A few counterpoints to the circumcision pros that you mentioned:

• Circumcision rates are dropping across America. In some areas they ared dropping faster than others, but from what I recall the get are basically dropping everywhere to some degree. So I expect bullying about it is on the decline as it becomes less common.

• Also, the simple fact is that bullies will find any reason to be shitheads. So if it’s not circumcision it’ll be something else.

• Any straight women who are grossed out by a natural penis are idiots, and your kid will be dodging an asshole bullet if they do reject him over that.

• Better to let him decide if he wants to get it cut later or leave it uncut than to take away his free agency.

Ah yes, the latest episode in the ongoing saga of "Putin fabricates bullshit to try to distract the Russian people from the misery and suffering he’s putting them through.

That’s why she wants to speak to the manager… of the hurricane classification department.

But… Microplastics are what brains crave! They’ve got electrolytes!

That’s just crazy talk!

This reminds me of ppl when they think chocolate milk comes from brown cows

Yeah that’s just crazy.

Everyone knows chocolate milk comes from any cows that are fed large amounts of chocolate.

Citizens United strikes again.

A) because they have more money than they know what to do with it.

B) because they think that greasing his palms will help them schmooze and collude with even more ultra-wealthy people, and get them even more money and influence.

I don’t trust some of the numbers in this article.

Microsoft Teams: 100% CPU usage on 32GB machines

I’m literally sitting here right now on a Teams call (I’ve already contributed what I needed to), looking at my CPU usage, which is staying in the 4.6% to 7.3% CPU range.

Is that still too high? Probably. Have I seen it hit 100% CPU usage? Yes, rarely (but that’s usually a sign of a deeper issue).

Maybe the author is going with worst case scenario. But in that case he should probably qualify the examples more.

The world is collapsing under the weight of totalitarianism, climate change, pollution, escalating conflicts, terrorism, tariff battles, supply chain issues, job losses, diseases, and various other huge challenges. And this is the bullshit they are focusing on?!

Great job EU lawmakers! /s

May she rest in peace. She did a ton of great conservation work.

No u

Beep boop

Wouldn’t the Northeastern bloc already include New England?

Yup. That same guy.

What could possibly go doing! /s

Based on the latest South Park episodes, we all know why.

I didn’t know about this before. But sadly I’m not surprised. And I won’t be surprised if it happens in other countries too. Especially the US. The corporate and political climate in most countries is ripe for exploitation by robber barons. Eroded safeguards and unbridled corporate greed are not a good combination for the average blue- or white-collar person trying to save for retirement.

It’s the same reason IBM still exists. Massive multinational / government contracts keep them alive and healthy.

Oracle will be handling TikTok’s algorithm? Okay, so TikTok’s back-end workflow/decisioning engine will rapidly bloat up and will need to be completely replaced every two years. Got it.

[Meta] has said she was fired for “poor performance and toxic behaviour”

I read this as:

• ‘toxic behavior’ = she complained to HR about there being a hostile environment, which hurt the corporation’s feelings.
• ‘poor performance’ = she didn’t meet the impossible performance goals they gave her in retaliation for her complaining about the abuse she was suffering.

Fuck Meta and fuck Zuckerberg. The sooner they both disappear into irrelevance the better.
