Have you heard of “sexy indifference”? A relative of mine mentioned it. It kind of makes sense. If you don’t seem desperate or greedy for a relationship, you’ll be more fun to be around and won’t care as much either, because you have your own thing going on.

The shots didn’t get anywhere near him, he is not a victim. Maybe all of the R’s can now go to golf clubs in solidarity with him. It would be way better than wearing a maxipad on their ears.

As detailed in the complaint, the defendants’ alleged scheme has three main components. First, an agreement to fix the price of peer review services at zero that includes an agreement to coerce scholars into providing their labor for nothing by expressly linking their unpaid labor with their ability to get their manuscripts published in the defendants’ preeminent journals.

Second, the publisher defendants agreed not to compete with each other for manuscripts by requiring scholars to submit their manuscripts to only one journal at a time, which substantially reduces competition by removing incentives to review manuscripts promptly and publish meritorious research quickly.

Third, the publisher defendants agreed to prohibit scholars from freely sharing the scientific advancements described in submitted manuscripts while those manuscripts are under peer review, a process that often takes over a year. As the complaint notes, “From the moment scholars submit manuscripts for publication, the Publisher Defendants behave as though the scientific advancements set forth in the manuscripts are their property, to be shared only if the Publisher Defendant grants permission.

I think that’s an honest mistake. She was awarded the Women’s Grandmaster title and the International Master which is confusing unless you look at the standards. It’s arguably a world title holder? Maybe? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsa_Derakhshani

It was, but even when I look at present day it shows weird colors and it doesn’t explain what’s going on. I like the one that someone else linked in this thread, it’s more clear. Also, it was kind of cool to compare 2 years ago to today with the old site, even though the today wasn’t that great.

Thank you, this makes way more sense to me.

That’s a cute air biscuit.

I’m guessing you do subscribed as well. I’ve also found it kind of nice to be able to leave and get on with my day. Reddit used to suck me in.

Are you checking for hot, 6 hours and 12 hours? I think it defaults to active which does make it seem, ironically, less active.

I think it depends on what you disagree with. If one is promoting going after our neighbors, hunting them down and killing them? Yeah, defederate. If another is Meta trying to take over the federation. Yeah, I vote defederate. If one thinks Hawaiian pizza is a travesty and the other doesn’t, hold your horses.

FFS Canada, don’t let them take your healthcare. Let the US serve as a warning. I don’t know how you save yours, but you’ve got a lot of smart people. Figure it out before your healthcare goes in the shitter like ours.

Working there? Sometimes there’s no choice. Buying anything there? Definitely a choice.

This is Chicago, they’re not exactly known for a light touch when it comes to the police. Still not cool.

Pacheco — a freelance journalist who has worked with the New York Times, PBS, and Forbes — was one of at least three credentialed journalists arrested amid protests on the second day of the Democratic National Convention. Pacheco, who was carrying photography equipment with media credentials hanging around the neck, identified as a journalist to officers and displayed a press pass. An officer responded by snatching away their credentials. Pacheco spent the next nine hours in police custody. Also arrested in the same march were photojournalists Sinna Nasseri and Olga Federova, who were released by early Wednesday morning, according to social-media posts. Nasseri, whose photography has been featured in the New York Times and the New Yorker, wrote on Instagram that he was arrested while “documenting the protest tonight from a public sidewalk.” He shared video of himself standing in handcuffs next to several officers with his camera still hanging around his neck.

This seems like a one-sided article. If you find a better one, I’ll take this down.

Ahhh, I always forget about TikTok. I’ll go check. Thanks.

Anyone know where I could watch it? NBC ain’t giving it up.

Fight! Fight! Fight! I hope that whole empire implodes.

I was thinking more “inner peace”, but “serenity” really works too. Congrats, it’s awesome to see someone not knowing why they feel great or having the words to describe it. We need to spread the serenity.
