I’ve always known and used them interchangeably, my health teacher had to update the ancient health textbooks through her lectures. This meant that when it came to the sex ed portion, we stopped using the 40 year old textbook almost entirely and used a modern bookless curriculum.
I suppose that’s a matter of perspective. Using inches for measurement and a total ignorance of sex education screams US to me
Planned Parenthood provides STD testing. Go see them. Set an appointment here
I highly recommend the online book How to Think Like a Computer Scientist.
Fun fact, the person maintaining this book is professor emeritus from my college and received multiple awards of recognition from the IEEE
I like to find news sources that analyze the story as well as explains where it fits into the ongoing situation, why it’s relevant, and has a reasonably accurate history of predictions based on their analysis. Since this is rare, I try to find a source that has 3 of the 4 to make it part of my news consumption. So this tends to include Democracy Now!, Some More News, Last Week Tonight, Beau of the Fifth Column, AP, and the like. A lot of the sources shared on lemmy, bar the NYT, are in that category
The NEA is peak business union. There are movements to democratize the union though. It’s happening in most unions lately
Factory farming should be banned. Food is not worth that cruelty, even if the fires have nothing to do with the farm itself.
Having lived in a house with radiators, bleeding registers is like a once every 5 years type of task. There’s a much larger leak in the system, you should talk to your apartment manager.
I have a friend that likes it well done. I cook it to medium well because I love them
They won’t realize it unless someone helps them understand. Start with organizing a union

They should absolutely stick to their plan to vote in 2025

Still a drop in the bucket, but these are fine numbers I can get behind
It’s not so much a special capacity of swifties, but that they’re probably the only large unified bloc anywhere on the electoral left. I like them because they’re a large enough group of progressive liberals to prove that a unified front is absolutely effective
Because I don’t have the capital, and jumping into forming a large worker cooperative is incredibly risky. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to, but I’ve found my niche and it’s organizing unions within the tech industry.
I’m trying to reframe the point of the discussion, which is about IP. Nitpicking the example is counterproductive, because it’s absurd to assume that no one would ever pay for a piece of software.
If game companies stood to make no money, why would they bother with such a large production?
I’m a games industry professional. I would continue to do this work as an unpaid job if my basic needs were met on a societal level.
You think you’re asking a neutral question, but you’re not. Companies operating within capitalism will behave in the interests of capitalists. IP laws aren’t required for the AAA studios other than to domineer control over an idea. A game like Call of Duty is a titan made by 1000s of professionals. One of those games gets launched every year. By shear force of momentum, there are very few companies that could ever replicate it in any fashion.
Now imagine if COD was made by a company in which IP didn’t exist, all the profits went to the workers rather than shareholders, and that the workers have a say in the launch schedule. Would you be willing to pay for a game in that instance?
People are hoping, almost unconsciously, that hypocrisy still matters
This is a good change, but it would be better if the land was returned to the Cherokee
