@robertgraham The water consumption comparison is also extremely wrong. 16 billion gallons is nowhere near the amount of water the state uses annually. Utah uses 5.2 million acre-feet of water per year, which is 1.7 Trillion gallons, or 100x more than this datacenter will allegedly use

@BarExamTutor Here in WA, tipped employees earn the same minimum wage everyone else ($21.30/hr in Seattle). People still tip 20% and in some places, service charges are becoming mandatory
@tpru22@parodyinaskirt Having traveled in both areas, there is at least as much cultural difference between Texas and New York than there is between, say, Germany and the Netherlands (to say nothing of much smaller and more similar countries like Scandinavians or Baltics)
@CaseMoral@fugitivemama My wife bought a case of Irish Spring and diligently spread shavings around her vegetable garden. It didn't discourage the bunnies from eating everything just as quickly as the year before
@EveKeneinan A is going to reject your conclusion because academics and progressives have redefined the word "indigenous" to specifically exclude Europeans and whites
Hi @NikitaBier. I know you get a lot of mentions, and I know you’re busy. But please read this one, because this is a real-world safety issue and you’re one of the few people who understands how platform dynamics actually work.
The post pictured here publishes names, faces, and personal information of 69+ Israelis while offering a $100,000 bounty per person, falsely labeling them as Shayetet 13 commandos connected to the flotilla incident. I'm not linking the post because I don't want to spread it.
The photos appear to be scraped from random Israeli LinkedIn and social media profiles. Many are very obviously civilians, including women with zero connection to any military unit.
The algorithm is currently rewarding it.
People celebrating it are engaging.
People horrified by it are engaging.
People trying to report it are quote-tweeting it nonstop.
The result:
A bounty-style doxxing campaign stays amplified for 24+ hours while innocent people’s faces circulate across the platform.
Community Notes cannot solve a live targeting event involving civilian identities and cash rewards.
Suggested solution:
Posts containing identifiable civilian information alongside bounties, “wanted” framing, or implied calls for violence should trigger immediate visibility suppression and emergency human review before engagement-based amplification kicks in.
Free speech does not include turning random civilians into targets for harassment or violence.
This is a serious platform safety failure, and someone is eventually going to get hurt because of it.
Thank you.
@NathanCRoth It's selection on the way in and prestige on the way out. These schools get to pick the most promising candidates. Then, after graduation, people like to hire candidates with these schools on their resumes so these grads get the best opportunities.
@Cptn_Alex@Delta Online claims are genius.
@AlaskaAir has the same policy but the trick is, you have to complain to an agent and they're either never around or there's an impossible line to talk to them
@anishmoonka This is a Safeway store brand, and the current listing has 10g protein and no disclaimer, but maybe it was like this once.

A product like this is not getting lab nutritionals. They are calculating the label based on the ingredients' USDA standard facts
@145Columbine@julie_kelly2@BoredGrandma He can be deported. He has agreed to be deported to Costa Rica, a country to which he has ties and speaks the language, and they gave agreed to take him. The reason we're still spending money fighting him is because Trump wants to send him to Liberia instead for some reason
@Lord_KX_@timothycbates It's not a rare spelling, it's the British spelling. Many have missed the fact that this is a British English test with a British word list. At least as originally proctored, the "correct answers" would be the British pronunciations of these words
@JohnKir08660882@Hitchslap1 It explicitly doesn't work in the United States because this is a British test with a British word list. For example, Gaoled is not a word in the American lexicon. We spell it much more sensibly as "jailed".
