Call yourself an "expat" and apparently you never have to integrate.

So... this is for Gazans who "do not want to live under Hamas", but they wouldn't be allowed to leave.

It seems to me like Israel is creating a concentration camp and will declare that anyone outside of it is Hamas and they can kill them all with impunity.

This community seems to think that bad things happening to bad people is uplifting, or that justice is uplifting. It doesn't feel that way to me though.

I thought woke came from black culture as a way to describe knowing about the history of oppression that is left out of mainstream education.

You know, things like the Tulsa massacre, the MOVE bombing, the Tuskegee medical experiments, and so on.

As in, "don't sleep through life believing the fantasy painted by your oppressors... wake up! get woke!"

I'd like to push back on this notion.

Fundamentally it feels like saying, "a good deed is only good if done for the right reason".

That might be important for religion or some other way to measure individual morality, but as a society it really doesn't matter. In fact, having some sort of reward for helping others is useful, since it encourages people to be kind.

I would be pleased as punch if the wealthy and powerful were admired for how much they made the world a better place, instead of because of the size of the swimming pool filled with gold coins in their basement.

My partner's favorite song! I've never heard a live version, thanks!

Hm. They also plan on dropping support for 90% of existing RISC-V systems.

This title mis-characterizes the report. Basically people who use the car less than 5% are much less happy. Everyone else is about the same. Indeed people who use the car between 50% and 95% of the time are the happiest. 😟

I'm willing to believe that it's a mix of both malice and incompetence.

Space opera, specifically.

Ukraine seems to have ended up with a good leader doing that. 😉
