Do you think it is ethical to work for a company that builds drones, weaponry, or supplies parts to the military?

    I'd like to add that not all military devices are designed to do damage. Take the Iron Dome for example. I'm not pro-Israel in any way but it's always ethical to work on the Iron Dome because it is only used to save lives.

    Money doesn't fix everything. It goes a long way in elementary school, but I went to a high school that had far more funding and tech than it needed yet underperformed because the students were horrible people.

    I think the issue is with normalizing unhealthy bodies. idc how you look as long as you're healthy, but society is becoming increasingly accepting of obviously unhealthy lifestyles and bodies. It's no better than anorexia.

    One comment I've heard on images like this is that there's no way to know how accurate they are to the reality of tribal combat. It's completely possible that this was just ceremonial and was put on for the photographer. It could also have been fairly rare and not indicative of warfare as a whole.

    Regardless, it's incredibly interesting to see and this is the content I want more of.

    Why? I would be violating all of the core beliefs I have by voting for Biden, and I would be violating them by voting for Trump. I'll probably vote third party and everyone else should too.

    Actually, violence is taboo in emojis too. People got the main companies to change the gun emoji to a water gun because that would stop mass shootings or something idk.

    Would Trump really be worse? Biden has done absolutely nothing to stop Israel. He's said a lot of stuff but there has been no action. I won't be voting for Biden because of this (and Afghanistan, and his diminishing mental capabilities, and etc.)

    If it's really bad you can alternate the two drugs every two hours (take ibuprofen, wait two hours, take acetaminophen, wait two hours, take ibuprofen, etc.). I was told this after getting my wisdom teeth taken out and still use the tip to this day. It prevents the drugs from wearing off after a while.

    Please only do this in "emergencies" though.

    Funnily enough, Google's AI refuses to show white people. When asked to show the founding fathers it only shows black people, and when told to be more historically accurate it says that it would be racist to include white people. There are plenty of other examples.

    Our society doesn't cater to them. They decided that public schools weren't good enough so they went and made their own. I completely agree with them, public schools do suck.

    Now that the hype's died down for the game, what's everyone's opinions about the game? Personally, I'm having more fun with it than I have with most other FPS games.

    Did the average European know about the New World around 1500? Did people fantasize about the New World in a way similar to how people fantasize about space travel today?

    I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I even think that Abu Dhabi 2021 was a mistake and not rigged, but this looks incredibly suspicious to me. Verstappen easily could have gotten a penalty for this and coincidentally Alpha Tauri just doesn't show up? I hope this gets investigated so we can put our minds at ease.

    There are simply some communities I can't find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I'd much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.

    I've noticed that it's been a trend for quite some time to form complete sentences while not capitalizing letters in their correct places. This just personally annoys be a bit (yeah, yeah, grammar police, I know) and I can't figure out why people do this.

    We had some solid racing today and Sainz performed better than most expected. A Red Bull 1-2 is to be expected whenever Perez qualifies well so I'm just happy that Leclerc and Sainz got to battle.
