Spotify launches a new Basic streaming plan in the US
  • Agreed. And they may have Tidal outclassed for the student bundle if you like the TV streaming services it comes with, but it's not like college students have time for TV anyways. I just like to listen to music while studying for a test, for the same $5.99 / mo (within $1 of each other anyways) I'll take lossless audio over a TV service I'll never use.

  • 40 years of Boston Dynamics
  • Boston dynamics is trying to focus on research until they create a product they think has value, rather than release what they have now. AI is mostly running on hype, it's severely underdeveloped for what the media is saying it's capable of. Atlas isn't ready to be alone in an airport loading baggage. Spot, on the other hand, is ready for survey operations in hazardous areas, and has been released now that it's a viable product.

  • Catholic Bishops finally apologize for church’s role in harming kids at Indigenous boarding schools
  • "Church's role in harming kids..."

    That's a funny way to spell "church officials raping kids..."

    Editorial watering down like this is disgusting. Even if it wasn't intentional, if you as the reporter aren't comfortable calling sexual abuse rape in a headline and have to water it down to "harm," that's another reason to keep it full-strength. If it makes people mad, good. The truth should make people mad in cases like this.

  • _____ Rule
  • Correct! Thank you for catching that, I accidentally put it in third declension. So yes Wuges. I was referencing when second declension nouns borrowed into English sometimes remain -i for the plural (as in radii, stimuli etc.) So Wugus, Wugi.

    Oh yeah and sometimes it's actually Greek causing irregulars (looking at you, criteria)...

  • _____ Rule
  • Wugs, if its an Anglo root, unless it's derived from Latin "Wug*, wugīs" in which case there are two Wugi (wûg-eye). Unless its one of the random Latin words where we don't do that and it's still "wugs." Unless it's a loanword from germanic then we might anglicise it or we might say "wugar." Because eNgLIsH iS EaSY...

  • The police need this for...?
  • I propose we buy a few, mount machine guns on them, and paint them in rainbow pride colours just to screw with the "liberals are weak sissies boohoo" nonsense. We gotta have artillery too lol. But, ya know, use it to protect human rights rather than harassing innocent civilians like those pigs...

  • Pure light being
  • Agreed. While I love dogs like crazy, and personally don't mind it (I'm big enough that it's not a problem), I only think it's OK if it's a puppy who isn't old enough to have learned yet... and even then they need to be trained, or they won't behave later.

  • Disco Inferno
  • Yes, and Google Translate is a huge red flag as well. Having taken six years of Latin in school I can confidently say that Google will lie to your face. Discō does not mean "I go / am going" (eō would be more appropriate). It directly means "I am learning" with "hell" in the ablative case, so it's assumed to mean "I'm learning (through / by means of) hell / Inferno." So it's very poetic, but the given translation of "I am learning by way of hellfire (torture)" certainly works. I've seen stranger from Cicero...

  • My rant against Christian doctrine - The people aren't the problem...

    So, with family anyways, despite all outside appearances Christians don't 'hate' a child who turns away. They still love the kid, but their religion teaches them that if they truly love them, they must do anything to make them come back to their religion - even abuse them hoping the kid breaks down and 'repents.' That's how twisted their doctrine is. It makes them commit atrocities in the name of love. And they're blind to it, because even when others point out how evil their abuse is, the doctrine teaches them that others will call "'good' (abuse) evil and 'evil' (acceptance) good." They truly believe they're helping. They believe that if their child is 'going to hell,' any amount of trauma and abuse with even a chance of preventing that is justified. It's not the people, it's the ideology. The very fundamentals of Christianity justify literally anything to convert a soul. It is fundamentally evil, all the way back to the moment Jesus died. Anything that claims to be better is no longer Christianity.

    My source: The story of my life. A story of abuse and pain, of seeing my loving mother become a monster when I left the church. Forcing me to leave my unbelieving friends. Controling every part of my mind and beliefs to 'save' me. And seeing the atrocities that I committed under that same doctrine, and how I was blinded by it.

    This needs to end. Christianity must end. The problem isn't the people - it's the doctrine. And until the moment that Christan doctrine is destroyed forever, it will never cease to turn more innocent, loving people - even my own mother - into monsters blinded by their evil.
