That's the idea. It's not easy to tell what it applies to. You have to have someone who knows better tell you. Too many concepts and names.

Worse yet, somebody uses some half-knowledge to make an interesting hack that somehow becomes a fad, and then the web can't move away from that either.

The trouble with CSS and web rendering is that we can't get rid of questionable naming choices of the past because the whole web may depend on it. So we end up coining long and hard-to-understand terms for new and supposedly better stuff. Imagine if that was just `containing-block`…

If it prevented him from signing one more shitty executive order, I guess it's worthwhile.

Agreed. Some patents are just there to block others from doing anything at all. Theoretically, you could take those patents to court and overturn them, but that's such a burden that most of the time you just end up saying "f**k that" and do something else.

Patents were supposed to protect real-person inventors from corporate exploitation by officially acknowledging their work. RN, corporations use them as big sticks to pound at each other.

Patents should be only owned by real persons. Non-transferable. Only licensed non-exclusively.

So it is the genuine human-made SEO slop that they trained the models on?

"Cognitive decline" is a mild statement, as if whatever parameter is nearing a zero point.

The case here is long past the zero point. It's in the negative space, where the level of absurdity is so high that it's truly hard to counter it with usual methods.

Happens to empires in decline.

As the late Professor Hans Rosling would say: "Is it better? Yes! Is it good? No!"

How do we do that?

Also, there are some smart and religious people who accomplished good things and stood against established wrongs.

They did that **despite** their religion, not because of it, even when they claimed so.

They're easier to fool. All religion is a big scam to gaslight the masses into relinquishing power to a few. That wouldn't be possible if the masses were all capable of proper critical thought.

BTW, it doesn't matter what religion it is.

They will not call it that though.

It ends at the cat. The cat is too cool to give a fuck. 😺

That's not coherent at all

Because they can get away with it. The next person is easily available and not any wiser.

But is it?

That headline is scary. It’s a very dangerous precedent when the police associate themselves with justice.

A police force should know by heart that their domain is order and security only. A proper force never mentions justice.

Police serving “justice” is the approach of fascism in disguise.
