You and I know thats true and piracy in some cases is shown to increase sales because people decide its worth money and/or talk about it more. Heck some people pirate things they already own just because they’re too lazy to find the copy they own.

Their (incorrect) logic is that if you were pirating you weren’t purchasing their content anyway.

Some forms of money are more imaginary than others.

The CEO also has the big screens. Their peons have two why would they only have one? What screens they’re on the most is a different question.

I don’t think Vance pulls out.

That’s not what evolution means nor how it works.

If aid isnt getting in what makes you think birth control is? When every moment could be your last you take what pleasures you can and hope for a better tomorrow.

Probably to be used against the adult hostages with potential to be forced into the gang or otherwise used and abused.

That’s literally what calling your government representatives is. You’re supposed to be able to pressure your representative to represent you.

A lot of scientists are not great communicators. I am much better over text than I am in person… I never shoo anyone away in person but I also understand that in social settings most people only ask what I do out of courtesy rather than genuine interest.

People enjoy the way certain people share their passion. This is a bit overdone for gaming channels focused on kids e.g. pewdiepie but there’s also the dude building a hut with Neolithic tools, or tasting rations, trying new foods, or just reacting to fried rice (uncle roger), gardening, or powerwashing. Nilered shares his passion for chemistry in a way a lot of people enjoy but for better or worse I don’t think it is about understanding Nature as much as it is connecting with a fellow human.

PhDs are philosophy degrees because whether on purpose or not theses are filled with the personal philosophy of the writer wrapped in the paper of whatever research.

So what do people run on their fairphone? Graphene has been the only non mainstream commercial mobile os I’ve heard of even on lemmy.

Scihub if its before the last few years. Otherwise email authors and/or post a link on a science forum asking if anyone has a pdf to share.

To the testes not the person (long-term maybe) but it is usually easily treated if soon enough.

Abortion is explicitly legal in Montana. The parental consent law would have meant that parental approval was required for a minor to get an abortion.

The Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade made it state laws that matter on abortion.

This decade has lasted centuries.

This isn’t necessarily about the burial itself but usually there is an opportunity for a relative or relatives to confirm that the body is who is expected. Especially during war, dog tags and other record matching may help but not always. Logistics are complex during war and wounds can make proper identification difficult.

The UK did it mostly in the 20th century till the practice started falling out of favor. Personally never experienced or heard of it irl in the US but its in movies and TV pretty often.

If you sneak in to get him, he’s helpful in fighting the higher ranking gob mobs.

I certainly will but I know other parents won’t until the kids learn how to get around whatever parental restrictions and we get Barbie saying some real fucked up shit. That gets them sued.
