, both on the legislative and executive side, including Presidents, if they ignore the law. France is showing this once again with hopeful Marine Le Pen and former president Sarkozy, together with dozens of their associates.

As an occasional user, can confirm that motion sickness pills (e.g. Cinnarizine, one of the most used in the British Navy) make dizzy, some more than other, and that it’s still much better overall than not taking them.

There are some many kids with mesiodens and such that the diagram should also have little weirdly shaped bumps all around also. Also there shouldn't be an age limit for tooth fairies! I'm sure someone's great grandma would love the chocolate!

Just for the confusion, in France, Belgium and areas around, it's bells, flying back from Rome, that bring chocolate to the children. The bells on churches fly there and are silent for some time and then come back on Easter with the sweets.
