Hard boiled currency.

Isn’t Ketamine currently in use for some mental health treatments though?

If the CEO doesn’t like hurting vulnerable people they can find another job. They don’t have to do it.

Is everyone equally responsible though? CEOs would have intimate knowledge of their business model, and power to change it. Otherwise they aren’t doing their job.

Yeah, but it would be hypocritical, which is the point the image is making.

Because the first-past-the-post system makes it very unlikely for more parties to emerge.

I remember listening to Frank Zappa’s Bobby Brown when I was a kid, not knowing English at all. Great song but very inappropriate for kids, which my parents probably thought was funny.

Does it do what Perplexity does?

Probably, but it would depend on how much gross revenue they make on said practice, and how often they get a fine.

Seem much smarter and humane to redistribute the resources, and direct most of those resources to find resource efficient processes.

It wasn’t tens of millions deaths if that’s what you’re implying. An atrocity but always good to stay to the facts.

If there is money to be made those companies would make deals for data/ad-space, it’s just that they will do it in competition with other ad services and search services for example. That’s how a healthy market works, no? (Aside from the problematic data brokerage which is another issue)

And if they can’t survive that, then the business should probably not exist.

In that sense you could argue the market is “hurt” but I think consumers will benefit in the long run when competition can thrive, and monopolies do not exist.

Then the search company buy the ad service from the ad company, as all other search engines can then do as well. Isn’t that the point of breaking up a big company?

I’m a layman, but how is that harming the market?

I think the creator and writer of The Wire based the characters and plot in his experience as a journalist working for Baltimore Sun. Some characters are less fictional than others, but I think he wanted to depict and emphasize how the city works. So maybe not too far from the real Baltimore.

I think while some characters are plain shit persons, many characters have a lot of depth in them, making you feel and root for them despite being the “bad guys”.

It also shows that doing what would be considered “right” will not always work out for you.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned The Wire. A TVshow taking place in Baltimore about intricate relationship between drug dealers, police and politics. Love every part of it!

It’s shot in 4:3 aspect ratio despite 16:9 starting to become the standard for tv at the time. It’s has since been “remastered” and adjusted to 16:9 aspect ratio. I was worried it would ruin an already perfect show but I actually liked it. It’s an HBO show.

Long episodes (60min?) and might take a few episodes to get into as there are many characters and storylines that interlace.

Thanks be later, probably.

It’s Markdown, which is a a fairly standard and minimalistic formatting syntax.

So you browse the web without css? Now that’s old school!

I was just gonna say, has to Flux

What about that is Zoroastrian?

Ah, perhaps not as standard as I thought!
