Social engineering is hacking. This is something between SE and prompt engineering.

Dang lady, you make that dress look GOOD.

All the World Cup games are being played in NFL stadiums in the US and existing soccer stadiums in Canada and Mexico. As far as I know there isn’t much new infrastructure being built for this one. The Olympics, on the other hand, have an obscene amount of specialized infrastructure that gets built and is typically abandoned after the games.

MetLife stadium is not in NYC, and no reasonable person is going to walk there.

Yeah, I saw that New York/New Jersey transit will be absurdly expensive for getting to MetLife stadium. Everyone is gouging for the World Cup.

Could you link any of those? I’m inclined to believe you but I’d be interested in reading one of the papers.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, season 1 of Buffy is pretty meh, but Prophecy Girl gives us the first example of what the series becomes, with the balance of humor and drama and horror.

They were barely jokes and not funny.

This is also a good example of the social construction of crime.

Looks like the advice is covered, so let’s talk about your use of the term “boomer” to refer to yourself. You are a millennial, you’re likely too young to have boomer parents.

Where did they incite violence? They posted a list of state legislative leaders after stating that the power to regulate how corporations behave is a power left to the states. Seems like what they are advocating is that people contact their state legislators and demand state level regulation of these corporations.

Indigenous Hawaiians would greet each other by touching foreheads and “sharing breath.” The English colonizers and missionaries thought that was dirty, and were called “ha ole,” “without breath.” Over time, “haole” came to mean “foreigner” and then “white” (after multiple ethnicities would intermarry while white people largely refused to do so.)

 
 

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26.2. When looking at a post if I sleep my phone and unlock it, the Voyager window will look shrunken, not filling the screen. The top bar remains the same. Force quitting and reopening resolves the issue.

The absolute scale of this

 

I’d like to hear from people who are living in the region, what specific things Nicholas Maduro did that made him notably bad. I realize that I live in an American media bubble, so the coverage I see is biased.

 

Their snouts are too long and their eyes are weird. They’re not cute, they’re another cautionary tale about selective breeding like pugs.

 

When I long press to pull up the context menu so I can save a photo, after I hit save the photo is zoomed in and does not respond to a double tap to zoom out. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

 

I have to go to a medical office at a hospital for some tests today. Not only does an ostensibly non-profit entity that makes an obscene amount of money from people who are sick or injured have the gall to charge for parking, but they have switched from the method of getting a ticket and paying later to an app that collects your data. I’m so fucking sick of every moment in life being monetized.

 

I want to start running, and I was going to start with a couch to 5k app. However, every app is either a subscription or wants access to every scrap of data on my phone, which should not be necessary to track my running and play music. Can anyone recommend an iOS app that does C25K without subscription or data mining? I’m happy to pay a one time purchase.

 

I know this is a little outside the normal scope of this community. However, I think it’s undeniable that a contributing factor to the ideas and behavior of contemporary tech oligarchs is their love of older sci-fi and fantasy literature. Seeing the authoritarian and sometimes even straightforwardly fascist ideals hidden in those works can be helpful in understanding how these people think.
